INTRODUCTION
Ceiling diffusers are the excellent choice for HVAC system where a high standard of comfort indoor air
quality and controlled performance are to be achieved. COSMOS ceiling diffusers are specially designed
for ceiling‐mounting applications. They are suitable for supply air as well as exhaust air, providing a
stable pattern of air diffusion, flowing through a number of concentrically arranged sections.
Controlled air distribution, flow equalization, sound attenuation, architectural appearance and solid
construction are all reasonable and worthwhile reasons to choose COSMOS CEILING DIFFUSERS.
Model: SQL‐4 Model: RTL‐4
COSMOS ceiling diffusers are designed to handle a wide range of horizontal airflows that will meet all
HVAC requirements, and yet with a pleasing appearance to suit architectural requirements.
An engineered blade design on all angular discharge louvers creates a stable horizontal air pattern that
is tight to the ceiling. Corners of outer cores are mechanically fastened to provide precisely mitered
corners and add strength to the diffuser.
COSMOS ceiling diffusers are available in square (SQL) or rectangular (RTL) patterns for supply air as well
as for return air and which in turn is supplied with or without opposed blade damper. When supply with
opposed blade damper ( for supply air diffuser ), damper is fixed to the outer frame of the diffuser and
is screw operated from the face of the diffuser. The damper frame is separated from its blades by using
nylon bushings to eliminate corrosion and vibration.
COSMOS ceiling diffusers SQL and RTL are multi‐vane type with a fully removable core from its face for
easy installation, with square neck and can be supplied in 1, 2, 3 and 4 way airflow patterns for all air
distribution requirement.
Different frame types are available to suit almost any mounting condition including surface mount and
T‐bar panel types. Ceiling diffuser is also available with an extended frame to suit the size of ceiling tile
thus models offer a great degree of design flexibility.
Diffusers are available with wide variety of core styles and neck sizes. A combination can be selected to
suit a specified air pattern and deliver the desired volume of air to suit any particular requirements.
