SUPPLY, RETURN, DUMMY LINEAR SLOT DIFFUSERS

TECNALCO modulinear slot diffusers are specially designed to provide supply or return air in heating,
cooling or ventilating systems. Constructed of extruded aluminium, these diffusers can be used in virtually
any type of ceiling.
Available in 3 different slot widths, from 1 through 8 slots, modulinear diffusers permit complete control
of flow rate without disturbing the selected air pattern.
Available in 2 defferent types:
Types available:
1) TECNALCO standard type ‘TS’

ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE DATA ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE DATA

Sound level Discharging of air pattern can be observed from the smoke test results.

The sound level of a linear slot diffuser is in direct ratio to the velocity of the air passing through it. due to
the reduced sound level of SLD diffusers, air passing through a properly selected outlet will not add any
appreciable noise to the sound level of the general air conditioning system. When hit and miss damper or
integral damper is partially closed for balancing pyrposes, noise level can increase in function of the
importance of the air distributing network. For distrivuting network extending more than 50 meter, basic
balancing should be made by volume control dampers in the ducting. adjustment of deflection blades does
not add any complementary sound level. Final should attenuation in the distributing system can be obtained
inside sound insualation in the plenum boxes.

In order to obtain reasonable sound level, velocity in the outlet should be selected as follows:
Ceiling height Model: SLD-T‘S’-T‘M’ 1 slot x 1000 mm Model: SLD-T‘S’-T‘M’ 1 slot x 1000 mm
