INTRODUCTION

Ceiling diffusers are the excellent choice for your HVAC system
where a high standard of comfort indoor air quality and

www.dasco.com.kw
controlled performance are to be achieved .
DASCO 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
DASCO CEILING DIFFUSERS

Introduction
 CEILING DIFFUSERS

GENERAL
DASCO ceiling diffusers DD-6 are designed
to handle a wide range of horizontal airflows
that will meet all HVAC requirements, and yet
with a pleasing appearance to suit architect-
tural requirements to flush outlets and conc-
cealed fixing method.

DESCRIPTION
Ceiling Diffuser
DASCO ceiling diffusers DD-6 is a multi-vane (One Way)
type with a fully removable core from its
face for easy installation, with square or round
neck and can be supplied in 1,2,3 &4 way airf-
flow patterns for all air distribution requirem-
ments.
Ceiling Diffuser (Two Way)
Ceiling Diffuser (Three Way)

The diffuser can also be supplied with an opp-

posed blade damper section (for supply diff-
fusers only) which in turn is fixed to the outer
frame of the diffuser and is lever operated
from the face of the diffuser. Key operated
opposed blade damper can also be supplied
upon request. The damper frame is separated
from its blades by using nylon bushings to
eliminate corrosion and vibration. Ceiling diff-
fuser DD-6 is available in square and rectang-
gular patterns for supply air as well as for
return air and which in turn is supplied
without opposed blade damper as standard.

 DEFINITIONS
Jet Velocity (Vk) : In FPM for an outlet or inlet is the velocity measured with an approved
calibrated velometer at specified locations relative to the face of the
outlet or inlet.

Terminal Velocity(Vt) : In FPM is the highest sustained velocity in the mixed air stream arbitrary
specified and used to determine throw.

Velocity pressure (Pd) : The forward moving force of an air stream within a duct measured in
( Dynamic pressure) mm (inch) W.G. of water.

Static pressure (Ps) : The outward force within a duct measured in mm (inch) W.G. of water.

Total pressure (Pt) : The sum of the velocity pressure and the static pressure measured in mm
(inch) W.G. of water.

Throw : Of an outlet in m (feet), is the distance from the center of the outlet to
a point in the mixed air stream where the highest sustained velocity of
the mixed air stream has been reduced to a specified level (100 FPM & 50
FPM terminal velocity).

Area factor ( Ak) : Of an outlet or inlet which is also a flow factor determined from the
discharge or intake velocity (Vk) and the volume flow rate (Q)

Ak = Q/Vk in m2 or Ft2

 NOISE CRITERIA

• The sound caused by an air outlet is directly proportional to the velocity of the air passing
through it (see table 1).
• Noise criteria : The sound pressure level of 8 octave bands acceptable to human ears and
is estimated from table 2.
• The room effect : Is the difference between the sound power level of a terminal and the

www.dasco.com.kw
sound pressure level sensed by human ears in the room, and is affected
by room size, sound absorption characteristic of the room surfaces,
ceiling height, space volume, distance of listener to terminal, terminal
location and number of terminals.

Ambient Sounds :
a. Environmental sound – Existing within the space with air conditioning equipment off.
b. External sound – Entering a space from outdoors.
c. Intruding sound – Entering from adjacent spaces.

Prior to selection of NC level from table 2, the three ambient sounds above must be considered.

 SELECTION PROCEDURE

GENERAL
In general the selection of any air distribution equipment starts from a given CFM that is to be
distributed by this equipment. The distance of throw and the sound level are two other important
factors that have to be considered. A selection procedure of the diffuser best suited for your app-
plication is detailed hereunder.
1. Select the style best suited of your design from air flow patterns showing in chart (1).
2. Refer to table 3 for fixing the maximum CFM in any direction for the given ceiling height.
3. Find the maximum allowable total CFM for the diffuser to be selected.
4. Enter the selection tables with the value of the CFM you have, and select the best suited
throw, CFM delivered in the A&B directions and NC level which meet your application.
5. The jet velocity can be calculated using Vk (FPM) = CFM/Ak
Ak is given in table 6.
Vk is used for balancing purposes at site.
AVAILABLE AIR FLOW PATTERNS
Select among the available Square / Rectangular core styles with 1,2,3 or 4 way airflow patterns to
suit air distribution requirements .

Selection Procedure
SAMPLE PROBLEM
A library hall 10 ft. high with the dimensions shown on the figure is supplied with 3600 CFM of
air. Select the diffusers that would fit this application .
1. Divide the space into six equal areas as shown and center one outlet in each area so that

www.dasco.com.kw
each outlet will handle 600 CFM . Note that since the areas are (approximately) square, a
square diffuser would best suit the application.
2. CFM in A direction:
25
X600 = 150 CFM
100

CFM in B direction:
25
X600 = 150 CFM
100

The CFM per direction when checked in table 3 proves to be within the table recommended value .
Reading under 600 CFM from the selection table a 12”x12” diffuser is a satisfactory selection .

• Throw in A direction = Throw in B direction = 16 – 22 Ft.

• Supply N.C. is 35
• Supply static pressure drop is 0.104” W.G.

 BALANCING PROCEDURE

To determine the CFM, follow up the following procedure:

1. Use measuring tools for air velocity like
ALNOR 2220-A lip or 2200 probe, or
Anemotherm air meter.
2. Take number of measuring points (should be
not less than 4) with the probe so located
and adjusted as to measure the maximum air velocity to the
air flow direction on the face of the diffuser as shown.
3. Calculate the average measure velocity by using :
V ( average ) = ( V1+ V2+. . . . . . + Vk )
k
4. Determine the area factor Ak from table (6) considering the proper size .
5. Calculate CFM :
CFM = AkX Vk

 PERFORATED CEILING DIFFUSERS

GENERAL
DASCO perforated ceiling diffusers DDP-6
are designed especially for installation where
a smooth air flow as well as asymmetrical air

diffusion is required to meet with a certain
HVAC application, and yet with a pleasing app-
pearance to suit architectural requirements to
flush outlets and concealed fixing method.

Perforated Ceiling Diffuser

(DDP - 64S)
DESCRIPTION
DASCO perforated ceiling diffuser DDP- 6 is a multi-vane type with a fully and easily removable
perforated face with 4 mm diameter holes, 6 mm pitches and 40% of its face open, with square
or round neck and can be supplied in 1,2,3&4 way airflow patterns for all air distribution req-
quirements. The diffuser can also be supplied with an opposed blade damper section ( for
supply diffusers only ) which in turns is fixed to the outer frame of the diffuser and is lever opera-
ated from the face of the diffuser. Key operated opposed blades damper can also be supplied
upon request. The damper frame is separated from its blades by using nylon bushings to eliminate
corrosion and vibration. DDP-6 perforated ceiling diffuser is available in square and rectangular
patterns for supply –air as well as for return-air and which in turn is supplied without opposed
blade damper as standard.

MATERIAL AND FINISH

High quality extruded aluminium in sliver anodized matt finish. Perforated face is of aluminium
sheet 1.5 mm thickness.
White polyester powder coating finish or any other RAL standard colour are also available upon
your requirement
