Peripherals new softaire Diffuser is about as Green as it can get. It Reduces Energy costs, Reduce Wear and Tear on Equipment, and makes a Room More Comfortable. This new design mixes supply air with room air in half the distance of conventional ceiling diffusers. Thus air distribution is uniformly mixed creating either cooler or heated air throughout the room; It eliminates hot or cold spots most people experience with conventional ceiling grills. This mixture reduces the workload of a permanent or portable air handling system saving energy with the unique air distribution.
The Peripherals Softaire Diffuser is for commercial and residential use. Payback is only a few months as energy savings are around 28%. Replace old grill diffusers in a matter of minutes and feel the difference immediately.
NC Values:
Peripheral's Softaire Diffusers are very quiet. Sound pressure levels (SPL) never exceed ambient background SPL up through flow rates of 1,000 FPM. At 1,000 FPM the NC value of Softaire was 22. At 1,500 FPM the NC value was 33. These values are consistently quieter than the competitors diffuser tested, which had NC values ranging from 23 at 600 FPM to 44 at 1,500 FPM.
Layout:
Draw throws radius circles uniformly around the diffusers. For high air-change design, the throw patterns may show over-lap and wall interference. For low air-change, there may be space between patterns and walls. This is OK. Do not try to throw to the furthest corner of the room. The kinetic energy supplied by each jet will gently drive the air mixture to the furthest wall. The mixture will hug the ceiling because of the Bernouli velocity pressure effect, and the zero relative weight of the air at the stabilization temperature.
Field Adjustment:
to find the design velocity of each diffuser, divide design CFM by the outlet area of the desired diffuser (see Performance Table). Read the average diffuser outlet air velocity with an appropriate air velocity meter (like a Dwyer #460). Do not use a volume instrument. Adjust the branch duct damper to obtain the design velocity.
