Opposed blade damper
An opposed blade damper is specially designed for
use with all models of TECNALCO square and
rectangular type ceiling diffusers.

Blade arrangement ensures uniform distribution

through diffuser throat. Provides positive control of
air volume from full open to full closed position,
regardless of system pressure.

Attaches quickly with sheet metal screws directly to

neck of the diffuser. Operating lever is accessible at
diffuser face of screw operating is accessible at the
face of the opposed blade damper, which can be
operated by a key or a screw driver.

The material is of extruded aluminum mill finish.

Black matt in color is also available on request.

Aluminum filter - AF:

A filter media is specially designed for use in sub-
microscopic clean areas such as in the electronic,
computer, and pharmaceutical industry.
The thickness of the filter varies from 50 mm to 100
mm as per requirement.

A Round Damper (or) Butterfly Damper-BD:

Adapts square neck CDS diffusers to a round neck,
permitting attachment of round flexible or rigid duct.
Damper selection is then restricted to dampers for
round neck only. Adaptors fit over the diffuser neck
for fast assembly.

Duct fixing and Core
Removal:
Insertion of diffuser core is
effected by depressing core pin
springs in holes located at end of
border frame and releasing core
when pins are aligned with
corresponding holes at opposite end of
frame.

Procedure is reversed for removal

of core.

Operation of Opposed
Blade Damper:
Blade arrangement ensures uniform
distribution through diffuser throat.
Provides positive control air volume
from full open to full closed position,
regardless of system pressure.
The full open to full closed
position of damper to any degree can
be operated by a screw driver
after removing the internal core,
which is shown in the figure.

GENERAL NOTES:
The directional segments of each core style are noted as shown to identify with the tabulated performance
data.
Dimensions noted on each core style are the “increments” in mm of the available duct sizes (L x W).
For non-standard core style, or a standard core style with modified air volume requirements, see the detailed
selection procedure and by simple inter and extra-polation of the given data will be obtained.

When two diffusers are discharging air towards each other, selection should be based on the diffuser size
which will produce the required throw (one half the distance between diffuser centers) within the medium to
maximum throw range at the airt volume requirements.
When diffusers are mounted on an exposed duct, or used with drop collars, the throw is decreased by
approximately 40%. Air will be discharged downwards at an angle of approximately 200 from the horizontal.
Horizontal air thrown can be obtained by extending a surface minimum of 300 mm beyond the periphery of
the diffuser.
For heating application, maximum mounting height is 3.7 meters at 16.50C temperature differential with
returns mounted at or near floor level.
NC data are measured at a location from the diffuser of 1.5 meters and 450 angle from the face with an
allowance of 10 dB for room effect and for diffusers without dampers of with dampers fully open. A blank
space indicates no significant sound.
Note: Sound Power level ratings are available for the full range of diffusers upon request and are based on
recommendations as per ADC Standard 1062 - GRD 84.
Dampers fitted to diffusers are intended for fine balancing purposes. excessive dampening to overcome high
duct pressures will result in an increased sound level of approximately 8dB per doubling of pressure drop.

Air Distribution

For ceiling diffusers, in addition to air flow, air throw and induction characteristics are the principle factors for
selection.

The induction factor and the throw can be adjusted by the individual internal setting blades for slot diffusers
but they are mostly fixed for ceiling diffusers.
For such reason, the selection of ceiling diffuser must be made with precision, taking into consideration, the
following procedure:
- calculate the total air flow for the specific area.
- locate diffusers uniformly and co-ordinate with lighting fixtures.
- if diffusers cannot be located in the center of the area, select random diffusers with 1,2 or 3 way pattern.
- suggest diffuser locations considering ceiling height.
- find maximum air flow rate per side of diffuser.
- control the total air flow rate permissible per diffuser.
- select the number of supply and return diffusers.
- control sound level for the type of application.
- select the size of diffusers from the air flow data and re-control the horizontal throw of the selected diffusers.
At important neck velocity, the ceiling diffusers can have high induction factors which are included in the throw
values in the information given on following pages.
The importance of air induction can be observed from
pictures taken with contrast smoke. Air Induction
