Product Information & Applications
Concentrics

As the leading manufacturer of Concentric Diffusers for the past 30 years,

Ruskin Rooftop Systems offers a cost effective way of distributing air in a
simple and practical manner. Ruskin Rooftop Systems is the only manufacturer
that provides a supply duct through return air transition, allowing even air flow
on all four sides of the diffuser ­— this supply through transition offers 25%
better air flow than the competition.

25% BETTER AIR FLOW

Concentric Diffuser Selection Tool

Ruskin Rooftop Systems Concentric Diffuser Selection Tool helps you
select the model and size of the concentric diffuser needed for your next
job. Concentric Diffusers allow you to minimize your duct runs and eliminate
multiple registers by integrating both supply and return air for an easy
commercial installation.

1. All data is based on the Air Diffusion Council guidelines.
2. Throw data is based on Terminal Velocities of 75 FPM using isothermal air.
3. “Neck Velocity” is the speed in feet per minute of the air coming into the diffusers – similar to duct velocity.*
4. “Jet Velocity” is the speed in feet per minute of the air exiting the diffusers.*
5. Actual noise levels are less than those shown.
* Jet velocity is higher than neck velocity on the (510) flush mount diffusers because the air gets “pinched down”
as it exits – similar to high pressure water coming out of a garden hose with a sprayer.
 The drop down (530) diffusers have enough face area in the supply grills so that the air velocity does not
increase significantly as it exits the concentric. That is why “Neck Velocity” and “Jet Velocity” are the same for
the drop downs.
