Solution:
On the drop chart, lay a straight line connecting the
values for velocity and throw, from examples above
shown, by dark straight line.
Deflection Throw Vk Pt N.C.
Total drop of the air stream is found by adding drop
due to temp. Diff. ( ∆T 10o Dt scale) and drop due to 22O x 0.7 x 1.4 +3
x 1.2
spread (Ds scale).
45O x 0.5 x 1.4 x 2 +4
DT = Dt + Ds = 1.5 + 0.7 m = 2.2 m.
NOTES:
Grilles wtih vertical blades and blade setting of 0o have the longest throw and the smallest spread.
Changing the blade setting towards a longer angle will decrease the throw and increase the spread
and induction. So a better mixing of supply air and room air will occur.
With the double deflection grilles, the spread can be adjusted in the horizontal and vertical place.
Blade setting over 45o is not recommended.

Notes on Selection
Nomenclature:

GRILLES AND REGISTERS TECNALCO
When volume control damper is partially closed for balanc- ing purposes or for final air flow control,
in addition to pressure drop and sound cor- rections, the throw pattern will be reduced between 10
and 18% depending on the amount of throttling. Pressure drop will increase accordingly.
The sound level of a supply grille is in direct ratio to the veloctiy of the air pressure through it.
Air passing through a properly selected outlet grille will not add any appreciable noise to the sound
level of the existing system.
In order for a new air conditioning system to perform to the designers’ plans and specifications,
it must be properly balanced to deliver the required amount of air through each diffuser.
For vertically installed grilles and registers, the throw should reach approximately 3/4 of the distance
from grille to the opposite wall.
Correct ceiling heights must be observed in order to prevent air stream to drop into the occupied
zone which is generally about 1,8 m. above floor level.
Discharging of air pattern can be observed from the smoke test results

The tests were conducted, by the ETL Testing Laboratories, on the selected sizes of the grilles. The grilles
had adjustable opposed blade dampers attached to their inlets. The dampers were set to full open
position. The test results include Area factor, Throw pattern and sound power level.
