FlowBar High Capacity Slot Diffusers

Introduction
Air Diffusions FlowBar is an architecturally designed high capacity linear slot diffuser. It is designed to combine a very high air handling capacity with maximum flexibility and is suitable for either ceiling or sidewall applications. The flexibility of the system can blend into a design or provide contrast with its striking but simple design. FlowBar is a flexible system that can provide straight lines or curves to blend with other architectural elements and enhance the overall concept of the project. FlowBar Key Features Ceiling Mounted High Throw

High capacity single slot diffuser

available in three slot widths of 25mm, 38mm and 51mm.

Surface mounted and plasterframe

border frames available.

Choice of HT (High Throw) series

horizontal or JT (Jet Throw) series vertical air patterns.

Options include:
- Mitred corners, curved, tee and cross piece sections.

Models: - FL-10-HT 25mm slot Models: - FL-15-HT

38mm slot
Models: - FL-20-HT

Integral pattern controllers are 600mm in length allowing the airstream to be directed left and right for horizontal and vertical airflow. Standard slot sizes are
25mm,38mm and 51mm with single section lengths available up to 2400mm.

51mm slot The FlowBar HT series is

primarily designed for ceiling applications and allows the air diffuser to become inconspicuous, whilst fully integrating in to the ceiling system.

Frame styles 66 (surface

mounted) and 22 (plasterframe border) are available as standard. (Other frame/border style options are available)

The FlowBar systems satisfy

both the Architects and Engineers requirements for designing an air distribution system that will maintain optimum room air conditions whilst being efficient yet inconspicuous.

Factory engineered plenum

boxes are supplied to ensure a trouble free installation and that stated catalogue performance data is met.

Jet Throw pattern controllers allow extended throws in typical high bay applications for heated and/or cooled air. Jet Throw pattern controllers are useful along perimeter walls where heated air can be directed downward. Standard slot sizes are
25mm, 38mm and 51mm with single section lengths available up to 2400mm.

The FlowBar JT series have

Jet Throw pattern flow controllers to allow the airstream to be jetted in a horizontal direction (sidewall mounted) whilst fully integrating into the wall system.

The FlowBar systems

satisfies both the architectural and engineering requirements for design of an air distribution system that will maintain optimum room air conditions whilst becoming an integral component of the architectural concept of the project.

Frame styles 66 (surface

Factory engineered plenum

boxes are supplied to ensure a trouble free installation and that stated catalogue performance data is met

Integral pattern controllers

are 600mm in length allow the airstream to be directed left or right (ceiling application) and up and down (sidewall application)

All pressures are given in Pascal (Pa) Pressure loss data assumes a duct velocity less than 4 m/sec in the inlet duct Isothermal throw values are given for terminal velocities of .8, .5, and .3 m/sec. Throw data are based on active sections 1200mm active section. For a 600mm section, the throw values are 0.72 times those shown. For a 3000mm continuous length, the throw values are 1.7 times those shown, 1.8 for 3600mm units. Each NC value represents the noise criteria curve which will not be exceeded by the sound pressure in any of the octave bands, 2nd through 7th, with a room absorption of 10dB, re 10 -12 Watts, for a 1200mm section. (See Table A for other lengths.) For supply units used as a return, add 3 NC.

The tests were conducted with no Plenum effect for pressure or sound. Throw values for High Throw units are based on a 1-way discharge from the slot. Throws listed are for the 1-way air pattern. For divided airflow, select the airflow in each direction according to the number of slots aimed in that direction, with the total airflow apportioned between slots.

(See Table A for other lengths.) For supply units used as a return, add 3 NC.

The tests were conducted with no Plenum effect for pressure or sound. Throw values for Jet Throw units are based on the pattern controller set at 0 discharge vertical flow. Throws listed are for the 1-way air pattern. For divided airflow, select the airflow in each direction according to the number of slots aimed in that direction, with the total airflow apportioned between slots.

All pressures are given in Pascal (Pa) Isothermal throw values are given for terminal velocities of .8, .5, and .3 m/sec. Each NC value represents the noise criteria curve which will not be exceeded by the sound pressure in any of the octave bands, 2nd through 7th, with a room absorption of 10dB, re 10 -12 Watts. The tests were conducted with the FlowBar and plenums as a composite assembly. Plenums not provided by Air Diffusion may demonstrate performance variations from data published by Air Diffusion. Air Diffusion cannot validate performance if a factory engineered plenum is not provided. Throw values for Jet Throw units are based on the pattern controller set at 0 discharge vertical flow. Throws listed are for the 1-way air pattern. For divided airflow, select the airflow in each direction according to the number of slots aimed in that direction, with the total airflow apportioned between slots.

Plenum Boxes
Plenum Boxes Supplied unlined as standard with side entry spigot. Plenum boxes can be supplied internally lined with 6mm class O foam at extra cost. Apply to sales office for price. Specifications Material Standard is a minimum of 0.7mm thick galvanised or zinc coated steel. Construction Plenum boxes are generally fabricated in 3 sections having tray ends, which are either mechanically joined or spot welded to form an airtight seal. Flush ends (no tray indents) are also available. As standard, spigots are side entry and located centrally. All boxes are supplied with plain edges, as standard, (F0 fixing). Standard Installation Method The tray ends of the plenum box incorporate a 15mm indent, on each side to allow for 8mm drop rod fixings, which gives space for holes to be drilled (by others) without disturbing the active section. Installation Options Fixing lugs can be factory fitted if preferred or special fixing methods (by others) may be used. For plenum boxes having flush ends separate hanging brackets/fixing lugs need to be fitted to allow independent support of diffuser and plenum box. Accessories Joggled style plenum boxes or pan adapters. Spigot dampers include; manual quadrant, teleflex operation or cord operated. 6mm thick Class O internal lining. Equalising grids (50% free area perforated mesh). Turning Vanes. Fixing lugs or special fixings (by others). Flush Ends (No Indent). Finish Self finish galvanised or zinc coated steel as standard. Black paint can be applied to internal faces if required. (At extra cost).

Pressure Drops and Sound Rating The pressure drop given is for supply grille with damper fully open. When the grille is installed with plenum box, the pressure loss of the box has to be added to the grille.
