Introduction
Circular cone ceiling or duct mounted
diffusers, are capable of a high aspiration
rate and have the capacity to handle
large volumes of air at relatively low
sound levels for supply and extract
applications, making these diffusers
particularly useful for installation in open
plan areas such as auditoriums, airport
lobbies, supermarkets and factories.
Four separate model types are available,
Model OD-1, Model OD-2, Model OD-10
and Model DE.
Model OD-1 is a fixed horizontal air
pattern diffuser having flush inner cones.
Model OD-2 is a fixed horizontal air
pattern diffuser with projecting inner
cones. Model OD-10 has an adjustable
flat central disc for horizontal throw or
vertical discharge.

Model OD-1
Description
Models OD-1 and OD-2
circular ceiling diffusers are
capable of handling greater air
volumes and large
temperature differentials due
to the high induction rates
(mixing of supply and room
air) with relatively low noise
levels.
Model OD-1 is a fixed
horizontal air pattern diffuser
having flush inner cones.
Model OD-2 is a fixed
horizontal air pattern diffuser
with projecting inner cones.
Optional butterfly and control
deflectors are available.
Both Model types may be
used for supply or extract
systems and are suitable for
installation in most
commercial and residential
applications.
Material
Steel as standard.
Construction
Fabricated from pressed steel
having an outer flange conical
section with inner cone
assembly mechanically joined
by rods.
Standard Installation
Method
Central screw fixing located in
diffuser face using crossbar
secured into duct above
diffuser neck (Type 7).
Alternatively by using three
screws for a peripheral fixing
through the diffuser face
directly into the ceiling (Type X).
