DLQL...-H for side entry

Ceiling diffusers Type DLQL provide a comfortable air conditioning of rooms. The horizontal discharge takes place with high induction, which results in a rapid decay of supply air velocity and temperature differential over a short distance from the diffuser. Diffusers with one to four way discharge allow the best discharge configuration to be selected to match the room geometry and provide acceptable velocities in the occupied zone. The ceiling diffusers are suitable for all types of suspended ceiling systems. The frameless construction ideally blends with the design of the ceiling. For comfort conditioning of the occupied zone the diffusers can be used for room heights up to 4 m. Special characteristics Face plate made of powder-coated perforated sheet metal Face plate in various dimensions can be integrated into conventional ceiling systems Additional blanking plates to provide various air discharge directions 2

The ceiling diffusers consist of a sheet metal casing and a face plate made of perforated sheet metal. The construction with the side entry spigot is achieved using an additional universal plenum box. Supply air diffusers have a baffle plate on the rear of the perforated face plate.

Installation
The customer must install the ceiling diffusers, make all connections, and provide the hanging system, connection and sealing materials. Only trained expert personnel should install and make the appropriate connections. All legal regulations for site work must be complied with. The plenum box (side entry) has four suspension holes and the casing (top entry) has four hanging brackets for suspending the diffuser from the ceiling slab. Use only certified hanging systems.

Installation into grid and plasterboard ceilings Installation into T-bar ceilings

The face plate of the ceiling diffuser (DLQL-T) rests on the T-bar or on a similar profile. The casing rests on the back of the face plate but it must be supported separately from the ceiling slab.

The face plate of the ceiling diffuser (DLQL-P) is attached to the casing with a central fixing screw. In the case of large dimensions (above Q = 500 mm), the face plate is equipped with chamfered corners.

Directions of discharge
Without blanking plates, the air is discharged horizontally and evenly on all sides (four-way). Alternative air discharge directions can be achieved with blanking plate accessories. A maximum of three blanking plates are placed in the ceiling diffuser. They can be arranged in any manner. Extract air ceiling diffusers have no blanking plates.
