Plenum boxes are used to connect ceiling diffusers to circular ducts and to fix the diffuser face. Type AK-Uni plenum boxes are fitted with an equalising element that ensures that the air is evenly distributed to the room. A damper blade (optional) simplifies volume flow rate balancing for commissioning. Pressure tap and cord-operated damper blade (optional) allow for volume flow rate balancing with the diffuser face in place.

The following technical data applies for supply air. The K values can be used to calculate the corresponding reference pressure drops for the volume flow rate to be set.

Volume flow rate balancing

When several diffusers are connected to just one volume flow controller, it may be necessary to balance the volume flow rates.

Ceiling diffusers with square plenum box and damper unit (variant -M): The diffuser face can be removed to access the damper unit; the damper unit can then be set to any position between 0 and 90°
Ceiling diffusers with square plenum box, damper unit and pressure tap (variant -MN): The diffuser face need not be removed as the flow adjustment damper can be set with 2 cords (white and green).

Volume flow rate measurement

Ceiling diffusers with square plenum box, damper unit and pressure tap (variant -MN) enable volume flow rate balancing with the diffuser face in place.

Connect the measuring tube to the digital manometer
Read the effective pressure
Read the volume flow rate off the characteristic or calculate it
If necessary, adjust the damper blade position with the cords

A characteristic is included with each AK-Uni plenum box.

These are only schematic diagrams to illustrate installation details.
