Functional description

Ceiling swirl diffusers in air conditioning systems create a swirl to supply air to rooms. The resulting airflow induces high levels of room air, thereby rapidly reducing the airflow velocity and the temperature difference between supply air and room air. Ceiling swirl diffusers allow for large volume flow rates. The result is a mixed flow ventilation in comfort zones, with good overall room ventilation, creating only very little turbulence in the occupied zone.

Type VD ceiling swirl diffusers have adjustable air control blades. Different air patterns allow for cooling or heating mode, or for the adjustment to varying loads. Horizontal air discharge is omni directional. Vertical air discharge is possible in heating mode. The supply air to room air temperature difference may range from –12 to +15 K.

An actuator (optional) adjusts the blades based on demand.

Nominal sizes

425, 600, 775, 1050 mm

Minimum volume flow rate

95 – 675 l/s or 342 – 2430 m³/h

Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the volume flow rates and corresponding sound power levels and differential pressures.

The maximum volume flow rates apply to a sound power level of approx. 50 dB (A) with damper blade position 0°.

Installation and commissioning

  • Preferably for rooms with a clear height from 3.8 m
  • Flush ceiling installation
  • VD-...-K: Also freely suspended installation
  • VD-V: Ceiling distance of at least 300 mm allows for continuous adjustment of the air pattern
  • Horizontal or vertical duct connection

Installation information

  • Installation can be flush with the ceiling or freely suspended
  • If the VD is mounted flush with an open cell ceiling, the resulting air pattern is the same as with freely suspended installation
  • Continuous adjustment of the air pattern using an actuator is only possible with freely suspended installation, installation flush with an open cell ceiling, or installation with the diffuser protruding from an open cell ceiling
  • Installation and making connections to be performed by others

These are only schematic diagrams to illustrate installation details.
