Why adjustable throw pattern is a key feature in air terminal devices?

Widely adjusted and directable throw pattern plays an integral role in creating high-quality indoor air atmosphere and well-functioning ventilation. The ability to accurately design the throw-pattern leads to minimizing draft at the occupied zone. Additionally, readjusting the air flows prolongs the life-cycle of the air terminal devices by making them adapt to layout changes.

Energy savings with adaptable devices

By using devices with an adjustable throw pattern, the efficiency of air distribution can be optimized. Matching the throw pattern of a diffuser with the location leads to flushing a wider area with the same quantity of supply air compared to when using diffusers with one default diffusion pattern. Often less heated supply air is needed, which plays a significant role in managing the energy consumption of the ventilation system.

Draft-free ventilation with throw-pattern direction

In case of multiple air terminal devices in the same room or when large quantities of supply air are required, a solution is in directable throw-patterns. This is especially evident at sites where the pre-existing structures might limit the positioning of the air terminal devices. Especially in such locations diffusers with an adjustable throw-pattern in a long-term assets.

Adjustable throw-pattern adapts to layout changes

The modern office and educational locations, as well as business premises, are often wide, open areas with relatively light structures for space division. In addition to a need for quiet and draft-free ventilation, synonymic for such locations is that the layout changes are frequent and ventilation solutions need to adapt along with them.

Most of our air terminal devices are developed to contain possibilities for directing and redirecting the throw-pattern as needed. Our selection of such solutions covers diffusers for wall and ceiling installation, nozzle ducts, and displacement diffusers.

Accurate throw-pattern design with Vent.X

We have developed our selection tool Vent.X to answer to needs for a highly accurate throw-pattern design. The alternatives for various diffusion patterns are easily selected and the software gives feedback of the suitability of the design in the Analysis section. To depict the actual site, structural beams can be added in the software, and adjusting the dimensions of the room is easy.

Spirit of Helsinki wins silver in Ocean Globe race

The Finnish boat Spirit of Helsinki crossed the finish line of the Ocean Globe Race last week and achieved a historic second place in the competition. The boat and crew arrived as the third boat at the finish line and were initially tied for winning in both the class and overall races. Boat Maiden Factor took the win after handicaps with a difference of 17 hours. Spirit of Helsinki won its own class (Sayula) brightly. The Finns spent 179 days, 18 hours, 32 minutes, and 45 seconds on the competition. The end of the sailing race also means that Tommi Uksila is back at the helm of Climecon.

Vent. X tips – adding obstacles

Obstacles in the path of the air flow affect the throw patterns of the air terminal devices. By modeling the obstacles in the space, their effect on the throw pattern of the selected air terminal device and the air movement can be studied. This information helps to choose the right air terminal devices for the space and to place them optimally so for example, the airflow turning down from the barrier does not cause draft problems.
