DAL 358 14 content 1.1.1 DAL 358 C Cafeteria, CIMA+ ing. , Sherbrooke, Québec NAD Klima Swirl Diffuser Description, areas of application and benefits DAL 358 Swirl diffuser The DAL 358 is a high induction helical (swirl) airflow diffuser with a circular or square front plate. It has offset ABS drums and embedded guiding plates for controlling the air stream. The DAL 358 permits optimal configuration of the ventilation system to meet the requirements of a room. The offset drums which are integrated into the front plate enable a variety of airstream configurations, even after the unit has been installed. The DAL 358’s technology provides high speed discharge of air with relatively low acoustic power. The helical airstream, the stability and the high induction generated from the very start of the outlet vent make the DAL 358 the diffuser of choice for high air flow rates and variable air volumes. Subject to technical changes. Version 06 / 05 / 2015 Areas of application • Areas with high air flow • Rest areas • Offices with partitioned workspaces • Offices and clean rooms • Administrative centres • Computer (server) rooms • Meeting rooms • Multi-purpose rooms • systems with constant or variable airflow rates • Entrance halls (vertical air streams) Benefits • Rapid reduction of speed and temperature variations caused by high induction • Low acoustic power for high airflow rates • Stable helical airflow and a variety of air streams available in 1,2 or 3 directions • Offset cylinders allowing 180° airflow adjustment • Possibility of adjusting airflows, even after installation • Possibility of reducing total airflow rate as much as 25% in VAV • Five to seven times as more induction than a conventional 4-way diffuser • Possibility of eliminating external heating sources due to the diffuser‘s heating abilities. • Fewer diffusers required • Allows a reduction in the total number of units required to circulate a fixed volume of air. • Adaptable to systems requiring constant or variable airflows 1.1.1 DAL 358 1 Swirl Diffuser NAD Klima Configuration Both the square and circular front plates have slots for the offset drums arranged in a star pattern. The diffuser is mounted on a plenum. Up to a nominal size of 600, the front plate is secured by a concealed middle screw. In the case of the DN 600 however, a reinforcement crossbar is required to secure the plate. Only the DN 800 has a different fastening configuration; screws are fastened at the 4 corners of the plate.

Version 06 / 05/ 2015 NAD Klima Swirl Diffuser Mode of operation The offset drums, 100 mm in length, can be rotated a full 360°. In their initial position, (2 1 and 6 5), the airflow will deviate by 90° with a constant discharge of air. Turning the cylinders to positions 1 A and F 6, for example, will increase the section without tapering off or reducing the airflow. Adjustments 2 1 and 6 5 are standard for North America because of the multiple VAV applications (Variable Air Volume). The offset drum, aided by the shape of the slots, creates a powerful channel into which the air is drawn. When nearing the exit of the cylinder, air depression takes place. Controlling the direction of airflow Air flow Indexing range min. max. Helical (swirl) air stream When positioning all the cylinders on 2 1, a rotating air stream is produced below the ceiling in a helical stream, creating a strong induction current. (Standard setting). Direction of airflow Drum position 1 A One-sided air stream This one-sided airflow is obtained by positioning all of the drums in position 2 1. Airflow behaviour The DAL 358 frontal plate has slots arranged in a characteristic star pattern. Turning the cylinders individually can produce a multitude of airstream patterns. In this manner, obstacles to efficient air flow can be avoided (lamp bases, changes in ceiling height, architectural columns, etc....). When installing in high ceilings (>5 m), a portion of the drums in the centre of the diffuser must be directed to produce a vertical blast (see figure 1). Use of the DAL 358 does not require a closed ceiling installation in order to produce a stable horizontal airflow. Drum position 2 1 Drum position 4 3 Despite the variety of air flow directions, all stream options have approximately the same acoustic power and pressure drop because of the specific design of the offset drums. Two-sided air stream This two-sided airflow is obtained by positioning half the drums in position 2 1 and the other half of the drums in position 6 5.

Version 06 / 05 / 2015 NAD Klima Swirl Diffuser Specifications 1 - Description and physical characteristics 1.1 DAL 358 helical (swirl) diffusers are made of 20-gauge satin finished steel. Integrated slots in the frontal plate (circular or square) hold offset drums ensuring a high induction airflow rate and generate a thin stream of air at high speed and low noise level. 1.2 The eccentric drums, 100 mm in length, can be individually rotated by as much as 360°, each one on its own axis, inside the front plate. This design allows for a multitude of configurations covering the full range of air diffusion requirements (vertically 180° and horizontally 360°). The eccentric drums meet requirements of the National Building Code, Section 3.1.13.2, and certified according to the standard ASTME 162 "Surface Flammability of Materials Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source". 1.3 The diffuser's casing is adapted to fit regular North American suspended ceilings or classic gypsum ceilings. 1.4 Every front plate is painted inside and out with polyester TGIC-free powder coated paint, providing a smooth, easy-to-clean finish. The architect or client may choose a standard colour from the RAL colour chart or from a number of special-order colours. 1.5 Offset drums are available in black, cream or white. 2 - Performance 2.1 The diffuser requires a strong induction rate in order to maintain an acceptable temperature differential in the air stream. The ratio of the temperature difference between the air projected by the diffuser into an occupied space and the gap between initial temperature of the room. (∆TXY = TR - TXY) and the initial temperature difference (∆TO = TR - TO). This correlation must perform at a minimum as: ∆TXY / ∆TO ≤ 0.1. 2.2 The diffusers' performance must be confirmed by simulation software. This software indicates the pressure drop, acoustic power it generates as well as showing a cross-sectional view illustrating the critical airflow path in cooling, isothermal and heating modes. The software can demonstrate a nominal velocity in an occupied zone of 0.15 m/s (30 ppm) when requested by the engineer and can adapt to different needs from 20% to 100% of the specific input airflow rate. 2.3 The diffuser must ensure full comfort in situations where there is a variable airflow rate, and be able to accommodate as much as a 25% reduction of the nominal airflow rate. 3 - Connections 3.1 The diffuser is delivered with a plenum made by the diffuser’s manufacturer. The plenum is constructed from 24-gauge galvanized steel and includes a perforated stabilizing (equalizing) plate which regulates the airflow rate. Four suspension points which adhere to paraseismic standards are integrated in the plenum. The inlet collar is centered on the side or on the top of the plenum, and its size is calibrated to accommodate the airflow rate. The joints of the plenum are sealed with caulking which is free of VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions. 4 - Balancing 4.1 Balancing of DAL 358 diffusers must be performed by a professionally certified technician, trained in ventilation system balancing. 4.2 The technician must take into consideration the correction factor for use of a balometer when regulating air volume. 5 - Quality required: NAD Klima, model DAL 358 Subject to technical changes.
