3 Presentation and benefits VLD VLV The VLD and VLV diffusers have been specifically designed for industrial applications They are made of steel and aluminum and come with adjustable guide bladesthese blades orientate the air jet horizontaly and vertically orientation of the air jet without influencing airflow balance Blades adjustment can be done manually with cables or with a motor When the blades are closed, the VLD achieves a maximum range in cooling mode, due to the large holes in the wall In the closed position, the VLV, with its perforated surface, generates a short range horizontal air movement The VLV can create a decontaminated zone Benefits - Air flow direction adjustment from horizontal to vertical - Reduction of air speeds and temperature variances - Localized air diffusion in areas of high heat or pollution - Low pressure loss and low acoustic level - Manual blade adjustment with cable - Possibility of adapting a motorized system, even after installation - Installation without a plenum Areas of application Industrial workshops - Retail spaces - Laboratories - Polluted workplaces - Training rooms - For heights from 3 m to 15 m 1

4 Configuration The VLD / VLV consists of an outer surface (1) made of stainless steel with large holes or a perforated plate, a coupling collar (2) and four guide blades (3) modulating the diffuser according to the desired air flow (4) The blades are interconnected (5) to a rack gear (6), which is manually or mechanically activated All of these parts form a system that can be connected directly to a circular duct without a plenum VLD VLV NAD Klima, Sherbrooke, Qc NAD Klima, Sherbrooke Canada 2

5 Mode of operation When the blades are closed, air entering the diffuser exits horizontally through the side wall (Figure 1) By gradually opening the four blades, the flow will be directed downwards until it reaches a vertical pattern (Figure 2) The blades ratation axis produce a helical flow, especially when the blades are between 0 and 45 At low speed, and when the VLV blades are completely closed, the output speed will be relatively small and will produce a local displacement distribution (pollution control) (Figure 3) Figure 1: VLD with closed blades Figure 2: VLD with opened blades Figure 3: VLV with closed blades (low speed) Cooling mode / horizontal jet The internal and external sources of heat, which originate, for example, from production and / or solar radiation, must be removed by the ventilation system To do this, the cold air circulating horizontally allows a high induction of warm air above a workstation, without creating drafts Heating mode / vertical jet with the VLD diffuser When the four blades are opened, the hot air is blown with high momentum into the work area The same flow will be achieved with the VLV diffuser Stale air discharge with the VLV (cleanup) diffuser In high temperature working areas, it is possible to create a temperate zone In production areas with harmful substances, pollutants must be evacuated without beeing mixed with ambient air This is achieved by diffusion through displacement distribution Both applications are realized through a partial opening of the blades The flow expansion can be modified by changing blade position 3
