What is air distribution?
Air distribution is the distribution of fresh air and is carried out through intake grilles placed in the floor, wall and/or ceiling. It is important that the fresh air be introduced into the room draught-free.
The fresh air can be introduced into the room via displacement or mixing. The comfort zone/accommodation area must be determined in the room. In the occupied zone for offices, it is important that at least NEN-EN-ISO 7730 class B is met. The positioning of the blow-in diffusers must ensure that the room is flushed evenly, without dead zones.
How does air distribution work?
How fresh air flows through a room depends on the blow-in location, the difference in temperatures and The inducing effect of the grille. The fresh air blown in through the grille draws in ambient air (induction). As a result, the velocity decreases and the mass of the air in motion increases.
Ducts transport air between the central air handling unit and the blow-in diffusers. Professionals must ensure issuance of a LUKA system certificate with fittings at airtightness class C.
