General Information

Application

  • For supplying air to comfort zones in cases where the supply air flow rate is to be controlled
  • The variant with discharge nozzle allows for suspended installation
  • The efficient swirl creates high induction levels, thereby rapidly reducing the temperature difference and airflow velocity
  • Closed-loop volume flow control using an external power supply
  • Differential pressure measurement with integral measuring tubes

 

Special characteristics

  • RFD-SIRIUS combines the functions of a volume flow controller, sound attenuator, plenum box and air terminal device in one unit.
  • Low sound power level, ideal for comfort zones
  • For all types of ceiling systems, also suitable for freely suspended installation

Function

Functional description

RFD-SIRIUS combines the functions of a volume flow controller, sound attenuator, plenum box and air terminal device in one unit. To determine the current actual volume flow rate, the differential pressure is measured using the integrated measuring tubes and transmitted to the controller. Depending on the desired setpoint value, the volume flow control unit is adjusted with an integrated linear actuator. The construction of the diffuser ensures that sound is effectively absorbed, which results in low sound power levels.

Specification Text

RFD-SIRIUS is an air terminal device combined with a VAV terminal unit. The ceiling diffuser with a square or circular diffuser face is preferably used as a supply air diffuser for comfort zones. The fixed air control blades allow for horizontal swirling supply air discharge creating high induction levels. The diffuser is suitable for installation into all types of suspended ceilings. The diffuser is fixed with a central fixing screw to the cross bar (no tools required); the cross bar is inserted into the SIRIUS plenum box (no tools required) and held in place with magnets. The SIRIUS plenum box is fitted with two spigots, one for connection to the ductwork and another one for connection of the diffuser face. The SIRIUS plenum box contains two cylinders, one fitted inside the other; one of the cylinders is perforated. The perforated cylinder is moved along a toothed bar upon control input from the volume flow controller, and the free area changes as a consequence. A fleece covering the perforated cylinder acts as an equalising element. This special construction feature allows for omitting any additional sound attenuator.
