M-RLAD M-SLAD

General Information: Features:

MMC Linear Slot Diffusers are produced from • Made of high quality extruded alumini
specially drawn aluminium profiles. They are um profile
suitable for ceilings and high side-wall applica- • Designed for variable air volume
tions. Thanks to the connection possibilities of the systems
slot diffusers, it is possible to create continuous • The directions and volume of the
diffusers in multiple length and with different discharge of air can be adjusted by
corner angles. The two continuous blade type moving the pattern controllers
dampers enable to select the throw direction. • Full 180o pattern controller adjustment
Upon demand it is possible to mount type sliding means there is no left or right, specify
type volume regulating dampers at the entries of ing ordering and installing are simplified

alignment accessories to provide superi
It is also possible to produce the slot diffusers with or, positive field alignment
plenum boxes. The plenum boxes are produced • Size manufacture on request
with side entries only, insulated or uninsulated in • Up to 8 slots available
accordance with customer’s demand. Standard
colors of diffusers are white and other colors are
also possible on customer request.

For supply or return air, fully adjustable loose core linear slot diffuser with unique air pattern control
design. The air pattern can be adjusted in site or factory, set to suit design requirements. It is suitable for
ceiling mounting applications. The loose core linear slot diffuser’s unique design allows the installer to
simply push the complete core of the diffuser upwards to allow it to be screw fixed to the box above
then simply dropped back down into the frame.

For the selection tables with lateral discharge:

• The diffuser is located along the longitudinal axis of the ceiling, next to the wall, in a room following
size:

• The air jet is adherent (Coanda effect), i.e., the diffuser is mounted flush with the ceiling.

For the selection tables with vertical discharge:

• The diffuser is located in the middle of the ceiling in a square room.

• Positioning for vertical discharge, as non-adhering jet.
• The diffuser length is less than 0.5 times the width of the room and less than 0.5
times the throw.
• The pressure Pt is measured inside the duct upstream of the plenum box.
• The height of the room is 3 +/- 0.5m.
• The T is equal to -10oC, the temperature difference between the room and the supply
air.
• The maximum velocity is 0.25m/s in the occupied zone.

Correction factor for width to length ratio of the room (applied on both 20&25 mm)
The factor is known as Ca. To calculated, divide the diffuser width less length by the length of the
room. This is applicable to linear slot diffusers with lateral discharge. In diffusers with vertical discharge,
Ca is equal to 1, since these diffusers have been tested in a square room (A/L=1).

Product Notes

Aluminum linear slot supply diffusers shall be MMC Model M-SLAD supplied with pattern control
deflectors and 2 sets of hit & miss volume control damper. Model M-RLAD matching returns
(without pattern control deflectors) and 1 set of hit & miss volume control damper for uniform
appearance with supply diffuser, and Model M-CLAD combination supply-return units will be
supplied only with 1 set of hit & miss volume control damper. Outer frame type shall conform and
integrate with the floor, wall, or ceiling type shown. Frames are available in 32mm, 20mm and
frameless (optional). Pattern deflectors and hit & miss damper will be black in colour.

Linear diffusers shall be available up to 3 meters single-piece length, and have 1 to 8 slots, with a
slot width of 16mm, 20mm & 25mm as scheduled for the appearance and performance require-
ments as shown. Diffuser runs greater than 3 meters shall consist of multiple diffusers aligned
end-to-end using alignment strips within the diffuser keyways, to form a continuous slot appear-
ance. Alignment strips shall be provided by the diffuser manufacturer.

The aluminum extruded flow control vanes utilized in supply diffusers shall be independently
adjustable within each slot to control air volume and pattern (direction) for vertical or horizontal
directions. Inactive sections shall be blanked-off utilizing flow control vanes. The physical appear-
ance of the face of supply diffusers shall not change regardless of these adjustments. Supply
diffusers and return units shall also be identical in appearance from the face. CURVED SLOT
DIFFUSER will be supplied only with 1 set of hit & miss damper. There will be no pattern control
deflectors provided for curved diffuser. Site measurement or template is required to produce
curved slot diffuser. Measurement cost will be charged additional from the customer.

Supply duct / plenum should be thermal insulated. The slot diffusers to be mounted with the
bracket & screws to the plenum box for rigid and strong installation.

Finish shall be RAL 9016 Matt (white).

Test Standard: ASHRAE Standard 70.

Airflow: Air Qty measured in cubic feet per minute/liter per second.

Throw: The numbers shown in table are throw distances in meter along with jet trajectory axis
relating to terminal velocity 0.25 m/s.

Pressure: Ps repesents Static Pressure in pascals.

Noise Criteria: NC Level is determinaed as dB. The NC data shown above are extrapolated mathe-
matically using the data from the existing performance table. Unfortunately we cannot test and
catalog every size available. The NC figures are measured in ideal And controlled laboratory
conditions which normally differ from actual site conditions. They are indicative of the sound gener-
ated by the air going through the outlets. Please note these figures should not be used to deter-
mine actual final noise levels in the space (which are dependent on many other factors related to
the building materials, the furniture, the ambient noise, etc..). Final noise figures can only be estimat-
ed by an acoustic specialist taking into account the noise generated by the air outlets along with
all the other factors affecting noise levels.
