DT swirl diffuser
Description, type overview

DT swirl diffuser with the tried-and-tested and high-performance progressively twisted

blade profile. This makes high volume flow rates possible at low sound power levels,
while the radially and axially symmetrical design of the front panel ensures perfect air
flow.

DT swirl diffuser for supply air and exhaust air with constant and variable volume flow rates. The air is distributed sym-
metrically by a square or round front panel with a radial, optically sophisticated design, and the tried-and-tested and
high-performance progressively twisted blade profile.
DT swirl diffusers ensure high induction with the room air directly at the outlet. This quickly reduces the velocity of the
flowing supply air and the temperature differentials. This also applies when heating or cooling a room with a temperature
difference of -12 K between the room air and supply air. If the minimum volume flow rates are maintained in the area of
application, there is never a risk of airflow coming off the ceiling when cooling a room. Air is deflected into the occupied
zone by room walls and counterflows. Optimum air distribution is possible in rooms with heights of approximately 2.5 to
4 m, and is best achieved with plenum boxes installed flush in ceilings.
DT swirl diffusers are made of galvanized sheet steel. The front panels retain a resistant sintered polyester surface
at high temperature, which is extremely colour-fast and anti-static. With powdered coating in colour RAL 9010 (white)
smooth glossy with 80 to 90% gloss level or in another RAL colour.
The plenum boxes made of galvanized sheet steel are optimised for swirl diffusers and low heights and are also avail-
able with powder coating. One or two side-entry connecting pieces or a top-entry connection are possible as standard
features, as well as dampers and special air deflector plates for optimum air distribution with low flow noises, in particular
for supply air. The volume flow can be adjusted without dismantling the swirl diffuser. With holes for suspensions and with
concealed central attachment.
For closed ceilings systems, grid ceilings and for freely suspended installation.

DT swirl diffuser
Dimensioning of room airflow

Occupied zone according to EN 13779

The occupied zone is defined in EN 13779
as a spatial element. The comfort criteria it
W A
lays out must be met.
In the usual area of application, the height
t0 is 1.30 m to 2.00 m. The permissible flow
Y
tR
velocities vY should be set as standard at a
H height of 1.80 m. Higher velocities are per-
0.1 m vY ,t Y
1.8 m 1.3 ... 2.0 m
missible outside the occupied zone, at dis-
0.15 ... 0.75 m
0.5 ...1.5 m tances from 0.15 m to 0.75 m from interior
Occupied zone
and exterior walls and from 0.5 m to 1.5 m
0.05 m
from exterior walls which have windows or
doors.

Dimensioning of DT swirl diffusers

The flow velocity vY is determined in accordance with the
hole pattern by the free swirl diffuser cross-section Afree, by
the volume flow V, by the room height H, by the orthogonal
distances A and B of the swirl diffusers with respect to each
other and their wall distance W. In addition to the absolute
distances A and B, the ratio of A to B is important. Swirl dif-
fusers in extremely rectangular arrangements with A >> B or
B >> A, which can also be single-row arrangements, produce
significantly different flow velocities vY compared to square
and slightly rectangular arrangements. By using suitable
arrangements therefore, the flow velocities in the room can be
optimised; which may be particularly necessary with a high air
change rate.
The following applies to the occupied zone:
DT swirl diffusers achieve
• lower flow velocities vY if
• the distances A and B are considerably greater than 2.65 m,
• the distances A and B are very different and a distance
much shorter than 2.65 m, or
• higher flow velocities vY if
• the distances A and B are equal, but less than 2.65 m,
• a distance, A or B, is equal to 2.65 m.

The flow velocities vY of DT swirl diffusers in the area of the

wall reduce as the distances increase. This applies for the dis-
tances A or B of the swirl diffusers parallel to the wall and also A or B
for their distance W from the wall.
The nomograms show these relationships and the effect of
adjacent walls.
The room airflow can be optimised using various arrangements
of DT swirl diffusers and a corresponding choice of size. In this
way, it is possible to use fewer swirl diffusers. However, effec-
tive room airflow and large enough flow velocities for effective
airflow in the room should also always be ensured.

DTQ0 - 500 - 500 - K1 - 200 - DL
Supply air volume flow V = 550 m³/h
Flow velocity vY = 0.15 m/s
Room temperature tR = 22 °C
Supply air temperature t0 = 16 °C
Temperature ratio Dt / Dt = 0,043
Temperature ty = 0,043 · (16 - 22) + 22 = 21.7 °C

Acoustic limit values NR, NC

The NR limit values given in the nomograms according to ISO 1996 are calculated from octave sound power levels
and not in relation to sound pressure levels. The room attenuation DLR is not taken into account. It depends individu-
ally on the acoustics of the room. NC limit values should be related like NR limit values to the sound pressure level.
In the application area of ventilation and air conditioning, NC may be roughly estimated at NC = NR - 4.
Room attenuation DLR
The nomograms give individual sound power levels. The sum of all the sound pressure levels should be used for the
acoustic rating. It differs from the the sum of individual sound power levels by the room attenuation. Lp, LpA = LW, LWA +
DLR. In ventilation and air conditioning systems, DLR can be approximately estimated as equal to - 8 [dB].

Area of application
Plenum boxes installed flush in ceilings are required for -2
optimum air distribution in rooms with heights of approx-
imately 2.5 to 4 m. DT swirl diffusers then divide the
supply air radially below the ceilings. Air is deflected into -4
the occupied zone by room walls and counterflows. In the
case of cooling, the minimum flow rates should be main-

The minimum volume flow rates specified according to temperature must also be
observed when designing with the nomogram or tables! This can be factored in automati-
cally with the WILDEBOER dimensioning software!
