Safety

Intended use

Air diffusers are used for the ventilation of rooms in industrial and comfort areas. The air diffusers are connected to a supply air or extract air system  (provided by the client), which is typically connected to a central air handling unit. Air diffusers are used to supply cooled or heated air to rooms (within the specified supply air to room air temperature differences). Depending on the area of application, special hygiene requirements must be observed during installation, operation, and maintenance. Possible installation in humid rooms, areas with  potentially explosive atmospheres, or rooms withdust-laden or aggressive air must be assessed individually.

General installation information

Observe during installation:

• For room heights up to 4 m (lower edge of ceiling)
• Flush ceiling installation
• Only attach the device to load-bearing parts of the building.
• Only load the suspensions with the device’s own weight. Adjacent components and connecting air ducts must be supported separately.
• For cleaning purposes, the air diffusers must be easily accessible after installation.
• Installation and sealing materials provided by the manufacturer are usually enclosed in a bag in the package.

Protect the device from contamination
Before installation, ensure that the air-ducting components cannot be contaminated by construction activities (VDI 6022). If this is not possible, at least cover the devices or take other precautions to protect them from contamination. In this case, make sure the device is not in operation. Ensure that all components are clean before you install them. Clean thoroughly if necessary. When interrupting the installation procedure, protect all device openings from the ingress of dust or humidity.
