Technical Description
Design
The square, perforated supply air diffuser consists of a
diffuser backing box and a diffuser face. The air diffuser's
perforated face plate is equipped with an adjustable air flow
director for simple variation of the distribution pattern. The
diffuser face is easy to install and remove. This enables quick
and uncomplicated installation, commissioning and cleaning.
The air diffuser is also available in a low version if the
space inside the ceiling void is restricted. The air diffuser is
then supplied without sleeve coupling (not size 400-600).
Materials and finish
The diffuser backing box and the diffuser face are made
of sheet steel. The commissioning box is made of galva-
nized sheet steel. The interior and exterior surfaces of the
air diffuser are painted in our standard white colour: RAL
9010. Air diffuser is also available painted in alternative
standard colours: dusty grey RAL 7037, white aluminium
RAL 9006, jet black RAL 9005, grey aluminium RAL 9007
and signal white RAL 9003 (NCS 0500).
Accessories:
Commissioning box:
ALS commissioning box made of galvanized sheet steel.
The commissioning box contains a removable commis-
sioning damper, fixed measurement tappings and sound
absorbing material with a reinforced surface layer.
A combination for low design is also available, if instal-
lation in an extra low ceiling void is required. The air dif-
fuser as well as the commissioning box are then supplied
without any insertion joint and branch.
The commissioning box is available with 1 or 2 changes in
dimension between the inlet and the outlet.
Frame:
SAR K, for aesthetic installation of a lowered diffuser section.
Adapter:
ADAPTER, for adaptation to various variants and makes
of systemized false ceilings: Ecophon, Gyproc, Dampa etc.
Also used for adaptation to optional sizes of lay-in ceil-
ings, for instance 625 x 625 or 675 x 675. Specification in
separate product sheet for ADAPTER.
Project Design
PELICAN Ceiling is available in two connection sizes with
square dimensions of 395 x 395 and 595 x 595 mm respec-
tively. This makes the air diffusers very easy to install in
suspended modular ceilings with size 600 x 600 mm inser-
tion dimensions for modules. Position the air diffuser on
the surface of the T-bar framework and then secure it to
the duct system. PELICAN Ceiling is also available in a low
version for installation in a ceiling void where the installa-
tion height of components must be minimized.
The air flow director can be accessed after you remove the
air diffuser face from its spring retainers. It consists of a
number of adjustable air deflectors and by turning these you
can easily set the distribution pattern desired. See Figure 1.
Installation
To unfasten the diffuser face, press in the spring retainers
on one side of the diffuser and let the diffuser face hang
on its safety cords. The inlet spigot of the diffuser backing
box can be secured to the connecting ducting by means
of self-tapping screws or a blind rivets. For flush-mount-
ing in fixed ceiling constructions, secure the air diffuser by
means of self-tapping sheet metal screws in the underside
of the commissioning box.
For installation in modular suspended ceilings, position
the air diffuser directly down in the T-bar framework, and
then secure it to the building structure with hangers or
mounting brackets. The distance between the commis-
sioning box and the air diffuser can be increased by as
much as 500 mm using an ordinary circular duct without
having to lengthen the measuring hoses and damper
adjustment cords. See Figure 2.
Commissioning
Commissioning should be carried out with the face plate
mounted. Pull the measuring tube and damper adjusting
cord out through the face plate. Connect a manometer
to the right measuring tube. The red + red or red + blue
tube is used for supply air depending on whether a one or
two-step ALS commissioning box is used. For extract air,
use the transparent tube only. The required commission-
ing pressure can be calculated by means of the K-factor of
the air diffuser/register. Adjust the damper to the correct
position and tie a commissioning knot on the damper
cords to indicate the damper setting.
The K-factor is specified on the product identification
plate and also in the relevant commissioning instructions
available at www.swegon.com.
Maintenance
The air diffuser can be cleaned, if necessary, using luke-
warm water with dishwashing detergent added. The duct
system can be accessed after you have opened the air
diffuser face and removed the perforated plate. If an ALS
commissioning box is used, pull the distributor plate aside
to enable you to grip and twist the damper unit from of
its mounting. See figure 4.
