Specification
Construction
Rickard Thermo-disc Diffusers are made from sheet steel and finished in a chip resistant epoxy powder coating. They come in matte white as standard but can also be ordered in colours to suit the architectural requirements. All internal components are made from non-metallic material and are moulded in fire retardant Makrolon glass reinforced plastic.
Typical Applications
Can be used for single diffuser, single room applications through to large open areas with multiple diffusers on multi levels.
Control
Air volume control is achieved through the vertical up and down movement of the control disc within the diffuser. This increases or decreases the aperture size which allows either more or less conditioned air to enter the space. The position of the control disc is varied by means of a wax filled thermal element which responds to changes in sensed room temperature. With a rise or fall in sensed temperature the wax extends or retracts the plunger, causing the mechanism to move the control disc to match the air volume requirements of the space served by the diffuser.
