VVKR
Swirl ceiling diffuser with adjustable deflectors

Ordering codes Description

VVKR is a swirl ceiling diffuser with manually adjustable
VVKR-
air guiding deflectors. It enables us to adjust
A the airflow pattern to individual requirements
B of the room at any time. Ideal to use in shopping halls,
Type C
receptions, or offices. The diffuser is suited for both cool
Round front plate R and hot air application, and can be used for extracting air
Square front plate S with or without deflectors. The maximum recommended
installation height is 4 meters. Supply air temperature
Dimensions 300 - 825 can vary from -10K to +10K based on the room air
temperature. The diffuser can be used for large air

Ordering Code example:
VVKR - A - S - 300 × 8 - W - RAL9010
Swirl diffuser with adjustable deflectors, type-A square diffuser face size
300×300 mm with 8 deflectors. Deflectors are painted white (W).

NOTE:
Combinations of diffuser types, dimensions and number of deflectors need
to be based on Fig. 6 (page 3).

Design
Material used

The diffuser can be supplied with a round or square front

plate manufactured from galvanized steel. The surface is
powder painted white RAL9010 as standard, or another
RAL code can be specified. It is also possible
to manufacture a stainless steel AISI304 or AISI316
version, without surface finish.
The deflectors are made from plastic, available in black
or white colour. In the middle of the diffuser there is 1

a pre-punched hole for front plate screw fixing. A screw

with a white decorative cap for its installation is provided
together with a self-adhesive seal, which must be
adhered at the installation site.

Fig. 2: Beveled deflectors configuration

1. All deflectors are set to an external helix

2. Half of the deflectors are always configured to the internal, or external
helix, respectively
3. Deflectors of opposite quadrants are set to the internal, or external
helix, respectively

Swirl Diffuser VVKR Calculation and Design Example

Given parameters:

Room dimensions:
Width: 18,0 m
Length: 24,0 m
Height: 3,65 m
Air exchange in the room: i = 12 times
Room temperature: T = 24 °C
Temperature differential between the room air temperature and the supply air temperature ΔT0 = -8 K
Average air flow velocity between two diffusers at distance H1, vH1 < 0,2 m•s-1
Requested sound power level LWA < 30 dB(A)

Requested parameters:

1. QV - supply air flow volume into the room

2. qV - supply air flow volume into one VVKR
3. VVKR type

Solution:

1. We determine the supply air volume for the room 24 m long, 18 m wide and 3.65 m high with a plasterboard
ceiling. QV = 24 × 18 × 3,65 × 1 = 24 m × 18 m × 3,65 m × 12 = 18922 m3 • h-1
2. Architect’s definition for this particular case is that the minimim distance from a vertical wall is 3 m (Y = 3 m).
Then the remaining area for VVKR distribution is 12 × 18 m. If the axial distance between end diffusers
at a transverse direction is 12 m and the distance between rows is B = 3 m, then the number of rows is 5 and if the
axial distance between end diffusers at a longitudinal direction is 18 m and the distance between columns is A = 3
m, then the number of columns is 7.
We calculate the supply air flow volume into one VVKR
qV = QV / number of rows (B) × number of columns (A) = 18922 / (5 × 7) = 540 m3 • h-1
3. Based on Tab. 6 we determine a preliminary size design for q V = 540 m3 • h-1, which is VVKR-A-S-600×40

Calculation of the amount of pressure drop, sound power level and effective velocity
for a swirl diffuser
Given parameters:

VVKR-A-S-600×40
Air supply into box - horizontally
Measurable air flow volume q V = 540 m3 • h-1
Free area at dimensions 600 × 40 AV = 0,0409 m2
(from Tab. 4)

Requested parameters:

1. LWA
2. Δpt

Solution:

Based on page 13 (Diagram 1) for an open damper in VVKR-A-S-600×40, where q V = 540 m3 • h-1 we get:

1. diffuser pressure drop: Δpt = 22 Pa

2. sound power level: LWA = 29 dB(A)

 Diffusers | 13 / 18

Calculation of vH1 and ΔTL for a swirl diffuser at basic deflector configuration
Flow length between the occupied zone and the ceiling H1 = H - H0 (Obr. 7)
H1 = 3,65 - 1,8 = 1,85 m
Distance between two anemostats A=B=3m

Diagram 2 for VVKR-A-600×40 with a horizontal connection, at qv = 540 m3 • h-1, A = 3 m and distance H1 = 1,85 m shows:
1. vH1 = 0,18 m • s-1

Diagram 3 shows the temperature differential ΔTL / ΔT0 for VVKR-A-S-600×40,

at distance Lt = A/2 + H1 = 1,5 + 1,85 = 3,35 m is:
2. ΔTL / ΔT0 = 0,06
ΔTL = ΔT0 × 0,06 = -8 × 0,06 = -0,48 K

NOTE: In the calculation, it is important to use a lower Lt amount, i.e. the worst case scenario (by a wall or between two diffusers).

Conclusion:
The requests in the example will be fulfilled by anemostat
VVKR - A - S - 600 × 40 in the amount of 35 pieces

with the PB - VVK - S - 600 - S - H plenum box in the amount of 35 pieces,

PB-VVK
Plenum box

The PB-VVK is produced in 2 types of shapes round

(PB-VVK-R) or square (PB-VVK-S), with a horizontal
or a vertical connection and with internal or external
insulation. The plenum box is made of galvanized sheet
as a standard.

There are 2 types of connection:

• D1: a simple spigot without a seal, with a damper

• D2: a pressed spigot with a seal including the Zeus
damper (damper information available on page 15)

Mounting
The VVKR swirl diffuser is most commonly installed
onto a ventilation duct as illustrated on Fig. 12.
The mounting consists of installing the plenum box
to the ceiling using draw-bars and mounting the diffuser
face onto the plenum box using a centric screw which is
included in the delivery.
Fig. 12 depicts various methods of installing the VVKR
onto the ceiling. When mounted into a suspended
grid ceiling the supply air swirl is expected to be
partially reduced. It is therefore needed to respect the
minimum distance of the diffuser - at least 150 mm
from the grid ceiing.
