BALANCING PROCEDURE
To determine the CFM, follow up the following procedure:
1. Use measuring tools for air velocity like
ALNOR 2220-A lip or 2200 probe, or
Anemotherm air meter.
2. Take number of measuring points (should be
not less than 4) with the probe so located and adjusted as to measure the maximum air velocity to the
air flow direction on the face of the diffuser as shown.
3. Calculate the average measure velocity by using :

4. Determine the area factor Ak from table (6) considering the proper size .
5. Calculate CFM :

PERFORATED CEILING DIFFUSERS

GENERAL
DASCO perforated ceiling diffusers DDP-6 are
designed especially for installation where a smooth
air flow as well as asymmetrical air diffusion is
required to meet with a certain HVAC application,
and yet with a pleasing appearance to suit
architectural requirements to flush outlets and
concealed fixing method.

DESCRIPTION

Perforated Ceiling Diffuser

(DDP - 64S)

DASCO perforated ceiling diffuser DDP- 6 is a multi-vane type with a fully and easily removable perforated
face with 4 mm diameter holes, 6 mm pitches and 40% of its face open, with square or round neck and
can be supplied in 1,2,3&4 way airflow patterns for all air distribution requirements. The diffuser can
also be supplied with an opposed blade damper section ( for supply diffusers only ) which in turns is
fixed to the outer frame of the diffuser and is lever operated from the face of the diffuser. Key operated
opposed blades damper can also be supplied upon request. The damper frame is separated from its blades
by using nylon bushings to eliminate corrosion and vibration. DDP-6 perforated ceiling diffuser is available
in square and rectangular patterns for supply air as well as for return-air and which in turn is supplied
without opposed blade damper as standard.

MATERIAL AND FINISH

High quality extruded aluminium in sliver anodized matt finish. Perforated face is of aluminium sheet
1.5 mm thickness.
White polyester powder coating finish or any other RAL standard colour are also available upon your
requirement.
