Twist outlet Preliminary remarks and construction design Preliminary remarks Twist outlets for ceiling installation are proven air outlets from Krantz Components for the coercial and industrial sectors. Thanks to their favourable aerodynamics and acoustics, their attractive appearance and easy installation, these outlets have been put to successful use for decades. They are particularly suitable for coercial rooms with high-quality indoor air flow requirements such as office buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. b a Construction design The twist outlet consists of the spigot a with shaped circular face b and built-in twist vanes c. The twist outlet is fastened centrally with the plug. Connection type A a b c Twist outlet Different connection types are available for connecting the twist outlet to the duct system: Connection type AF Connection type A ) In connection type A, a reducer is used for duct connection. On the one side of the reducer is the sleeve a for the twist outlet and on the other side is the duct connection spigot b. The reducer is fitted with two L-suspensions on opposite sides for fastening the outlet to the ceiling. Connection type A is largely used for fitting twist outlets into closed false ceilings or above open grid ceilings. Connection type AF ) Connection type AF is essentially the same as connection type A except that here the reducer with the flange is fitted on the false ceiling from above and the twist outlet is inserted from below through the false ceiling until it is flush with it. The distance between the circular face of the twist outlet and the support flange of the reducer AF is variable; it can be adjusted to the thickness of the false ceiling. Connection types D and E ) The connection to the duct system is made via a flat connection box. In connection type D, the twist outlet is fitted onto an external sleeve ; in connection type E, it is inserted into the connection box, with the face b being flush with the box bottom. The connection via connection box is effective in rooms with low ceiling plenums: connection type D with thicker false ceilings, connection type E with thinner false ceilings. Connection type E is also advantageous for outlets placed above an open grid ceiling or exposed. www.krantz.de DS E p. 0. With connection types A and AF twist outlets can be used at very low cost. ) See also installation options on page Krantz Components

Twist outlet Mode of operation, return air inlets, sound power level and pressure drop In general: With all connection types the twist outlet is inserted from below and fastened at the plug with a central screw. A side of the connection box is fitted with a spigot for connection to a flexible or spiral seam duct. This spigot may be fitted with a volume flow damper adjustable from the room. The connection box is also available with acoustic lining for higher insertion loss. The advantages of the connection box are low height, simple volume flow rate setting and good insertion loss. Twist outlet with perforated cover screen Connection type D Mode of operation The vanes of the air outlet produce a twist effect and the curved exit causes an additional horizontal jet deflection. The horizontal, radial jets bring about an intensive admixture of indoor air and, as a result, rapid equalization of supply air temperature with indoor air temperature. Twist outlets from Krantz Components belong to the diffuse air distribution system where there is no steady air jet pattern in the occupied zone. Thanks to the very high induction effect of the supply air jets, the vertical and horizontal temperature distribution is extremely even in air-conditioned rooms. Twist outlets can be used up to a temperature difference of K when cooling and + K when heating. Return air inlets Twist outlets can also be used as return air inlets. This applies for all connection types. A return air inlet with cover screen (without twist vanes) is also part of our standard range of products. www.krantz.de DS E p. 0. Connection type E Perforated cover screen Where a visually plane ceiling surface is required, a perforated cover screen is available for the twist outlet. This cover screen is fastened from below with the central screw. Sound power level and pressure drop Typical features of Krantz Components twist outlets are low sound power level and pressure drop. These depend on size, connection type and volume flow rate. For example, for a DN twist outlet with connection type D and a volume flow rate of about l/s [0 m /h]: sound power level = db(a) ref. - W pressure drop = Pa. For diagrams and tables see pages.

Twist outlet Design specifications and features Design specifications The twist outlets can be installed in closed false ceilings, visibly, or above open grid ceilings, i.e. invisible from the room. This is made very easy by the different connection types. The vertical distance between the upper edge of the open grid ceiling and the discharge level should be ³ x DN. In air distribution with twist outlets, supply air and return air openings may be located close together. Disruptions in jet dispersion or short-circuiting are ruled out if the height difference between the lower edge of the return air opening and the discharge level of the twist outlet is kept to min.. If the twist outlet and the return air opening are at the same level, the horizontal centre spacing should amount to at least five times the nominal diameter ( x DN). x DN Concrete ceiling Return air duct Twist outlet Open grid ceiling Supply air duct Features Diffuse air distribution system Maximum temperature difference between supply air and indoor air: K when cooling, + K when heating (+ K up to m room height) Example of supply air distribution via twist outlets above an open grid ceiling. The return air is removed evenly over the whole ceiling and extracted via a return air duct placed above the twist outlets. Stable jet pattern also at minimum volume flow rate Discharge height from. to. m Low sound power level Installation options: inside a false ceiling, above an open grid ceiling, or exposed Twist element easy to mount from below and to fasten with central screw Twist element made from polystyrene or aluminium Optionally available with perforated cover screen for visually plane ceiling surface Twist outlet installed in a closed false ceiling Connection types A and AF with reducer for connection to flexible duct Connection types D and E with connection box and spigot; connection box D with built-in volume flow damper adjustable from room; connection box E with volume flow damper adjustable at the spigot or from room; connection boxes D and E optionally available with acoustic lining The twist outlets (with all connection types) can also be used as return air inlets A return air inlet with cover screen is available as standard for sizes DN to DN www.krantz.de DS E p. 0.

Twist outlet Comfort criteria Comfort criteria ) The outlet layout must comply with the maximum allowable indoor air velocities u in the occupied zone in the cooling mode. The indoor air velocity depends on the cooling load that is to be removed from the room. The maximum specific cooling capacity q depends on the discharge height and the maximum allowable indoor air velocity u (Graph ). Graph enables to determine for the cooling mode the maximum specific volume flow rate V Sp max in relation to the maximum specific cooling capacity and the maximum temperature difference DJ max. The volume flow rate supplied to the room V Sp tats may not exceed this value. Key for layout: V A = volume flow rate per air outlet in l/s V A max = max. volume flow rate per air outlet when cooling in l/s V A min = min. volume flow rate per air outlet when cooling in l/s V Sp max = max. specific volume flow rate per m in l/(s m ) V Sp tats = actual specific volume flow rate per m of floor area in l/(s m ) u = max. allowable indoor air velocity in m/s q = max. specific cooling capacity in W/m DJ max = max. temperature difference supply air to return air in K t min = minimum air outlet centre spacing in m H = discharge height in m L WA = sound power level in db(a) ref. - W Dp t = total pressure drop in Pa Graph enables to determine the minimum centre spacing between two outlets on the basis of the maximum specific volume flow rate.
