ThrowThrows shown in thecatalogue are based onhorizontal discharge of cooledair with full attachment of thejet to a flat ceiling closeenough above the grilleposition to enable thiscondition to occur. For mostcases for ceiling effect thegrille would be positioned nomore than 300mm below theceiling.
The catalogue gives figuresfor throw at 0° and 40° bladedeflection being the full rangeof throw available. It is goodpractice to select for therequired throw at the midpoint of the range. in theexample on SD/DDnomogram the selection isideal for an available throw of6.5m.
Throws given are thehorizontal distance to aterminal velocity of 0.25m/s.
DropThe effect of drop with ceilingeffect and ceiling heights of2.6 – 500 litres per secondper outlet if correctly selectedshould not cause problemsup to a cooling temperaturedifferential of 10 °C.
Free Space SupplyIn free space horizontaldischarge applications thedirection of the air will bedependant on the relativetemperature of the primary airto ambient. This can causeunsatisfactory conditioning ofoccupied zone and in somecases vertical discharge downor up walls is a more suitableapproach. (Please refer to thechart showing the effect oftemperature and surface tovertical discharge – fig 1).
Throw is reduced in freespace where there is noceiling effect or other surfaceproximity and reduction forisothermal conditions is 30%
from the figures given on thenomogram.
For primary air above orbelow ambient the throwmeasured horizontally iseffected by the mass andtemperature – fig 3 illustratestypical centre of jet airpatterns at the same massand different temperatures.
SpreadThe spread of air at differentblade angles is given in fig 2.Spread can be used toestablish fixing centres formultiple outlets. It should beconsidered that if spread isrestricted by impingement ofadjacent air streams orobstructions the effectivespread will be reduced andthe length of throwproportionately increased.
Aspect RatioFrom all the points above it isclear that throw is a complexderived value and anotherfactor which has an effect isthe aspect ratio or proportionof the largest nominaldimension to the smallest.
Nomogram figures can betaken for aspect ratios from1:1 to 2:1 but if the aspectratio is greater then thefollowing factors can beapplied.3:1 Reduce throw by 5%4:1 Reduce throw by 8%5:1 Reduce throw by 12%
Pressure LossThe total pressure lossesgiven are for grilles anddampers fitted with thedamper fully open and bladesat 0°. For blades at 40° add50% to pressure values givenalthough a 10% reduction ofthe value can be taken forgrilles without dampers.

Performance Notes
Throw values are based on grilles or registers mounted in the sidewall not more than one metre below an unrestricted ceiling. For grilleslocated more than one metre below the ceiling, throw values should be reduced by approximately 25%.
Throw values are based on 10 °C cooling applications. For Isothermal throws multiply by 1.25.
Terminal Velocities are based on 0.25 m/s.
Each NR value represents the noise rating curve which will not be exceeded by the sound pressure in any of the octave bands, 125 Hzthrough to 4k Hz. Each NR value is based on a room absorption of 10 dB, re 10 watts. Each NR value is further based on registeroperating at a 0 degree deflection. Settings of 22.5 or 45 degree, increase the stated sound levels by 1 or 7 NR, respectively. A dash (-)in space indicates an NR value less than 10.
The NR level shown included for a grille with fully open obd fitted, a 2 dB reduction can be applied for grilles without an obd fitted. Theeffect of partly closing an obd for balancing purposes will significantly add to generated noise.
The pressure loss shown is for a grille with fully open obd fitted and the blades set for 0 degrees. For blades at 40 degrees a 50%addition should be applied. For grilles without an obd fitted a 10% reduction to the value shown can be applied.

2. Establish required maximum noise andpressure values – refer to the appropriatenomogram.
3. With a straight edge line across fromthe litres per second value throughvalues within the maximum parametersestablished to the pivot line.
4. Retaining the position of intersection atthe pivot line, pivot the straight edge untilit meets acceptable values of size to itsleft and right.
Note:The pivot line represents an area and bymaintaining position on this line widthsand heights can be selected of equalarea. See note regarding effect of aspectratio on throw for supply applications.
Please refer to additional note in SD/DDsection with regard to air jetcharacteristics under various conditions.
Pressure LossThe total pressure losses given are forgrilles and dampers fitted with thedamper fully open. A 10% reduction ofthe value can be taken for grilles withoutdampers.
Sound LevelsWherever possible we give NR powerlevels generated by the product. Thisenables the allowances for roomcharacteristics, surface mounting andmultiple outlets from the sound adviceleaflet to be taken into account and moreaccurately predict the sound pressuremeasured in the occupied space.
The NR power level given for EC seriesgrilles includes for a fully open damper, forgrilles without dampers 2dB can besubtracted, however, the effect of partlyclosing the damper for balancingpurposes can add significantly togenerated noise.

5. Retaining the position of intersection at the pivot line,pivot the straight edge until it meets acceptable values of size to its left and right.
Note:The pivot line represents an areaand by maintaining position onthis line, widths and heights canbe selected of equal area. Seenote regarding effect of aspectratio on throw for supplyapplications.
Free Space SupplyIn free space horizontaldischarge applications, thedirection of the air will bedependant on the relativetemperature of the primary air toambient. This can causeunsatisfactory conditioning ofthe occupied zone and in somecases vertical discharge down orup walls is a more suitableapproach. (Please refer to thechart showing the effect oftemperature and surface tovertical discharge. Fig.1).
Throw is reduced in free spacewhere there is no ceiling effect orother surface proximity and thereduction for isothermalconditions is 30% from thefigures given on the nomogram.
For primary air above or belowambient the throw measuredhorizontally is affected by themass and temperature. Fig. 2illustrates typical centre of jet airpatterns, at the same mass anddifferent temperatures.
Aspect RatioFrom the points above it is clearthat throw is a complex derivedvalue and another factor whichhas an effect is the aspect ratioor proportion of the largestnominal dimension to thesmallest.
Nomogram figures can be takenfor aspect ratios from 1:1 to 2:1but if the aspect ratio is greater,then the following factors can beapplied:
3:1 Reduce throw by 5%4:1 Reduce throw by 8%5:1 Reduce throw by 12%
Fig. 1
Vertically discharging airstreams areaffected by temperature and theresulting density difference betweenthe discharging air and ambient air.Throw is also affected by theproximity of surfaces. Use the graphopposite to provide a correctionfactor to apply to catalogue throws.
Note: The relative temperature values are based on downward discharge - for upward discharge reverse the heating and cooling effect.

Pressure LossThe total pressure lossesgiven are for grilles withdampers fitted with thedampers fully open. A 10%reduction of the value can betaken for grilles withoutdampers.
Sound LevelsWherever possible we give NRpower levels generated by theproduct. This enables theallowances for roomcharacteristics, surfacemounting and multiple outletsfrom the sound advice leafletto be taken into account andmore accurately predict thesound pressure measured inthe occupied space.
The NR power level givenincludes for a fully opendamper. For grilles withoutdampers 2dB can besubtracted. However, theeffect of partly closing thedamper for balancingpurposes can add significantlyto generated noise.
Free Area Factors:GNO = 0.85GWO = 0.70Based on 300 x 300 nominal size, the figures above mayvary by 5% dependent on grille size.
