Functional description

The air terminal unit is a mechanical self-powered unit and works without external power supply. A damper blade with low-friction bearings is adjusted by aerodynamic forces so that the set volume flow rate is kept constant within the differential pressure range. The aerodynamic forces of the airflow create a closing torque on the damper blade. An inflating bellows amplifies this force and at the same time acts as a damping element. The closing torque is countered by a leaf spring that unrolls over a cam plate. The cam plate is adapted in such a way that the damper blade moves when the differential pressure changes. As a result, the volume flow rate remains constant within narrow tolerances.

Efficient commissioning

Using the rotary knob, the desired volume flow setpoint can be set quickly on the external scale, no prior measurement required. The advantage over conventional flow adjustment dampers is that no repeated measurements or adjustments during commissioning are required. Should the system pressure change, e.g. by opening or closing of duct sections, the flow rates in the entire system will also change if flow adjustment dampers are used; however, this is not the case with mechanical self-powered air terminal units. The air terminal unit reacts immediately and keeps the set air volume constant.

Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the minimum differential pressures, the volume flow rate accuracy and the room sound pressure levels that can be expected. Intermediate values may be achieved by interpolation. Precise results and spectral data for all control components can be obtained by using our Easy Product Finder design programme. The nominal size is initially selected according to the given volume flow rates qvmin and qvmax.

Volume flow rate ranges and minimum differential pressure values

The minimum pressure difference of the air terminal units is an important variable for planning the air duct network and for dimensioning the fan, including speed control. It must be ensured that under all operating conditions a sufficient pressure difference (Δpst min) is present above the air terminal unit. The measurement point(s) for fan speed control must be selected accordingly.
