① Nozzle (optional)

② EASYLAB control component

③ Casing

④ Actuator

⑤ Bluff body and sensor tubes


The VAV terminal unit is fitted with an effective pressure sensor with a bluff body or a nozzle for measuring the volume flow rate.

The control components (attachments) include an effective pressure transducer that transforms the effective pressure into an electric signal, a controller, and an actuator. The controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the control signal of the actuator if there is a difference between the two values.

Setpoint value default setting
Fume cupboard control

The volume flow rate setpoint depends on the control strategy for the fume cupboard:
  • Face velocity
  • Sash distance
  • Combination of face velocity and sash distance
  • Using switch contacts (2-point, 3-point)
  • Constant value

Volume flow control
  • The volume flow rate setpoint is specified by an external setpoint value setting

Nominal sizes250 mm
Volume flow rate range 30 – 515 l/s or 108 – 1854 m³ /h
Volume flow rate control range Approx. 15 to 100 % of the nominal volume flow rate
Minimum differential pressure5 – 130 Pa
Maximum differential pressure1000 Pa
Operating temperature10 – 50 °C


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.

The sound power levels for calculating the sound pressure levels were measured in the TROX laboratory according to DIN EN ISO 5135 - see "Basic information and nomenclature".

Precise results and spectral data for all control components can be calculated with our Easy Product Finder design program. The first selection criteria for the nominal size are the actual volume flow rates qvmin and qvmax.

Volume flow rate ranges and minimum differential pressure values
The minimum differential pressure of VAV terminal units is an important factor in designing the ductwork and in rating the fan including speed control. It must be ensured that for all operating conditions and for all terminal units a sufficient pressure differential is applied to each controller (Δpstat,min). The measurement points for fan speed control must be selected accordingly. The volume flow rates given for VAV terminal units depend on the nominal size and on the control component (attachment) that is installed.

Quick sizing table for sound pressure level

In the quick sizing tables, practical attenuation and insulation values (system attenuation) are included in the tables. If the sound pressure level exceeds the required level, a larger air terminal unit and/or a silencer is required.

    Upstream conditions

    The volume flow rate accuracy Δqᵥ applies to a straight upstream section of the duct. Bends, junctions or a narrowing or widening of the duct cause turbulence that may affect measurement. Duct connections, e.g. branches off the main duct, must comply with EN 1505.
