The process of distributing heated or cooled air throughout your home should be a seamless process. The right aircon diffuser will ensure optimum airflow performance.
via GIPHYEssentially, an air con diffuser directs and controls airflow in an air conditioner. Air conditioner diffusers are a critical component in a heating, ventilation or air conditioning unit. In ducted air conditioning, the diffuser delivers air to each zoned area.Air con diffusers can be purchased in a variety of shapes, including square, circular or rectangular. They can be constructed of plastic, aluminium, metal, stainless, timber or cast iron. Diffusers also come in a number of configurations, such as swirl diffusers and slot diffusers.
Yes. A linear slot diffuser is a superior, modern and flexible type of air con diffuser that features a long, narrow design. It can be used to direct air in multiple directions. This special shape makes it easy for builders to fit the air con diffuser into a tight space and helps to conceal the diffuser from view for a more aesthetically pleasing design.
The size of the aircon diffuser is the diameter of the neck to which the flexible duct is connected. The air con diffuser sizing is determined by:
Area Ceiling Height Diffuser size(dia.)Up to 12 sqm 2.4 – 2.7m 200mmUp to 12 sqm 3m 250mmUp to 20 sqm 2.4m – 2.7m 250mmUp to 20 sqm 3m 300mmOver 20 sqm multiple diffusersFor example, an average-sized bedroom is approximately 3 metres x 3 metres. For this size of room, we recommend a 200mm round diffuser.
Bedroom: Position the air con diffuser at the end of the bedStudy: Position the air conditioner diffuser in the centreEnsuite: Position the air con diffuser in the centre but away a source of steam, such as the showerThe ceiling is the most preferred place to install diffusers with a horizontal airflow.
A round air con diffuser will spread cool air approximately 3 metres. If the room is longer than 5 metres, we recommend using multiple diffusers, spaced up to 6 metres apart and up to 3 metres from the wall.Ducted air conditioning will feel softer when the air is coming from many directions. Therefore, 2 smaller diffusers will provide softer air conditioning than 1 large diffuser. For example, a living room 6 metres long x 4 metres wide with a 2.7 metres ceiling.Locate one 200 millimetre diffusers, 2 metres from the longer wall and 2 metres from the shorter wall. Locate a second 200 millimetre diffuser, 2 metres from the wall at the other end of the room.Practical considerations limiting the ideal location of aircon diffusers
