Tests show that sngle deflection supply grilles have approximately 5% more free area than the double def lection grilles.
These difference in the free area is considered insignificant
and will not affect the throw and drop characteristics of the
is
BLADE SETTING
Effective area is affected by blade deflection setting of the
grille. Hence, throw, drop, pressure loss and noise generated
by the grille will depend on the blade def lection setting.
Maximum throw values occur with vertical blades set to 0
degree def lection. The normal stream expansion in this case
is roughly 8-14 degree. As the def lection settings are
increased, throw values will shorten. This is due partlv to
the increased exposure of primary air to room air and the
resulting entrainment of larger quantities of room air:. This
dissipates the primary air more quickly. Adjustment of the
horizontal blades will have the same eflect on throw values.
Parallel adjustment of horizontal blades toward the ceiling
can cause a slight increase in throw subject to ceiling effect.
