Halton Jaz JWC – Swirl diffuser

Overview

Halton Jaz JWC is a square diffuser that supplies air in a swirl pattern. It is suitable for suspended ceiling installation. It has been carefully designed and tested in the Halton Innovation Hub to ensure silent operation even with large airflows.

Application area

• Ventilation in offices, hospital rooms, schools, and public spaces.

Key features

• Swirl function with fixed blades
• Silent function also with large airflows
• Adjusting and measuring with balancing plenum Halton Pop PDI

Operating principle

Fig. 1. Operating principle of Halton Jaz JWC

Air is supplied into the space through tangentially oriented fixed blades, which leads to swirl function of the throw pattern. The function generates high induction rate, which reduces the supply air jet velocity effectively.

Specification

Square diffuser with swirl function for false ceiling installation, fulfilling the following requirements:

Structure

• Front panel openable and removable to allow general maintenance and cleaning
• Front panel removable without special tools
• Swirl air distribution
• Unit width 595 mm, height 70 mm
• Inlet duct diameter 160, 200, 250 or 315 mm

Materials

• Casing and front panel manufactured from steel
• Casing and front panel white, powder painted in RAL 9003, 30 % gloss
• Connection spigot manufactured from galvanized steel
• Connection spigot equipped with fixed gasket

Model with balancing plenum

• Diffuser to be connected with a galvanised steel plenum Halton Pop PDI
• Plenum has integrated gasket to ensure airtight duct connection
• Plenum has a removable adjustment module MSM for supply or MEM for exhaust.

Packaging and identification

• The product is protected by removable plastic coating.
• The product is packed in a cardboard box.
• The product is identified by labels attached both to the product and the cardboard box.

Installation

The diffuser is available in size 595×595 mm for direct installation to the modular T-bar ceiling (600×600) either above or below the list.

The diffuser is connected usually to balancing plenum Halton Pop PDI (Fig. 4). Alternatively, it can be connected direct to the duct by riveting or screwing. In that case, minimum safety distance to the next T-branch or curve is three times the duct diameter (3xØD).

Commissioning

Fig. 5. Adjustment of airflow of diffuser and plenum combination.

The diffuser itself has no airflow adjustment. To adjust and measure the supply airflow rate, the diffuser shall be combined with Halton Pop PDI balancing plenum with measurement and adjustment module MSM. In case of exhaust air, use of adjustment module MEM is recommended. It is not possible to measure exhaust airflow rate with adjustment module MEM.

Open the front plate and pass the tubes and control spindle through the front panel (Fig. 5). Replace the front panel. Measure the differential pressure with a manometer. The flow rate is calculated using the formula below:

where

• q_v           Airflow rate [l/s] or [m³/h]
• ∆p_m      Measured pressure [Pa]
• k            The k factor given as a function of mounting and diameter (see the table below)

Adjust the airflow rate by rotating the control spindle until the desired airflow rate (pressure difference) is achieved.

Set the tubes and spindle back into the plenum. Damper position can be locked with a knurled head screw of the adjuster.

Maintenance

Detach the front panel of the diffuser and let it balance on the hinges.

Wipe the diffuser casing and front panel with damp cloth.

Option with balancing plenum

Remove the measurement and adjustment module by gently pulling from the shaft; not from the control spindle or measurement tubes. Wipe the components with damp cloth instead of immersing in water. Wipe also the inner part of the plenum; detach the attenuation material if needed.

Reassemble the module by pushing the shaft until the unit meets the stopper.

After cleaning reattach the front panel.
