2021 - Radial Plug-flow Diffuser, type RPC-AD
Product Launch:
SMARTEMP is pleased to launch the Radial Plug-flow Diffuser, type RPC-AD, suitable for industrial displacement discharge from 4.5 to 8 m height. The discharge direction of the plug-flow air stream is adjustable from a radial pattern to a vertical airstream, providing both optimised cooling in which the low turbulence supply air spreads radially before gently falling downwards to floor level with minimal mixing, as well as effective heating to floor level by means of a strong downward airstream. Discharge direction adjustment is stepless, and may be manual, electric or by a self-powered thermal element in the supply air stream. DN400 and DN630 neck sizes are available, suitable for airflow rates from 450 to 1800 L/s. The diffusers are ideal for spot cooling/heating from large heights, as well as to purge contaminants from individual workspaces by displacing them from above with high quality supply air.

2020 - Helical Vari-Swirl®, type HSC-VS
Product Launch:
The SMARTEMP Helical Vari-Swirl®, type HSC-VS, is the industry's highest capacity electronic VAV swirl diffuser. Its patent pending variable geometry cyclone swirl damper provides low pressure operation, and increases discharge velocity when throttled to maintain throw even when turned down.
Unique features include:
- High capacity @ NC 30:
- DN355: 220 L/s @ 30 Pa static
- DN500: 330 L/s @ 30 Pa static
- 6 L/s minimum VAV airflow (pressure independent), equating to:
- DN355: turndown to 3% to 14% @ 30 Pa static, depending on airflow authority setting
- DN500: turndown to 2% to 10% @ 30 Pa static, depending on airflow authority setting
- Full airflow shut-off - cyclone and induction dampers fully seal (eliminates motorised duct shut-off dampers in multiple tenancy applications)
- Low operating pressure (10 Pa min)
- Low supply air temperature (≥7°C)
- Six reconfigurable airflow authority settings - active damper opening adjustable from 100% to 20% in successive steps of approx 30% (ideal for base-building to tenancy conversions, and for future-proofing designs)
- Powerful induction system for accurate on-board room air sensing of temperature, humidity and CO2 or VOC
- Connection box with:
- R1 thermal insulation
- Acoustic attenuation
- Interchangeable side-entry spigots
- Low profile options (200 mm minimum)
Further on-board sensors include: supply air temperature (cooling/heating change-over); supply air pressure (airflow measurements); PIR (to determine occupancy) and Bluetooth (for communication with remote sensors, commissioning, and set-point adjustment from a user’s personal device).
The stepper motor, zeroing micro-switch, PC board, Bluetooth antenna and all sensors are accessible from below for maintenance and upgrades – no ceiling void access required.
To achieve a common aesthetic within the building, the face of the Helical Vari-Swirl (HSC-VS) matches SMARTEMP's Fixed Helical Swirl (HSC-FD) and Adjustable Helical Swirl (HSC-AD) diffusers.
