An air diffuser configured to be positioned in a raised floor, in which the air diffuser includes a sleeve having a first end and a second end with an air flow passage extending through the sleeve from the first end to the second end, a diffuser face disposed at the first end of the sleeve and configured to be exposed to an environment in an installed position within the raised floor, a damper disposed at the second end of the sleeve, and a plenum chamber defined within the sleeve between the damper and the diffuser face.
Claims20
An air diffuser, comprising:
- a sleeve comprising a first end, a second end, and an air flow passage extending through the sleeve from the first end to the second end;
- a diffuser face disposed at the first end of the sleeve;
- a damper disposed at the second end of the sleeve and comprising a plurality of damper sections adjustable to regulate an amount of air flow directed through the sleeve via an opening of the second end;
- a damper connector extending between the diffuser face and the damper, wherein rotation of the damper connector causes rotation of the plurality of damper sections relative to one another to adjust a size of the opening of the second end;
- and
- a plenum chamber defined within the sleeve between the damper and the diffuser face, wherein the air flow passage extends through the plenum chamber.
An air diffuser, comprising:
- a sleeve comprising a first end and a second end;
- a diffuser face coupled to the sleeve at the first end;
- a damper comprising tabs configured to impart a compressive force onto an outer surface of the second end of the sleeve to couple the damper to the sleeve at the second end;
- and
- a plenum chamber defined within the sleeve between the damper and the diffuser face.
An air diffuser, comprising:
- a sleeve comprising a first end and a second end;
- a diffuser face coupled to the sleeve at the first end;
- a damper coupled to the sleeve at the second end, wherein the damper comprises a plurality of damper sections that are rotatably adjustable relative to one another to adjust a position of the damper;
- and
- a damper connector coupled to the damper and to the diffuser face, wherein the damper connector is configured to enable adjustment of the position of the damper via rotation of the diffuser face.
