A ‘first of its kind” air movement diffuser is set to revolutionise how comfort conditions are maintained inside commercial buildings.
The Series JSL-T ultra-high-capacity linear slot diffuser with thermal transition is the latest development from Gilberts Blackpool. It reinforces the company’s 60+ year track record of developing pioneering, innovative ventilation solutions.
Series JSL-T automatically adjusts airflow within seconds of any temperature variation being detected to maintain the preset ambient.
Clever design in the configuration of the plenum and diffuser, and utilisation of thermally reactive components, means Series JSL-T functions without any electrical input or auxiliary power.
In cooling/isothermal mode, air supply of up to 250l/s/m is delivered horizontally. When a variation in temperature is sensed, the diffuser automatically switches to project the air vertically. As Series JSL-T has an airthrow of 5m, this ensures rapid, effective mixing of air within the occupied zone, maintaining the ambient temperature without stratification nor draughts.
The diffuser is relevant for both ceiling and side wall applications. It can also be specified with acoustic and/or thermal insulation. The combination of features optimises its incorporation into almost any building services project in a commercial environment.
“Series JSL-T is a win:win,” observes Gilberts’ Sales Director Ian Rogers. “Its suitability for both ceiling and side wall applications and its ability to work without any electrical input simplifies the specification and installation of the building services. Its speed of reaction and maintenance of the internal temperature optimises occupant comfort which in turn improves people’s productivity, health, morale and enjoyment of the internal space.”
The thermal option compliments the core JSL high-capacity slot diffuser range, which- with its shadow-gap seamless appearance- itself was pioneering when introduced into the market.
Series JSL is just part of Gilberts’ extensive range of grilles, diffusers and louvres for natural and mechanical ventilation.
