1) No straight entry flow required
Bend: LVC, TVE, TVR, TVZ, TVM, TVRK, TVLK
Fig. 11: Bend
A bend with a centre line curvature radius of at least
1D – without an additional straight duct section
upstream of the VAV terminal unit – has only a negli-
gible effect on the volume flow rate accuracy.
Junction: TVR, TVZ, TVM, TVRK
Fig. 12: Rounded junction from a main duct
A junction causes strong turbulence. The stated
volume flow rate accuracy can only be achieved with a
straight duct section of at least 5D upstream.
4.5.2 Rectangular ducting
ATTENTION:
Observe air direction arrows on VAV
terminal units during installation
Observe EN 1505 for fittings and bridges, in partic-
ular:
–
No sharp-edged bridges
–
At reductions and expansions: slants max. 7.5°
per leg
Secondary silencer TX can be installed directly
upstream/downstream of the volume flow controller,
non-active section to the volume flow controller,
For splitter sound attenuators MSA, XSA, RSA,
keep a distance of 4H in front of the VAV terminal
unit.
Connection of fire dampers (same nominal size):
–
In front of the VAV terminal unit: at a distance 4H
–
Behind the VAV terminal unit: without distance,
observe the movement range of the damper
blade.
