Modern Diffusers for Interior Design

In this study; the elements of the new generation ventilation systems areexplained with the general design principles of the HVAC systems.Nozzles and diffusers which are the last elements of HVAC systems areexplained with examples.Latest decades, air distribution elements havebecome the decorative elements in the interior. Air distributionelements are the last elements which complex air conditioning system.In addition to providing air and particle movement control and thermalcomfort in the interior, they are also extremely important technicalequipment when considering the space design. Thanks to developingdesign and manufacturing technologies, the latest ventilation equipmenthas become extremely flexible and has aesthetic appearance. Differentmodern diffusers are presented with a sample application project in thisstudy. The architectural structure considered as a case study is acomplex consisting of showroom, office, sales and service departmentsserving in the automotive sector. The planer glass facade coating systemis the determining element in architecture in general, while the interiorstainless steel details and mounting elements form the basic style of thesample building. In the building which is an intensive human and vehiclemovement, the glass facade provides maximum natural lighting andpassive heating at the same time. For the summer months, mechanicalventilation is preferred, and the Cr-Ni ventilation equipment that provides harmony with the steel structure is the most noticeable interiordetail. In this article, a wide interior analysis was carried out withinstallation plans and sample application visuals as well as mechanicalventilation details.
