Quiet and Draught-free air diffusion from Krantz

The diversity of public spaces in the Te Awa retail mall meant a variety of customised solutions were required for the air diffusion design. Krantz Asia-Pacific, through its New Zealand agent Temperzone, advised on air diffusion principles that would provide sustainable solutions and enhanced comfort and supplied the products for installation.

The company says the high discharge heights in the foyers and foodcourt required motorised or thermally operated discharge direction adjustment to ensure effective heating and draught-free cooling. The cinemas also provided challenges, as the use of heat pumps to condition air to the cinema displacement system beneath the seats entailed lower-than-normal supply air temperatures. To avoid draughts, Krantz high induction step/floor swirl diffusers were chosen. Diffusers were also selected for their extra-quiet operation.

Other Krantz air diffusers include eyeball nozzles in the market court and foodcourt. In the foodcourt the nozzles automatically swivel downwards when supplying warm air, to ensure penetration of heat to floor level.

Other outlets include adjustable swirl diffusers in the cinema food emporium, which alter discharge direction for heat penetration. High induction adjustable linear diffusers beneath the atrium bulkheads and above the slatted ceiling supply air to the foodcourt.
