FLOW BAR DIFFUSER

DESCRIPTION
Rabie Extruded aluminum flow bar diffuser model is designed for use in ceiling application with
outstanding performance which allows higher performance than conventional linear diffusers. The
wide array of slot widths allow for more CFM per linear foot while minimizing noise and pressure
loss.

Rabie FBD can be used as Supply or Return with same construction and optional Dummy with
black blank sheet.

Rabie FBD has standard finish of high quality, hard baked electrostatic powder coating for long life
and easy cleaning. Standard color is white color RAL 9016, Other colors are available on request.

NOTES:
FLOW BAR DIFFUSER

- Performance Data is Based on standard air density and ISOTHERMAL condi ons.
- Flow rate is based on CFM per Linear Meter of Grille
- Noise Criteria: NC Level is based on room a enutaion of 10db ( sound power level Re: 10-12Wa s)
- Throw: Projec on distance in feet from diffuser discharge to where the air velocity has decreased
to specific terminal velocity (Vt). Shown data is for 50,100,150 Terminal velocity (fpm) respec vely
