TBD8: T-Bar Diffuser, Sloped Plenum

The TBD8: T-Bar Diffuser, Sloped Plenum, is a high-performance air distribution unit designed for commercial HVAC applications. Manufactured by Price Industries, this diffuser features a coated steel casing combined with an extruded aluminum center tee, typically with a minimum of two slots. It also includes adjustable pattern controllers that allow users to modify the airflow to suit specific room requirements. These controllers can provide a wide range of air patterns, ensuring a high level of thermal comfort. Additionally, the unit offers matching return diffusers to maintain a cohesive architectural appearance across the space.

One of the main features of the TBD8: T-Bar Diffuser is its ice-tong style pattern controllers, which allow for 180° air pattern adjustments. Whether set for vertical or horizontal airflow, these controllers can create an aerodynamic, ceiling-hugging air pattern, even at low airflow rates. The sloped plenum is another key design aspect, which allows for shorter horizontal throws and broader horizontal air distribution, making it ideal for smaller spaces where drafts could otherwise affect occupant comfort. This diffuser also offers various customization options such as different slot widths, insulation types, and fire-rated construction.

The TBD8: T-Bar Diffuser is commonly used in commercial and institutional building projects, especially in spaces that require a high degree of thermal comfort without compromising the architectural design. It is typically installed along the perimeter of a room within a standard ceiling grid system. With its ability to deliver multiple air patterns, it is suitable for a variety of applications, including offices, schools, and healthcare facilities where comfort and precise air distribution are critical. The sloped plenum design makes it particularly useful in small rooms or areas where reducing drafts in occupied zones is a priority.
