Modern diffuser developments

Linear style air diffusers are extremely popular and appear in a variety of forms. In an increasingly style conscious age, and one of ever-increasing choices, a new design always seems fitting particularly when it embodies the latest design technology to both lower cost to customers whilst matching the unit to popular demand.
Modern diffuser developments
The result of over 12 months of research and development, Gilberts has now launched a new range of linear diffuser. Benefiting from the latest in engineering design, Gilberts MBD Series complements existing rectangular and linear models to provide a continuous louvred face style diffuser option.

Combining up to date styling and design technology to blend with modern architecture, the MBD maintains excellent air distribution characteristics. Providing a smooth, even horizontal air discharge, the diffuser is ideal for fan coil units as well as conventional ceiling diffuser applications. Suitable for ceiling mounting, the MBD is available in standard 100 to 400mm slot widths. With both 1 and 2 way discharge patterns available MBD can be supplied in linear runs to any required length. There are 3 standard border details available to enable the unit to match most popular ceiling designs with end flanges optionally available.

Manufactured entirely in the UK using aluminium extrusion the MBD is also complemented by a comprehensive range of purpose built plenum boxes. Plenum to diffuser connection is quickly and easily accomplished using concealed bracket fixings accessible through the diffuser face. For volume control, standard screwdriver operated opposed blade dampers can be fitted to the back of the diffuser or, alternatively, the plenum inlet can be fitted with Quadrant, or Iris type dampers. Where adjustment via the face is preferred, both Cord and Teleflex operated spigot dampers can be installed.

The MBD series has already been used on Dublin Airport where a total of 1459 units were installed using MBD 1 & 2 types, with a project value of £103,000.00 which included our Series LH, Series K and Motorised JN Series.

Gilberts (Blackpool) Ltd is one of the leading British air terminal device manufacturers, a multi-product company, also specialising in Natural Ventilation.

The new MBD brochure is now available direct from Gilberts Head Office or via Area Representatives.
