Linear slot air diffusers for ventilation – air supply and extraction

Linear slot air diffusers are elongated ventilation components featuring one or more narrow airflow slots. They are designed to distribute supply air within rooms or collect air for extraction, making them suitable for both supply and extract ventilation systems.

These products are also called slot diffusers, linear air diffusers or ceiling slot diffusers. Their elongated design provides linear air distribution and complements modern architectural and interior design solutions.

The el-vent.com range includes the aluminium PLD series, consisting of five models with one, two, three or four slots. The diffusers have individual airflow dampers in each slot and can be used for distributing warm or cold air.

PLD – aluminium linear slot air diffusers

PLD are aluminium linear air diffusers intended for mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems. Their surfaces have a white RAL9016 powder-coated finish.

A key feature of the PLD series is the ability to adjust airflow separately in each slot. This allows the diffuser operation to be adapted to the required air distribution, subject to the model's technical characteristics and the ventilation system design.

PLD diffusers are designed for both air supply and extraction and are suitable for warm and cold air.

Single-slot diffuser PLD1/495

PLD1/495 is a single-slot aluminium diffuser with a length of 490 mm and an H dimension of 44 mm. It is suitable where a single linear air distribution opening is required and the calculated airflow is compatible with the model's performance.

Two-slot diffusers PLD2/495 and PLD2/990

PLD2/495 and PLD2/990 are two-slot diffusers with lengths of 490 and 985 mm respectively, and an H dimension of 88 mm. Two separate slots offer additional possibilities for airflow distribution and adjustment compared with a single-slot design.

Three-slot diffuser PLD3/990

PLD3/990 is a three-slot aluminium diffuser with a length of 985 mm and an H dimension of 132 mm. It can be selected when a wider linear air distribution component is required.

Four-slot diffuser PLD4/990

PLD4/990 is a four-slot aluminium diffuser with a length of 985 mm and an H dimension of 176 mm. The additional slots offer greater air distribution flexibility, although suitability for the required airflow must be verified against technical data.

Advantages of PLD linear slot diffusers

  • Aluminium construction. A lightweight metal body suitable for various interior designs.
  • Linear appearance. Elongated airflow openings provide a clean geometric ceiling design.
  • One to four slots. Different models can be selected according to airflow distribution and installation requirements.
  • Individual adjustment. An airflow damper is provided in each slot.
  • Universal application. Suitable for both supply and extract ventilation.
  • Warm and cold air. Designed for distributing air at different supply temperatures.
  • White RAL9016 finish. The surface is powder-coated.
  • Different lengths. Models are available in 490 and 985 mm lengths.
  • Connection accessories. Compatible PLDD plenum boxes can be used for duct connections.

PLDD plenum boxes for linear slot diffusers

PLDD are air distribution boxes used to connect PLD slot diffusers to a duct system. The box forms the connection between a round duct and a linear diffuser.

The PLDD series includes different dimensions for corresponding diffuser lengths and slot configurations. Depending on the model, the round duct connection diameters are Ø125, Ø160 or Ø200 mm.

PLDD boxes can be supplied with additional acoustic insulation by special order. The box dimensions, configuration and insulation options must be checked for compatibility with the particular PLD diffuser and the ventilation design.

How to choose a linear slot air diffuser

1. Number of slots

The PLD range includes diffusers with one, two, three or four slots. More slots provide additional airflow openings, but the correct model must be chosen according to the design airflow and technical performance rather than slot count alone.

2. Diffuser length

Two actual lengths are available: 490 and 985 mm. Shorter diffusers may suit locations with limited installation space, while longer models are suitable where an extended linear air distribution opening is required.

3. Air supply or extraction

PLD diffusers are universal and can be used for both supply and extract air. Supply air applications require consideration of distribution patterns within the room, while extraction applications require appropriate extract airflow and pressure loss characteristics.

4. Airflow and aerodynamic characteristics

Selection requires knowledge of the design airflow (m³/h), permissible pressure loss (Pa) and acoustic requirements. The PLD technical documentation provides airflow, air throw distance, pressure loss and noise performance data.

Damper position can also influence aerodynamic resistance and airflow distribution. Diffuser dimensions and adjustments should therefore be coordinated with the ventilation system.

5. Plenum box and duct connection

Before installation, determine how the linear diffuser will connect to the ductwork. A suitable PLDD plenum box may be used. Verify diffuser length, slot count, box dimensions and round duct connection diameter.

6. Installation location and interior design

Linear slot diffusers are commonly used in ceiling installations where a long, clean air distribution line is desired. The design must allow sufficient space for the diffuser and plenum box, together with access for adjustment and maintenance.

Where are linear slot air diffusers used?

  • Houses and apartments – modern living rooms, bedrooms and other spaces with mechanical ventilation.
  • Offices and administrative premises – for linear ceiling air distribution.
  • Retail and service premises – where effective airflow and an attractive appearance are important.
  • Hotels and relaxation areas – according to the ventilation system's airflow and acoustic requirements.
  • Heat recovery ventilation systems – at supply and extract openings when the technical performance matches the project.
  • Other commercial interiors – wherever linear air distribution elements are specified.

Linear slot or conventional round air diffusers – which should you choose?

Linear slot diffusers feature an elongated design and distribute air through one or more narrow openings. They are often chosen for their linear ceiling appearance and specific airflow distribution characteristics.

Round air diffusers are commonly connected directly to round ducts and may provide a simpler solution where a linear opening is not required.

The final choice should be based on design airflow, pressure loss, noise, mounting construction and the desired air distribution pattern.

Frequently asked questions about linear slot air diffusers

Linear diffusers can be arranged alongside each other in a design, but the possibility of mechanically joining specific PLD models and finishing their joints must be checked against the construction details.

Do linear slot diffusers generate noise?

Noise depends on airflow, velocity, damper position and pressure loss. PLD technical documentation includes noise performance information.

How should aluminium slot diffusers be maintained?

Visible surfaces should be cleaned periodically using a soft cloth and products suitable for powder-coated surfaces. Damper maintenance should follow the manufacturer's instructions.
