Technical data

I.1
......... I. TECHNICAL DATA
ATC guide you in the choice and design of your aeraulics networks. The design of an aeraulics network requires
taking into account parameters which are independent from one another:
 Type of application / Objective of the air treatment
 Dimensions of the premises
 Position of the ducts in relation to people, machines
 Involved air
 Available static pressure
 Temperatures during the process (blown air, atmosphere)
Buildings’ aesthetic needs, as well as physical and chemical constraints in the environment play a major part in the
choice of materials:
 Diffusers’ shapes and colours
 Chemical constraints
 Mechanical constraints
 Architectural constraints
The complexity in calculating air systems is therefore variable from one case to the next. In order to meet your
expectations within the shortest deadlines, ATC have designed an information file outlining all of the data necessary
to determine a network (available at the end of this folder).

I.2
1.1 TYPES OF APPLICATIONS
Before the study of the different techniques and calculations relating to air treatment, it is important to establish
the field of activity, as the needs can vary significantly from one application to the next:

 Type of device: Roof top (air treatment unit on roof ), AHU, ducting, etc.
 Thermal treatment: reversible air conditioning, heating, chilling, etc.

I.3

air linked to release of pollutants, air renewal, constant and stable temperature, staff comfort
 Type of device: AHU
 Thermal treatments: cooling, heating, reversible air conditioning, etc

I.4
> Industry / Logistics

ATC offer products meeting perfectly the demands and constraints of industrial or logistics premises:
 Specificities / Constraints: staff comfort, preservation of industrial process, getting building to the right
temperature quickly, zoning…
 Types of devices: AHU, conditioners, evaporators, air coolers...
 Thermal treatment: air conditioning, heating, chilling, etc.
1.2 DIMENSIONS OF PREMISES
In order to ensure a perfectly uniform air distribution, it is indispensable to be fully aware of the premises’ dimensions
and constraints:
 Volume or area to be treated
 Length of diffusion
 Height of diffuser position in relation to ground
 Range needed to treat the area
 Position of main obstacles to diffusion (machines, gantries, beams, separation screens.
From these data, the necessary flow of air to treat the premises has to be determined in the first place.

I.5
1.3 DETERMINING THE FLOW
Determining the necessary flow of air to treat the premises can be done through at least three different methods:
> Through mixing rate:

In installations of simple ventilation, determining the flow can be done through choosing the mixing rate.
Mixing rate is given by the following equation:
Type of premises Mixing rate
Amphitheatre 8 to 10 vol./h Q
Γb =
Workshop 3 to 6 vol./h V
Paint cabin 20 to 50 vol./h
Laboratory 8 to 30 vol./h with
Swimming-pool 3 to 4 vol./h Q : air flow [m3/h]
Restaurant 5 to 10 vol./h
V : Volume of the premises [m3]
Table 1 : mixing rate for different applications Γb : Mixing rate
> Through fresh air renewal rate:

Renewing the air within premises is necessary for their occupiers’ hygiene and health. Regulatory flows are
set through legislation according to the premises’ nature, the number of people present on the premises and
their activity:
Designation of premises Minimum of fresh air per person (m3/h)

Offices, premises without physical work 25
Restaurant premises, retail premises, meeting premises 30
Workshops and premises with light physical work 45
Other workshop and premises 60
Table 2 : Minimum input flow of fresh air per person (Work legislation, Article R4222-6)

I.6
> Though air cooling (or heating) power implemented:

Knowing the sensible cooling capacity and the temperature difference (ΔT) between atmosphere and blown air, the
flow is determined through the following ratio:
Pf With:
Q=
c.ρ.ΔT c : Air thermal capacity [J/kg.K]
ρ : Air density [kg/m3]
ΔT : Delta Temperature [K]
Pf : Sensible cooling capacity [W]
1.4 TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
Knowing the temperature difference (ΔT) between atmosphere and blown air is crucial in determining the type of
diffusion:
 Chilling
 Cooling
 Ventilation, air renewal, fresh air input
 Reversible air conditioning
 Heating
The aim of diffusion is to combat or amplify natural convection phenomena:

 W
ithin the framework of cooling, the textile diffuser allows to amplify convection phenomena, whilst accurately
directing the air flow.
 W
ithin the framework of heating, the textile diffuser must combat natural convection in order to avoid
stratification.

Determining
the network’s
characteristics

II.1
......... II. DETERMINING THE NETWORK’S CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 TYPES OF AIR DIFFUSION
2.1.1 RADIANT
> Principle
In the case of textile diffusers AIRNÉO of RADIANT type, air discharge
is exclusively through porous material strips in judicious places and
dimensions in order to create the desired charge loss and let through
the desired air flow. This diffusion brings about optimum user comfort,
almost immediately next to the duct, thanks to low discharge speeds
around 0.2 to 1 m/s. Thus, the movements in the mass of discharged
air are mainly due to differences in temperature between the various
masses of air concerned.
> Conditions and limitation of use (characteristics)

Use in refrigeration, (Diagram 1), implies perfect knowledge of air blown
into the premises. In effect, a too great temperature gap (ΔT) implies:
 a weak diffusion range TS
 a concentration of cold air under the diffuser, thus creating a

phenomenon known as « cold shower »
 a n increase in the speed of the air jet as it comes down: cold air
comes down all the faster if its temperature is slow in relation to
the ambient temperature
 a condition of discomfort in the occupied area
 t he use of a greater number of textile diffusers in order to spread
the treated air correctly TA
 an increase in the installation’s cost
Figure 1 : diffusion de type RADIANT
It is advised not to use this for heating, unless the height of the ceiling is very low, combined with a recirculation
below or if the diffusers are implanted in a low position and provided the ΔT is low. If the temperature differential
is too high:
 hot air is difficult to direct towards the bottom, the diffusion energy being too low to overcome its inertia.
 the air comes back up quickly towards the top of the premises, thus creating a temperature stratification.
 heating of the occupied area is then more difficult to carry out. In reality, the ΔT used is between 1 and 5°C.

II.2
> Advantages
 Better air quality
Thanks to the porous character of the textiles used, the diffusion ducts of RADIANT type, besides their diffusion
function, give a particularly interesting terminal filtration.
This guarantees an effective protection for products and staff, when textile diffusers are used in environments
sensitive to hygiene such as the food and pharmaceuticals industries. The use of textile diffusers of RADIANT type
requires nevertheless an effective filtration upstream (filters G4, F7 …), which allows:
- to avoid clogging too quickly and therefore having to clean too often
- to limit the growth and proliferation of micro-organisms
- to maintain the original operation point (ratio flow /pressure) which guarantees the aeraulics result
 Better working conditions

When premises have low ceilings (from 2 to 4 m approx.), the duct allows to avoid any sensations of draughts
brought about by the blowing system (low residual speed).
 Better process conditions

Ideal when products require a perfectly homogeneous atmosphere and low residual speeds. For instance, in
rooms with need for dust control, metrological rooms, laboratories …
 Better hygiene
The AIRNÉO duct of RADIANT type is entirely washable (machine wash), ensuring perfect hygiene.
2.1.2 IMPULSION
> Principle
Air treatment for premises of average height (3 to 6 m) requires air diffusion with strong displacement energy
(low induction). To that effect, ATC designed textile diffusers of IMPULSION
type, which:
 a llow use of greater temperature gradients between ambient air and
blown air (ΔT) than ducts of RADIANT type
 a llow to emit primary blown air with a higher displacement energy
and a more important induction rate.

II.3
> Characteristics
IMPULSION type diffusers are mainly characterised by: TS
 average range (3 to 8 m)
 relatively low ventilation power
 s traight air vein in isothermal and curved line in anisothermal
(Diagram 2), with less sensitive incidence of temperature
compared to a RADIANT type diffusion
 if the air jet is directed in parallel to a smooth ceiling, a « Coanda
Effect » (Diagram 3) is obtained, thus lengthening the throw by a
factor of √2.
TA

TA
Diagram 3 : Coanda effect
> Advantages
 Operation in reversible air conditioning
When using mixed systems (heating /cooling) known as « reversible », IMPULSION type diffusers are appropriate.
In order to control and optimise diffusion, it is essential to know the admissible ΔT and residual air speeds in the
occupied area.
 Better hygiene
The AIRNÉO duct of IMULSION type is entirely washable (machine wash), ensuring perfect hygiene.

II.4
2.1.3 ENERGY
> Principle
Air treatment for premises with a height of up to 20m poses the problem of
temperature homogeneity and of residual air speed in the occupied area.
Air diffusion through traditional diffusion methods brings about:

 temperature gaps in the volume (strong stratification)
 high residual speeds in the occupied area
ATC have perfected textile diffusers of ENERGY type allowing to distribute
and diffuse large quantities of treated air for these large volume premises.
This diffusion is based on the jets in free fields theory associated to induction phenomena.
It guarantees:
 homogeneous temperature at any point in the premises
 air speeds in the occupied area conforming to comfort requirements for the staff working there
The air is released through orifices distributed on the duct’s surface in the areas where air distribution is needed.
> Characteristics
Air released at high speed through the orifice creates a considerable depression around the latter, dragging a large
quantity of ambient air. This mass of mixed air finds itself at a temperature very close to isothermal (Diagram 4).
with
Ambient air V0 = discharge velocity of the jet

Induction is a phenomenon which allows,

through blowing a reduced air flow, to create a movement in a much greater flow of Flow of primary air
Ti =
ambient air; induction is quantified by the rate of induction eg. Ti Flow of mixed air

II.5
For a given diameter, the rate of induction has a linear increase in relation to the distance to the duct.
According to the release speed (from 8 to 25 m/s), the distribution, number and diameter of orifices, we obtain:
 either an average induction and a very large throw
 or a strong induction with a very large mass of air set in motion and a weaker throw
Several diffusion models are available, allowing to guarantee an optimum aeraulics result in terms of induction.
1 hole model 7 auxiliary holes model 4 auxiliary holes model 8 auxiliary holes model
Diagram 5: Examples of diffusion models
According to the section, the perforations model is refined into a number of holes and reproduced regularly along
the duct. The jets generated by the auxiliary holes engender a strong induction and allow to improve it by up to
15 %. Within a few centimeters of the duct, the auxiliary jets fuse with the central air jet and improve the throw of
air further.
> Advantages
 More savings
The use of a greater ΔT when blowing allows to reduce the installation’s total flow as well as the diffusers’ diameter.
This allows a significant reduction in investment for the premises’ air treatment.
 Optimised investment costs

Using a high induction associated to high throws, allows to limit the number of diffusion antennas.
 Control of maintenance costs

The AIRNÉO duct of ENERGY type allows to reduce maintenance costs. Clogging is practically zero and the
number of cleaning stops for the system is therefore limited to the level of hygiene required by the user

II.6
2.1.4 HERMETIC
> Principle
The use of non-diffusing textile ducts or insulated ducts allows to carry
the air from one point to another. This solution can satisfactorily replace
traditional distribution networks made of galvanised steel.
The use of this type of textile duct is exclusively reserved to blowing
ducts with a positive pressure.
> Characteristics
 Design
All of AIRNÉO non-diffusing networks are made from a wide range of technical materials adapted to specific
conditions of use.
Assembling these materials is designed and carried out in such a way as to ensure optimum sealing of the ducts.
Connexion between different sections and elements is ensured by slide fasteners.
 Assembly
Simplicity of implementation as well as minimal support allow to solve problems often encountered with
traditional networks:
- Considerable loads on the structure of existing buildings
- Long installation times
- Support structure with poor or no aesthetics
- Means of handling and / or lifting relatively important (crane, forklift...)
> Advantages
 Simplified assembly
These ducts’ assembly systems allow to install a distribution network much faster than the traditional galvanised
steel duct.
 Quieter installation
Thanks to their design, AIRNÉO textile networks reduce transmission of sound vibrations produced by ventilation
units.
 Faultless hygiene
All components of our textile networks can be cleaned.

II.7
2.1.5 Choice of diffusion type

The choice of diffusion is determined according to several combined or isolated characteristics.
RADIANT IMPULSION ENERGY

Physical or geometric characteristics
Sound level low low low
Possible ΔT low medium medium to high
Height of premises <4m <8m up to 30 m
up to 4 m Up to 8 m Up to 30 m
Throw
very low limited High
Need for insulation no no no
Aeraulics characteristics
Condensation limited limited limited
Reversible system ill adapted adapted perfectly adapted
Ventilation de confort adapted adapted adapted
Textile ducts offer many advantages in relation to rigid ducts:

 Limited investment and reduced transport costs
 Low weight in suspension, limited number of intermediary supports
 Simple implementation and installation, limited installation time
 Easy to clean, better hygiene
 Wide choice of colours, screen printing

II.8
2.2 NETWORKS’ GEOMETRY
Whatever the diffusion type may be, ATC makes available 5 main types of textile ducts.
2.2.1 Circular ducts

Circular ducts are manufactured according to EUROVENT standard diameters. Different types of fastenings are available:
 Suspension by single galvanised or stainless steel cable.
 Suspension by double galvanised or stainless steel cable.
A
 Aluminium quick assembly mono rail Twist’n’FiX.
 Aluminium quick assembly double rail Twist’n’FiX.
 Mono strap + PVC profile
Circular ducts are mainly used when the height of ceilings allows it and when the whole volume of the premises to
be treated is not monopolised by the activity that takes place there.
Circular ducts offer a particularly attractive « price per linear meter for a given flow » ratio.
In order to meet certain constraints (geometry, dimension, congestion…), ATC are in a position to offer non-
standard ducts diameters. A
2.2.2 Semi-circular ducts A/2
Semi-circular ducts are mainly used when the use of the premises requires low dimensions.
The suspension system, as well as the duct’s shape, allow to save up to 40% space in terms of height, compared to a circular
duct, for an equivalent flow.
Semi-circular ducts installation requires a flat ceiling, with no obstacles (salient beam for instance). Fastening is then done
through PVC profiles or aluminium rails.
2.2.3 Quarter-circular ducts

A
Quarter-circular ducts are made-to-measure according to need:
 installation at wall/ceiling intersections in the event of an horizontal positioning, or else within A
walls’ angles in the event of a vertical positioning
 fastening by means of PVC profiles
 greatly-appreciated integration within the architectural environment of treated premises
2.2.4 Quarter ellipse

This particular design meets very specific requirements
2.2.5 Bow string or ½ ellipse
The 2 main reasons this type of shape is recommended are:

 Limiting crowding in terms of height
 Fastening on a fixed width (strips on false ceilings 600x600 mm for instance)

II.9
2.3 SUPPORTS AND ASSEMBLY PRINCIPLES
The choice of a suspension type

must be made according to various
criteria:
 Height of premises
 Aesthetic constraints
 Supply and installation costs
 Available position
 Possibilities offered by the building
 Congestion when ventilation stops
 Diffusers’ shapes and sections
In order to keep textile ducts in good order and avoid their alteration, they should be protected
during the building site’s active phase.
This does not exclude prior assembly of their support structure.
Congestion values stated below are given as an indication and can vary according to the textile which is used.
2.3.1 Types of suspension

> Suspension through cables
This device is reserved for circular diffusers. It is the most common and the most economical, both in terms of
supply and required installation time.
It is adapted to the widest range of constraints (fastening on wall or ceiling, change of direction and/or level...).
One must integrate, during the designing process, the position of anchorage points on which traction of around
250 kg may be exerted.
> Suspension through PVC or aluminium profiles

This device is essentially used for diffusers with a semi-circular section and quarter circle. It offers a continuous and
accurate guide, by means of semi-rigid straps used as a link. It also ensures the necessary constraint of respecting
the required shape.
The use of PVC or aluminium profiles implies assembly on smooth walls free from obstacles.
It is also possible to use rollers or travellers which ensure the link between the diffuser and the profiles.

II.10
> Suspension through rails (Alu Twist’n Fix)

This device is essentially used for hanging designs. For instance, in a building 80 m long and 10 m high, in the
middle of which we wish to place an 8 m long diffuser at a height of 4 m, it would be difficult to envisage stretching
cables over such a length.
It is therefore preferable to use rails hanging from the roof, in the area to be treated. The link between the rail and
the diffuser is ensured by means of trolleys, travellers or semi-rigid straps.
Suspension through rail allows diffusers to slide easily on a straight length, thus facilitating assembly and dismantling
operations.

> Assembly instructions for suspensions through rails
Roof
Suspension through a rail allows the textile ducts to slide easily on

a straight length, facilitating assembly and dismantling operations.
The rails are hanging from the roof in the areas to be treated.
Placing the rails is done by using as markers:
- the axis of the coupling ring
- the fastening axis of the rail
You need to allow a space of +/- 1m between the end of the rail and
any drop, in order to facilitate sliding for the trolleys and the duct.
The rail bars must be supported by threaded rods (not provided by

ATC) every 1500 mm.
Threaded A cramp must be placed in the middle of each bar as well as at the
fastener beginning and the end of supports.
Splice bars must be placed to ensure intermediary support as well as
the junction between 2 rail bars.
Rail + Trolley The link between the rail and the textile duct is made through
trolleys.

2.3.6 Usual Precautions

For each project, textile ducts and diffusers of the AIRNÉO range are the object of a specific study integrating the
specifics and constraints of the installation, as known at the beginning of the manufacturing process.
Respect for trade practice is necessary to guarantee good durability for our products.
> During implementation
 T extile ducts and diffusers must be installed last during work on the premises. Where possible, place them only
after all trades have intervened on the site.
 Take care to unpack and install AIRNÉO products in a clean location.
 T ake particular care that no flame, incandescent item (welding) or other hot element should be in contact with
the ducts and textile diffusers.
 A
void any contact with rotating and/or moving elements. Particularly watch out for lifting equipment,
gantries …

II.22
2.3.7 Commissioning
 C
heck that no element is in contact with the textile ducts and diffusers (struts, supports, walls, beams, cable
racks, pipes, etc.). If the environment does not allow to modify these constraints, contact your ATC representative
in order to consider a local protection.
 C
heck, during inflation, that the ties are not subject to excessive constraints (tie place on the wrong side of an
intermediary support for instance).
 C
heck blowing temperatures, , static pressure at entry into the duct, and control conformity in relation to the
values noted and transmitted to ATC for the study.
 Verify good stability of the network and that the duct does not generate knocking or floating.
In order to protect the product from a hammering effect, it is recommended, beyond 15 000 m3/h, to bring pressure
gradually into the textile ducts and diffusers. As soon as the flow is above 20 000 m3/h, this recommendation
becomes compulsory.
For our product AIRNÉO Gold, a gradual start is compulsory.
Several gradual starting system can be implemented:

 2-speed motor with phased start at low speed
 Electronic starters
 Frequency converters
 M
otorised damper with limit switch actuator, so that the fan starts with the damper shut. In this case, the
damper’s opening must be as slow as possible (150 to 180 sec)
2.3.8 During the 1st month in service
 R
egularly check the state of cleanliness or clogging of the installed products in order to determine cleaning
cycles and to guarantee the installation’s optimum performance.
 C
heck the clogging rate in the air homogenisation cones situated a t the network’s start and/or after bends
and connections.
As soon as a potential tear or any deterioration appears, it is highly recommended to send the affected station back
to our workshop for repairs in order to avoid further alteration to your network.

III.1
......... III. CALCULATION OF AERAULICS NETWORK BY ATC
To fight against stratification and promote homogenisation of atmospheres, determination of a textile diffuser
requires taking into account a number of parameters, amongst which:
 Total diffused
 Diffuser’s diameter
 Static pressure available at diffuser’s entrance
 Diffusing length
 Height of diffuser’s implantation in relation to ground
 Range needed to treat the area
 Ambient and blown air temperatures
 Objective of air treatment

3.1.2 Losses of charge

Calculation of losses of charge for a textile ducts network differs very little from that for a classic rigid network.
When designing a textile ducts network, it is very important to take into account all of the following precautions:
 Reduce frontal speeds in order to limit losses of charge
 Balance frontal speeds within the same network
 Privilege straight ducts for installations with low static pressure
 Avoid as much as possible elbows and/or connections with acute angles
 Design symmetrical networks
Static pressure is given according to frontal speed in Diagram n°20. To ensure stability and balance for the aeraulics
network, static pressure must at least be 2.5.

III.4
3.1.3 Speed limitations
When manufacturing complex aeraulics networks, we need to take into account speed limitations, in order to
remedy problems of:
 Sound levels
 Knocking of ducts
 Alteration to ducts
On diagrams 22 and 23, red areas correspond to air speed profiles in the ducts. Dotted areas correspond to possible
knocking and shape alteration with the static pressures currently available.
> On circular networks (Vmax = Max. speed)
Diagram 22: Speed limitation in special sections of circular networks, Max.Speed = 7 m/s
> On semi-circular networks
Diagram 23: Speed limitation in special sections of semi-circular, quarter-circular and elliptical networks, Max.Speed = 4 m/s.

III.5
3.2 ACOUSTICS
In some applications, acoustics is a crucial criterion of quality for aeraulics networks.

(Cf. Table 4). In practice, in working areas, ventilation must not cause discomfort as a result of, for example,
speed, temperature, dampness of air and regenerated noise.

Regenerated noise is essentially created by:

 air speed (duct’s diameter)
 turbulence due to network’s special sections (elbows, connections…).

III.6
Attenuation of regenerated noise in the textile network is linked to:

 air expansion (attenuation of low frequencies)
 reverberation (in the presence of special sections, part of the sound wave is reflected upstream)
 absorption (very good absorbant in medium and high frequencies)
 transmission through walls
Thus, sound level is expressed according to flow and pressure and integrates different attenuation and noise
regeneration parameters.

3.3 DIGITAL SIMULATION
For specific applications, or on request from the client, ATC can provide a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) digital
calculation service. This offer is designed and developed for consultants as well as refrigeration and air conditioning
installers in order to create a model of the result in its context and illustrate, for end users, the evolution of air speeds
and temperatures in their environment.
The behaviour of air flows linked to conditioning processes can have significant repercussions on:
 air quality and thermal comfort (industry, services, event organising)
 products quality (food industry ...)
 respect of energy performance
 effectiveness of installation’s operation
Digital simulation in fluids mechanics constitutes:

 a precious tool for assisting aeraulic and thermal design of air treatment installations
 a n effective means of validation, ahead of the project, of the relevance and accuracy of the proposed aeraulic
solutions.
 true added value to the securisation of air treatment and conditioning processes.
On the basis of simplified hypotheses, digital simulation allows to:

 visualise mapping of air speeds
 highlight areas of over- or under- ventilation.
 anticipate heat transfers.
 offer the most optimised technical solution
> Check-list for a good diagnosis

For a good diagnosis of your needs and constraints, here are the necessary data for digital simulation:
 premises drawings (with ducts position, storage racks, machines…)
 position and dimensions of air recycling (as well as flow sucked in by each outlet)
 thermal audit (input and losses)
 blowing and atmospheric temperatures wished for
 flow/ static pressure for each textile duct
 objective of air treatment (state the application)

V.1
......... V. UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE
5.1 SERVICE PACKS
The important thing is to carry out cleaning of textile ducts and diffusers before dirt and / or clogging can be
observed and thereby to ensure their hygiene, quality and maintain their efficiency.
Regular upkeep of your textile air diffusion units conditions the retention of your installations’ aeraulics and climatic
performance. This allows to:
 obtain savings
 increase your ducts’ lifespan
 optimise the quality and hygiene of your manufactured products and of the blown air
We recommend washing and checking the ducts twice a year as a minimum, or more, depending on applications
and environment in which hygiene and ease of cleaning are crucial.
ATC support you in the upkeep of all types of ducts, from any origins and thereby guarantee your aeraulics networks’
performance, and offers you 3 service packs:
5.1.1 PREMIUM PACK
The PREMIUM PACK includes:
> CLEANING:
 diffusers of whatever brand and different types of textiles (polyester, polyamide, cotton, washable PVC …)
 bespoke processes (disinfection, bleaching, washing…), without contact with ducts from other origins.
No cleaning for textile in M0 fire resistance classification
> TECHNICAL CONTROL:

 c heck of diffusers’ general condition, inspection of seams, ties, snaps, slide fasteners, diffusing and watertight
parts …
 identification and assessment of signs of wear and tear
> REPAIRS:
 carrying out repairs
 writing an intervention report for each diffuser
 folding and packing in individual pouch with visible marking
 conditioning in carton packaging

V.2
5.1.2 EVOLUTION PACK

This pack is suitable for remodelling the installation. This service includes:
 cleaning, technical control and repairs for the diffusers (optional according to the ducts’ condition on arrival)
 p
ersonalised study carried out in order to validate the modification’s feasibility and guarantee the aeraulic
result.
 m
odification of any brand of network. Any modification must be preceded by cleaning carried out by either
your services or ours
 if ATC duct, update of original dossier in view of future replacement.
5.1.3 TEMPO PACK
This pack is recommended for process applications which operate on a continuous basis, without any down time.
It also allows to carry out the renewal of existing aeraulics networks and includes 3 modules:
> TEMPO PACK: ATC spares kit

 rebuilding of the original network and taking into account the history of modifications carried out by ATC
> TEMPO PACK +: modified ATC spares kit

 regrouping the original dossier with the client’s new data
 study of dossier in order to validate the aeraulics network’s feasibility
> TEMPO EXPERT PACK: other makes’ spares kit

 m
anufacturing based on technical information (drawings, flow, pressure…) or on a set of textile ducts from
other makes, sent in advance to our workshops to carry out evaluation of ratings.
 study to guarantee the aeraulics result.

V.3
5.1.4 Bacteriological analysis
In relation with the SERVICE PACKS, ATC also offers as an option bacteriological controls with the objective of
validating the textile ducts’ cleaning and disinfection.
The bacteriological control service is based on counting cultivable micro-organisms (Colony-forming Unit, or CFU).
Samples, taken before washing and after drying, allow to determine:
 number of mesophilic aerobic flora at 30°C.
 number of yeasts and moulds.
Textile elements that can be subject to such sampling are as follows:

 collars, cones, bottoms and moulding forms
 ducts’ watertight parts
 ducts’ diffusing parts
According to the results obtained, ATC will recommend an appropriate frequency for cleaning. As an indication,
according to the ASPEC (2004) guide, surface microbiological thresholds in aeraulics networks are:
 Threshold for triggering disinfection : 50 CFU/ 25 cm2
 Threshold for validation of disinfection : 10 CFU /25 cm2
Following your textile ducts’ washing, ATC will send you a synthesis of bacteriological analyses results
(see example below).

Each analysis result is compared to quality thresholds for microbiological criteria:

 between 0 and 2 CFU /25 cm2 : Very good
 between 3 and 9 CFU /25 cm2 : Good
 between 10 and 29 CFU /25 cm2 : Doubtful (potential source of contamination)
 between 30 and 90 CFU /25 cm2 : Bad (source of contamination)
 > 90 CFU /25 cm2 : Very bad (proven source of contamination)
All bacteriological analyses are carried out by accredited laboratories which guarantee their results’ reliability (non-
contractual analysis reports)

V.4
5.2 UPKEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR AIRNÉO RANGE
All textile ducts and diffusers in the AIRNÉO range are made to last. To that end, ATC have designed and developed a
range of products with technical materials developed to keep their initial properties even after numerous cleans.
All AIRNÉO textile ducts and diffusers are entirely machine-washable (except AIRNÉO Gold textile ducts).
WARNING: NO PRODUCT IS COMPATIBLE WITH A HIGH PRESSURE AND/OR STEAM WASH
Table N° 19 indicates cleaning frequency to be applied in relation to general application type of the networks:
Type of premises Filtration class New air Number of annual

proportion washes
Cheese makers (maturing room) EU 9 10 % 10 to 20
Cheese makers (storage room) EU 9 10 % 5 to 10
Meat treatment EU 9 10 % 4 to 8
Retaining ducts’ whiteness 3 to 5
Offices (Air conditioning for comfort) EU 7 1 to 4
Storage of packed products EU 7 1 to 4
White room EU 12 - 14 0 to 1
Table 19 : frequency of washes in relation to the type of application
This information is given as an indication. The frequency of cleaning can be reconsidered according to various factors
with, among others, the amount of dust contained in the ambient air, the dust granulometry, the type of application,
the type of textile used, the quality of upstream filtration ...
This table indicates cleaning frequencies for textile diffusers of RADIANT type.
For IMPULSION type of diffusers, the number of washes can be lessened. In fact, clogging in the latter being more
difficult, the number of cleans can be reduced by 15 to 50%.
ENERGY type diffusers, due to their diffusion mode (perforations), are less prone to clogging and can therefore be the
object of lower cleaning frequencies. Maintenance can prove necessary only in the framework of general premises
hygiene.
ATC supply cleaning instructions indicating all of the procedures to be followed for each delivered duct or diffuser.

Loading ratio:
This is the ratio between the quantity of washing (kg) that the machine can wash and the capacity of the latter’s in
litres. Note, this is not equivalent to the machine’s capacity in weight; as a rule, the loading ratio is 1/18.
Soaking ratio:
This is the ration between the number of kg of material washed and the number of litres of water effectively contained
in the machine.
 Average level: 1/5
 High level: 1/7
Example: for a machine with a theoretical capacity of 16 kg, operating with 80l of water in pre-wash and 60l in wash,
you can wash 80/5 or 60/5 kg of material, ie. either 16 or12 kg of material.

referably drying in open air or in industrial dryer, but only if dryer is equipped with a thermostat allowing to
limit blown air temperature to 45°C maximum.
 T ime in an industrial dryer should be 20 minutes maximum. Check on the ducts’ state every 5 minutes in order
to avoid any overheating of the product.
 Never store wet ducts (risk of mould developing).
Absolutely no ironing.
Note: White textile polyester ducts have a natural tendency to turn grey. The washing machine’s mechanical
and chemical action does not always allow them to recover their original colour.
This in no way alters the duct’s diffusing function.
Indeed, dust gets ingrained into the textile fibre and cannot be removed solely through the washing machine’s
action. You can add a bleaching agent if you wish to have an extra treatment (see previous page).
Some colours can alter over time. Only regular cleaning of the duct will allow the colour to endure over time.

It is possible to use products from other makes, of compatible types and with appropriate and tested dosage.
Precautions:
 Do not mix washing products before placing in the machine.
 Do not place whitening agent « OTTALIN OXY » directly on textiles.

5.2.4 Maintenance instructions for AIRNÉO Gold textile ducts
No cleaning in machine
M0 textile ducts are not machine-washed.

Their upkeep is reduced thanks to their dirt-proof internal and external coating.
Be careful never to step on the diffuser or to fold it too brutally.

Glass, the principal component, can break if folded at an acute angle.
Cleaning of diffusing area

If diffusion is of energy type (orifices) only the rim of diffusion is dirty, see external cleaning.
External cleaning
It is carried out with a wet sponge.
Use of an ordinary detergent (of washing-up liquid type) is possible.
Internal cleaning
It is carried out in the same way as external cleaning but, beforehand, turn the diffuser over.
If it is very dirty, a gentle jet wash can be carried out (DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE OR STEAM CLEANERS).
When being cleaned, the diffuser must be placed on a smooth and clean surface in order to avoid dirtying it.
We recommend manual cleaning once every 2 to 3 years, according to the type of application and filtration
class chosen upstream.
To limit Fireguard M0 textile ducts getting dirty, we advise type F7 filtration.
WARNING – Disregarding maintenance procedures recommended by ATC brings about cancellation of

the guarantee.

type of diffusion, materials...) linked to your constraints (space available, obstacles, speed or air constraints ...).
In order to give you an accurate and coherent answer that meets your expectations, we need a certain number of
technical data.
We have created for you an information form regrouping all of the important parameters. This form will, in the event
of complex networks
need to be accompanied with diagrams or drawings including the following elements:
 network’s geometry (isometric view or view from above and cross-section view)
 distribution of flows carried and diffused per antenna
 types of sections envisaged (circular, semi-circular, quarter circle...)
 c omplete implantation rating for the network (distance from premises edge to axis, centre to centre distance
for ducts ...).
An isometric cross-ruled sheet is available for the mapping-out of networks. (page VI.4 ISO SKETCHES)

Octave bands and Overall Level
Sensation to the ear according to frequency is not linear. Frequency values are normalised to express this sensation:
31,5 / 63 / 125 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000
Overall level corresponds to the weighted sum of all octave bands.
CFD “Computational Fluid Dynamics”
CFD is a set of digital methods that allow to reach an approximate solution to a problem of fluid dynamics and/or of
thermal transfer. Fluid mechanics are governed by equations with partial derivatives (Navier-Stockes) coupled and
non-linear, the resolution of which is difficult through analysis. Through discretization methods (finite elements),
digital resolution of equations is then obtained at each knot until calculations converge.
Deflection
This is the vertical distance between the height of the air jet’s exit point and a point on the jet’s axis for a given speed.
Generally, a residual speed of 0.2 to 0.5 m/s is assumed, depending on the desired comfort level in the occupied
area. An anisothermal jet blown horizontally is subject to an upward deflection if it is warmer than ambient air or
downward if it is cooler.
Diffusion
A phenomenon in which the different fluids in contact with each other mix in such a way as to reach a uniform
state. A phenomenon of air distribution in a given space, through blowing outlets or diffusing bands, oriented
according to need.
Diffuser
Element the purpose of which is distributing a fluid in a given flow according to established criteria.
Light irradiance
Quotient of luminous flux by a surface
Luminous flux
Quantity of light emitted by one source (unit: Lumen [lm])
NR Index (Noise Rating ration), or ISO
It is a mode of characterisation for a standard acoustic comfort defined for each octave band.

VII. 2
......... VII. LEXICON
Induction
A phenomenon which allows to set in motion a flow of air n times greater than its own flow, through blowing in a
reduced air flow.
Lux
Unit of measurement for light irradiance
Lumen
Unit of measurement for luminous flux
Dynamic pressure
It is the fluid’s kinetic energy. It is therefore directly linked to its flow velocity. It is expressed as follows:
P dyn = 1/2.ρ.v²
with:
ρ [kg/m3] air density
v [m/s] flow velocity
Pdyn [Pa] dynamic pressure
Static pressure
It is the pressure inside a fluid (at rest or in motion). In practice, when the static pressure of a fluid in motion is
measured, this measurement is carried out perpendicular to speed.
Range
Horizontal distance covered by an air jet ejected from a diffuser. This distance is measured from the diffuser to the
point where the jet reaches terminal speed. This speed, called « residual speed », depends on the air treatment
objective.
Acoustic power Lw et acoustic pressure Lp

A sound source radiates acoustic energy that is its acoustic power. That source generates an acoustic pressure field
according to its power and to the reverberation characteristics of the environment in which it is situated.
Resurgence in static pressure

Transformation of dynamic pressure into static pressure in the diffusing duct allowing homogeneous diffusion.
