I’m stretching the hell out of this analogy, but let’s go with it.
A ceiling opening is the nail, and just about all of you have settled on a plaque diffuser as your hammer.
And for good reason. A great performing product, fairly priced, plenty of competition.
But just take a second here to think about this.
You design your diffusers for max cooling cfm, yes?
No problem mixing that whole room up in cooling, yes? Here’s a video to represent your genius.
Now, heating mode. Let’s cut the air flow in half and give the air some buoyancy. 20F higher than the room temperature.
How’s it perform?
See for yourself in this smoke video. It will open your eyes!
Maybe it’s time to look at the other tools in the toolbox.
There’s a reason why people in your office have space heaters at their feet.
See you in class.
