INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Return grilles G1S can be installed with the following ways :
-
Visible installation with screws
For easy, quick and secure installation. The number of screws required depends on the size of the grille. Bigger grilles require greater number of screws. In case the grille is extremely big, it can be fragmented according to specifications. For all G1S types. -
Concealed installation with springs
For situations that require an aesthetically better result. Laminas with special cavities, are placed inside the opening where the grille is to be installed, while springs are placed on the grille’s frame. The support of the grille is achieved when the springs are secured inside the special cavities of the laminas. This installation method is suitable only for wall installation and not for ceiling installation, for security reasons. Not used for accessible return grilles G1S.A. -
Concealed installation with Π-shaped subframe
For situations that require both an aesthetically better result and a secure installation. A Π-shaped frame is mounted in the hole in which the grille is to be installed and supported by visible screws. The grille is secured on the frame with internal screw located at the back of the grille. This screw is accessible by screwdriver through the front face of the grille. Not used for accessible return grilles G1S.A. -
Concealed installation with internal screws at the side of the grille
For accessible return grilles G1S.A that require both an aesthetically better result and a secure installation. The grille is secured in the hole with internal screws placed in both sides of the grilles. The screws are accessible through the accessible face of the grille.

G1S – SIZE SELECTION
The selection of return grilles G1S & G1S.A will be made using the following
diagrams and in accordance with the guideline CR 1752:1998 (Ventilation for
buildings – Design criteria for the indoor environment).
The technical specifications for return grilles G1S and G1S.A are the
following :
Selection example 1 :
Which are the dimensions of a G1S grille if the air flow is 1.800 m3/h and the
installation is in an office building?
The G1S grille will be installed in an office. From the guideline CR 1752:1998
(types of spaces & permissible sound pressure levels) we establish that the
maximum permissible noise level must be 30 dB(A). Therefore a produced noise
level of 25 dB(A) is acceptable and from diagram 1.3, for air flow of 1.800
m3/h, we determine that the surface factor Af is 22,1. If one dimension, for
construction reasons, is 450 mm then from the surface factor Af selection
table we have that for grille height equal to 450 mm the grille width must be
650 mm. The maximum air velocity inside the grille 650 x 450, is estimated
from diagram 1.1 and it’s equal to 2,9 m/s, while from diagram 1.2 we
calculate that the pressure drop is 8,6 Pa.
Selection example 2 :
Which is the pressure drop and the produced noise level in a G1S grille 850 x
550 mm, if the airflow is 2.700 m3/h?
From the surface factor Af selection table we establish that according to the
grille’s dimensions the surface factor Af is equal to 35,7. From diagrams 1.1,
1.2 and 1.3, for air flow of 2.700 m3/h and surface factor Af of 35,7 we
estimate that the maximum air velocity inside the louvre is 2,7 m/s, the
pressure drop is 7 Pa and the produced noise level is 23,4 dB(A).
The diagrams are an approximate selection method for G1S grilles. For more precise calculation, please use the AIRTECHNIC air grilles calculation software or contact us.
The standard dimensions of return grilles G1S are listed in the following surface factor selection table, but it is possible to manufacture G1S grilles in any dimension, under request.
G1S & G1S.A – PRESSURE DROP & NOISE LEVEL CALCULATION
PRESSURE DROP & NOISE LEVEL – RETURN GRILLE WITH VOLUME DAMPER
If we have a return grille with volume damper G1S+D, the calculation of the
total pressure drop and noise level is made using the G1S calculation diagrams
(as shown on page 5), the grille volume damper calculation diagrams (as listed
in their respective technical document) and the following equations.
Calculation example 1 :
Pressure drop and noise level calculation in a G1S+D, with damper blade angle
of 0⁰.
We have a grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 and an air flow of 1.000
m3/h. The grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 has, according to page 5
diagrams, for air flow equal to 1.000 m3/h, pressure drop of 10 Pa and a noise
level of 26,5 dB. A grille damper with dimensions 400 x 400 has, according
it’s respective selection diagrams, for blade angle 0⁰ and air flow of 1.000
m3/h, a pressure drop of 4,8 Pa and a noise level of 16,7 dB.
The total pressure drop inside the grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 is
the algebraic sum of the pressure drop inside the grille and the pressure drop
inside the damper: ΔpG1S + ΔpDamper = 10 + 4,8 = 14,8 Pa.
The total noise level is calculated by using the following equation: Ltot =
LG1S ⊕ LDamper = Lmax + C(ΔL). The difference between the noise levels of the
2 independent sound sources (the grille G1S and the damper) is ΔL = 9,8.
Therefore from the following diagram we determine that for ΔL = 9,8 the
correction factor C(ΔL) is equal to 0,6. So, the total noise level is Ltot =
Lmax + C(ΔL) = 26,5 + 0,6 = 27,1 dB.
Calculation example 2 :
Pressure drop and noise level calculation in a G1S+D, with damper blade angle
of 30⁰.
We have a grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 and an air flow of 1.000
m3/h. The grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 has, according to page 5
diagrams, for air flow equal to 1.000 m3/h, pressure drop of 10 Pa and a noise
level of 26,5 dB. A grille damper with dimensions 400 x 400 has, according
it’s respective selection diagrams, for blade angle 30⁰ and air flow of 1.000
m3/h, a pressure drop of 27,3 Pa and a noise level of 32,7 dB.
The total pressure drop inside the grille G1S+D with dimensions 400 x 400 is
the algebraic sum of the pressure drop inside the grille and the pressure drop
inside the damper: ΔpG1S + ΔpDamper = 10 + 27,3 = 37,3 Pa.
The total noise level is calculated by using the following equation: Ltot =
LG1S ⊕ LDamper = Lmax + C(ΔL). The difference between the noise levels of the
2 independent sound sources (the grille G1S and the damper) is ΔL = 6,2.
Therefore from the following diagram we determine that for ΔL = 6,2 the
correction factor C(ΔL) is equal to 1,0. So, the total noise level is Ltot =
Lmax + C(ΔL) = 32,7 + 1,0 = 33,7 dB.
CALCULATING THE TOTAL NOISE LEVEL BETWEEN 2 INDEPENDENT SOUND SOURCES
Since noise in [dB] is a quantity that is defined in logarithmic scale, when
we have 2 (or more) independent sound sources, the
total noise is not calculated by the algebraic sum of the 2 sources. The “sum”
of 2 sound sources L1, L2 is symbolized by the
internationaly defined symbol ⊕ and is calculated by using the following
equation :
Ltot = L1 ⊕ L2 = 10 x log(100,1 x L1 + 100,1 x L2)
Because of the previous equation requiring some complex calculations, we can
define the sum of 2 sound sources with sufficient
accuracy using the following approximate equation :
Ltot = L1 ⊕ L2 = Lmax + C(ΔL),
where Lmax is the largest noise level between L1 and L2 and C(ΔL) a correction
factor (in dB) which depends on the difference ΔL
= | L2 – L1 | and is calculated by using the following diagram.
