Abstract

A linear air diffuser is disclosed for the delivery of conditioned air to the interior of a passenger vehicle such as a bus, railcar or the like. The diffuser consists of a frame structure characterized by a pair of open ended longitudinally extending delivery channels situated in a generally parallel side-by-side relationship. Each of the channels is turned to extend laterally outwardly in opposite directions and is provided with a curved interior surface on one wall to intercept input air so as to induce eddy current turbulence in the flow characteristics of the delivered air. The input openings to the channels are partially closed by a common longitudinal plate releasably affixed to the frame structure. The lateral peripheral edges of the plate serve to determine the width of a narrow longitudinal input orifice for each of the channels.
