Abstract
A linear air diffuser is provided with one discharge opening regulated by a single, longitudinally pivotable blade and a thermally powered, self-contained control mechanism to preferentially orient the blade in response to changes in supply air and/or room air temperature. The diffuser maintains room air temperature at a desired level by varying the size of the discharge opening of the diffuser, thereby effecting a change in the volume of the supply air delivered to the room. In addition, the discharge opening and blade are designed so the cool supply air is discharged horizontally along the ceiling, and warm supply air is discharged vertically downward into the room.
