Displacement System
Mixed Systems DV Systems
Ec= 0.8 Ec=1.2 - 1.4
Ventilation air is delivered at low
velocity and at low levels within the
space; the system uses naturally
occurring buoyant forces within the
space to create a vertical rise of the
air throughout the space.
2-4˚ F differential supply air to space
Supply air rises when heat source is
contacted
Displaces room air upward
Air rises with pollutants to ceiling
Air returns at ceiling back to air

GARCIA • GALUSKA • DESOUSA Consulting Engineers Inc. Displacement System
Pros:
Excellent pollution removal
Very low noise levels
Very low air velocity
Low moisture levels
Reduced cooling loads
Reduced initial cost
Variable volume reheat is not
required
High ventilation effectiveness
Cons:
Requires perimeter radiation
heating or radiant heating
panels
Displacement Diffuser Options
Page 30
GARCIA • GALUSKA • DESOUSA Consulting Engineers Inc. Displacement System – Energy Conservation
Load Calculation Reductions
Conventional System: All heat generated
in room is included in air flow calculation
since all airflow is mixed.
Displacement System: Only loads which
occur in the Occupied Zone are factored
Results in: Smaller equipment & systems
and lower installed and operating costs
for Displacement Systems
Additional Energy Efficiency Measures
Energy Recovery: Transfers energy from the
return air stream to the supply air stream to
pre-heat or pre-cool the outside air.
VAV Boxes with Demand Control Ventilation:
Modulates the airflow to each classroom in
accordance to space mounted thermostat
and CO2 sensors reducing energy
consumption due to reduced air changes.
Requires additional first cost and
maintenance costs.

Induction Units
Primary (Ventilation) Air is
supplied to plenum and
discharges through nozzles
Room air is induced through the
heating/cooling coils
Mixture of Primary and Room air
is delivered to room through
diffuser slots.
Condensate drain pans and
piping system for condensate
removal

Induction Units
Pros:
Energy efficient
Low Noise Levels
Flexibility of Installation
Moderate first cost
Simplified Controls (No Fans)
Lower Maintenance (No
Terminal Filters)
Cons:
Requires increased
coordination with “ceiling”
system. (e.g. flex duct isn’t an
option and condensate piping)
