Abstract: A diffuser comprising a casing (10), a first temperature sensitive element (32) for sensing room temperature variations and including a body and a piston which move relatively to one another in response to temperature variations, a second temperature sensitive element (38), an airflow control structure including a damper blade (72) having a first position in which airflow is restricted and a second position in which a greater air flow is permitted, and an actuator (18) for displacing the blade (72) between said first and second positions in response to room temperature variations, the actuator (18) including a cam follower (56) which is displaced by the first element (32) as the piston and body of the first element (32) move relatively to one another with room temperature variations, and a spindle (36) connecting the cam (56) to the second element (38).

Abstract: A diffuser (10) for controlling flow of air in an air conditioning system, the diffuser comprising two temperature sensitive elements (20, 22) for respectively sensing room temperature and duct temperature variations. The elements (20, 22) are axially aligned. Links (68) are provided for displacing an air flow control baffle (78). A control structure is provided for displacing the links (68) in dependence on sensed room temperature thereby to displace the baffle (68) and vary air flow. The control structure has two components (34, 36) which act on the links (68). When the element (22) is detecting cooled air the component (34) acts on the links (68). The component (36) acts on the links (68) when the element (22) is detecting warmed air. Switch over between these conditions occurs automatically as supply of air is changed from hot to cold and visa versa.
