Ceiling Diffuser System with a Common Plenum Array of Laminar Airflow Diffusers and a Grid Support Structure

Abstract

A first embodiment of a ceiling diffuser system includes a grid support structure with members releasably connected to each other, a common plenum diffuser array supported by the grid support structure, and at least one equipment support module mechanically and releasably connected to and supported by the grid support structure. A second embodiment of the ceiling diffuser system includes an upper grid support structure, a common plenum diffuser array supported by the upper grid support structure, a lower grid support structure, support struts supported by the lower grid support structure, and rails supported by the support struts.

1 . A ceiling diffuser system comprising:
 a. a grid support structure with members releasably connected to form the grid support structure;   b. an array of laminar airflow diffusers supported by the grid support structure; and   c. an equipment support module releasably connected to and supported by the grid support structure.   
     
     
         2 . The ceiling diffuser system of  claim 1 , wherein the array of laminar airflow diffusers is located below the grid support structure, and the equipment support module is located outboard of the grid support structure. 
     
     
         3 . The ceiling diffuser system of  claim 1 , wherein the array of laminar airflow diffusers is located below the grid support structure, and the equipment support module is surrounded by the array of laminar airflow diffusers. 
     
     
         4 . The ceiling diffuser system of  claim 1 , wherein the array of laminar airflow diffusers is connected to a common air supply plenum. 
     
     
         5 . A ceiling diffuser system comprising:
 a. an upper grid support structure with members releasably connected to form the upper grid support structure;   b. a lower grid support structure with members releasably connected to form the lower grid support structure wherein the lower grid support structure is supported by the upper grid support structure by vertical members;   c. an array of laminar airflow diffusers supported by the upper grid support structure;   d. at least one support strut connected to the lower grid support structure; and   e. equipment support rails connected to and supported by the at least one support strut.   
     
     
         6 . The ceiling diffuser of  claim 1 , wherein the array of laminar airflow diffusers is located below and supported by the upper grid support structure. 
     
     
         7 . The ceiling diffuser of  claim 1 , wherein the array of laminar airflow diffusers is connected to a common air supply plenum.
