In the premium commercial and industrial spaces of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, traditional metal grilles and diffusers are often being replaced by Fabric Air Diffusers (also known as Air Sox or Textile Terminals). Unlike a metal diffuser that jets air from a single point, a fabric diffuser utilizes the entire surface area of the duct to distribute air. This creates a high-comfort, "draft-free" environment that is both energy-efficient and aesthetically modern.
EKG M&E Sdn Bhd specializes in the engineering and installation of these textile air dispersion systems, ensuring they meet MS 1525 comfort standards and EECA 2024 energy mandates.
Traditional metal diffusers rely on high-velocity "mixing" to cool a room. Fabric diffusers utilize a more gentle method called Displacement Ventilation.
Uniform Airflow: Air is discharged through millions of microscopic pores or laser-cut micro-perforations over the entire circumference of the duct.
Low Velocity: Because the air is released over such a large area, the exit velocity is extremely low. This eliminates the "cold draft" sensation common in offices and gyms, providing a perfectly even temperature across the floor plan.
Superior Mixing: Even at low velocities, fabric diffusers are engineered to "induce" the surrounding room air into the flow. This ensures that fresh, cooled air reaches the "occupant zone" without creating turbulent noise or high-speed air jets.
As a specialized M&E contractor, EKG ensures your textile diffuser system supports building performance:
TNB Energy Efficiency (Low Static Resistance):
Fabric diffusers offer significantly less resistance to airflow than traditional metal grilles with adjustable dampers. This allows your fans to run at lower frequencies via Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), directly reducing your monthly TNB electricity bill.
Anti-Condensation Performance:
In Malaysia’s high humidity, metal diffusers often "sweat," leading to mold and water damage. Our permeable fabric diffusers allow air to migrate through the material itself, keeping the surface temperature above the dew point and eliminating condensation without bulky insulation.
Acoustic Excellence:
By removing the "whistling" associated with high-velocity metal grilles and dampening mechanical vibrations, fabric diffusers are naturally silent—perfect for libraries, auditoriums, and open-plan offices.
