ADVB

Advantage Digital Square VAV Diffuser With Built-In Thermostat (ADVB)

The Acutherm ADVB is a digital VAV diffuser with a built-in diffuser thermostat, combining precise electronic control with personal comfort at the diffuser. By moving the thermostat off the wall and into the diffuser face, ADVB uses positive induction to sample room air and modulate airflow to maintain the room setpoint with high accuracy.


Description

Product Model ADVB — Advantage Digital VAV Diffuser with Built-In Thermostat

  • Model: ADVB — Square plaque digital VAV diffuser with built-in thermostat
  • Series: Advantage Digital VAV Diffusers (ADV / ADVB / ADVR / ADVL)
  • Face Size: 24″ (600 mm) square; Inlet Sizes: 6″, 8″, 10″, and 12″ round
  • Construction: 22-gauge steel housing with powder-coated finish and aerodynamic damper

Built-In Diffuser Thermostat

  • Thermostat is located inside the diffuser — no wall-mounted thermostat required.
  • Positive induction draws a continuous sample of room air over the built-in sensor for accurate measurement.
  • Room setpoint is controlled by the BAS while the diffuser controls local airflow to maintain that setpoint.
  • Ideal for open offices, glass walls, or spaces where wall thermostat placement is difficult or undesirable.

Comfort & Control Features

  • Maintains room setpoint with accuracy of approximately ±1 °F, improving occupant comfort.
  • PI control algorithms provide stable room temperature without hunting or overshoot.
  • Optional BACnet interface (Advantage family) allows sharing of room temperature, setpoint, and load with a BAS.
  • Supports auxiliary heat control to perimeter devices like baseboards or radiant panels.

Accessories & Options

  • APM: Central 24 VAC power for multiple Advantage diffusers.
  • ARC: Bypass collar to relieve excess static into the ceiling plenum.
  • PIM: Pressure independence module for varying upstream static.
  • DMS: Diffuser Measuring Station for CFM measurement and BAS reporting.
  • BACnet Interface: Optional interface to share room temperature, setpoint, and load with a BAS.
