Linear Therma-Fuser (TL)

The Acutherm TL is a linear, thermally powered VAV diffuser that combines a sleek architectural profile with built-in temperature control. Extruded aluminum construction, integral thermostats, and modulating blades deliver quiet, proportional airflow and consistent Coanda effect along the ceiling — all without external wiring or pneumatics.

Description

Product Model TL Linear Therma-Fuser Diffuser Info:
  • Model: TL — Linear Therma-Fuser diffuser
  • Types: TL-C (VAV cooling only), TL-CW (VAV cooling with warm-up), TL-D (manual blades), TL-RAD (return air, ducted), TL-RAP (return air, plenum)
  • Nominal Lengths: 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″ (metric lengths available)
  • Slots: 1-slot, 2-slot, or 4-slot
  • Blow Direction: 1-way or 2-way linear
How It Works
  • Built-in thermostat/actuator senses average room air via an induction chamber and venturi at the diffuser end.
  • Wax-filled actuator expands on a rise in temperature to open blades; contracts as the room cools to close blades.
  • In TL-CW models, a separate changeover thermostat senses supply air — supply above 80 °F opens blades for constant-volume heating.
  • Properly applied TL units maintain room temperature within about ±1.5 °F (0.9 °C) of the selected setpoint.
Features
  • Sleek, slim linear profile with extruded aluminum construction and powder-coated visible surfaces.
  • Precise damper and diffusion geometry for strong Coanda effect and no dumping at turndown.
  • Continuous room-air sampling over the thermostat for accurate control across the full VAV range.
  • Thermally powered “green VAV” — no local electrical or pneumatic power required.
  • Low maintenance with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Options
  • Remote Adjust: DA1 or DA1M (1–2 slot), DA2 or DA2M (4-slot) Digital Wall Adjuster; WA1M / WA2M Wireless Wall Adjuster
  • Insulation: I — internal ½″ fiber-free foam lining
  • Sensor: AS — output for DSMC or 3rd-party control/monitoring
  • Ends: TEG (reveal) or MP (thin tile) end treatments
Accessories
  • Frames: AC-TL-HCF (hard ceiling frame), AC-TL-TEG1 (tegular 9/16″ T-bar, used with TEG end angles)

TL diffusers are supplied as complete linear VAV terminals with integrated thermostat/actuator and venturi induction. They are intended to replace portions of ceiling panels and are not designed to straddle T-bar grid.
