VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (RAV)

RABIE VAV terminal boxes type RAV were developed for the control of air flow, especially
in variable volume systems.
They come in different models:
• RAVBS/BC Single Duct Terminal Box (VAV/CAV)
• RAVBP By-Pass Terminal Box

Factory fitted control package, ensures the most accurate setup of required flow rates.
The flow rate control is a closed circuit system with external power supply. RAV boxes
can be supplied with control components from any reputable manufacturer to suit the
project specification.

RAV contains a differential pressure sensor for air flow measurement (not for Bypass
type), a control damper and an integral sound attenuator for reducing the air regenerated
noise.

The control damper blade with seal insures best air tightness when closed.

RAV has a circular spigot connection up to 300 mm (12”) size, oval connection for larger
sizes on the fan side (high pressure end) and a rectangular flange connection on the
room side (low pressure end).

NC levels of the different VAV boxes model RAV are calculated based on AHRI 885-2008
standard and under the following application assumptions:
• Octave bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 only are considered in the acoustical module.
• The VAV installation layout is as per Figure 1.
• The VAV distribute air into two branches.
• Critical paths of sound taken into consideration are Radiated Sound and Discharged
Sound.

 VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (RAV)

• All RAV models can be optionally integrated with an electric air heater, attached to the
end of the unit. The unit will be with one control box sharing the same transformer and
fuse box so that one extension of power supply can be connected.
• Heater capacity in this case determines whether the unit should receive single or
three phase power supply as it is recommended to connect 3 phase input if the re-
quired capacity equals three KW or above. Single phase, however, is possible for
higher capacities up to 5 KW.

• D is the heater depth and depends on the number of heating elements

• L & A as per dimensional data on page no. 7
