Fio. 9. Distribution Methods for Small Rooms
A. Satisfactopr for cooling. Unsatisfactory for heating in severe climates where the outside tem perature is consistently below 40 F, and single glass and uninsulated walls are prevalent.-
B. Performance approximately that.of A.when small diffusers are used in bottom.of the duct. . ,C. Satisfactory for cooling. Satisfactory for heating if direct radiation- is properly controlled.
D.' Satisfactory for both coolingand heating. The air should be discharged slightly away from the wall, and-for low velocities, should be fanned out parallel to the wall.
theaters, relatively high velocities can be used. These will work satisfac torily if adjustable outlets are used to avoid areas of local turbulence.
In small or medium-size theaters, it is sometimes practicable to use side wall or front wall 'distribution. :For the: satisfactory operation of such a
system during the winter heating period,, the returns should: preferably be located at the floor level and heir the front of the theater to prevent cold spots which may result from exposed wall convection or infiltration from
exits.

For mvUi-rocm buildings diagrams shown in'Fig. 9 illustrate distribution methods for small rooms with exposed wall, such as offices, hotel (guest)
rooms, hospital (patients) rooms, apartments, etc.

Fiq; 10. Small Store Cooling Distribution
A. Rear Wall. High outlet velocity, satisfactory if properly designed; possibility of excessive air motion and- drafts if used for wrong application
B. Front Wall.. High outlet velocity, results same as A. C. Front and Rear Walls. Moderate room air motion, outlet blows should not impinge giving rise to down drafts in center. D. Center. Moderate air motion; no impingement of air streams. Good results. E. One Side. Moderate room air motion; should blow toward exposed wall. Good results. F. Ceiling. Low room air motion. Good results. Outlets should be selected of sufficient size to allow for blocking when not located in perfect squares;
