Moscows Sheremetyevo Airport Terminal D is the new futuristic 170,000 sq m terminal facility designed to cater for up to 12 million passengers per year.

Gilberts (Blackpool) Ltd, one of the UK’s leading air distribution companies has recently completed the contract to supply over 365 metres of special curved slot diffuser for this state of the art airport development.

The slot diffusers were installed throughout the expansive duty free shopping areas. The Terminal D building itself has a curved flowing design theme with Gilberts curved slot diffuser offering a perfect matching themed solution.

The unique design of the GSL frame and directional control blade allows for shaping of the diffuser into a variety of curved patterns whether for architectural or aesthetic reasons. Importantly however instead of being blanked or having dummy sections the GSL curved slot diffuser can still provide full active airflow since the directional control blade faithfully follows the profile of the outer frame. This allowed full circular and oval runs to be constructed whilst still maintaining active diffuser performance.

Using standard concealed bracket fixing the diffusers were easily installed. The main contractor was Enka based in Turkey.
