The Science of ComfortTM
What if you could move through a fully functioning operating room and explore how it goes above and beyond current air distribution minimums without ever stepping foot in a hospital?
Now you can.

In February 2023, the new 40-gate terminal at Kansas City International Airport opened for commercial air service – a little more than 50 years after the original three-terminal airport began serving the area surrounding Kansas City, MO. At just over 1 million sq. ft. and with a budget of $1.5 billion, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history.

At Price, we pride ourselves on being industry leaders in room air distribution. Our manufactured products are designed around a common goal: to keep the room air clean, dry and comfortable. This is often accomplished by blowing a jet of conditioned, fresh air through a grille, register or diffuser (GRD) throughout a room to properly ventilate it.

There is a misconception that VAV diffusers are noisy, but a review of their performance data shows that they have a pressure versus noise relationship similar to that of all diffusers. The difference is that VAV diffusers have a built-in VAV damper and can close to a minimum, possibly building up pressure in the system. It is the higher pressure that makes diffusers noisy, and because of this, a method of pressure control should be used in every VAV diffuser system.
