Abstract (en)
An apparatus for mounting a flat panel radiator (200) into a ceiling grid to provide improved sound absorption. The ceiling grid system has openings defined by main beams (600) and cross beams (602). The main beams are secured through hanger wires (601) to a hard ceiling. The main beams and the crossbeams have flanges with the crossbeams resting on the flanges of the main beams. The mounting apparatus has a frame (210), cushioning elements (214) attached to the frame, and an acoustically resistant facing (236) or scrim attached to the bottom of the frame. A layer of air is trapped between the facing (236) and the flat panel radiator (200). This combination of the air layer and the acoustically optimized facing form a sound absorber that alters the acoustic characteristics of the flat panel radiator. <IMAGE>
