QC ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE AIR NOZZLE KIT ASSEMBLY The optional discharge nozzle kits are used to direct the conditioned air to a specific target area. By concentrating the airflow, the nozzles increase the air velocity towards production lines to cool personnel and/or equipment. In server rooms, the nozzles can be used to direct the airflow through the rack to remove the hot air from the area of the equipment.
