  • the air gaps 412 comprise openings formed between each adjacent spacer element 420 and between the ceiling tiles 409 spaced apart from the profiles by the spacer elements 420.
  • the air gaps 412 of the fourth embodiment are configured to have an increased air flow area as a function of increased distance from an air inlet.
  • the height of the spacer elements 420 provided on the ceiling tiles 409 may be the same, but the distance between the spacer elements 420 may increase from one ceiling element 409 to the next.
  • the left ceiling tile 409 is arranged closer to the air inlet than the right ceiling tile 409. A distance D1 between adjacent spacer elements 420 of the left ceiling tile 409 is less than the distance D2 between adjacent spacer elements 420 of the right ceiling tile 409.
  • the distance between the spacer elements 420 may increase for every two, three, etc. ceiling tile 409, as a function of increased distance from the air inlet.
  • the height of the spacer elements 420 may be constant for all ceiling tiles 409, the height of the stepped notch 413 of the ceiling tiles 409 may also be constant.
  • the lower surfaces 414 of the ceiling tiles 409 may thereby be arranged planar.
  • the features of the ceiling tiles and/or profiles described with reference to the first, second, third and fourth embodiments may beneficially be combined.
