4 What, why, how many?
5 Chilled Beams What are they? They are a cooling device They are different from chilled ceilings These rely solely on radiant cooling (Output 50 to 55 watts per square metre) They are an alternative to both Fan Coil Units and VAV systems There are three kinds of chilled beams Active Chilled Beams can also be used for heating
6 Chilled Beams What are they? 1. Passive No reliance on primary air supply. They work entirely on radiant convection. (Output 130 to 170 watts per linear metre)
7 Chilled Beams What are they? 2. Active These rely on primary air supply to provide the induction required for performance. (Output 850 to 1400 watts per linear metre)
8 Chilled Beams What are they? 3. Multi Service These are active beams with the additional components (smoke detectors, lighting, sprinklers etc.) (Output 850 to 1050 watts per linear metre)
9 Chilled Beams The History Chilled Beams were developed in Norway in 1975 Originally used in Scandinavia Introduced to UK in 1990 s Now used world wide Device of choice for some Clients

13 ACB UK Market Data Provided by BSRIA s Worldwide Market Intelligence (WMI) Group Data comes from the HEVAC study Annual collection of a/c product sales Managed by BSRIA for a number of years with HEVAC/FETA s endorsement All data to be published in the UK Air conditioning study next month buy from WMI Author David Garwood (available over lunch)
14 Market For Chilled Beams & Ceilings* UK market reduced over last couple of years Many major projects were shelved or put on hold Leading suppliers now seeing signs of improvement Some major projects now moving forward 2012 sales were for universities, hospitals and labs plus a few offices and police stations * Data provided by WMI, BSRIA
15 UK Fan Coil Market* Highly engineered product in UK market But.. Highly price driven Customers of fan coils look at : First price Second thermal performance Third acoustic performance * Data provided by WMI, BSRIA
16 Chilled Beams vs Fan Coil Units Active chilled beams main substitute product for FCUs Conversely, ACB players fighting back against threat of FCU through marketing: Demonstrating how ACB can be a suitable replacement for FCU Placing emphasis on: Energy efficiencies Long life expectancy Low maintenance Occupant comfort * Data provided by WMI, BSRIA

22 Description and application
23 Active Chilled Beams - Considerations Still requires central bulkhead or similar for services (Supply Duct, Extract Duct, Chilled Water Pipework, Controls etc.) Careful control of primary supply air temperature required to prevent perception of cold draughts Chilled water temperature needs accurate control
24 Active Chilled Beams - Considerations Performance of the whole space needs to be evaluated The air patterns are very hard to predict Air distribution throughout the space is load dependent Computer modelling does not give the true air movement answers You MUST understand the product, how it works and how it integrates to its environment
25 Active Chilled Beams - Considerations Heating application requires careful design It can be counter intuitive Full mock-up of partial areas is the best solution to understand the product
26 Video not available in pdf. format
27 Active Chilled Beams - Advantages Cheaper to buy Low Maintenance One Fix device Does not require secondary ductwork/grilles etc. Only require simple controls On/Off is adequate for cooling Variable Self Limiting Output No condensate drainage required
28 Active Chilled Beams - Advantages Supply conditioned air to the space Large induction ratios Fully mixes the air within the space Very slow air velocities within the occupied zone Multi service beams allows ancillary services to be concealed
29 Active Chilled Beams - Advantages Works well when combined with other cooling sources Requires full scale mock-up testing to ensure that they do not interact Very quiet product Can be visually pleasing
30 Active Chilled Beams - Disadvantages Not liked by letting agents Not flexible enough No energy allowances under Building Regs. (FCU s allowed 0.6w/(l/s) - FAVAV allowed 1.2w/(l/s)) Normally requires higher system static pressures Airflow may be greater than required for occupancy
31 Active Chilled Beams - Disadvantages Poor chilled water temperature control can lead to indoor rain May require sound masking (pink noise) to maintain privacy levels Requires careful co-ordination to get the solution right

33 Performance testing
34 ACB Definitions Reference temperature: return air onto beam (usually underside in active beams) Mean water temperature: average of water into and out of beam Difference gives indication of cooling potential: no difference means no cooling should happen BS EN 15116:2008 Ventilation in buildings. Chilled beams. Testing and rating of active chilled beams
35 Schematic of test chamber
36 Performance Testing BS EN 15116:2008 Internal heat supply method Heat sources within chamber (DIN men) External heat supply method Heated walls (same concept as radiator test room) General principle of a calorimeter with steady state boundary conditions and 60 min steady state data
37 Performance Testing BS EN 15116:2008 Temperature difference ΔΘ = Θ r θ w Θ r = reference air temperature Θ w = mean cooling water temperature q p = primary air flow rate 3 steady state conditions at ΔΘ = 6, 8 and 10K with constant q p Repeat at ΔΘ = 8K nominal with q p at 80% and 120% to determine influence of primary air on thermal performance Repeat all five at half the nominal water flow rate
38 Performance Testing BS EN 15116:2008 Performance follows the form of P w = P k * ΔΘ m Where P w is waterside cooling capacity P k is specific cooling capacity m is an exponent Alternatively, P k = P w / ΔΘ m Also, P k = A * q p n A is a characteristic constant n is an exponent
