cooled before returning downwards. Passive Beams

can be integrated within a ceiling in conjunction with
various ventilation systems. Alternatively in order to
offset solar gains from glazed facades, perimeter
passive beams can be installed to work in
conjunction with Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings.
Active Chilled Beams can be integrated within metal
ceilings, they incorporate a air diffusion unit, which
introduces conditioned air to the occupied space. Air
is supplied via a series of nozzles, which induces
warm air into the beam to be cooled.
Active and Passive Chilled Beams can be integrated
with other M&E services and encased within a
architecturally designed module. Further details on
ISMs (Integrated Service Modules) or MSCBs (MultiService Chilled Beams). Chilled Beams use water as a
heat transfer method and offer a practical alternative
to conventional air conditioning systems. Chilled
Beams are manufactured by bonding aluminium heat
transfer fins to copper cooling elements. Chilled
Beams (a compact product) enable a large surface
area to be efficiently cooled.

System Features
Water based cooling solution
Large surface (cooling) area in a compact space
Range of applications
Energy efficient: low operating temperatures and
pressure drop
Active or passive cooling
Compatible with ground-sourcing and free cooling
technologies
Off-site prefabrication, testing and commissioning
available
Lack of moving parts, resulting in low
maintenance regimes

Access
Via hinge-down panels.

Sizes & Shapes

A range of shapes, widths and lengths is available to
suit most applications.

Finish
Chilled Beam elements are not normally painted, but
can be finished in any RAL colour.

Perforation
For optimum performance, a minimum open area of
50% is recommended to ensure air movement for
Passive Beams, while an open area of 63% is
recommended for Active Beams.
