Assembly

Active chilled beams type DID-E are ideal for installation into a
formed plaster board bulkhead, as in the vestibule areas of hotel
bedrooms, individual hospital wards and cellular offices.
The assembly is hung from the ceiling slab using metal hangers
or screwed rods locating in the suspension holes in the unit.
All hanging systems must have a Building Authority certificate
of approval.

The plaster bulkhead must have an opening in its base for the
induced air. The induction aperture cover must have at least
50 % free area e.g. perforated plate. Trox can supply an
induction spigot and return air grille as accessories, these are
recommended to be used. The vertical face of the bulkhead
must have a discharge opening. For optimum air supply into the
space Trox discharge spigot and supply air grille should be
used.
