Active Multi-Service Chilled Beam


Compact™

Description

The FTF Group Compact™ unit is a slim line Active Chilled Beam that uses a supply of fresh ventilation air to draw warm room air to the unit's cooling battery. This warmer room air is cooled as it passes through the finned tube cooling batteries, which comprise aluminium fins with copper channels through which cool water passes. The heat of the room is taken in through the aluminium fins, and transferred into the water circuit through the copper tube and on to a central chiller.

The unit is able to induce and condition 4-5 times as much room air as fresh air supplies. Conditioned air is then quietly reintroduced into the room, entraining to the ceiling rather than being dumped directly below the beam, thanks to patented nozzle and air chamber design that produce a coanda effect-even with as little as 0.6 CFM/ft2.

  • Cooling
  • Fresh air
  • Air supply rate up to 19.3 CFM/ft per unit
  • All recirculated air is contained within the product casing

Optional features

  • Heating
  • Integrated lighting
  • Integrated control valves

Dimensions

Length: Modules from 2ft up to 12ft
Width: 23 11/16"

Connection

Water: Horizontal or vertical, same end or opposite.

Performance

Watts per meter total cooling (based on 18dTF and 16.7CFM/ft for a 6' long beam, supplied at 60°F with a 0.4"H20).

Maintenance

The unit has no moving parts and therefore maintenance requirement is limited to periodic cleaning of the finned tube batteries. All sides of the batteries can be accessed from below via the removable perforated faceplate.

Installation

Beams are designed to be supported by 2 or 3 sets of threaded rod hangers, dependent on product length.

Active Multiservice Chilled Beam Air Movement


The FTF Group Active Chilled Beam uses the supply of ventilation air to draw warmer room air up and across the unit's cooling battery. The image above illustrates the air movement pattern and cooling mode. Conditioned air is then quietly re-introduced into the space, entertaining to the side profiles of the multiservice chilled beam rather than being dumped directly below the beam, thanks to the patented built nozzle strip and air chamber design that developed a Coanda effect at the air discharge point. The nozzle technology also allows the company to determine and factory-set the airflow dispersion characteristics of each unit.
