ACTIVE CHILLED BEAM SYSTEMS (ACB)

Air vs Water

1” dia water pipe can deliver the same cooling as duct 300-350 times its size at the

same fluid temperature

Induction Process

Air Flow Pattern

Lower Energy Consumption(ASHRAE 90.1)

• Lower Airflow i.e. Lower Fan Power • Higher Chiller COP

100% Outside Air • i.e. Healthier Indoor Environment (ASHRAE 62.1)

Building Material Saving ( Glazing& RC)• Smaller Ductwork ; Reduction in Floor-to-Floor Slab height

• Can ‘avoid’ false ceiling and maintain aesthetics

Floor Space Saving • Smaller AHU Room• Smaller Cavity & Risers

Higher Thermal Comfort (ASHRAE 55.2)• Room Air-Velocities within band• Better distribution of temperature

Extremely Low Noise

Reduced Maintenance & Intrusion on Tenant

Key Benefits

Reduced fan power :32 % from Base VAV

Reduced cooling energy :38 % from Base VAV

Floor Space Saving

• Conventional 4 AHU design : 1596 ft2 per floor• Chilled Beam 4 AHU design : 560 ft2 per floor• For 6 floors (Typical Office), total saving

6 x ( 1596 – 560 ft2 ) : 6216 ft2
