Variable geometry chilled beams for efficient variable air volume (VAV) systems

It has been almost 10 years since a CIBSE Journal CPD last discussed variants and applications of the ‘chilled beam’. In the meantime, the installation of beams has gathered pace, and they are now commonly seen in commercial applications. This CPD will revisit the basic functions of chilled beams, …

The Crucial Role of Ventilation in Healthcare Facilities

Ensuring healthcare facilities are properly ventilated is the key to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and healthcare workers. With HVAC design and installation, there are many factors to consider. Although room terminal selection plays a significant role in the overall …

What are the advantages of dry cooling?

The concept of dry cooling is all about delivering sensible cooling from a hydronic circuit. It might sound simple, but it has a prerequisite - the temperature of the system’s circulating water has to be kept above dew point at all times. Once this criterion is met, there is a clear potential to …

Active chilled beams with variable k-factor - an option for both CAV and VAV systems

To create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment where people can perform an thrive, it is important to ensure good air quality. This, without creating noise and without causing discomfort due to high air velocities, temperature gradients or radiant asymmetry. The challenge is to design a …

How to choose between active chilled beams and fan coils?

When designing an HVAC system there are a number of different choices that have to be made. One such choice is the type of terminal unit to use meet set requirements. There are many factors that influence the choice, such as energy consumption, service need, ease of system design and installation. …
