Is ventilation necessary?The German Standard DIN 1946/Part 2/Section 3.2 makes outside air flow rates compulsory for enclosed spaces so that people who work in these rooms are sup-plied with pre-conditioned outside air.In addition, a central ventilation system will remove the latent cooling percentage (air humidity) and any smells from the rooms.However, the air volume flow may be re-duced to the legal requirement. This would result in a substantial reduction in the size of the ventilation system needed.

The benefit of air conditioning Our thermal well-being depends on a number of factors. Our body will always try to balance its heat regulation so that all organs can work properly. In order for our organs and circulation to perform at opti- mum level our body temperature needs to remain at a constant 37 0C. This can only be achieved if both all sources that may generate heat (such as muscle activity, the burning of calories, etc.) and all ways to get rid of surplus heat (such as chivering, thin clothes, etc.) are in balance. Studies by P. O. Fanger have shown that people will only feel comfortable if they are in a neu-tral thermal state (Fig. 5.2), i.e. their ideal temperature is not disturbed. However, this ideal temperature may vary slightly from person to person.

Any deviation from this ideal temperature will result in a drop in performance from this person and reduce his productivity as well as his sense of well-being (Fig. 5.1). This important fact should always be taken into account when making an investment.Depending on ambient temperature, cloth-ing and Type of activity performed we regulate our body heat through convection and radiation (sensible heat discharge)

How do chilled beams work?TTC chilled beams always directly affect the air that circulates in a room and any heat sources present. A chilled beam’s cooling capacity is always supplied to the room in the form of a natural no-draught convection. This ensures a high level of comfort as regards the protection from draughts and noises.TTC chilled beams are available in two designs:

Active chilled beams with air supply ·connectionPassive chilled beams ·

Active chilled beams have a constant air flow rate because of the central ventilation system. Passive chilled beams change their air flow rate and cooling capacity dependent on the temperature difference between the room temperature and the surface temperature of the chilled beams.For this Type of chilled beam the supply air flow rate, a compulsory requirement of the German Standard DIN 1946/Part 2/Section 3.2, must be provided using an additional ventilation system.

Note!Please refer to our planning document »TTC Silent Gravity Cooling Modultherm« where you will find further information on how temperature differences cause people discomfort and how well various air condi-tioning systems are accepted.

If several active chilled beams are to be ar-ranged in parallel the units must be spaced a minimum distance »Amin« apart.To roughly calculate the distance between the units you can use the formulaAmin = 1,4 · aL and Fig. 5.4. The diagram applies to the one-sided air discharge only; for two-sided air discharge you will need to halve the air volume flow VL(specif) when you determine theAmin spacing.

Example: Chilled beam with two-sided air discharge, VL(specif) = 47 (m³/h·m), required air flow rate in the roomvL = 0,2 m

aL = 47 m³/(h·m) · 0,5 = 23,5 m³/(h·m)equals: aL = 1,2 mThe »Amin« spacing between the chilled beams can now be calculated as follows:Amin = aL[m] · 1,4 = 1,2 m · 1,4 = 1,68 mIf there are very high thermal loads the parameter »Amin« can be reduced.

The illustration does not show the air ·handling unit required to pre-condition the primary air supply.To supply the chilled beams with cold ·water you can either use suitable cold

water generators in heat pump mode or dry cooling towers to benefit from energy saving »freecooling«.

You will find more information on how to correctly control chilled beams on page 7.

Chilled beams are generally controlled with individual room or zone thermostats. This aims to satisfy the individual needs of the users. Room thermostats are installed to sequentially control the cooling and heating valve. This prevents any overlap between the heating and the cooling mode. The thermoelectrical actuators are applied to the room thermostat which is used to control the system based on a variance comparison.As the chilled beams are to remove sensible cooling loads only, a drop below the dew point must be avoided. It makes sense to install a dew sensor in the control circuit which will close the cooling valve if a drop below the dew point is detected.The chilled beams will discharge the cool air in a very natural way.

cooler (floating temperature difference) automatically controls the level of cool air that is discharged.A two-point valve control (OPEN-CLOSED) for the chilled beams is totally adequate and has the benefit of providing you with a considerable cost saving.

Design features for model ACBLQ

The cassette chilled beam model ACBLQ is an active chilled beam. It’s design and operation combines a ceiling air discharge with a decentralized cooling unit.This means that none of the usual ad-ditional air discharge points are required which in turn helps to optimize both the investment and the energy costs. The de-sign allows for trouble-free installation in standard panelled ceilings which makes the unit suitable for a whole host of applica-tions. The units can be installed flush in panelled ceilings.

Air coolerThe air cooler is made of copper pipes covered with aluminium fins. To ensure a continuous heat transfer the fins and the pipes are bonded together..

The water quality of the coolant must ·meet the requirements of the German Standard VDI 2035Maximum operating pressure 6 bar* ·Maximum operating temperature 90°C* ·

*Further installation options on request

ConnectionsThe connecting pipes projects horizontally »H« from the casing. The copper con-nection pipes have a diameter of 15 mm. The connections are suitable for soldered joints, clamping joints and crimped con-nections.

Casing The casing is made of coated steel plate (the colour is white, similar to RAL 9010). The cover can be removed for maintenance purposes. For dimensions see Fig. 8.2. A ø 125 mm air inlet connector is located at the top of the casing. Upon request the unit can also be supplied with this connec-tor located at the side.An air adjustment to individually control the supply air volume flows on each air discharge side comes as standard.

Optionsø 125 mm air inlet connector located at ·the side of the unit

ApplicationsOffices, open plan offices, administrative buildings, restaurants, showrooms, galler-ies, supermarkets, department stores, etc.

Design features for model ACBLZ

The panelled chilled beam model ACBLZ is an active air conditioning unit. As it requires a supply air flow to operate it automatically meets the requirements regarding the ventilation of a room. An air adjustment valve to control the air flow volume comes as standard. Installation of the unit is in panelled ceilings. An additional air passage grill is not required.The structural design of the units will be explained in the following.

Air coolerThe air cooler is made of copper pipes covered with aluminium fins. To ensure a continuous heat transfer the fins and the pipes are bonded together.

The water quality of the coolant must ·meet the requirements of the German Standard VDI 2035Maximum operating pressure 6 bar ·Maximum operating temperature 90°C ·

ConnectionsThe chilled beams will be supplied with »H« (horizontal) connection pipes only. The connection pipes average diameter is

ø 15 mm with one pipe division ·ø 22 mm with two or more pipe divisions. ·

The supply air connection (ø 100 mm) is located at the end or alternatively at the top of the unit.

CasingThe casing is made of coated steel plate (the colour is white, similar to RAL 9010). The perforated recirculating air inlet cover can be removed for maintenance purposes. For dimensions see Fig. 10.2. Two mounting rails run along the top of the whole unit. The mounting brackets which are included in the delivery are at-tached to these rails.

OptionsIntegrated light fixture ·

Installation notesIf the chilled beams are to be arranged in parallel the installation requirements illus-trated in Fig. 11.2 must be complied with to ensure a trouble-free operation.

ApplicationsOffices, open plan offices, administrative buildings, restaurants, showrooms, sound and TV studios, supermarkets, department stores, etc.

Design features for model AECEU

Model AECEU chilled beams are high performance units. It’s the unit of choice for locations with very high sensible cool-ing loads such as sound and TV studios, department stores with high thermal loads due to the lighting, computer rooms, etc. Installation is in panelled ceiling, behind decorative panels to protect them from view or in plain view if being able to see the technology is not a problem. Due to the high cooling power it is not recom-mended for people to occupy an area directly below the chilled beam for long periods (air flow rate > 0,25 m/s). TTC can supply suitable solutions for such an ap-plication.





Casing The casing is made of coated steel plate. For dimensions see Fig. 26.2; unit length Lges and finned length of chilled beam Lfinned see Fig. 26.3. Mounting rails run along the top of the whole unit. The mounting brackets which are included in the delivery are attached to these rails.

The TaskAn office with a sensible cooling load of Q· K(sen) = 1.200 W is to be cooled using two pas-sive chilled beams of the type AECBU. In addition, preconditioned primary air will be fed into the room. The chilled beams are to be installed in a panelled ceiling at a height of 2,7 m.The required supply air flow will be supplied to the room through a ventilation system.The room volume is approx. 80 m³.

Cold water temperatures: t · W1 = 17°C and tW2 = 19°C Room temperature: t · R = 26°C Supply air temperature: t · L(ZU) = 18°CMax. possible installation length L · (tot) = 5,50 m The supply air flow V · ·L(ZU) shall be 240 m³/h, i.e. the air in the room is to be changed 3 times Cooling capacity Q · · K(sen) = 600 W per chilled beam

The Solution (explained step by step)1. Use Formula 1 to calculate the average temperature difference ∆m

2. Fig. 24.4 gives the following specific cooling capacity qK(specif.) for unit width of 45 and 60 at ∆m = 8 K:

(Unit width 45) q · · K(specif) = 180 W/m (Unit width 60) q · · K(specif) = 270 W/m

3. Calculate the required finned length of the chilled beamsa) (Unit width 45) L · (finned) = Q

·K(sen)[W]: q·K(specif)[W/m] = 600 W : 180 W/m ≈ 3,33 m

b) (Unit width 60) L · (finned) = Q·

K(sen)[W]: q·K(specif)[W/m] = 600 W : 270 W/m ≈ 2,22 m Deduction in line with Fig. 24.3:

for a) part no. AECBU3545, unit length L · (tot.) = 35 dm > equivalent to L(finned) = 3,3 dm for b) part no. AECBU2560, unit length L · (tot.) = 25 dm > equivalent to L(finned) = 2,3 dm

4. Select the chilled beam you require from step 3. In respect of the installation length you could use both of the chilled beams. For the subsequent calculation we have chosen solution »b« (part no. AECBU2560 _ _ _ OS) Installed cooling capacity Q· K(sen) = 270 W/m · 2,3 m = 621 W (required 600 W)

Water-sided pressure drop5. Rough calculation of the water volume flow using formula 4

6. Calculate the total water-sided pressure drop using formula 5Fig. 24.5 · shows a specific pressure drop of ∆pW(specif) = 1,9 kPa/m for mW = 267 kg/h The selected chilled beam AECBU 2560 has a finned length of L · (finned) = 33 dm = 3,3 m

∆pW(tot)[kPa] = ∆pW(spezif)[kPa/m] · L(finned)[m] = 1,9 kPa/m · 2,3 m = 4,37 kPa

Air-sided cooling capacity7. The additional cooling capacity provided through the required supply air supply at 240 m³/h is calculated as follows:

Dexia Bank, Luxemburg Architect Claude VasconiFor the new administrative building of Dexia Bank in Luxemburg, TTC developed an active chilled beam (ACBLE) for heating and/or cooling as well as the corresponding curved ceiling panels (Fig. 30.1–3).

The primary air is supplied via nozzles, using induction to suck in secondary air through the air inlet grating and the heat exchanger, located in the unit. The escap-ing mixed air attaches itself to the ceiling, due to the Coanda effect, then disperses into the room and thus creates air circula-tion in the room.

Altstadtpalais MunichIn the Altstadtpalais in Munich, architects Auer + Weber/Munich applied ecologi-cal axioms in conjunction with Feng shui rules to install 434 active chilled beams with primary air connection in the ceil-ing, allowing a high level of flexibility with regard to how the room is used and furnished (Fig. 30.4–5).

In Combination with Multi-function Covers and LEDs TTC covers are an ideal combinations of design and function. Available in a multi-tude of shapes ans materials they can be integrated into any type of architectural design. (Fig. 31.1–4).

Adding coloured direct or indirect illumina-tion can create different moods and thus increase peoples sense of well-being.

Being to set how much air will be dis-charged into the room means that a room’s requirements can be met exactly. All cov-ers can of course also be used to remove air from the room. Different functions such as heating/cooling and ventilation can be concentrated in a small space which reduces investment cost.

TTC ceiling covers are particulary suit-able for retrofitting in offices, depart-ment stores and showrooms. Their design ensures trouble-free installation in most commonly used standard panelled ceilings.Design: www.two-design.com

Wall/Ceiling InstallationActive chilled beams, model ACBLH, can be installed on the wall underneath the ceil-ing (Fig. 31.5–6).The primary air is injected via a nozzle system behind the heat exchanger where it uses induction to create a vacuum which sucks the warm room air into the heat exchanger. The room air is then mixed with the primary air in the mixing chamber and blown out again underneath the ceiling. Due to the Coanda effect the air stream attaches itself to the ceiling and thus achieves a high trajectory length and pen-etration depth. When in cooling mode, all condensate that may accumulate will be collected in a condensate tray from where it can be drained.

Applications:Offices and administrative buildingsShowroomsCafés, Restaurants, Pubs, etc.
