Chilled Beams

Unleash peak productivity. Active chilled beams create a draft-free, energy-efficient environment that keeps you cool and focused.

Chilled beam systems are designed for use in non-residential applications where there is a high temperature load or rooms that require individual comfort control. FläktGroup^® SEMCO^® offers a wide range of active chilled beams that improve indoor air quality using a combination of radiant cooling and conventional overhead ventilation. Our chilled beams are designed to manage high cooling capacity by using a primary air supply, typically outdoor air, to increase airflow over the element. The primary air is then supplied to the room through diffusers built into the beam. Many of our beams have a patented system for adjusting airflow, cooling effect, and airflow pattern making them highly adaptable to suit the changing conditions of any given space.

Key Benefits:

• Minimal Energy Consumption: Chilled beams do not use fans, can operate with higher water temperatures — reducing chiller loads, and do not require high airflows to work efficiently, so smaller air handling or energy recovery units can be used. Adding chilled beams to buildings can help obtain LEED, U.S. Green Building Council, and BREEAM certifications.
• Whisper Quiet: Chilled beams provide lower noise levels than most HVAC systems.
• Aesthetically Pleasing: The architectural impact of ductwork and other mechanical systems can be reduced with chilled beams.
  

• Optimal Comfort: Flow patterns can be easily manipulated to optimize a room or zone's temperature needs. Chilled beams also have even air dissemination, eliminating pockets of concentrated air.

To optimize your chilled beams, FläktGroup SEMCO offers the Neuton^® Chilled Beam Pump Module which provides active condensation control while offering an improved response to occupied and unoccupied spaces.
