Our Mission
To be the leading specialist in energy ecient and environmentally sustainable HVAC technologies and technical expertise, with the aim of delivering the most ecient and value added solution.

Going Beyond Conventional Wisdom

In the design of a typical HVAC system, many decisions are made based largely on past experience and conventional wisdom. While this often results in a satisfactory system, it may not result in an optimal green design. With the movement toward sustainable building designs, there is an increased emphasis on improving both the energy eciency and comfort level of all HVAC systems. The general design intent of an active chilled beam system is for the central system to circulate only the amount of primary air needed for ventilation and latent load purposes, with the active chilled beams providing the additional sensible cooling (and heating) and air movement required through the induced room air and secondary water coil. Active chilled beam systems transfer a large portion of the cooling (and heating loads) from the less ecient air distribution system (fans and ductwork) to the more ecient water distribution system (pumps and pipes). The net result of this shift in loads is lower energy consumption and operating costs. DADANCO Active Chilled Beams oer an opportunity to improve both the energy eciency and comfort level over conventional All-Air HVAC systems in many market sectors including Schools and Universities, Healthcare and Hospitals, Hotels, Laboratories, Commercial oces, Government, Institutional and Defense buildings, either for New build or Green refurbishment.

DADANCO Technology

DADANCO Active Chilled Beams utilize unique nozzle and unit uid dynamics technology. This patented technology provides very high air entrainment ratios at low pressure drops. A major benet of DADANCOs technology is that this superior performance is delivered at the lowest noise levels. DADANCO Active Chilled Beams can typically provide higher secondary to primary airows as compared to others, often providing unit selections with either greater capacity or reduced size. This often results in cost savings due to a smaller number of units being installed or the use of smaller units. DADANCO Active Chilled Beams have been tested both in-house and independently at ETL Laboratories.

What is an Active Chilled Beam?

Active chilled beams are continuously supplied with primary air by the central air handling system. This primary air is supplied to the active chilled beams at a constant ow and pressure and its volume is typically above the minimum ventilation requirement for the space. The primary air must be dehumidied suciently to handle all of the room latent loads and can also be cooled or heated to handle a portion of the room sensible loads.

Operation of an ACB40 (2-way)

ACB50 (1-way) operation is similar, however, only 1 slot discharges mixed (cooled or heated) air back into the space.

Conditioned primary air (1), from the central AHU, is ducted to the chilled beams upper air plenum (2) and introduced into the active chilled beam lower air chamber (6) through a series of induction nozzles (3). Due to the uid dynamic properties of the nozzles, room air (4) is drawn upwards into the active chilled beams heat exchange coil (5) by an induction process. The heat exchanger coil has either elevated temperature chilled water or low temperature hot water piped to it from the central plant via secondary pipework distribution systems. As induced room air crosses the coil, it is cooled or heated dependent on the demand of the space (set via the room temperature sensor operating the chilled water or hot water control valves) to the extent needed to control the room temperature. Induced room air (now either cooled or heated) is then mixed in the lower air chamber (6) with the primary air and the mixed (supply) air (7) is then discharged into the room. The return water from the coil is recirculated back to the central plant where it is either re-chilled (under cooling) or re-heated (under heating).

Why are Active Chilled Beams Green?

In general, the design intent is for the central air handling system to circulate only the amount of air needed for ventilation and latent load purposes, with the active chilled beams providing the additional air movement and sensible cooling and/or heating required through the induced room air and secondary water coil. In this manner, the amount of primary air circulated by the central system is signicantly reduced (often 75% - 85% less than conventional all air systems). Active chilled beams transfer a large portion of the cooling and heating loads from the less ecient air distribution system (fans and ductwork) to the more ecient water distribution system (pumps and piping). The net result of this shift in loads with active chilled beam systems is lower energy consumption and lower operating costs. Studies have shown that fan energy is the largest HVAC energy consumer in a typical commercial building. With active chilled beam systems, the fan energy is signicantly reduced due to the relatively low quantity and pressure of the primary air being circulated by the central air handling system.

Additional Benets
Improved comfort through excellent air movement and uniform air temperatures throughout the room, with little concern about potential drafts and dumping at part load conditions. As the airow and resulting air movement is constant at all load conditions and the induced room air is typically 3 - 4 times the amount of primary air, the temperature of the mixed air being continuously discharged into the room is moderate (generally 15 to 17 C in the cooling mode and in the 28 to 30 C in the heating mode). Air velocity in the room is also comfortable and constant. Excellent indoor air quality and odour control as the full ventilation air requirements are delivered to the zones at all times and at all load conditions. Superior humidity control at all sensible load conditions is also assured as the constant volume primary air is delivered with the proper moisture content to satisfy the room latent loads.

Very low noise levels are achieved when the active chilled beams are sized at the typical inlet static pressures of around 125 Pa or lower. DADANCO nozzles are whisper quiet as they rapidly induce secondary air to reduce the momentum and length of the primary air jet (penitential core zone) which signicantly reduces the noise generated by the nozzles. As there is no terminal unit fan or motor in or near the occupied spaces, the noise is further reduced when compared with the more conventional systems.
Conventional Nozzles DADANCO Nozzles

Space savings in the ceiling plenums and vertical air shafts simplify the system installation. The ductwork system size is greatly reduced and in some cases, the buildings oor to oor dimension can be reduced, lowering the buildings installed cost or yielding more rentable oors with the same building height. Additionally, the size of the mechanical room can often be reduced due to the smaller central air handlers required to serve the chilled beams. DADANCO Active Chilled Beams have signicant performance advantages which often result in less beams required, enabling architects to achieve cleaner ceiling layouts while providing the engineer with a high degree of design exibility in positioning the beams..

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS Primary Air System

There are a number of important issues aected by the primary ow rates, pressure and temperature chosen in the primary air system design including: Ventilation Air Requirements Primary Air Latent Cooling Capacities Risk of Over-cooling/Reheating Building Pressurization Control
Airow requirement reduced by 70%

70% of sensible heat removed by chilled beam water coil

Choosing the primary air ow rates and temperature requires considerable thought and judgment. Decreasing the primary air temperatures oers the opportunity to decrease fan energy consumption (within the limits of the ventilation air requirement) and increasing latent cooling capacities, while potentially increasing the risks of over-cooling/reheating.

Other design concerns with the primary air system design include: Air Handler/Ductwork Zoning and Resetting of Primary Air Temperatures Air Distribution Considerations Noise Level Requirements Heating

Secondary Water System

The elevated chilled water temperature entering the active chilled beam secondary water coils must be above the room design dew point temperature to avoid formation of condensate on the coil. Using the room design temperature of 24 C db/ 17 C wb (50% relative humidity), the room air dew point temperature is 12.8 C. In this case, the minimum entering chilled water temperature to the active chilled beams should be above 12.8 C (typically 14 to 16 C is used in practice). Choosing the secondary chilled water temperature is another area requiring considerable thought and judgment. A higher chilled water temperature will add to the margin of safety relative to condensation concerns and increase the hours when a water-side economizer can be used to serve the active chilled beams, but could have the eect of increasing the fan and pump energy requirements and unit costs.

Heating
The suitability of the use of overhead heating in any system (Active Chilled Beam, Fan coil, CAV or VAV, etc.) is dependent on the extent of heat losses along the perimeter and this loss determines which discharge arrangements may be appropriate. In general, overhead heating is acceptable if the heat losses are less than 384 W/m along the perimeter. When using overhead heating, it is also important to minimize the temperature dierential between the supply air and the room air, temperature dierentials of 8.5 C or less are recommended.

UNIT SELECTION
There are two methods for selecting DADANCO Active Chilled Beams a manual method using the performance table (page 14) along with the correction factors as shown in examples 1 through 8 and an optimized design method using the DADANCO computerized product selection program available as a free download from DADANCOs web site (www.dadanco.com). For assistance in using the computerized selection program or assistance in optimizing selections, please contact DADANCOs technical department as follows: - phone (001) 413 564 5657, - fax (001) 413 568 2969 or via e-mail at info@dadanco.com.

MANUAL SELECTION METHOD

The unit performance data in the performance tables in this publication are for the ACB40 (2-way discharge) ceiling-mounted cassette models only in both 2-pipe and 4-pipe coil congurations and the capacity ratings are based on a typical nozzle selection. For ACB50 (1-way discharge) selections as well as optimised ACB40 selections (where both the size/number of nozzles are varied to provide the exact performance required), please refer to the computerized selection program.

Ventilation Air
To begin your unit selection, determine the minimum ventilation air required for each zone (as prescribed by code such as ASHRAE Standard 62 in the USA).

Latent Cooling
Prior to selecting the active chilled beams, the primary air quantity and temperature must be determined to provide for adequate ventilation air (as set by code), as well as meeting the latent cooling capacity required for each zone. It is very important that both of these requirements are determined and satised by the primary air as the chilled beam can not provide additional ventilation and its heat exchanger coils should not be used for latent cooling. Using the ventilation air quantity as the Ceiling-Mounted Cassette Models primary air quantity, determine the latent Model Air Discharge Coil Conguration cooling being provided by the primary ACB40 2-Way 2-Pipe air based on the airow, room design and ACB40 2-Way 4-Pipe primary air temperatures chosen. Compare ACB50 1-Way 2-Pipe the latent cooling capacity being provided by ACB50 1-Way 4-Pipe the primary air to the latent load in each zone. Often times the primary air quantity and temperature will be driven by the latent cooling loads and more (or preferably colder/drier) primary air will be required than that needed solely for ventilation air purposes to satisfy the zone latent loads. Remember that the latent loads in an active chilled beam system must be fully satised by the primary air as insucient latent cooling could lead to condensation issues and we do not recommend that the beams coil is used for latent control of the space.

Active Chilled Beam Unit Type

The type of unit to be selected must be chosen. This publication includes data for the ceiling-mounted cassette model ACB40 (2 way discharge). For other DADANCO Chilled Beams, refer to the appropriate literature and the computerized selection program.

Quick Selection Cooling and Heating Capacity Tables

The performance data in the performance table is based on the following operating conditions:  24 C db/17 C wb room design temperature (50% relative humidity, 0.00925 kg Water/kg Dry Air humidity ratio)  12.0 C db/ 11.3 C wb primary air temperature (90% relative humidity, 0.00800 kg Water/kg Dry Air humidity ratio) 14.0 C entering chilled water temperature for cooling 50.0 C entering hot water temperature for heating 0.10 l/s water ow rate Sea level elevation

The correction factor tables (shown in the Examples 1 to 8) can be used to adjust the cooling and heating capacities listed in the performance table for operating conditions that dier from the above assumptions.

Sensible Cooling
The performance table shows the sensible and latent cooling capacities being provided by the primary air and the total sensible cooling capacity being provided using 2 or 4 pipe coils.

Throw and Sound Levels

Consult the Isothermal Throw and Sound Level section of the performance table to determine the beams terminal velocity based on throw and noise level. Use conventional air distribution application guidelines and code when considering the location of the active chilled beams. Assume you want to select an ACB40 2-way discharge 2-pipe beam with a total sensible cooling capacity of -1,450 W, the minimum ventilation requirement by code is 30 l/s and you wish to determine the beams length and the primary air volume / static pressure. Using the performance table on page 14, a total sensible cooling capacity of -1,486 W (-509 W from the primary air and -977 W from the secondary water coil) is provided by a 1200 mm unit using 35 l/s of primary air at a static pressure of 100 Pa. In this example, the sensible cooling is achieved and the primary airow required is above the minimum ventilation needed by code. Note: The amount of primary air must be sucient to provide the necessary ventilation air needed by code as well as being of sucient volume and moisture content to meet the latent cooling capacity requirements.

Example 1

This table shows the KPA correction factor to be applied to the performance table Primary Air Cooling Capacity (sensible) with TPA air temperatures of 10 C to 19 C. The data in the performance table is based on TRA - TPA of (24 C - 12 C) = 12 C and therefore the factor is 1.00.
TRA = Room Temperature TPA = Primary Air Temperature KPA = Correction factor applied to performance table primary air sensible cooling capacity.

provided by the primary air was -509 W. If the primary air temperature was lowered to 11 C (rather than the 12 C assumed in the table), the actual T is 13 C (24 C - 11 C TRA - TPA) and therefore the KPA correction factor of 1.08 needs to be applied to the primary air cooling of -509W to give a corrected sensible cooling capacity of the primary air = -550 W (-509 x 1.08) and a revised total sensible cooling from the 1200 mm beam of -1527 W (-977 + -550).

TCHW = Temperature Chilled Water TRA = Room Temperature KCHW = Correction factor applied to performance table sensible cooling capacity of chilled water determined as = Total Sensible Cooling - Primary Air Cooling Capacity

10

 Using the selection made in Example 2, the sensible cooling capacity being provided by the secondary cooling coil is -977 W. If the chilled water temperature was increased to 15 C (rather than the 14 C assumed in the table), the actual T is 9 C (24 C - 15 C TRA - TCHW) and therefore the KCHW correction factor of 0.90 needs to be applied to the secondary water cooling of -977 W to give a corrected sensible cooling capacity of the secondary water = -879 W (-977 x 0.90) and a revised total sensible cooling for the 1200 mm beam of -1429 W (-879 + -550). Note: The chilled water temperature must be above the room dew point temperature to avoid condensation issues.

Example 3

Heating
The Coil Heating shown in the performance table indicates the sensible heating obtained using 50 C hot water at 0.1 l/s (360 l/h) ow and a room temperature of 22 C. If the primary air temperature delivered to the beam during heating is at a temperature below the room design temperature, this oset (cooling from the primary air) must be accounted for in order to deliver the required heating load to the space. The coil output must therefore be selected high enough that when the oset is applied, the resulting output meets the room heating load. For primary air temperatures other than the 12 C, adjust the amount of heating oset by applying this formula: PA = V PA x 1.21 x (TPA TRA) Q
QPA = Primary Air Sensible Output (oset) VPA = Primary Air Volume TPA = Primary Air Temperature TRA = Room Temperature

Example 4 Using the selection made in Example 1 and the performance table on page 14, the

1200 mm beam provides 2736 W of heating from the coil, however, with primary air at 12 C, the total sensible heating capacity must be reduced by the oset , giving a heat output to the space of only 2,311 W (2736 + -425).

Example 5 Using the selection in Example 4, the sensible cooling being provided by the primary air is -425 W. If the primary air temperature was increased from 12 to 14 C, the corrected sensible heating capacity of the primary air using the above formula is 35 x 1.21 x (14 - 22) = -339 W.
The total heating provided to the space by the active chilled beam would therefore increase to 2,397 W (2736 + -339). This table shows the KHW correction factor to be applied to the performance table Coil Sensible Heating with THW Hot Water temperature of 30 C to 60 C. The data in the performance table is based on a THW - TRA of (50 C 22 C) = 28 C and therefore the factor is 1.00.
TRA = Room Temperature THW = Hot Water Temperature KHW = Correction factor applied to the performance table Coil Heating output.

11

 Using the selection in Example 5, the sensible heating being provided by the secondary water coil is 2,736 W. If the hot water temperature was decreased from 50 to 40 C , the actual T is 18 C (40 - 22 C THW - TRA) and therefore the KHW correction factor of 0.64 needs to be applied to the sensible heating capacity of the coil = 1,751 W (2,736 x 0.64) and the revised total heating from the 1200 mm beam with the oset applied is 1,412 W (1751 + -339).

COMPUTERIZED SELECTION METHOD

The DADANCO computerized selection program can be accessed and downloaded from our website @ (www.dadanco.com). The rst step in making chilled beam selections is to dene the Global Design Conditions of the project. This is done in the box at the top of the selection software, all parameters in red and blue are inputs. The beam model and coil type (2 or 4-pipe) must be manually chosen for each selection, but all other

parameters (beam length, primary air ow rate and pressure drop, water ow rates) can be automatically selected by the software. In the box below the Global Design Conditions, you input the upper limits to allow the program to make auto selections without exceeding this criteria.

The goal of each selection is to satisfy the zone loads which are input in the section below:

The auto select function will nd the optimal selection that satises the sensible load, heating load, and minimum primary air requirement, while not exceeding any of the maximum values set in the autoselection criteria. By default, the software sets the number of units in each zone to be one beam for every 1500 W of sensible load. If a dierent number of beams is desired, a new quantity can be manually entered. The selection software contains the full range of performance data for all available nozzle congurations, allowing the optimal beam selection to be found quickly and easily for every zone.

1) This data is based on the ACB40 Global Design Conditions on the previous page. 2)  Isothermal throw data is based on colliding airstreams where 2 beams are mounted at 3.0m AFFL and an occupied zone height of 1.8m, therefore, the throw gures are half the distance that the beams are spaced at (measured on centres) plus the vertical drop to the occupied zone, for example, 1800mm ACB40 @ 55 l/s @ 0.25m/s is 2.9m (from the table above) thus 2.9 - 1.2 (drop) = 1.7 (half beam spacing) x 2 = 3.4 so beams would need to be at 3.4m centres to give a terminal velocity of 0.25m/s into the occupied zone. Blank spaces indicate a throw of less than 1.5m. 3) Listed NC levels include a room absorption of 8 dB.
