Fläkt Woods - CEILING VOID CHILLED BEAM CASSETTE LAUNCHED
Fläkt Woods has launched
its Flexicool® cassette chilled beam, the IQCA. The size
of a 600 mm x 600 mm ceiling tile, the new unit enables
a much more conventional ceiling layout to be used,
allowing a very similar arrangement to that associated
with fan-coil systems.
Intended fo r easy installation into a standard ceiling
grid, the IQCA uses a one-piece structural chassis. It
has a covered upper side and it is intended for
integration within flush-mounting suspended ceilings.
The unit has dimensions adapted to a false ceiling
module of 600 mm x 600 mm. Air connection is at 125 mm
and fittings are fastening brackets for quick and easy
mounting: lift up, snap on and suspension rods.
Combining the benefits of active chilled beam technology
with the flexibility of fan coil systems, the new unit
is cost-effective to run and has no moving parts,
resulting in quiet operation and minimal maintenance
requirements. Connecting the IQCA ceiling cassette is
straightforward and provides a great degree of
versatility for installation in a constrained building
structure.
IQCA has a very high cooling capacity due to its high
induction ratio. The beam is a two-pipe unit which
provides both cooling and ventilation, fulfilling most
needs for indoor climate. The four-pipe cooling and
heating version will be launched in March 2008. This is
designed to manage high cooling effects that, because of
good mixing with room air, provides excellent comfort
and low air velocities within the occupied zone.
These combinations give flexibility when dimensioning
the indoor climate. Uniquely, it is also equipped with
Coanda Safety Control (CSC), which can be varied between
high, normal and low settings. This function, necessary
in low air flow situations to provide a good indoor
climate, improves adhesion of the air stream to the
ceiling. Air flow can be adjusted by means of a patented
comfort control function; this variable geometry device
can increase the induction ratio providing greater
cooling. The comfort control can be adjusted after
installation to meet the demands of office churn and to
provide greater flexibility.
Commenting on the launch, Mike Beeton, Fläkt Woods UK
chilled beam product manager said: “We are focused on
greater energy-efficient systems, especially in the
light of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD),
and this has naturally led us to design more water-based
cooling systems, as the energy needed to provide the
cooling requirement is less than air-cooling. This is
why the IQCA chilled beam is such a good solution,
offering a proven, flexible and practical solution to
all of these issues.”
In addition to the energy efficiency and sustainable
qualities, it has a low maintenance cost over the
system’s entire lifecycle adding cost-effectiveness to
its other attributes.
BSRIA has reported that the market grew by 33% in 2006,
with an increase of 40% in 2007. Further rises in the
value of the market are predicted to follow for 2008/09.
