Frenger Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of the FTF Group and is trading with the United States of America as FTF Group Climate. Frenger Systems is a renowned specialist manufacturer of space conditioning products for indoorclimate/environments.Frengerhasextensiveexperiencedatingbacksome80yearsandisattheforefrontof the design, development and manufacture of water driven cooling and heating technologies. Over the years Frenger has earned an enviable reputation as a dependable supply partnercapableofdevelopingeffectivespaceconditioningsolutionsforthemostcomplexofprojects.

ThePhotometrictestlaboratoriesatFTFGroupareusedto evaluate the performance of luminaires. To measure the performance, it is necessary to obtain values of light intensity distribution from the luminaire. These light intensity distributions are used to mathematically model the lighting distribution envelope of a particular luminaire. This distribution alongwiththeluminairesefficacyallowsforthegenerationofa digital distribution that is the basis of the usual industry standardelectronicfileformat.Inordertoassesstheefficacyoftheluminaireitisarequirementtocomparetheperformance of the luminaire against either a calibrated light sourceforabsoluteoutputoragainstthe“bare”lightsourcefor a relative performance ratio.

This chilled air, which then becomes heavier, then streams through the punched louvres in the radiant beam and percolates through the small ceiling perforations into space below (when concealed). In this way air is circulated within the room, with warm air from the room space being continually replaced by cooled air.

In addition to this convective process, the cold surfaces of the beam also absorb heat radiation from the building occupants andthewarmersurroundingsurfaces.Theradiantquotientisapproximately40%ofthetotalcoolingeffect(theother60%ofcoolingbeinggeneratedbytheconvectivecoolingeffectdescribedabove).Theabilityofour“Radiant”/ConvectivePassiveChilledBeamtoalsocoolbyradiantabsorptionmeansthat,whencomparedtoafinnedtubebattery,ourbeamcandeliver40%morecoolingwithoutanyadditionalriskofdraft.

Introduction&OverviewTechnical Advancements of Chilled Ceilings

Static cooling systems (chilled ceilings) have, over the past 40years,proventhemselvescapableofdeliveringhighlevelsof occupancy comfort at reduced running costs. Frenger designed, supplied and installed the “World’s Largest Radiant Chilled Ceiling” system in 1962; the 175,000 square meter, 27 stories high, Shell Oil headquarters, situated on the River Thames in London. This building was alsothefirstfullysealedairconditionedbuildinginEuropeand was revolutionary at its time as this Frenger Chilled Ceiling used the River Thames water to cool the building down. This was achieved by pumping in cool water from upstreamtoasecondaryheatexchangerwhichinturncooled(tookheatoutofthebuildingby“Radiant”absorption)thebuilding down, then depositing the warmer return water from thesecondaryheatexchangerdownstream.This installation is still operating after nearly 50 years and is a testament to the integrity of the product and to Frenger’s design capabilities. Sincethistimethecoolingrequirementsforatypicalofficeenvironment have increased considerably; higher occupancy densitiesandamuchhigherusageofITequipmenthaveallfueledthisincrease.Itbecameapparentinthemid1990’sthat the cooling capacity of a traditional chilled ceiling was not sufficienttomeettheseincreasedheat-gains,andconsequentlyhigher-capacitypassivechilledbeamfincoilbatterieswereintroducedintoperimeterzonestooffsetthesolar load generated at the building façade.

Thesesolutionsarebothenergyefficientandverylowmaintenance and provide high levels of radiant absorption which is the best form of cooling possible.

Should, however more cooling be required than that of a traditional first generation chilled ceiling then see pages 10 and 11 for Frenger’s hybrid of a radiant chilled ceiling and a passive chilled beam to provide the high cooling duties achieved with passive chilled beams, whilst maintaining a good level of radiant absorption (approximately 40% radiant absorption) for improved occupancy comfort.
