Chilled Beam Design Principles
How is capacity measured?
•Tested & reported as an assembly
•Is not simply a sum of component capacity
•ASHRAE Standard 200
How is capacity certified?
AHRI Standard 1240/1241 certification program

Heating/Cooling Capacity & Air Distribution
• A chilled beam is a combination energy source
and air distribution system so the selection is
doubly important.
• The space air distribution is equally important
to capacity in determining the comfort level.
Poor air distribution will result in poor comfort
no matter how much capacity is available.

Coanda effect
2015-12-15
Thanks to the negative pressure, the air follows the ceiling instead of falling straight down when it leaves the module
When the air reaches the occupied zone, it has attained a temperature and speed that reduces the risk of draft
![Page 17: Establishing Primary Airflow in WBCS Systemstorontoashrae.com/resources/Documents/ASHRAE Chilled Beam...Primary Airflow Summary • The zone sensible cooling load should be between](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040922/5e9ce120eb42da16927fe023/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Diffuser nozzle design
• Beams have built in “Diffuser” technology
• Beam selection and placement to ensure comfort is
an important as when selecting diffusers
• “One big beam in a space may meet cooling load but
may not deliver the comfort that two smaller beams
would deliver”

• Fancoil, WSHP, GSHP and VRF need zone latent and sensible loads separate from outdoor air load
• WBCS need zone sensible load separate from zone latent load and outdoor air latent and sensible load

• The primary airflow rate must be the larger of;
• The air flow rate to meet the ventilation rate required
to deliver acceptable indoor air quality.
• The airflow rate to provide latent cooling in the zone.
• The airflow rate required to assist in meeting the zone
sensible cooling rate.

Primary Airflow Summary
• The zone sensible cooling load should be between 20 to 40 Btu/h·ft².
• The primary airflow will be most likely set by the zone latent load. A good range is 0.4 to 0.6 cfm/ft².
• A good office system has 1/3 of the load met by the primary air and 2/3 of the load met by the chilled beam coil.
• Assume an induction ratio between 2.5 to 3.5. Start with 3.

• The chilled water supply temperature should
be 2-3 °F above space dew point. 57 °F is a
common supply water temperature.
• The chilled water temperature range will be 4

Energy Analysis Summary
• Fan work is dominant
• Generally shifting sensible load to beams from primary
is more efficient
• Practical limitation on induction ratio (5) and primary
air temperature (53 °)
• Reheat increases operating cost – only do it if you
have to (schools)

Demand Control Ventilation Summary
• DCV increases chilled beam turndown from 3 to 1 to
10 to 1
• Improves occupant comfort
• Spaces are rarely at design occupancy
• DCV allows significant fan power savings
• DCV control can be based on
• Occupancy sensor (single occupant office)
• CO2 or VOC (modulating for multi occupant
spaces)
