The art of handling air

Good air is a factor in your quality of life. Whether outside in the

open air or in an enclosed space, we only feel truly well in the fresh air.

Air, the elixir of life, lets us breathe freely. It is invigorating, inspiring,

and gives us the energy to live and work.

TROX understands the art of competently handling airlike noother company. In close collaboration with demanding customers from

around the globe, we have successfully manufactured leading technolo-

gies and marketed systems and components for indoor ventilation and

air conditioning. We are consistently expanding upon this position by

means of intensive research and development activities.

The individual is the focus at TROX: as a customer with visionary

ideas and technological goals: as a motivated and qualified company

employee, as a responsible decision-maker at the management level

and, last but not least, as a human being who would like to live andwork in well-ventilated spaces.

Since our corporation was founded, we have stood by this philosophy

and vouched for our good name. Indicative of our solution-minded

approach, it has created our distinctive customer base and thus become

the source of our companys success.

On the following pages, we would like to introduce TROX and its

extensive product range. Please, take us at our word by challenging us

with ambitious tasks and placing trust in our competency and customer

oriented thinking! Share the experience:The art of handling air!

The individual remains the deciding factorin all

that TROX undertakes. The individual, by virtue of his

or her visions, wishes, needs, abilities, and knowlege,

defines the goals that TROX pursues carefully and

deliberately.

TROX is an owner-led companywith horizontal

hierarchies in which the individual has decision-

making powers. Consistency, reliability, and a mature

feeling of responsibility for customers, employees and

the environment have been the pillars of the TROX

GROUP company politics for decades.

It is the customers of TROXthat decide how the

company will act on their behalf. They set goals based

upon their well-being as well as their architecturaland technological visions, and TROX in turn assists

them in realising those goals. The customer-oriented

corporate leadership has made TROX what it is today:

a world-wide and effective partner for those

demanding ventilation and air conditioning solutions

for all types of buildings.

Each and every employee contributes to the success

of the company in that they earn the customers trust

with their motivation and competence, and then they

confirm that trust day after day. The targeted trainingand continued education of our employees, as well as

their lasting job satisfaction, are thus important

concerns of TROX management.

The individual is the deciding factor

A tradition of innovation

The history of the companybegan with an innovation:

the specialisation in components for ventilation

technology. In the air conditioning industry, which

was still quite young in 1951, this was a revolutionary

decision. Trailblazing inventions have since marked

the rise of the company to the leading position inmarketing and technology. Innovations themselves

are tradition with TROX. The company holds over 200

patents and registered designs in ventilation and air

conditioning technology.

The systematic research and development of the

individual product groups enjoys increasing expansion

based on project-related development contracts.

With its customer-specific solutions, TROX sets an

innovating standard and, with that in mind,continues to enter new and lucrative markets and

maintain sustainable business opportunities. As a

result, TROX, since the introduction of the first

ceiling induction diffusers in the 1980s, has been the

leading supplier of these multifaceted products in

Europe.

Did you knowthat air is our most important element of

life? A human being can live without food for

over a month and without water for about a

week, but without air a person can survive no

more than three to five minutes at the most.

And we need a lot of air to live! While we are

quite adequately supplied with two litres of

water per day, we breathe around 20,000 litres

of air each day. In a poorly ventilated room,

the air is quickly used up. The concentration of

carbon dioxide mounts rapidly. The results are

fatigue and decreased performance.

As an internationally active company, we have come into

contact with the most pronounced climatic and cultural

differences in various countries and regions across the world.

Whether in South Africa, the United States, Brazil, China, or

Northern Europe, TROX ensures a well-tempered atmosphere.

Each building is a world in and of itself. Airports, off ice

buildings, hospitals, laboratories, and concert halls each have

their own completely individual needs for climate control and

ventilation technology.

And last but not least, each technical application requires

specific know-how - whether it is a tunnel damper, a central air

handling unit, or a multifunctional chilled beam.

The Marqus de Riscal in Elciego, La Rioja, Spain

In the heart of the Rioja wine-growing region in northeastern Spain,

renowned architect Frank O. Gehry created a futuristic hotel with an

innovative roof construction with almost 1,800 m2 of free-floating

titanium sheathing. Rising up like a magnificent chateau of the

twenty-first century, the exclusive hotel near the old Bodega of

Marqus de Riscal, built in 1858, offers its discriminating guests a

breathtaking view of the landscape. The building has 43 rooms and

11 suites, an exquisite wellness area with an indoor pool and fitnesscentre, a gourmet restaurant, a convention and meeting centre,

ballrooms, and the future viniculture museum for the Rioja region.

For this architectonic masterpiece with its sophisticated concept of

space, TROX developed an economical ventilation solution for very

high demands. Ventilation units and air terminal units guarantee a

comfortable atmosphere in the entire building.

In this case, TROX jet nozzles and grilles guarantee an optimum,

Combination diffusers

Combination diffusers

Modern office buildings, which may for example have low energy

requirements thanks to use of concrete core cooling, require small air

exchange rates on the one hand, whilst providing very little room for

installing the ventilation on the other. In such situations, installing

combination diffusers into walls as a mixed or displacement flow system

is a compact and cost-efficient complete solution.

Displacement flow diffusers allow cooled fresh air to be discharged into

rooms at very low air velocity and close to the floor so that a pool of fresh

air forms over the floor. This prevents air turbulence and thus drafts. The

air rises when it reaches sources of heat such as people or computers,

transferring the heat and the used air to the ceiling. The fresh air quality

in the areas occupied by people thus remains at the same especially high

level while maintaining a pleasant set temperature. Displacement flow

diffusers can also be integrated into wall areas or as columns in a room to

save space. They are made of galvanised and powder-coated sheet steel

and available in a variety of constructions.

large rooms require high performance ventilation capable of fulfilling the

changing requirements of heating and cooling. TROX air terminal devices for

large rooms control the air discharge direction of the airstream either

manually or with an electric actuator, either discharging warm air downwards

or distributing cold air horizontally throughout the room. A variety of

configurations are available for every ceiling type, whether suspended or

flush. The diffusers are made of aluminium or galvanised sheet steel.

Powerful output, great comfort

In large rooms such as exhibition halls or airport terminals, providing

the desired comfort is always a technical challenge. High flow rates

have to be distributed into the room in such a way that the visitors

always have a fresh atmosphere without draughts independent of the

number of people and the current outdoor temperature. TROX masters

this challenge mainly using cleverly positioned jet nozzles that can blow

fresh air into the room without draughts.

Human beings are one of the biggest sources of humidity

indoors. We lose half a litre of water into the environment

each day through our skin alone.

Too much humidity makes us feel unwell and minimises

our ability to work. At room temperatures of 20 24C,

the body radiates about 20 35% of its excess heat by

evaporating sweat on the skins surface. As the

temperature rises, our sweat production increases as well,

and our cardiac and circulatory problems worsen. At

relative humidity levels of 60 70 % and temperatures

above 25C, we feel that the air is sticky and oppressive,

and our ability to work well falls to a minimum.

The new home of the European Investment Bank inLuxembourg

In the summer of 2008, the European Investment Bank (EIB) formally

opened its new home in Luxembourg. In the building having a double

faade, conservator, and atria, the approximately 1,600 employees of

the bank manage the constantly growing financing volume in the

27 EU member states and 173 partner countries.

In view of the pending climatic change and increasing energy costs,

the EIB has been aiming for environmental certification for the

evaluation of the ecological qualities of the new building from the

beginning. The result was particularly high requirements on the

environmental compatibility of the ventilation technology used.

At the same time, the most demanding requirements on further criteria

such as air quality, comfort, noise level, flexibility, spatial

requirements, maintenance-friendliness, and costs were to be met.

Thanks to the early involvement of TROX engineers, an extremely

economical ventilation concept consisting of 1,800 underfloorinduction diffusers (BID) was realised. Integrated unnoticeably into

the rooms architecture, these underfloor induction diffusers enable

the use of economical air-water systems, even in room-high glazed

buildings. The decision to use TROX underfloor induction diffusers

paid off. The new EIB building was the first building on continental

Europe to be evaluated as Very Good according to the particularly

comprehensive BREEAM environmental certification method.

Individual system design

Air-water systems use heat exchangers to cool and/or heat indoor air

by means of water-based heat exchangers. The system saves energy

because it takes less power to transport heat away in water than in air.

Air-water systems can be installed in open or suspended ceilings and

are very well suited for refurbishment projects. We differentiate

between active and passive chilled beams.

COMBEAM or multi-service chilled beams, the multifunctional air-water

systems from TROX, not only provide the normal heating, cooling and

ventilation functions, but can also be equipped with extra building

services, enabling space-saving integration of lighting, smoke

detectors, loudspeakers and sprinkler systems. COMBEAMs can also be

designed in the form of design elements to accentuate a buildings

architecture, for example, as ceiling sails or as inconspicuous ceiling

installations. The option of smooth integration into centralised buil-

ding communication and control systems is also possible.

Active air-water systems

In the case of active air-water systems, fresh air is

supplied to rooms from the central plant in addition to

water cooling. In comparison to pure air systems, the

fresh air volume required for a persons well-being can

be reduced to one-third. Because the system is based on

the principle of induction, no extra fans are necessary to

transport the air, thus saving energy and reducing noise

to an absolute minimum. Active air-water systems are

mostly called active chilled beams. These systems save

space because they allow you to reduce the size of the

central plant systems and supply ducts, and theirinstallation height is very low. They are operationally

reliable and low-maintenance because they do not

contain any moving parts. They run in both cooling and

heating mode, which means you do not need to install

extra static heaters.

The Laimer Wrfel building in Munich, Germany

In the Laim quarter of Munich near the downtown area, the Laimer

Wrfel (Cube of Laim) is a contemporary office building characterised

by its efficient use of space and individuality. The building has eleven

upper floors with about 1,900 m2 gross floor area and a multifunctional

circular floor, which also has a convention area and casino in addition to

shops.

Large plant rooms inside the building and branched, space-consuming

air duct works are made superfluous by the use of decentralised faade

ventilation units, thus increasing useful floor space.

The decentralised ventilation units of TROX/FSL are also designed to

save energy and be maintenance friendly, whereby the operating costs

are minimised.

At an early construction stage, 1,600 frames were integrated into the

outer faade. 800 frames were equipped with decentralised ventilation

units. They filter the supply air, provide for, ventilation, and heat reco-

very, and heator cool. To achieve the required heating and coolingcapacities, 540 additional frames were equipped with secondary air units

that can heat or cool the indoor air during pure secondary air operation.

The other 260 frames casings act as a reserve and are initially only

equipped with insulation boxes for noise and heat insulation.

They can later be retrofitted with TROX/FSL ventilation units.

The frame type of construction makes it possible to react to changes in

use in the office building in an fast, cost-effective manner.

More individuality with minimised investment

and energy costs

In our decentralised faade system ventilation (FSL) solution, we

integrate sound-absorbing ventilation units into a buildings exterior.

These units can be installed under sills or into walls or false floors.

They discharge fresh air into rooms and/or exhaust air out along the

shortest possible route.

Both in construction and in retrofitting, TROX decentralised, individually

controllable ventilation systems offer a rich variety of design options

for ventilating a building. Clients can install a complete decentralised

ventilation system or combine the decentralised supply air system with

a central extract air system. The product variation ranges from simple

flow devices to complex systems with heating and cooling functions

and integrated individual room regulation (FSL-CONTROL).

Decentralised ventilation systems provide numerous advantages.

Individual users can adjust the air quality and room temperature in

their rooms according to their own individual tastes. For investors,

TROX systems are economical, energy-saving and, above all, flexible

solutions that can be re-adapted at any time with very little work to

suit change of use.

In developing decentralised ventilation units, TROX takes its inspiration

from the inventiveness and design resourcefulness of architects to find

solutions in which functionality and design merge into an ideal whole.

With our cost-efficient prefabrication of faade elements, TROX

provides investors with integral construction, reduced installation

times and reduced interfaces.

Creative solutions for the refurbishment of

existing buildingsOffice complex in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Existing standard solutions in ventilation technology can often not be

used for the refurbishment of existing buildings. Here, companies that

can make state-of-the-art technology usable in traditional architecture

with creativity and flexibility are in demand.

In this area, TROX/FSL has been able to prove its capabilities, especially

during the refurbishment of an office complex in Frankfurt. For the

refurbishment of the air conditioning system of Feldbergstrae 35,a building in which the German representative of the British National

Westminster Bank AG has its headquarters, TROX developed a special

ventilation solution between the sill and the ceiling together with the

building owners and architect.

The spatial conditions and usage plans required a ventilation concept

that could make do without a horizontal air distribution system. Only

in this way could the setup of combination and open-plan offices

continue to be possible. In the research and development laboratory of

TROX/FSL, extensive flow tests were performed to meet the projectrequirements.

The advantage in the use of decentralised units was that no suspended

ceilings were required for ducts. The high flexibility through the single

room control and user-adapted settlement possibilities were an

additional advantage. Further examples for the decentralised sill

ventilation solutions of TROX/FSL are the Imtech Haus in Hamburg,

the Laimer Wrfel in Munich, and the Lighttower in Frankfurt/Main.

45/8043

Complex refurbishment projects confront planners of the technical

building equipment with sophisticated problems. Here, a special focus

is on optimum, modern air conditioning and ventilation technology. In

the process, decentralised ventilation units are increasingly forming

the starting point for innovative solutions since they offer great

freedom for design and fulfil modern usage requirements.

A decisive advantage lies in the lack of duct work. Decentralised

ventilation units are installed near or into the outer faade so that the

ventilation of the stories takes place directly via the outer faade. Thisleads to short transport distances with low pressure losses. At the

same time, the faade becomes an active component that can assume

further air conditioning functions.

Through the preassembly of individual components or complete,

multifunctional faade modules at the manufacturers factory, the

assembly and installation work on-site is strongly reduced.

If the user is not present, the units switch to standby mode or they are

switched off. The energy required for operation can be determined

simply so that the energy costs can be settled based on consumption.This motivates the users to use energy more sparingly since they can

actively sink their individual operating costs in this manner.

Supplementary air conditioning systemsIn many indoor climate concepts, ventilation systems are supplemented

by additional systems to achieve high and better comfort. Chilled

ceilings, for example, are particularly well suited for dissipating higher

thermal loads.

Decentralised ventilation -

a clever refurbishment alternative

Water as an energy-carryingmedium

FSL units dissipate thermal loads using an

air-water heat exchanger. Water as an

energy-carrying medium has a high specific

heating capacity and lower specific volume

than air. In comparison with a given air flow

rate, the same thermal load can be dissipa-ted as with a lower water rate flow. As a

result, the cross-sections of the transport

lines can be reduced.

This and the elimination of the duct works

can considerably reduce the transport energy

expended.

Fire damper in Moses Mabhida Stadium Durban,

South Africa

In Durban on the east coast of South Africa, the Moses Mabhida

Stadium is currently being built for the 2010 Football World Cup. It is

the second largest stadium of the Football World Cup 2010 and has

room for 70,000 spectators. Two large steel arches span the stadium

roof at a height of about 104 metres.

This skywalk, which can be reached by a cable car and a stairway with

550 steps, offers a spectacular view of the city and the Indian Ocean.

In addition to the athletic facilities, the stadium has a sports museum

and a sports institute. After completion, the stadium forms the focus

of the planned Kings Park athletic quarter.

In such large public buildings, special attention is always paid to fire

and smoke protection. This particularly applies for football stadiums in

which the safety of several thousand people must be guaranteed even

in case of a fire. In addition to numerous other components for

ventilation and air conditioning, TROX supplies fire dampers for the

high-prestige new construction project in South Africa.

Fire dampers have to close after a certain temperature is

reached, sealing off sections of a building to prevent the

spreading of fire and smoke. To prevent smoke from spreading

at temperatures below the temperature that triggers the

thermal release, fire dampers can also be closed by optionalsmoke detectors. Fire dampers require approval. TROX provides

the right fire damper with general building inspectorate

licence for every installation situation.

Smoke extraction dampers

Smoke extraction dampers are an important part of mechanical smoke extraction systems, which are meant to keep escape

routes, for example, free in case of fire. Smoke extraction dampers are all basically equipped with electric actuators and must

remain functional for over 25 minutes during a fire.

Type RM-0-3-D

The smoke detector has extensive self-monitoring

(dirt contamination, electronics) and must only be maintained

The application depends on the direction of air flow.

Permissible air velocity is 1 to 20 m/s.

Type RM-O-VS-D

This smoke detector has a wide range of functions for self-

monitoring (dirt contamination, air flow, electronics) and

only requires maintenance on an annual basis.

It is optionally available as a BUS-enabled version.

Permissible air velocity is 1 to 20 m/s.

Smoke detectors

Smoke detectors are used to detect smoke in ventilation systems.

Smoke protection dampers | Smoke detectors


Smoke protection dampers

Smoke protection dampers are used to prevent smoke from spreading in central ventilation plants with full fresh air systems to

systems in which the supply air is mixed with recirculated air and in older systems to make them smoke safe . They are not

suitable for taking over the function of fire dampers.


53/8051

More than 80% of the deaths that occur in fires are due

to smoke poisoning. In the toxic smoke, people lose

consciousness after only two to three breaths.Our lungs cannot withstand much, especially in conjunc-

tion with high temperatures; they start to become

damaged at 65C.

In nine out of ten cases, fires undergo a relatively long

initial smoldering phase in which they produce a great

deal of smoke but relatively little heat. 10 kg of foam, for

example, will produce a volume of flue and fire gases of

25,000 m3. Intact, well-coordinated fire safety systems

and modern building communication and control systems

will detect fires early, prevent smoke from spreadingwithin the building and exhaust the flue gas.

Solstice cruise ships of the Celebrity Cruise

For years, the Meyer shipyard has been building luxury liners for

exclusive cruises for the American shipping company Celebrity Cruise.

With Celebrity Solstice, which started its maiden voyage at the end of

2008, and its sister ships Celebrity Equinox (completion in 2009) and

Celebrity Eclipse (completion in 2010), the Celebrity Cruisess largest

and most luxurious ships ever are being built. Every ship is 315 metres

long and has room for 2,800 passengers.

More than 80% of the fully air-conditioned cabins have a balcony.

Wellness areas, spa landscapes, exquisite restaurants, and stages

provide for the well-being and entertainment of the passengers.

A ship places other demands on indoor ventilation and air conditioning

technology than a building. When the Solstice class luxury liners sail

the seven seas at 24 knots in every wind and weather and set anchor

in all climatic zones, the passengers on board should always enjoy a

consistently pleasant climate. For this reason, among other things,

particularly flexible volume flow control is needed. TROX has solved

this task very well with air terminal units of the Type RN,

RN stainless steel, and EN. In addition to the required flexibility, TROX

was also able to reduce the power consumption of the air conditioning

and ventilation system considerably.

System-powered air terminal units

This type of controller eliminates conventional balancing dampers and thus the

time-consuming and expensive work of balancing and adjusting the flow rates in

the building. With Types RN and EN controllers, the desired flow rate can be sim-ply adjusted manually using the scale located on the outside of the unit. These

air terminal units were designed for constant flow rates but are also available

with motorised flow rate adjustment.

The casing and the damper blade are made of galvanised sheet steel. In the case

of the Type VFC, the damper blade is made of plastic. The controllers are gene-

rally maintenance free. The plastic Type VFL volume flow limiter is easy to insert

into circular ducts. It limits the flow rate to the set value and maintains it at a

constant level within a close tolerances when changes in pressure occur.

Shut-off dampers are for ventilation systems in which areas

have to be isolated for certain operating situations for safety

reasons. Multileaf dampers are used to isolate and restrict the

air flow in ducts and other openings. External louvres providegood protection to keep rain, leaves, and birds from getting

into the supply and exhaust openings of ventilation systems.

Pressure relief dampers and non-return dampers are used to

isolate individual sections in ventilation systems.

When the fan is running, the blades open; the degree of

opening depends on the air velocity through the unit.
