Krueger active chilled beams benefit from the use of using hydronic coils and induced air to reduce energy consumption associated with removal of sensible thermal loads. The primary air is supplied to the chilled beam subsequent to it being discharged through a series of
nozzles located along the length of the beam. The nozzles inject the primary air into the mixing chamber at velocities capable of inducing plenum or soffit air through the water coil, where it mixes with the primary supply air. This mixture of air is then discharged into the space through bar grilles. This provides high cooling outputs with low amounts of primary air. The reduced volume of air results in the reduction of the air handler capacity and size, smaller duct sizes, and the overall energy consumption.
The BAB bulkhead beams are the ideal solution for single room hospitality spaces, such as hotel, dorm, and hospital rooms. With their shallow height, ceiling heights can be maximized creating an open and inviting space. Bulkhead chilled beams are great for use in retrofit of buildings which were not originally built with HVAC systems installed.
