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 and where it mixes with the primary supply air. This mixture of air is then discharged into the space through ceiling slot diffusers. 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.
In multi-story residential and hospitality spaces, the BAW sidewall beams complement modern architectural styling and minimize installed space, as well as minimizing energy consumption. Superior comfort and near maintenance free operation of the BAW product family, combined with energy efficiency are an ideal solution in such demanding applications.
