Specification

u003cpu003eThe Halton CaBeam units have been specifically designed for silent cabin comfort with sophisticated air treatment and control. The Halton CaBeam is available as an exposed, recessed or integrated installation.u003cbr /u003enThe exposed CaBeam unit is an active chilled beam solution for demanding marine applications. The active chilled beam system employs fins to help heat and cool. The system is effective to the point where outdoor air can be mixed with the indoor air without any traditional air conditioning (such as heating, cooling, humidifying, or dehumidifying), allowing the building/ship to meet its u0026#8220;minimum outdoor airu0026#8221; air quality requirements.u003cbr /u003enThe active chilled beam system requires much less energy to achieve the same heating and cooling effect as a traditional HVAC system.u003cbr /u003enThe beam acts as a radiator chilled by recirculated water. The warm air rises and is cooled by the chilled beam; once it is cooled, the air falls back to the floor, where the cycle starts over. The ventilation air is delivered to the beam by a central air-handling system via ductwork.u003c/pu003en

Features

u003cpu003eThe cooling philosophy of the beam is based on dry cooling.u003cbr /u003enControls and functionality are designed to eliminate the risk of condensation and to provide the highest energy-efficiency possible. Cabin door or openable window can be equipped with switches to indicate an open/close position and connected to the Halton CaBeam automation.u003cbr /u003enThe system can communicate with the operating crew for IEQ, as well as, energy-efficiency and is suitable for network communication (selected parameters).u003c/pu003en

Function

u003cpu003eThe supply air enters the plenum of the active chilled beam, from which it is diffused into the room through nozzles and the supply slot located on the top of the beam.u003cbr /u003enThe supply air nozzle jets efficiently induce ambient room air, which is then directed horizontally along the ceiling surface. The secondary air is drawn through the perforation located at the bottom of the beam. The air is then cycled through the heat exchanger, where it is either cooled or heated before being diffused into the room.u003cbr /u003enThe cooling capacities of the active chilled beam are controlled by regulating the water flow rate according to the control signal of the room temperature controller.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eu003cimg loading=u0022lazyu0022 decoding=u0022asyncu0022 class=u0022alignnone wp-image-32835 size-fullu0022 src=u0022https://www.halton.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG.pngu0022 alt=u0022Function of the Halton CaBeam Chilled Beam for Exposed Installationu0022 width=u00222048u0022 height=u00221536u0022 srcset=u0022https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG.png 2048w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-1024×768.png 1024w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-1440×1080.png 1440w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-768×576.png 768w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-1536×1152.png 1536w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-10×8.png 10w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-450×338.png 450w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-800×600.png 800w, https://www.halton.com/app/uploads/2020/08/CBH_function_BG-1920×1440.png 1920wu0022 sizes=u0022(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048pxu0022 /u003eu003c/pu003en

u003ch3u003eCoolingu003c/h3u003enu003cpu003eThe recommended cooling water mass flow rate is 0.03-0.10 kg/s, resulting in a temperature rise of 1-3°C in the heat exchanger.

This could cause condensation on the surface of the beam coil. We are to prevent this undesired condensation by temperately heating the cooling water flow with 3,5 kW heater to raise beam coil surfaces above the dew point. This function is activated by the balcony door switch. Together with heating, the cooling valve is driven toward a closed position. Return water temperature is monitored by a sensor and when it reaches the desired level above the dew point the cooling valve is closed completely to prevent unnecessary heating of the cooling water circuit. When the balcony door remains open the cooling water circuit remains closed and coil surfaces remain above the dew point. The use of the condensation sensor and humidity sensor has been tested.u003cbr /u003enRelative humidity of air might also rise when the shower is on long periods and the toilet locker door is open.u003c/pu003en
