Tiivistelmä
The subject of the project was a research about the modern chilled beam technology.
The thesis starts with literature review. In the first part it contains theoretic base for clear un-derstanding of chilled beam technology. It includes definitions of chilled beam, principle of operation, main characteristics, and heat transfer methods. In the second part there is practical knowledge for designing systems with chilled beam. This research is aimed to become an introductory text for Russian HVAC designers.It discusses operation scheme, requirements to room constructions, requirements to location, rules for selection etc.
Chilled beam is a modern device for ventilation and cooling or heating where there are re-quirements for individual regulation of the temperature. The main purposes of chilled beam using are cooling and ventilating of air. This air conditioning unit provides excellent thermal comfort with good energy efficiency. It has some advantages over the other air-water systems and over all-air VAV systems that were described in my thesis. The maintenance is easy and needs less human resources than other systems. Also this system is adapted for free cooling and sustainable heat source. The active chilled beams can remove large amounts of sensible heat and at the same time this system reduces primary air flow requirement. Also integrated services can be used. The lifecycle cost of chilled beam system is low.
The research has shown that the chilled beam system is very useful to provide excellent work-ing environment that has a good effect on the health of people and their productivity.
