Consideration for minimising draught discomfort in rooms with active chilled beams.

Author(s) : TRUE J., ZBORIL V., KOSONEN R., et al.

Summary

Active chilled beams are an air-conditioning solution for ventilation, cooling and heating. By careful design the solution can result in a comfortable indoor environment with a high degree of individual control at a low operational cost. During the design process draught risks should be analyzed since many factors can influence the resulting airflow pattern from chilled beams. The paper focuses on the factors affecting the thermal comfort in a room ventilated by chilled beams. Both experimental results as well as theoretical considerations are included in the analysis. Practical guidelines for minimizing draught risk are given and features of active chilled beams are described in the paper.
