Summary

Active chilled beams are becoming popular with design consultants as a means of managing large sensible cooling loads with excellent energy performance and low acoustic signatures. This type of active chilled beam is generally installed within a T-bar ceiling grid and is often supplied in 1 ft or 2 ft (300 or 600 mm) widths, and lengths ranging from 2 to 10 ft (0.6 to 3.0 m). Active chilled beams provide the advantage of a substantial sensible cooling effect, often by using as little as only the required ventilation air.
