Chilled beams aren’t just for office towers—they’re making inroads into controlled industrial environments, too.
What is a Chilled Beam System?
It’s a ceiling-mounted heat exchanger that uses chilled water to cool a space via convection (and sometimes active airflow). There are passive and active versions depending on airflow needs.
Industrial Benefits:
- Quiet Operation: No fans in passive beams.
- Energy Efficient: Water moves heat more efficiently than air.
- No Recirculated Air: Ideal for cleanroom-adjacent or sensitive spaces.
Considerations:
- Humidity Control is Essential: Excess moisture can cause condensation.
- Higher Ceiling Required: Best in spaces with at least 2.7m clearance.
- Initial Cost: Higher than traditional air-based systems.
Ideal For:
Industrial labs, manufacturing offices, and R&D spaces.
