Passive chilled beam
ISM SAS International

Chilled Beams, both active and passive, can be integrated or work in conjunction with any ceiling system to provide energy efficient comfort cooling. Passive beams use natural convection, as hot air rises, it is drawn toward the passive beam. It is then cooled before returning downwards. Passive Beams can be integrated within a ceiling in conjunction with various ventilation systems. Alternatively in order to offset solar gains from glazed facades, perimeter passive beams can be installed to work in conjunction with Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings. Active Chilled Beams can be integrated within metal ceilings, they incorporate a air diffusion unit, which introduces conditioned air to the occupied space. Air is supplied via a series of nozzles, which induces warm air into the beam to be cooled.
