lindab | we simplify construction Active chilled beam Solus Great effect through induction Solus is based on the induction principle. Ventilation air is released through the nozzles into a dispersal zone, thereby creating a low static pressure. The low pressure causes the room air to be induced into the ventilation air through the coil. The volume of the room air is two to seven times that of the ventilation air. The air is cooled or heated as it passes through the coil, which consists of aluminium fins with copper pipes filled with running water. While passing through the coil, the induced room air will either be cooled or heated, according to the need in the room. High temperature cooling The Lindab Solus beam presents a whole new perspec- tive on cooling, heating and ventilation. Minimizing the figures on the energy account, by reclaim- ing the cooling and heating energy in the AHU air temper- ature recovery unit is a natural part of any ventilation sys- tem of today. Why not do the same on the water circuit? Compared by weight, water can carry approximately 3400 times as much heat energy as air. In most buildings, the need for cooling and the need for heating are two independent factors that do not have a direct relation to each other. There may be a need for cooling on the south façade and a need for heating on the north façade at the same time. Normally this scenario will be handled by running a cool- ing and a heating unit at the same time, to cool the rooms facing south and heating the rooms facing north. But why not use the in-house energy, by distributing the excess heat energy from the south façade to the north façade? Previously no system has been able to deliver this func- tionality, but with Lindab Solus it is now possible. By running an inlet temperature of 20-23°C, and an out- let temperature of 21-23°C for both heating and cooling, the energy needed to sustain the running temperature will in many cases be provided by the building itself. The specific temperature set will be dependant on the season. The temperatures should be defined for Winter, Summer and Autumn+Spring. Water coming back from the warm southern façade, will be mixed with the colder water from the north façade, thereby creating the desired output temperature once more. In some cases it may be necessary to run either a cool- ing or heating unit to achieve an optimal output tem- perature, but it will never be necessary to run both at the same time with the Lindab Solus system ever again. The result: Gain a great indoor climate, while saving both money and the environment. Lindab Solus can be combined with any conventional heating or cooling source, including air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps.
