Evaluating and Optimizing Chilled Beam Performance

摘要

Chilled beams are gaining popularity in North America, so engineers are establishing better models and methods for their performance. Terminal unit geometry of active chilled beams is one area where researchers are improving efficiency. As chilled beam systems continue to take root in facilities vying for greater energy efficiency, scientists are learning more about how valuable they are and how to best optimize them. Two recent studies identify the performance of each type of system - passive and active chilled beams.
