Application of the Active Chilled Beam in Air-conditioning Engineering

Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of the active chilled beam in energy saving of air conditioning systems. The application of chilled beam can improve the thermal comfort of indoor environment and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning operation to achieve building energy saving. Because of the special working principle of the chilled beam, the cooling and heating capacity of the chilled beam is relatively weak, especially for the curtain wall building with large cooling and heat load of the air conditioning. If the chilled beam scheme is adopted, the floor convection is needed at the glass curtain wall in order to ensure the thermal comfort of indoor air conditioning and achieve building energy saving.
