Today’s class, “Non-conformist Ventilation”, was an opportunity for attendees to experience the Upside Down. Tom Gelin delved into the Stranger Things alternate universe to explain the critical aspects of Displacement Ventilation. And because we’re displacement fanatics around here, there were plenty of smoke videos! A very special thank you to our guest presenters from Price Industries and Ring & DuChateau, LLP | Consulting Engineers! #HVACTraining #DisplacementVentilation

Having personally been involved in helping design dozens of #chilled #beam projects in hot and humid areas across the U.S., here are a few of my thoughts on making these jobs work right… 🅰️ When designed and implemented correctly, buildings utilizing chilled beam technology can achieve remarkable levels of comfort and energy efficiency. 1️⃣ Addressing Common Misconceptions: One prevalent misconception is that chilled beam technology is unsuitable for hot and humid climates. In reality, with thoughtful design and control strategies, chilled beams can serve as an effective alternative to traditional HVAC systems, regardless of environmental conditions. 2️⃣ Active vs. Passive Chilled Beams: Chilled beams can be classified into two types: active and passive. Both configurations necessitate that building ventilation and latent loads are decoupled and managed separately, often through a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) unit. 3️⃣ Managing Humidity: Humidity control is crucial when using chilled beams. If the surface temperature of any cooling coil or beam dips below the local dewpoint of the surrounding air, condensation will inevitably occur. To mitigate this risk, the primary air system (DOAS) should supply dry air to the chilled beam, effectively managing both latent and ventilation loads while maintaining an indoor dewpoint typically below 55°F. The dryness of this air is influenced by the volume of primary air delivered and the load conditions within the space. 4️⃣ Optimal Chilled Water Temperature: Chilled water (CW) supplied to the beams must be kept at temperatures above the local dewpoint to prevent condensation. Generally, chilled water is delivered at temperatures ranging from 58°F to 60°F. When controlled properly, these temperatures help maintain beam surface temperatures above the dewpoint, minimizing the risk of condensation. 5️⃣ The Role of Solid Desiccant Dehumidification: Incorporating solid desiccant dehumidification into the DOAS can enhance performance. These units can utilize the same elevated chilled water temperatures as the beams, producing exceptionally dry supply air conditions that eliminate condensation concerns on chilled surfaces. This is particularly critical for overhead chilled beam terminals, where condensation can lead to significant operational issues. 6️⃣ Design Considerations for Success: While chilled beams require more intricate design considerations compared to conventional HVAC systems, their successful application in any climate is achievable. The key lies in meticulous attention to detail and collaboration among all stakeholders involved in the building’s design and implementation. ✅ By leveraging the expertise of engineers, architects, and contractors, chilled beam systems can be optimized to deliver superior performance, providing comfortable and energy-efficient environments for occupants. ❓What has been your experience with chilled beam jobs and what have you done to ensure a success.
