Swegon Adriatic active climate beam with cooling, heating and ventilation

The new Adriatic is an enclosed climate beam with integrated recirculated air opening in the face plate. Air is discharged into the room along the ceiling on both sides. Integrated variable air flow control distribution allows for simple adjustment at site. The beam is attractive with two different design option.

With increased high capacity, the new Adriatic can often replace another larger sized product.

Basic Operation

The Adriatic is a closed, active climate beam with 2-way air discharge. Cooling and ventilation or cooling, heating ventilation. The units does not contain a fan of its own but is driven by the pressure and flow generated by a centrally located air handling unit which means low sound level and excellent comfort in the room. Adriatic is designed for dry systems, i.e., without condensation and therefore does not require any condensate drainage system or any filter. The minimum number of moving parts and lack of filer guarantees very little need for maintenance.

ADRIATIC chilled beams operate according to the induction principle. A centrally located air handling unit distributes primary air via the duct system into the plenum of the unit and creates excess pressure. The excess pressure in the plenum forces the primary air through nozzles at relatively high velocity. When the primary air is distributed at high velocity through the nozzles, negative pressure is created in the space above the built-in heat exchanger (coil). The negative pressure draws (induces) the room air up through the heat exchanger where the air is treated as required.

Induction Process

Active chilled beams utilize the induction process to cause room air to pass through the chilled beam to heat and cool the air and create a comfortable environment.

The ADRIATIC has an attractive design and extremely low installation height that fits well in all types of room décor.
Since the ADRIATIC is a closed climate beam with integrated recirculating air opening in the face plate, it can be mounted directly against the ceiling without affecting circulation air slots.
The ADRIATIC combines the superior air discharge properties of ceiling units with the stringent design requirements of suspended climate beams. The discharge of air along the ceiling provides the optimal Coanda effect that is always the objective when it is desirable to maintain low air velocities in the occupied zone.
The connection components, valves and dampers are concealed in a simple manner by an attractive connection casing. The casing installed after the climate beam has been suspended and connected.
Swegon’s ADC air diffusers, which are standard, provide for the adjustment of the air throw performance of the climate beam.
Equipped with Swegons adjustable slot control with a turning knob for simple adjustment on site.
The Adriatic has variable k-factor setting and a large air flow range. The product is available as a CAV product with fixed k-factor and it can also be ordered as a VAV/DCV variant from the factory.

Anti Draught Control (ADC)

Delivering a comfortable environment is more than just heating and cooling the space, it requires well distributed air. Swegon Anti Draught Control (ADC) helps change air flow patterns for the best comfort level.

The goal of a well-designed and operated chilled beam system is to obtain even temperature distribution throughout the space and avoid drafting (too fast air movement). To achieve this, The Swegon ADRIATIC climate chilled beams contain ADC as a standard. ADC stands for Anti Draught Control, which enables the diffusion pattern of the distributed air to be set up to avoid the risk of draft.

A ADC consists of a number of sections with adjustable fins arranged in the outlet of the beam with a simple grip of the hand. The fins are adjustable from a straight setting to 40° air deflection to the right or left in increments of 10°. In this way, the fins can be set to an appropriate angle to direct the discharge air and create the desired air distribution pattern. The static pressure is not affected by ADC. The sound level increases slightly when the air deflectors are set for “V-shape”. For more information, see the Swegon Proselect program.

The standard setting for ADC is straight but the unit can be supplied factory-preset to a V-shape distribution pattern if desired.

Flexible air discharge with ADC

1- Climate beam with ADC set to V-shape
2 – Climate Beam with ADC set to L-shape
3 – Climate Beam with ADC set for avoiding obstacles

Swegon chilled beam ADC control

The ADRIATIC with ADC offers many benefits:

Shorter center to center distance between climate beams when higher capacity is required
Simple correction of the direction of air discharge
Easy to adjust the comfort setting on site
Great flexibility for future conversion

Certification

The Swegon ADRIATIC is Eurovent certified, which is your guarantee that all specified data has been confirmed by tests and has been validated. This includes data provided in Swegon’s selection software, ProSelect Web.

In Addition, the ADRIATIC chilled beam is certified by Intertek to UL 1995- Heating and Cooling equipment and CAN/CSA C22.2.

Applications

Adriatic is designed to be exposed in the space. The casing is finished in a variety of colors and has two different designs:

• Prisma, design section with a more traditional shape for a strict appearance
• Ellips, design section with a softer, rounder shape for a clam appearance The
different designs provide a choice to fit in with the interior design in the room.

The covers for concealing water and air pipes, if required, are available as optional accessories. Adriatic is well-suited for use in all types of rooms with waterborne climate cooling:

Offices and conference rooms
Hotels
Classrooms
Data Processing rooms
Bank premises
Restaurants

The ADRIATIC finished design makes it an excellent choice for open ceiling concepts. The beam can be mounted directly to the ceiling or suspended pendant style.

Heating

The heating function is intended for use only as a supplement if surplus heat is available; however, during shorter periods (like in the evening and at night), a certain amount of surplus heat will be needed. The supply air fan must be in operation for the additional heat to reach the room. The supply air is used for mixing the warm air with chilled primary air, which is why the temperature distribution in the room is completely dependent on the ratio between supply air and the capacity taken from the chilled beam. The heat is conducted along the ceiling. A temperature gradient of 9.7 °F is normally obtained between floor and ceiling.
