PRIMO Chilled Beam

The perimeter wall system PRIMO in many ways represents a completely new way to construct a perimeter wall system. With minimal space requirements, PRIMO provides all functions that a climate system features. The entire system is installed against the facade, which means that no installation space is required on the floor, ceiling or in the corridor.

The PRIMO is an active chilled beam with one-way air distribution. The units do not contain a fan of its own but are 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. The minimum number of moving parts and lack of filter guarantees very little need for maintenance.

The PRIMO 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 plenum is equipped with a number of sliding strips that in turn contain a row of nozzles of various sizes. The excess pressure in the plenum forces the primary air through the 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.

The PRIMO Chilled beams can provide ventilation, cooling and heating. The PRIMO chilled beams can be used in new build, extension or refurbishment of offices, conference facilities and hotels. They are an excellent solution for retrofitting induction systems that offer the same thermal comfort with much less noise and greatly reduced static pressure. The lower static pressure can offer significant energy savings.

The PRIMO Chilled beams can provide ventilation, cooling and heating. The PRIMO chilled beams can be used in new construction or retrofits.  They are an excellent solution for retrofitting induction systems offering the same thermal comfort with greatly reduce sound levels.  PRIMO units use as little as 25% of the static pressure found in traditional induction systems.  The reduced static pressure offers a significant energy savings.  PRIMO perimeter systems are well suited for use in all types  of rooms with waterborne climate cooling and heating;

• Offices and conference rooms
• Institutions
• Hotels
• Classrooms

The PRIMO base unit consists of a 2 or 4 pipe coil in five sizes. The units can be connected end to end and share a single air connection from either end. This is advantageous when the air connection is from an adjacent wall or column.

The number of Nozzles can be field adjusted to meet cooling and heating requirements now and in the future.

It is also possible to bring water and air connections up through the floor to the PRIMO units. The air can feed units on both the left and right side.

The customer enclosure can come with a range of discharge air grilles including fixed blades, adjustable blades and extruded aluminum bar grilles.

PRIMO enclosures can be for a single unit along a wall.

The PRIMO chilled beam can also be used for raised floor applications.  The PRIMO unit includes a turning vane to direct the airflow upward to a slot diffuser installed In the raised floor.

PRIMO Chilled beams can be applied overhead to deliver supply air down the exterior wall.  This can free up valuable floor space next to the exterior wall.  The PRIMO beams can be completely inverted or mounted horizontally if ceiling height is limited.
