For Consulting Engineers: Suitable for new constructions or retrofits, AHRI-certified, and versatile for multiple applications.
For Contractors: Reduced installation time and minimal maintenance requirements.

Technical Specifications and Features

ActivAIR™ systems use 358 induction beams in office areas to provide individualized control of heating and cooling, ensuring consistent thermal comfort and air quality.
The system reduces energy consumption and floor-to-ceiling height requirements, leading to construction and operational cost savings.
ActivAIR™ units are designed for quiet operation with draft-free air delivery, making them ideal for environments where occupant privacy is important.
The system uses smaller air handling units (AHUs) than traditional VAV systems, reducing ducting sizes and initial costs.

Performance and Certification

ActivAIR™ provides both sensible and latent cooling, offering more capacity per unit than sensible-only chilled beams.
Coils are independently tested and certified by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and ETL® Intertek® for performance verification.

Design and Operation

ActivAIR™ features an integrated drain pan to manage condensation risks, allowing the use of chilled water below room dewpoint for increased cooling capacity.
The system's unique air distribution design ensures uniform temperature without stratification, requiring only a simple thermostat for operation.

Conclusion
Carrier's ActivAIR™ Induction Beams offer a cost-effective, efficient, and comfortable solution for modern building climate control, suitable for a wide range of applications from educational institutions to healthcare facilities.
