Halton Rex Expander (RXP)

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Halton Rex Expander (RXP) is a compact chilled beam designed for suspended ceilings, offering 4-way air distribution. It ensures silent and comfortable room conditions even at higher cooling capacities.

Application Area
Suitable for cooling and ventilation in offices, hospital rooms, schools, and public spaces. It can be integrated into Halton’s demand-based ventilation systems.

Key Features
  • Active chilled beam with 4-way air distribution.
  • Adjustable airflow using manual CAV or motorised VAV with Halton Air Quality (HAQ) control.
  • Expanded throw pattern to corners for optimal room conditions.

Operating Principle
Primary supply air enters the plenum and is diffused into the room through nozzles and supply slots. The air jets induce ambient room air through the heat exchanger, cooling it via circulating cool water. The supply slots direct air jets horizontally along the ceiling to prevent draughts.

Halton Air Quality (HAQ) Control
HAQ control adjusts the rate of additional supply airflow. It can function as a Constant Air Volume (CAV) damper or a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system, eliminating the need for nozzle changes.

Key Technical Data
  • Max airflow rate: 57 l/s or 205 m³/h.
  • Dimensions: 600×600 mm or 1200×600 mm.
  • Max water pressure drop: 18.6 kPa.
  • Cooling capacity: Up to 1700 W.
  • Weight: 10–22 kg.
  • Typical static pressure: 50–100 Pa.
  • Water temperature: 14–20°C.

Features and Options
  • Product length options: 600 mm, 1200 mm.
  • Duct connection options: Straight, right, or left Ø125 mm.
  • Cooling coil type: Copper pipes with aluminium fins.
  • Nozzle types: C, D, E for different airflow needs.
  • HAQ control options: Manual or motorised.

Structure and Materials
  • Front panel: Pre-painted galvanised steel, white (RAL 9003).
  • Nozzles: Galvanised steel.
  • HAQ control: Painted galvanised steel.
  • Plenum and frame: Pre-painted galvanised steel.
  • Connection pipes: Copper, Ø12 mm.

Specification
  • Integral recirculation air path through perforated front panel.
  • Removable front panel for maintenance.
  • Four-directional air distribution.
  • Unit width: 595 mm, height: 220 mm.
  • Inlet duct diameter: 125 mm.
  • Pipework max operating pressure: 1.0 MPa.

Installation
The unit can be attached directly to the ceiling or suspended. The supply air spigot and water connections can be adjusted on-site. No anti-vibration protection is needed.

Commissioning
  • Cooling capacity adjustment: Recommended water mass flow rate is 0.02–0.10 kg/s.
  • Water flow rates balanced with adjustment valves.
  • Airflow rate depends on chamber pressure and nozzle selection.

Order Code
Example: RXP/E-1200-S2, TC=C, AQ=NA, CO=SW, ZT=N.

The air jets from the nozzles induce ambient room air efficiently through the heat exchanger, where the air is cooled by means of the cool water circulating in the heat exchanger. The supply slots direct the air jets horizontally along the ceiling surface, which prevents the feeling of draught. the Halton Rex Expander chilled beam In figure Operating principle of the Halton Rex Expander chilled beam, the blue arrows show the supply air coming through the supply slots.

Because there are no moving parts in the Halton Rex Expander chilled beam, no anti-vibration protection is needed when installing the unit or when connecting the unit to supply air or water circuit connections. It is recommended that the main pipelines of the cooling and heating water circuits are installed above the level of the heat exchanger to enable venting of the pipework. The maximum operating pressure for chilled/hot water pipework is 1.0 MPa. Commissioning Adjustment of the cooling capacity The recommended cooling water mass flow rate is 0.02–0.10 kg/s, resulting in a temperature rise...

control included, also the position of the HAQ control must be taken into account. The chamber pressure can be measured from a measurement tap under the front panel. The total airflow rate is calculated using the formula below. Total airflow rate Airflow rate [l/s] or [m³/h Measured static chamber pressure [Pa] Determined according to the table below [l/s]. If calculating m³/h, multiply by 3.6.
