Active chilled beams – Series VFK 600 - 4

General Features Advantages The VFK are terminal units for central air conditioning ins- tallations that provide solutions to meet the needs of the following: - Ventilation achieved with primary air - Cooling, based on the primary air itself and the water circulation coil Heating, based on a water circulation coil - Control. Possibility of individual or combined unit control by room or area, using control and regulation valves in the unit to adjust the water volume and room thermostats. - Air diffusion based on linear slot diffusers that ensure effetive air diffusion.

General Features VFK 600 Description The VFK 600 ceiling-mounted induction terminal units (also known as active chilled beams) for two-way air diffusion are used in airwater systems to provide a high level of comfort in interior environments with high internal thermal loads in cooling operation. The units include the following components: Active Chilled Beam, lateral primary air connection - Hinged perforated front face, used as access for unit cleaning. Available in different perforation designs. - Nozzle control mechanism, to configure different air discharge patterns in the nozzles. -...

Installation - Fastening The VFK 600 units include a series of hanging brackets on the two upper longitudinal sides of the beams, as shown in the following photographs. There are two brackets per side in sizes 600 to 1800 and three in sizes 2100 to 3000. These brackets have a slot hole to hold a Ø6 mm threaded rod, which is first attached to the ceiling slab to hang the unit. Access rack The induction grille or front perforated rack can swing 90º by operating small latches on the side of the rack or by complete removal using the locks. This provides access to the interior of the chilled...

Nozzle Control Mechanism As an optional accessory, the unit can include a nozzle regulation mechanism (-SR). In this case, the chilled beams would be fitted with the two nozzle types or sizes, in which different air discharge configurations can be combined, making the installation highly flexible and able to adapt to various changes, situations or applications. The system allows the following nozzle configurations or types: - Position 1: Closure of all nozzles prevents the air from flowing out in one or two directions of the chilled beam. - Position 2: M-type large nozzle opening, to move...

Air deflectors As an optional accessory, the VFK 600 chilled beams can be fitted with air deflector slats (-DF) manufactured of M1 plastic, longitudinally built into the diffusers. By modifying the position, the air jet can be adjusted to different directions, making it a highly flexible unit to adapt to different situations in the installation. This makes it possible to handle obstacles, to broaden the width of the air jet and to slow the velocity of the jet over a specific throw, in short, to ensure an environment free of air currents. Several applications are shown below in the following...
