Product catalog summary
Introduction
Monodraught's COOL-PHASE is an innovative natural cooling and ventilation system designed to enhance indoor comfort while reducing building operational costs. Established in 1974, Monodraught aims to cut the UK's carbon emissions from non-domestic buildings by at least 20% using this technology.
Key Features
The COOL-PHASE system is energy-efficient, utilizing a variable speed fan without compressors or pumps, requiring only a 5A single-phase mains supply. It ensures a healthy environment by monitoring air quality and providing fresh air, meeting thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and ventilation requirements without using refrigerants.
Benefits
COOL-PHASE offers low running costs, a modular design for various installations, and no need for external units, making it suitable for spaces with planning constraints. It provides a long-term solution with a 20-year design life and a 5-year warranty.
Applications
The system is applicable in commercial sectors, including retail, education, offices, and corporate environments. It can be installed in new or existing buildings, offering significant energy savings and improved air quality.
Projects
Successful installations include Bournemouth University, Anglia Ruskin University, and Sheffield Hallam University, where COOL-PHASE systems have demonstrated impressive energy savings, improved air quality, and reduced CO2 levels.
Operation Modes
COOL-PHASE operates in various modes, including recirculation and cooling, heat recovery, and outside air ventilation and cooling. It automatically adjusts to maintain optimal temperature and CO2 levels.
Controls
The system features wall controllers with temperature and CO2 sensors, allowing users to adjust fan speed and operation modes. Options include the Oval Controller for basic adjustments and the Touchscreen LCD Controller for a more detailed interface.
Conclusion
COOL-PHASE provides an effective, low-energy solution for cooling and ventilation, offering significant cost savings and environmental benefits. Its modular design and adaptability make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Introduction to COOL-PHASE System
The COOL-PHASE system enhances thermal comfort by managing thermal mass, using a heat exchanger and mechanical ventilation to store and release energy, reducing energy consumption compared to conventional systems.
System Functionality
The system uses Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to store and release thermal energy, combining free cooling and night-time ventilation to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy use by up to 90%.
Performance Analysis
A performance graph shows the system's effectiveness in reducing peak indoor temperatures compared to external temperatures and traditional air conditioning systems, offering substantial temperature improvements with lower energy consumption.
COOL-PHASE Hybrid System
The Hybrid system integrates high-efficiency air-to-water heat pumps with the COOL-PHASE system, enhancing temperature control and providing additional heating and cooling capacity, suitable for retrofitting existing systems.
Operational Modes
In summer, the system maintains CO2 levels by providing fresh air and cooling through thermal batteries and a Wet Coil Circuit. In winter, it maintains CO2 and temperature levels by mixing external and recirculated air.
System Specifications
The system offers various ventilation rates and thermal energy storage capacities, requiring specific duct sizes and ceiling heights. It includes user controls and optional BACnet connectivity for monitoring.
Benefits
The COOL-PHASE system is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and offers low running costs. It provides a healthy indoor environment without external noise or heat rejection, making it a sustainable solution for modern buildings.

COOL-PHASE Applications The COOL-PHASE system can be installed in all Commercial sectors; new buildings or retrofit to existing ones, from small modular areas to large open plan rooms. The system can be suspended below a ceiling (a floor to ceiling height of 2.6 m or greater is recommended for the Fascia System), within a false ceiling void, or to an exposed void where the unit and duct work is supplied in a matte black finish. Each COOL-PHASE system includes CO2 monitoring as standard and can accurately control the level of fresh air within classrooms to provide the ideal teaching environment....

COOL-PHASE Projects Sheffield Hallam University Sheffield A 90 person teaching room, situated on the Sheffield Hallam University campus, was causing problems for its occupants. Due to the room being on the tenth floor, the windows were restricted to a minuscule opening of only 100 mm. This lack of Natural Ventilation caused CO2 levels to peak at over 2000 ppm, and an average temperature of 25°C to be recorded, even in the winter months. Bournemouth University Bournemouth The Science Lecture Room at Bournemouth University was fitted with two COOL-PHASE units, discreetly positioned within the ceiling...

COOL-PHASE is an award winning, low energy, Modular Thermal Battery The thermal batteries form a modular heat exchanger. This allows heat to be transferred from the air to the thermal batteries, or vice versa. The thermal battery module has no moving parts and does not require any power, therefore, they are highly reliable, have a long life, and require minimal maintenance. Natural Cooling and Ventilation system that creates a comfortable, fresh and healthy indoor environment that can significantly reduce the running costs of buildings Air diffusers are built into the units to ensure air can...

Operation Modes During daytime the COOL-PHASE system monitors indoor and outdoor temperatures, internal CO2 levels and humidity. As temperatures and CO2 levels rise in the room through the day the systems will automatically ventilate the space. Cooling Modes Should the temperature in the room exceed a pre-set level, the system will provide cooling to meet the requirements of the space, varying the damper positions and fan speed: COOL-PHASE wall controllers are designed to be mounted within a zone and control up to 4 COOL-PHASE units, in a primary and secondary arrangement. Two version of the...

How Does COOL-PHASE Work? How Does it Work? Intelligent Thermal Mass The effect of adding thermal mass to a building is a well understood principle, effectively increasing the time that it takes heat gains to raise the temperature of the building. When combined with measures to control internal and external heat loading, it can be a very effective method of ensuring that the building meets requirements for thermal comfort. However during a period of hot weather, temperatures will invariably rise over time, as there is no method of actively dissipating the build up of heat. Therefore the effect...

COOL-PHASE Hybrid What is Cool-phase Hybrid? COOL-PHASE Hybrid is an innovative enhancement that links high efficiency air to water heat pumps with our natural cooling phase change material system through the use of a duct mounted Wet Coil Heat Exchanger and Heat Pump arrangement. Passive and natural design strategies are designed to take in to account; the buildings properties, the local weather conditions and the internal loadings such as electrical lighting and occupancy levels. When the weather is particularly hot, these design solutions may provide elevated temperatures above set point limits...
