Cumulus is a powerful climate beam in a small format with high capacity and a wide operating range, developed to ensure maximum performance. Cumulus creates a good and energy efficient indoor climate through its displacement ventilation principle. Cumulus is mounted integrated into standard suspended ceilings or other types of ceilings. Cumulus has a wide range of applications and can be used both in the large rooms and cellular offices. Function Cumulus is a ceiling mounted oneway blowing chilled beam with cooling and ventilation, using the wall for supplying air in the occupied zone. Cumulus is designed to use the Coanda effect, to create a thin vertical airflow along the wall, which allows the fresh air to efficiently reach the occupied zone. By interacting with the thermal driving forces from heat sources, Cumulus creates an energy efficient indoor climate where fresh air is efficiently supplied to the people in the room, while heated and polluted air can rise and leave the room with the exhaust air. This creates the best possible indoor climate, but also requires less resources than a traditional mixing ventilation system. Construction Cumulus is a climate beam with a construction of galvanized steel sheet and a battery (for cooling or heating) in copper and aluminum. Cumulus can as a standard be connected with the air from both sides (dy), where one connection is provided with a cover. At high air volumes should both connections be used, to reduce the noise level. Cumulus induce the room air through a perforated surface on the bottom of the beam. The devices are preset at the factory for proper flow and pressure. Stratification of the air temperature in the room gives a higher difference between the supply air and exhaust air temperature, which means that a higher heat effect can be taken away with the same amount of air as for a mixing ventilation system. The result is simply a better thermal indoor climate. Examples placement of Cumulus in offices 1
Material Cumulus is classified as green in Byggvarubedömningen and fulfills corrosivity category C2. For full material specifications, download our building product declaration for Cumulus. Cumulus is as standard powder coated in RAL9003, a high surface finish and good impact and scratch resistance. Mounting Cumulus is designed for integrated mounting in suspended ceiling grid systems, but can also be folded into other types of ceilings or mounted freely suspended. See installation instructions. Cumulus is mounted with a distance of 0-900 mm from the wall for best performance. Wall max 900 Adjustments Cumulus can be delivered preset for specific pressure/airflow. If necessary, assembled dampers or similar can be used to adjust the flow (of one or more chilled beams). Adjustments is subsequently made in place by plug or unplug nozzles. The water circuit is controlled by means of valves and actuators, which are connected to a room control, which can control one or more beams parallel. See separate documentation for room control and adjustment of water flow. Maintenance/cleaning Cumulus does not contain any moving parts and are easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Nozzles and battery are easily accessible after the bottom plate has been removed. Duct system is cleanable via the attracted air connection, which can be used unless both sides are connected. Coil fins are carefully cleaned with vacuum cleaners fitted with a soft brush attachment. Dust and dirt from the air can affect the product s performance and should be removed if necessary. The interval for cleaning depends on the environment in which the products are mounted and can typically vary from 2-6 years. Outlet (Supply air + room air) Induction of room air 2

Power charts The power chart shows the cooling capacity of the water circuit at a given static nozzle pressure and the desired airflow in Cumulus. The effect on the water circuit is read on the left scale is Watts per Kelvin and shall be multiplied by the number of degrees of temperature difference, which consists of the temperature difference between the average temperature E of the water circuit and the calculated room temperature, including the estimated stratification. The effect applies to a nominal water flow of; 0.025 l/s on the water circuit for the length 1200 and 0.038 l/s for the length 1800. For a more precise calculation of cooling capacity, where the flow deviates from the nominal flow (use chart 5 on page 9).

KS =14 /17 and dimensioning temperature of the air in the room + stratification (thermal stratification) is 24 C + 1,5 C =25,5 C. The temperature difference ( T) is therefor 25,5 -(14 +17 )/2 = 10 K Select the point on the X-axis of the air flow 15 l/s and follow the line up to the pressure curve of Pa, then read power on the Y-axis to 54W/ K x T10=540W. Nominal flow = 540W/(3 T x 4200)= 0,043 l/s. Use the flow correction factor in chart 5 on page 9, if the flow deviates from the nominal flow. To get the total effect including air cooling capacity, use chart 7 on page 10 and then add the effect of the supply air.

Flow compensation (chart 5) Calculation of the flow compensation effect. All reported data on the effect diagram applies for a nominal flow where the power factor = 1. F To calculate a more accurate effect at differing flows, the power factor is calculated and then multiplied by the output data in the chart. This flow is 0,025 l/s for Cumulus 1200 and 0,038 l/s for Cumulus 1800, depending on the different dimensions of the constituent tubes in the cooling coil. 1,2 1,1 Example: What is the corrected power of Cumulus 1200 according to the example on chart 1 on page 7?
