to heat and cool a building.

The chilled ceiling products provide sensible cooling and heating to the
space by utilizing the more efficient heat transfer capacity of water, as
opposed to air. This decouples the latent and sensible loads, reducing
the energy cost of sensible cooling. With passive beams and radiant
products, an additional system is necessary to meet the ventilation
and latent cooling needs of the space. The Titus active chilled beams
integrate the supply of ventilation air creating an active diffuser. Using
the ventilation air to pressurize a plenum with aerodynamically designed
nozzles, high velocity jets of air are created forcing induction of room air
over the water coils integral to the units. Forced induction dramatically
improves the heating and cooling capacity over passive beams and
radiant products. Titus active chilled beams harness the energy of the
supply air to further reduce total energy consumption.

Titus offers a chilled ceiling product to meet the requirements of any

design or installation. Just a single model of passive beam accommodates
both exposed and recessed mounting applications. Active chilled beams

HEATING MODE Primary air continues to be delivered cooler temperature than the
ambient air in the classroom. It is discharged through induction nozzles
inducing room air through the integral heat transfer coil. This air is cooled
in accordance with space thermostat demands prior to mixing with the
primary air. The resultant air delivery to the space is a displacement type
mixture of primary and recirculated air at 62 to 68°F.

COOLING MODE Primary air is delivered through the induction nozzles. The velocity of
the nozzles induces room air through the integral heat transfer coil
which is then cooled in accordance with space thermostat demands
prior to mixing with the primary air. The use of room air induction and
reconditioning allows the use of 100% outside air as the primary air
source. The space thermostat regulates the amount of induced air

resulting in a constant volume, variable temperature (61 to 68ºF)
