Plexus - 360° Air discharge pattern | 28th May 2008

High-capacity active chilled beams with a small footprint are becoming increasingly popular; they free up ceiling area whilst still meeting significant heat gains and heat losses. However, the challenge has been to meet these demands whilst still delivering high levels of occupancy comfort. Frenger’s Plexus rises to the challenge with its unique air discharge characteristic.

The latest-generation Plexus Active Chilled Beam combines a cooling and heating function with a revolutionary air discharge pattern. By introducing the air in a 360° diffusion pattern instead of a traditional 2-way or 4-way pattern Plexus results in a reduction in air velocities of approximately 30%.

This optimal method of spreading the air in all directions means that shortest possible air throws are created, resulting in optimal levels of environmental comfort

55 Baker Street - Installation progress | 28th June 2007

The ionic 55 Baker Street building, currently undergoing a comprehensive £160 million redevelopment by HBG for London & Regional, is being supplied with over 5000 multiservice chilled beams (MSCBs) from Frenger Systems. Frenger's contract value is in excess of £7.5million; installation of the 2500 MSCB's for the buildings North Block is now complete and many of the beams required for the South Block are now in off-site storage awaiting delivery.

Frenger's active chilled beams were selected for their energy efficiency, minimum maintenance requirements and excellent internal comfort levels. Furthermore, the fact that the product has a life expectancy in excess of 25 years is of great value to the client.

The challenge was to meet the relatively high cooling requirements on this 80,000m2 project (up to 120w/m2 cooling) with the limited supply-air volumes available (1.6 l/s/m2). Frenger worked closely with the design team to develop a "V-shaped" chilled beam to complement the project's internal and external architecture. Many weeks of project-specific testing were carried out at Frenger's UK testing facility to ensure that all design requirements were realised.

Frenger installation engineers are currently on site and installing up to 120 chilled beams per week.

Australian Activities | 4th March 2007

Frenger Systems have completed a number of high profile projects in Australia, including The Bond, Sydney, Australia's first building to achieve a 5-star energy usage rating. The benefit of Frenger's Carat radiant/convective passive cooling beams have been proven through project testing undertaken for all projects currently supplied.

See the 'Why Choose Carat' and 'Application & Design Data' documents to see how well suited Frenger's Carat chilled beam is for Australian projects.

Below are some of Frenger's recent Australian projects. Materials for the project "George Street, Sydney", "USYD Central" and "One Lend Lease, Melbourne" are currently under manufacture for delivery in the summer.

55 Baker Street - project testing | July 2006

Frenger has successfully completed testing of the Multiservice Chilled Beams (MSCB’s) for the 55 Baker Street Project. This is probably the most important project of it's type for many years; it involves the design, supply and installation of over 4000 MSCB’s with a contract value in excess of £7.5 million.

The beams were tested for heating capacity, cooling capacity, air movement, comfort levels and lighting performance. A plasterboard partition was also introduced to demonstrate the performance of beams in a perimeter office. Tests were conducted over several weeks and our tests proved that the performance characteristics are inline with these published for the Polaris-I-60 Chilled Beam that forms the “engine” in the Baker Street Chilled Beam.

CEC Edinburgh - installation work | August 2006

Frenger has now completed the design, manufacture and supply of approximately 3½ kilometers of Multiservice Chilled Beams for the prestigious Council Headquarters in Edinburgh.

The building has adopted many of the most current “Green building” initiatives including Frenger’s latest-generation Carat radiant/convective cooling technology.

The Multiservice beams are finished in silver and have been supplied in single lengths up to 6.1m (the extremely lightweight nature of Carat has made this possible) with integrated direct and indirect lighting modules.

Further images will follow on completion of the project.

CEC Edinburgh - project testing | March 2005

Frenger have been awarded a million pound contract for the supply of multi Service chilled Beams (MSCB's) for the prestigious New Council Building in Edinburgh "CEC Edinburgh" project.

The client’s specification required a beam with excellent cooling properties that incorporated direct and indirect lighting with integrated PIR sensors to preserve energy, all enclosed within an aesthetically pleasing architectural casing.

Full scale climatic testing at Frenger’s Derby BSRIA calibrated test Laboratory is currently underway to test the air velocities directly below the 'Passive' MSCB fitted with a convective only cooling coil with a duty of 378 W/m.

A repeat test will be undertaken next week with the same MSCB but with Frenger's unique Radiant / Convective cooling elements to avoid any excessive air speeds with a 'Passive' cooling MSCB.
