Frenger supplies first major chilled beam project into Australia

Frenger Systems has supplied more than 2000 of their passive chilled beams to the project “The Bond” in Sydney. This landmark building is the first major Australian project to utilise passive chilled beam technology.

Further to extensive project testing at the Company’s UK and Swedish facilities Frenger’s CARAT Radiant/Convective passive chilled beam was selected. The chilled beam layout had to accommodate future partitioning and fit-out requirements, whilst delivering exceptional comfort levels under the most extreme external conditions. During a recent Sydney heat wave internal temperatures were maintained at 23.5oC whilst the external temperatures soared to 42oC, and this was achieved with no modification to the chilled water flow temperature of 15oC.

The Bond has received many national and international awards and the utilisation of passive chilled beams has meant that it is the first Australian commercial building to achieve the much-acclaimed 5-Star energy usage rating (Australian Building Greenhouse Rating). Many Australian clients are now looking to adopt the use of chilled beam technology – both passive and active – and Frenger are in the process of supplying such materials to large projects in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Frenger’s CARAT passive chilled beam looks and operates like no other beam on the market today – it does not use traditional closely-spaced fins, and cools by Radiation AND convection (unlike most passive beams that cool by convection alone). Positioned above a perforated metal ceiling system, CARAT delivers unrivalled levels of cooling capacity and occupancy comfort; up to 150 w/m2 of cooling
with no drafts and no noise. Furthermore, because a significant amount of the cooling is delivered via a Radiant effect the product moves less air and therefore CARAT can be used with very small ceiling perforations (2.4mm diameter holes and 28% free area), making it virtually invisible from below.

Apart from the success of “The Bond” Frenger have designed, supplied and installed CARAT chilled beams on many major UK projects.
