How does CBC work?
Harnessing Convection for Natural Cooling
The Climate Baffle Ceiling (CBC) system is a groundbreaking solution that leverages natural heat transfer principles to provide efficient and eco-friendly cooling.
By utilizing convection, the CBC system ensures a seamless and effective cooling process.
Warm air naturally rises within a room and comes into contact with the chilled surfaces of the CBC panels. This interaction cools the air, which then descends, creating a continuous cycle of natural air circulation.
This process maintains a consistent and comfortable indoor environment without relying on mechanical fans or blowers.
Sustainable Cooling with Radiation and Energy Storage
Radiation for Balanced Temperature
The CBC system effectively manages thermal loads by absorbing heat radiated from occupants and surrounding surfaces. This redistributed cool energy ensures a balanced and consistent indoor climate, enhancing comfort.
Energy Storage for Sustainability
The CBC system is designed to store cooling energy in the building's structure during low-demand periods. This stored energy offsets heat gains during peak periods, maximizing energy efficiency.
By relying on natural heat transfer, the CBC system reduces environmental impact and supports sustainable building practices.
Efficient Cooling and Dehumidification in CBC Systems
The CBC system is expertly engineered to utilize low-velocity air circulation, maximizing the contact time between the air and the cooling surface. This extended interaction not only efficiently cools the air but also significantly enhances the dehumidification process by drawing out the moisture content present in the air.
As the air moves slowly across the unit, the humidity within condenses onto the cooling heat exchanger, effectively capturing and extracting excess water vapor from the surroundings. The condensed moisture is then collected in a condensate tray and directed to a drainage pan, maintaining a consistently cool and dry environment throughout the space.
Climate Baffle Ceiling (CBC) Installation
Exposed Installation: Provides 100% cooling capacity.
Perforated Ceiling: Requires a minimum 30% open area; smaller perforations reduce cooling performance.
Support: Use threaded rod hangers for secure suspension.
Spacing: Maintain a minimum requsted distance between units to ensure airflow efficiency.
Orientation: Install units perpendicular or parallel to perimeter walls. Avoid placing units directly facing workspaces to ensure comfort.
