scope:

This European Standard specifies test conditions and methods for the determination of the cooling capacity of chilled beams or other similar systems with free convection, i.e. without forced air flow. Also included is the method to determine local air velocity and temperature below the beam. The purpose of the standard is to give comparable and repeatable product data. The test method applies to all types of convector cooling systems using any medium as energy transport medium. This standard refers to water as the cooling medium throughout, however, wherever water is written, any other cooling medium can also be used in the test. Where air is the transport medium this air may not be discharged into the test room.
