System Description

SAS Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings have emerged as an alternative to traditional air conditioning systems, incorporating a single piece copper element into the rear of a standard ceiling tile.

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings are as durable as, and visually indistinguishable from standard metal suspended ceilings. Using water as the heat transfer medium, absorbs and removes heat from an occupied space as it flows through the system.

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings provide between 45 and 65 W/m² (net) of cooling capacity. They radiate cooling downwards and provide quiet, draft free comfort cooling to occupants.

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings can be used in conjunction with Chilled Beams to meet additional cooling requirements (e.g. solar gain around glazed elevations).

System Features

Energy efficient - low operating temperatures and pressure drop
Silent operation
No moving parts resulting in low maintenance requirements
Accommodates future layout requirements including demountable partitioning
Single piece continuous copper element
Can be installed with voids less than 100mm

Ceiling Type & Sizes

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings are normally incorporated within a System 330 system and work best in large mega-panels or planks. However, other shapes can be manufactured to meet specific requirements.

Finish

Polyester Powder coated, supplied as standard with a RAL 9010 smooth finish; a fine textured finish (SAS FT), anti-bacterial coating (SAS AB) and other colours are available. See paint finish for a full range of options.

Grid System

Profile suspension, ‘C' Profile and Omega Profile, see components.

Perforation

Typically supplied with 1522, 1820 or 2516 perforations. See perforations for full details and perforation options. There is no requirement for larger perforations with a Coocleil Radiant Chilled Ceiling, please contact the SAS technical department for acoustic performance information.

Weight

Approximately 20 kg/m² for tiles, filled copper elements, luminaire, acoustic/insulation pad, ‘C' profiles and suspension system - based on a System 330 ceiling system.

Service Integration

Lighting, PA systems, smoke detection, passive infra-red sensors and other building services can be integrated within an Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceiling. Elements are manufactured to encompass each integrated service and ensure cooling outputs are not compromised.

Chilled Beams

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings are often used in conjunction with Chilled Beams, particularly near glazed elevations, where the solar gain is highest.

Hinge Down Facility

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings come with an easy to use touch latch, hinge down access panels.

These hinges allow easy access to the ceiling void and the building services for planned and unplanned maintenance.

Safety Cables

Large filled panels can be quite heavy, Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceiling safety cables minimise the risk of accidental flip-down and damage.

Space Saving

Due to the narrow diameter of the cooling element, the depth of the ceiling void can be kept to a minimum; this is particularly relevant when renovating 1960s and 1970s buildings.

Durability

Aluminium, steel and copper are robust materials and Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings have an expected life cycle of approximately 25 years.

Energy Efficiency

Coolceil Radiant Chilled Ceilings use water as the heat transfer method and their comparatively high operating temperatures result in an energy saving, particularly when combined with free cooling or ground sourcing.
