One important aim for the development of new air conditioning systems is the reduction of the total energy consumption. This can be reached by separation of cooling and ventilation in air conditioning systems, because it is more effective to transport energy by using water systems instead of air to deliver cooling energy to the consumers. This strategic was the base for the development of several chilled ceilling systems during the last years, so that at present there are many different systems on the market.
The technology of chilled ceilings is currently a favourite issue among HVAC technicians. In this article the author describes the advantages of this system.
