Installation instruction

Control of delivery

2.1 Before starting
Read through the entire installation instruction before commencing installation in order to determine which parts that needs to be performed and in what order to be done. Lindab is a supplier of complete water products, but we offer also a wide range of accessories which suit perfectly to our water products simplifying your installation work, e.g. different type of hangers, push fittings, closing valves, thermostatic valves and actuators, flexible hoses, customized regulation components, customized cabeling and more. See also the separate document “Accessories.” Lindab will also provide you with a full ventilation system, with a wide range of Lindab Safe components. See also “Air Duct Systems.”
2.2 Safe operation
Beware of sharp edges, especially of the coils. Always wear thin gloves and protective clothing.
All existing safety regulations must be observed when working with Lindab water products. Check the weights of the beams or the panels with the installation instruction before carrying.
2.3 Receipt of goods
Start by checking that the delivery is complete according to the order and that everything listed on the consignment note has been delivered. Then carry out a review of the
products and make sure that nothing was damaged during transportation. If you discover damage that has occurred during delivery, it must be notified immediately. Lindab is not responsible for costs associated with the replacement of products, that have been installed in any way other than shown in these installation instructions.
2.4 Unloading of goods
The beams and panels are normally delivered packed on wooden pallets. Lift the pallets carefully with a fork lift and place them on a dry and plain surface/ground. If the beams are delivered in single boxes, wooden blocks should be placed on the ground at one-metre intervals (or a pallet), before the boxes are been placed to store. Lindabs water products must be stored on a plane surface in a dry and well ventilated place, preferably indoors. If they have to be stored outdoors, protect them with a waterproof cover and store them protected from rain beneath a roof or other until they are fitted.
14-60 kg ! 2.5 Handling / Carrying The beam or panel must be handled with care, ensuring that it will not be scratched or bended during transportation, preparation and installation. Always carry the beams or panels piecewise into the building. Keep the product in the package as long as you can. Never use piping connections or edges to lift them, neither when you unpack them nor when you carry them towards the construction site. Do not place the product directly on the floor. Use the protective corners from package or other clean means from package to place the product before installation. Be careful if you must carry a long panel horizontally; if the panels are bended lengthwise, the profiles may be deformed and the piping could loosen from the panel. When opening the box with a knife, be careful not to damage the product. Each beam is equipped with protective film to avoid any damage during transportation and handling on building site. The film needs to be removed before commissioning the products.

3.7 Water quality
Lindab recommend water treatment and quality to be according to VDI 2035-2.

• The water preparation and maintenance for the chilled beam water circuit must be handled by a specialist.
• To prevent corrosion, the water circuit must be airtight.
• The water system must also be equipped with aerators to remove any build-up air in the system.
• The water must be oxygen free, to prevent corrosion.
• The water system must be filled with potable water that complies with the “EC directive 98/83/EC.”
• The pH value of water must be between approximately 6-9 pH.
• The water velocities should not exceed 1 m/s, and should be kept as close to the nominal flow as possible to minimize noise and optimise the energy yield.
• Use in-line strainers to remove dirt particles from the water.
• If the water contains any additive inhibitor, then it must be appropriate to use with copper and solder. 3.8 Air quality

Primary supply air have to be clean, dry and filtered before reaching the beam. 3.9 Capacity test
Lindabs active chilled beams are Eurovent-certified and tested according to EN-15116. Please visit Professor XP on www.lindQST.com and see Eurovent for more details.

Connections

4.1. Water connections
Flow indication arrows are shown on the inlet and return pipes in order to assist the installer.
If the control valves have been ordered separately, a special direction of the flow must be upheld to ensure correct flow through the control valve. Please note the flow direction indicator on the valve to insure correct installation in relation to the desired flow. When connecting a panel or a beam with the piping system either a push-on fitting or a compression coupling should be used. Lindab have tested and recommends John Guest push on fittings as well as push-on fittings from Tectite (available as accessory. See Accessories).
To avoid sound being transported over the beam, we recommend to use our flexible hoses between the piping and the beam connections. See Accessories.
NB! Every control valve can create sound when it is installed directly connected to the water in- or outlet (or into the piping in close distance to the in- or outlet of the water product). To avoid unwanted sound generation we recommend to always use a Lindab control valve LinFlow-A (angled) or LinFlow-S (straight) and calculate the beam with the valve in LindQST\waterborne calculator.
4.1.1 Before installation

• Notice! The connection pipes are internally soft-welded, therefore it is not allowed to solder the beam to the pipes. For other than Lindab fittings and valves, please consult the installation guide for the specific fitting for further details on proper installation.
• Both inlet- and return pipes are covered by a plastic or rubber protection cover, which must be removed before installation.

• After removing the protection cover, make sure that the pipe is intact and undamaged, especially at the pipe end, as even small dents and scratches potentially pose a risk of leakage in the system.
• Eventually deburr the pipe ends on the inside and the outside, using a deburring tool before installation.
• Always remember to do a pressure test after assembly of the pipe work.

4.1.2 Push-on valve

• Mount a push-on valve to the pipe. Make sure the valve has the correct flow direction (see indication arrow on the valve) and that you have the correct valve, when integrated valve has been chosen (see indication on valve or follow cabelling to Regula Connect card). Cooper inserts aren’t required!
• Please refer to the suppliers manual.

4.1.3 Compression fitting

• While mounting a compression fitting, the pipe will be exposed to a big amount of force, creating a risk of crushing the pipe.
  To ensure that the pipe won’t be crushed when mounting the compression fitting, a copper insert must be inserted into the pipe (always part of the delivery).

• The copper insert should be placed inside the pipe on the beam. Always support the copper pipe coil when inserting the copper insert into position.

• Mount a compression coupling and/or a valve to the pipe. Don’t stress the nut too much, since this may crush the pipe.

• Please refer to the suppliers manual.

4.1.4 Flexible hoses

• Our flexible hoses with straight ends can be used with both push-on and compression fitting.
• We recommend to use our flexible hoses with push-on fittings, for easier and faster mounting.
• For the connection to an enclosed valve with integrated push on coupling a flexible hose with straight end (male) or with push on (female) and a short copper pipe can be used.
• Please refer to the suppliers manual.

• Lmin = 70 mm (to ensure you can open the couplings again).
  Lindab flexible hoses are available with straight end (male) for direct connection to Lindab valves also.
  4.1.5 Possible connections water cooling or heating (2-pipe, standard)
  All the Professor XP active chilled beams can have either a “2-pipe water connection” or a “4-pipe water connection” as standard (see 4.1.6). The 2-pipe water connection beam contains one water circuit only (cooling or heating). All water pipe connections are Ø = 12 mm. Professor XP: F-45, F-60, I-45 and I-60 cooling or heating (standard),
  I-62, J-60, K-60, L-60, X-60, Y-60 and Z-60 (ceiling adapted models).

4.1.6 Possible connections water cooling and heating (4-pipe, standard)
The 4-pipe water connection beam contains two water circuits. One for heating and one for cooling.
The dimension for all water pipe connections are Ø = 12 mm.
Professor XP: F-45, F-60, I-45 and I-60 cooling or heating (standard), I-62, J-60, K-60, L-60, X-60, Y-60 and Z-60 (ceiling adapted models).

Example: Front view of XP-X model.

• NB! All dimensions marked (*) are valid and the same for all ceiling adapted models.
  Go to 5.2.2 to see dimensions for all ceiling adapted models.

4.2 Air connections
4.2.1 Air connection installation
The primary air supply must be connected with instructions from a ventilation specialist. Lindab’s chilled beams can beneficially be used together with Lindab’s Safe ® duct systems.
We recommend a flexible duct connection, like Lindab DRATMFU-100, to balance out different installation heights or directions between connection and duct and avoid sound will be diverted from piping system to the ceiling.

4.2.2 Possible connections supply air Both the horizontal (A) and the vertical (B) supply air connections are equipped with Lindab SafeClick ® as a standard.
4.2.3 Possible connections extract air (plus feature, XP-60 models only)
Extract air connection includes a KSU valve and a VRGM as standard (Ø100 or Ø125).
If you got 2 air connections 2 x 100, Lnom of the Professor XP must be longer than 1.4 m to include the extract air plus feature.

4.3 Possible combinations of connections (standard)

4.4 Electrical connections (Plus features)
Electrical connections on the beam are only necessary, when plus features are chosen and thanks to the pre-fabrication it is as easy as “plug and play”. The components are always installed near the water-connection at the end of the beam. For further information, see Regula.

Note that this installation procedure shows installation in an existing T-bar ceiling. In a completely new building the beams will often be installed before the ceiling system.

5.5.1 Connection covers for Professor XP-F models
Two different types of connection covers are available for Professor XP F-45 and XP F-60. Type CC for covering between two beams and CW for covering from one beam to wall.

Adjustment and commissioning

6.1 Airflow and pressure
The product has a factory pre-set of both primary airflow rate and static pressure loss, so normally an on-site adjustment is not necessary. The pre- setting is recorded on the product labels as shown under 2.11.
NB! The static pressure loss must be maintained by the ventilation fan to reach designed capacities. Therefore, measuring the static nozzle pressure (see 6.3.1) should be sufficient to guarantee the correct air flow rate.
6.1.1 Jetcone adjustment pins
Not relevant for Professor XP
6.1.2 Finding values for JetCone pins
Not relevant for Professor XP
6.2 Adjustment of air distribution pattern
The beam can be ordered with different air disrtribution patterns to maintain different airthrow lengths, short (30°), medium (16°)
or long (0°). The default setting is short (30°).
6.3 Measuring air pressure and calculating the air flow
To double check the primary airflow rate, the static nozzle pressure must first be measured. The static nozzle pressure is the air pressure available at the nozzles.
6.3.1 Measuring static nozzle pressure and air pressure

• To measure the air pressure, a manometer, (analogue or digital) will be needed. Lindab recommends PC410.
• Insert the measuring tube onto the specialized measuring nozzle.
• Read of the static nozzle pressure from the manometer (PC410).

6.3.2 Calculating the actual air flow

• After measuring the static pressure calculate the specific air flow per nozzle:
• After finding the airflow rate per nozzle, find the number of open nozzles (2.11 ) to calculate the primary airflow rate:Alternatively, the actual airflow rate can be read off from diagram 1.
• After measuring the static pressure, locate the table and the diagram inside the openable perforated faceplate (or use diagram 1), and use both the measured static nozzle pressure and the total open nozzles (labels see 2.11) to read of the actual primary airflow rate qa .

Example using diagram 1

Professor XP: PRO-I-60-12-1×100-A1-1200-2.4-60-35

6.3.3 Changing the actual air flow
The changing of the actual air flow rate can only be done by closing (less total open nozzles) and opening nozzles (more total open nozzles) according to the diagram 1 (individual change) or by changing of the actual static pressure over the ventilation fan (whole system changes).
Both nozzle plugs (order no. 642502) and nozzle tool (order no. 642635) are available as accessories.
6.3.4 Changing the air distribution profile See 6.2.
6.3.5 Professor XP pressure / airflow diagram

6.4 Water flow rate
6.4.1 Pre-setting of valves
All the integrated control valves (plus feature) are delivered not set. The presetting has to be done on site.
For the presetting of valves, please see LinFlow-A (Angled) and LinFlow-S (Straight) water valves documentation.
6.4.2 Balancing strategy
Lindab recommends always balancing the water system to guarantee thermal comfort in all areas, to avoid noise nuisance problems and to safe energy. A hydraulic balance is obvious to ensure that all the beams (panels or facade units) in the system will always be supplied with their required (planned) water flow rates (calculated with LindQST\waterborne calculator). Lindab refers to the proportional method, where all beams (panels or facade units) are balanced to the same proportion of the requested water flow rate.

Maintenance

The interval of cleaning depends on the indoor environment where the beam is placed. Under optimal conditions the beams only need cleaning every 5 years.

• Open the inlet plate using no tools (7.2).
• Clean the battery downside and the inlet faceplate inner parts with a dust cleaner / vacuum cleaner.
• Only use lukewarm water and a mild detergent and a piece of wet cloth to clean the inlet face plate.
• Open the inspection hatch (7.3).
• Clean the air plenum chamber and air connection with a vacuum cleaner.
• Clean the top side of the battery, nozzle plate, JetCones and the mixing chamber with a dust cleaner / vacuum cleaner.
