Abstract
A device comprising a fin structure, a vent disposed in the fin structure, a cooling coil disposed in the vent, a light disposed in the fin structure and wherein the fin structure is configured to create a Coanda effect for air exiting the vent.
Claims20
A chilled beam, comprising:
- a first fin structure extending along a centerline of the chilled beam and outwardly from the centerline in a first direction;
- a second fin structure extending along the centerline and outwardly from the centerline in a second direction opposite the first direction;
- a flow path in the first fin structure and the second fin structure configured to receive air;
- a first vent disposed in the first fin structure and fluidly coupled with the flow path, wherein the first vent is configured to direct the air out of the first fin structure and away from the centerline;
- a second vent disposed in the second fin structure and fluidly coupled with the flow path, wherein the second vent is configured to direct the air out of the second fin structure and away from the centerline;
- and
- one or more light sources disposed at a bottom portion of the first fin structure, the second fin structure, or both.

A chilled beam, comprising:
- a first fin extending from a centerline of the chilled beam;
- a second fin extending from the centerline, wherein the first fin and the second fin are configured to pass air from an air duct therethrough;
- one or more vents disposed in the first fin, the second fin, or both, wherein the one or more vents are configured to direct the air out of the first fin, the second fin, or both, laterally away from the centerline;
- and
- one or more light sources coupled to the first fin, the second fin, or both, wherein the one or more light sources are configured to provide light below the first fin, the second fin, or both, in an installed configuration.
2 more elements
A chilled beam, comprising:
- a first fin extending from a centerline of the chilled beam in a first direction along a lateral axis of the chilled beam;
- a second fin extending from the centerline of the chilled beam in a second direction, opposite the first direction, along the lateral axis of the chilled beam, wherein the centerline extends in a third direction crosswise to the first direction and the second direction;
- a first vent disposed in the first fin;
- a second vent disposed in the second fin, wherein the first vent and the second vent are each offset from the centerline along the lateral axis;
- a first light source coupled to the first fin;
- and
- a second light source coupled to the second fin, wherein the first light source and the second light source are configured to output light in a downward direction in an installed configuration.
