Abstract
A chilled beam includes a body having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The chilled beam also includes a first mounting bracket coupled to the first side and configured to rotate against a first bias of the first mounting bracket in response to a first force against the first mounting bracket. The chilled beam also includes a second mounting bracket coupled to the second side and configured to rotate against a second bias of the second mounting bracket in response to a second force against the second mounting bracket
Claims28
A chilled beam, comprising:
- a body of the chilled beam including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
- a first mounting bracket coupled to the first side and configured to rotate against a first bias of the first mounting bracket and in response to a first force against the first mounting bracket;
- and
- a second mounting bracket coupled to the second side and configured to rotate against a second bias of the second mounting bracket and in response to a second force against the second mounting bracket.
A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a first mounting strut;
- a second mounting strut;
- and
- a chilled beam including a first rotatable mounting bracket disposed on a first side of the chilled beam and configured to sit on the first mounting strut in a deployed position, and a second rotatable mounting bracket disposed on a second side of the chilled beam opposite to the first side and configured to sit on the second mounting strut in the deployed position, wherein each of the first and second rotatable mounting brackets is biased to the deployed position.
A chilled beam installation assembly, comprising:
- a mounting strut;
- and
- a rotatable mounting bracket coupled to a chilled beam side wall and having a hinge configured to enable rotation of the rotatable mounting bracket relative to the chilled beam side wall between a retracted position in which the rotatable mounting bracket is not configured to sit on the mounting strut and a deployed position in which the rotatable mounting bracket is configured to sit on the mounting strut.
