ACTIVAIR™ 36IB

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical data for the Carrier 36IB Series Induction Beams, highlighting their ability to offer individual temperature control and energy efficiency, which can contribute to LEED certification. These systems provide both sensible and latent cooling and heating, with higher capacities than traditional chilled beams.

Key Features:

Induction beams utilize primary air at static pressures of 0.4 to 0.8 in. wg, distributed through aerodynamic nozzles into a mixing chamber, creating a differential pressure that draws room air across a coil for heating or cooling.
The mixed air is discharged using the Coanda effect, circulating gently without filters, reducing maintenance costs.
These systems enhance the efficiency of primary air systems, reducing equipment and ductwork size and energy consumption, and operate quietly without electric motors.

Model Variants:

36IBAC: Ceiling-mounted, supplies air in four directions, available in 2x2 ft or 4x4 ft sizes, suitable for classrooms and conference rooms.
36IBAS: Ceiling-mounted, supplies air in one direction, 2x2 ft size, ideal for office spaces and dormitory rooms.
36IBAM: One-way blow, ceiling-mounted, 2x2 ft size, suitable for hallways and labs.
36IBAN: Linear dimension, available in 1x4 ft or 2x4 ft, suitable for office spaces and labs.
36IBAR: Linear dimension with reversible air inlet, 2x4 ft size, ideal for perimeter walls and labs.
36IBAL/36IBAJ: Linear dimension, available in various sizes, suitable for office spaces and labs.

Specifications:

Units are available in various sizes and configurations, including 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems.
Grilles come in different finishes and can be lay-in or surface mounted.
Optional insulation is recommended for chilled water temperatures below 55°F to prevent moisture intrusion.
Height extension collars and various drain pan options are available.

Physical Data: Detailed physical data is provided for each model, including dimensions, weight, and coil connection sizes.

Options and Accessories: Factory-installed options include various nozzle sizes, coil configurations, grille finishes, and insulation types. Field-installed accessories include drain pan accessories and filters.

Unit Dimensions: Dimensions for different unit configurations are outlined, including 1-way and 2-way blow units with 2-pipe and 4-pipe arrangements. Dimensions are provided in inches, with multiple views for clarity.

Legend and Notes: A legend explains abbreviations such as CWR (Chilled Water Return), CWS (Chilled Water Supply), HWR (Hot Water Return), and HWS (Hot Water Supply). Notes clarify how to determine the 'hand' of the unit based on piping connections and airflow direction.

Performance Data: Performance metrics such as static pressure, airflow, and cooling/heating capacities are provided for various unit sizes. The document emphasizes using the Carrier Electronic Selection Program for accurate capacity calculations.

Application Data: The induction beam system's operation is described, highlighting its ability to achieve total room mixing through the Coanda effect. It specifies the primary ventilation air conditions and the mixing effect ratio.

Quality Assurance: Units are tested in accordance with AHRI and ASHRAE standards to ensure performance, sound levels, and airflow characteristics meet industry requirements.

Equipment Specifications: Details on the equipment design, including mounting, duct connections, and airflow induction mechanisms, are provided. The units are designed for easy integration into standard ceiling modules and include features for efficient air distribution.

System Description: Specifications for an integrated induction beam system used for ventilation, cooling, and heating are outlined. The system induces secondary airflow within a conditioned space using primary conditioned air supply.

Quality Assurance: Unit coils are tested according to AHRI 410 standards for forced-circulation air-cooling and air-heating coils. Units are also tested by ETL for performance, throws, and sound levels in accordance with ASHRAE 70-2006 standards.

Equipment Specifications:

General: The induction beam unit is designed for flush mounting in a false ceiling, matching a standard 2 ft module. It includes hanging brackets, a primary air inlet transition, air plenum, induction nozzle plate, chilled/hot water coil, and a condensate drain connection.
Unit Casing: Constructed of 20-gauge galvanized sheet metal, designed for uniform air distribution with low noise. Includes a supply/return diffuser for linear air distribution.
Induction Nozzles: Made of DuPont Hytrel 4069 polymers, designed for efficient airflow with minimal dirt build-up.
Water Coil Assembly: Utilizes aluminum fins and copper tubes, factory leak tested. Coils are designed to minimize leakage and include a drainable condensate pan.
Insulation: Provided when entering chilled water temperature is below 55°F, using closed cell elastomeric foam to prevent moisture intrusion and inhibit mold.
Grille Finish: Standard finish is corrosion-resistant acrylic enamel, with optional alkyd enamel and urethane coatings for enhanced durability.
Lint Filter: Includes a washable wire mesh filter and a disposable filter compliant with UL 900 standards.
Drain Pan: Constructed from various materials including galvanized and stainless steel, with antimicrobial coatings and different drain connection options.
Drain Pan Accessories: Includes float switches and electronic condensate overflow sensors compliant with UL standards.

Primary Air Inlet Arrangement: The unit features a reversible primary air inlet arrangement, allowing field rotation by 180 degrees.

Control Valves: Control valves for cooling and heating can manage one or more induction units within a zone. These valves are to be provided by the Automatic Temperature Control Contractor.

Insulation: Exterior insulation is required when the chilled water temperature is below 55°F. The insulation must be closed-cell elastomeric foam, preventing moisture intrusion and inhibiting mold, mildew, and VOCs.

Grille Finish: The standard finish for grilles is baked-on acrylic enamel.

Lint Filter (Optional): Lint filters, either washable or disposable, are provided by the beam manufacturer. Washable filters have a 1/2 inch depth with an aluminum frame and nylon mesh, while disposable filters have fiberglass media and must comply with UL 217V.

Drain Pan: Constructed from galvanized steel with a 3/4-inch CPVC or copper drain connection.

Drain Pan Accessories: Includes a UL 508 compliant float switch, a plenum-rated electronic condensate overflow sensor switch compliant with UL 508 and UL 2043, and a combination trap and condensate switch with a 3/4-inch PVC pipe, trap, and tee.

Primary Air Inlet Arrangement: The unit features a reversible primary air inlet arrangement that can be rotated 180 degrees in the field.

Manufacturer's Note: Specifications or designs may change without notice or obligation.
