TYPICAL BSRIA TEST RESULT

These diagrams show the results of one of the many BSRIA tests carried out over a four-month period. A 9m x 6m full working mock up of a building was constructed at BSRIA’s Microclimate facility. It had a 4.5m perimeter depth and 6m internal zone. 100% Low E glass was used to simulate the projected Part L2 gain targets and the test was carried out at full external summer and winter design conditions.

The yellow band represents 24°C and is at 1.8m.

The Perimeter zone was 130 watts/sq m and internal zone 50 watts/sq m, equating to an average of 71 watts/sq m.

The result showed that the FlexSys system can compete with 4 pipe fan coil systems and does not require any secondary cooling systems at the perimeter to cope with peak summer loads.

Other tests carried out included:

• Summer part-load cooling test
• Full winter heating test
• Full MIT micro grille test
• Part load MIT micro grille test
