• Hardly any energy distribution losses because of low temperature differences between room and water temperature.
4. Energy considerations
• Very low service and maintenance costs.
As the felt temperature is the arithmetic mean of room air temperature and ambient air temperature, the room air temperature can be kept lower or higher when the ambient temperature is raised (heating) or reduced (cooling). Result: A lower transmission heat flow, thanks to a smaller difference of room air temperature and outside temperature and therefore reduced energy costs. Energy is saved, both when heating and cooling.

The Zehnder COMO panel can be delivered in two different kinds of surface finish:
• with smooth surface • with perforated surface (see 5.)
There are also two types of surface coating:

• with powder baked paint finish. After forming, the panels are cleaned and coated with a high-quality powder baked paint. Available in a wide range of colours. Standard colour similar to -

Note: The plasterboards are special thermo-plasterboards and the pre-run temperature may not exceed 45°C (e.g. Knauf thermal boards K 713). The manufacturer’s information applies.

To give each customer and room the desired solution lamps, lighting, intake air openings and outlet air grids can be integrated in the Zehnder COMO panels. Mitre cuts enable an exact fit to the architecture of the room.
6.1. Ceiling cut-outs
Based on the dimensions given by the client/customer Zehnder fits the ceiling cutouts into the single elements. Round, square or rectangular forms are possible.
The pipes cut through by the cut-outs are either made inactive or stay active for water flow:

Procedure:
1. Determining the sail size: Requirements: One sail of 4 m length and 3,6 m width. The surface should be painted and the panel top insulated.
2. Determining output cooling: cooling load cooling output sail sail

Example 1: two pipes parallel
Total mass flow = 450 kg / h 10 m
1. Pressure loss connecting pair From diagram A follows:
∆pconnecting pair
= 1570 Pa / connecting pair (at 450 kg / h)
∆pconnecting pairs
= ∆pconnecting pair · number of connecting pairs = 1570 Pa / connecting pair · 1 connecting pair = 1570 Pa
2. Pressure loss 180° bend From diagram B follows:
∆pbend
= 160 Pa / Bens (at 450 kg / h, 2 pipes parallel)
∆pbends
= ∆pbend · number of bends in series = 160 Pa · 2 = 320 Pa
3. Pressure loss pipes From diagram C follows:
∆ppipe
= 310 Pa / m (at 450 kg / h, 2 pipes parallel)
∆ppipes
= ∆ppipe · lengh of the pipes in series = 310 Pa / m · 3 · 10 m = 9300 Pa
4. Total pressure loss ∆ptotal
= ∆pconnecting pairs + ∆pbends + ∆ppipes = 1570 Pa + 320 Pa + 9300 Pa = 11190 Pa
Example 2: three pipes parallel
Total mass flow = 450 kg / h 10 m
1. Pressure loss connecting pair From diagram D follows:
∆pconnecting pair
= 40 Pa / connecting pair (bei 450 kg / h)
∆pconnecting pairs
= ∆pconnecting pair · number of connecting pairs = 40 Pa / connecting pair · 1 connecting pair = 40 Pa
2. Pressure loss collecting pair From diagram E follows:
∆pcollecting pair
= 280 Pa / collecting pair (bei 450 kg / h, 3 pipes parallel)
∆pcollecting pairs
= ∆pcollecting pair · number of collecting pairs = 280 Pa · 2 = 560 Pa
3. Pressure loss pipes From diagram C follows:
∆ppipe
= 160 Pa / m (bei 450 kg / h, 3 pipes parallel)
∆ppipes
= ∆ppipe · length of the pipes in series = 160 Pa / m · 2 · 10 m = 3200 Pa
4. Total pressure loss ∆ptotal
= ∆pconnecting pairs + ∆pcollecting pairs + ∆ppipes = 40 Pa + 560 Pa + 3200 Pa = 3800 Pa
