AURA ACTIVE CHILLED BEAMS
The AURA Chilled Beam series by HUBER & RANNER is a high-efficiency zone cooling and heating solution designed to optimize indoor climate control while reducing energy consumption and elevating building IAQ through the constant delivery of fresh air. Utilizing efficient cooling and heating coils, the AURA series delivers superior comfort, enhanced air quality, and low noise operation across commercial and industrial applications.
Introduction
Chilled beams leverage water-based cooling and heating to regulate indoor temperatures efficiently. Unlike traditional variable air systems, chilled beams adjust to varying heating and cooling demand by modulating the supply of heating/chilled water to the coil inside the chilled beam, while the supply of fresh air is maintained consistent. In active chilled beams, such as the AURA series, the supply of fresh air to the unit induces a recirculation of the air in the room, with the recirculating air passing over an internal coil. In this way, the heating and cooling needs of each zone can be met, while fresh air supply rate can be optimized to IAQ requirements, rather than heating/cooling demand. This overall result is optimal thermal comfort with minimal energy usage.
Available in both 2-pipe and 4-pipe configurations, AURA chilled beams provide seamless integration into modern building and HVAC system designs. With intelligent air distribution and Coanda effect optimization, they ensure efficient air mixing without drafts or hot spots. Their low-profile design reduces ducting requirements, decreases HVAC footprint, and optimizes building height usage by reducing plenum height requirements in comparison to variable air systems. The AURA series is designed for easy maintenance, featuring easily accessible coils and filter-free design. Chilled beams are an ideal solution for hospitals, laboratories, offices, and schools where silent operation and energy efficiency are crucial.

Features
Energy-Efficient Cooling and Heating
AURA chilled beams use water-based heat exchange to achieve higher energy efficiency compared to conventional HVAC systems, significantly reducing overall power consumption.
Low Noise Operation
With no internal fans or moving parts, AURA chilled beams operate almost silently, enhancing indoor comfort in sensitive environments like hospitals and offices.
Coanda Effect Air Distribution
Advanced design ensures optimal air ejection and space distribution through the Coanda Effect, preventing uncomfortable drafts and maintaining a stable temperature throughout the occupied space.
2-Pipe and 4-Pipe Configurations
Available in both 2-pipe and 4-pipe models, allowing for flexible integration with heating and cooling systems to meet project-specific requirements.
Reduced Ductwork Requirements
The compact design minimizes the need for extensive ductwork, optimizing plenum space and reducing overall building height.
Customizable Aesthetic Design
The visible grille and casing of the AURA series can be customized to match interior design specifications, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
