Product catalogue The most effective method of delivering conditioned air In today’s competitive office market, building owners, designers, and facility managers are seeking up-to-date information about new technologies, design approaches, and products that can improve the value and performance of their building. Underfloor air distribution is a method of delivering space conditioning in commercial buildings that is increasingly being considered as a serious alternative to conventional ceiling-based air distribution systems because of the significant benefits that it can provide. [...] The installation of raised access flooring incorporating an underfloor air distribution system is most easily achieved in new construction. In large buildings the ceiling based ventilation zone is often in the region of 600mm. By increasing a cable void floor from 150mm to 300mm and doing away with the ceiling void ventilation zone it is easy to find a net saving in building height in the region of 10% or more. An integrated design can, in fact, regularly lead to reduced floor-to-floor heights and thus overall construction height. Some designs may allow the ceiling plenum to be completely eliminated offering even greater savings. CBE Summary Report October 1999 Hiross Flexible Space System does much more than just maintain a comfortable room temperature. In addition to offering unparalleled flexibility for offices, it ensures high indoor air quality without the normal high costs associated with this benefit. Whether you are a building owner, an architect, a consultant or a mechanical system design engineer, Hiross FSS representatives are pleased to work with your specific requirements. Contact us to learn more about designing a Flexible Space System suited to your building. 2 4 Hiross flexible Space System.

A feature of the system is the virtual elimination of horizontal distribution pipe-work and ventilation ductwork which is at the heart of the system’s extraordinary flexibility 2° STEP • Hiross AHU • Secondary Piping 5 Zone Air Handling Units The zones The building is generally divided up into several zones per floor (up to 250-300 m2) and these zones are defined by means of fire barriers placed in the floor void. The system makes use of centrally generated chilled /hot water supplied to each air handling unit. What inside a zone One AHU is installed for each zone to supply recycling treated air through the under floor void distributing it through the low pressure plenum (max 20 Pa). Fan assisted terminal units (TU) fitted with on/off air regulating damper introduce this air into the office space above according to the dictates of their user friendly on board controls. 6 and Terminal Units Slab: part of our system The concrete slab and the raised floor form part of the “channel” which conveys the air where needed and with study the floor thermal mass may be used for additional energy saving. The Systems Fresh air External air may be pre-treated using centralised air make-up units and mixed with the return air at each zone AHU unit. If the outside air is fully treated, i.e., incorporating humidification and dehumidification, this usually avoids the need for the use of a humidifier in the zone AHU unit, although, occasionally an individual zone may require special humidity control. 7 The Hiross-C System Under floor supply and return channels are created by means of baffles (underfloor air partitioning) placed in the access floor void. Hiross-C Conditioned Air Modules are suitably located throughout the office space to suit thermal demand and supply conditioned air locally to serve the needs of the space. The Hiross-C units deliver conditioned air into the floor void supply plena. 8 Underfloor air supply and return Return air grilles are positioned in the floor over return plena to permit the return of spent air to the AHU unit for re-conditioning Set into the floor over supply plena are individually controlled Fan terminals of either recessed or floor standing configuration. These terminals, Hiross-TUs, introduce air into the space above in accordance with the dictates of their own on board controls system. It’s your system if you want The low underfloor pressure in the two sections, supply and return, is kept at the desired level by means of a suitably sized under floor by-pass in the underfloor air partitioning: this can be easily changed and baffle can also be repositioned or modified, if necessary as space reconfiguration demands. • • • • • • • • To reduce overall construction cost To reduce overall construction time To design without a false ceiling To minimise cross contamination risk To treat air only in the occupied breathing zone To improve comfort To increase the effect of thermal mass storage To find a solution in height limited refurbishments 9 The Hiross-V System The conditioned air is supplied by the zone AHU to the under floor plenum but the return spent air shall be drawn back to the AHU through the false ceiling or the space above the access floor. The Zone air handling unit must operate in a Variable Volume mode to avoid over pressurization of the floor void The Terminal Units (Hiross-TU) operation shall automatically determine the air flow needed from the zone Hiross-V unit depending upon the quantity of terminal units dampers which are open or closed. This shall automatically and simply guarantee constant under floor pressure within the specified limits. 10 The air flow change will be caused by a variation in voltage input to the fans approx between 110-120V (0%) and 230V (100%) through communication between the Controller of the Hiross-TUs (open-close dampers) and the Controller of the AHU (namely the Hiromatic) operating the change by means of a well proven algorithm. Underfloor air supply and space or false ceiling return The whole under floor void shall be used as a supply air plenum to distribute the conditioned air thus enhancing thermal mass storage. It’s your system if you want The Hiross-V could be allocated into a technical room with grilles for air return. The Fresh Air could be directly introduced into the room and it will be mixed with recycling air. • • • • • To return air via a false ceiling or the room space To use the existing false ceiling (refurbishment) To use the full access-floor plena as supply channel To avoid the usage of baffle under the floor To increase the effect of the thermal mass storage 11 Control System Hiross range features are “state of the art” in terms of control and communication solutions. Although each unit can work in stand alone mode, the optimal performances are obtained once they are connected in a local area network through a high speed communication bus. The network enables each controller to know what the others are doing and to keep the entire system updated on the local condition in order that the air is always treated in the most efficient way in terms of comfort as well as energy consumption. On each Hiross-C and Hiross-V zone AHU there is a micro-processor controller which autonomously manages each unit. There are several features available within the standard control system like the double stage control algorithm, the LAN among Hiross main units and terminal units. Temperature alarms as well as humidity (where the unit is featured with Humidifier) high-low warning and alarm notification, loss of airflow. It offers Volt-free contacts available for simple remote monitoring of alarms. There are also different ways to display the operating data enabling the user the possibility to choose the most suitable solution for his needs either immediately or during the life of the product without wasting any investment. • The simple Service display, useful to get the overview of the unit where it is installed; it ensures a reliable and flexible unit control. Symbols and codes indicate operating status and alarms. • It enables the full set-up of the unit providing the programming of room temperature and humidity thresholds for local monitoring (standard alarms include high/low temperature and humidity, fan failure, heater over-temperature). • All facilities are menu driven to avoid the need for specialist engineers or lap top computer devices. The user can quickly familiarize himself with the control choices for re-configuration and optimization of use and carryout adjustment at minimal cost. The Hiross-TU controller is a microprocessor, it is fitted onboard of each Terminal Unit to which occupiers are granted access. It also obviates the need for specialist engineers. The easy to use control with LCD display permits users to familiarize themselves with the controls and make selected adjustment in a matter of minutes and by any service personnel within 15 minutes for full use and re-configuration. 12 Control System A user-friendly-display for visualization, data entry and timer functions can communicate up to 16 Hiross-C/Hiross-V. The display may be remotely installed or fitted in one of the zone AHUs. It shall be possible to set different control parameters for each HirossC/Hiross-V by means of the user-friendly-display and push button arrows. All parameters are divided into two main menus (User and Service menu) containing 7 sub-folders. ! A system specific control has been developed seeking to ensure optimum efficiency in operation, and a principle feature of operation is the continuous modulation of the supply air temperature to match to the direct needs of the zone being served. Standardly this is achieved by modulating control of CW and LPHW coil options, and ensures there is no unnecessary overcooling followed by wasteful supplementary reheating by the Hiross-C/Hiross-V. The Hiross-TU units serving the occupants within the working space allow choice of personal control by onboard complementary control systems. Each individual office has the possibility to efficiently maintain its own microclimate. The same is true throughout any open plan areas, where desking and low height partitions similarly sectionalise areas that then become defined micro-climates. 13 Control System ONLY ED FACE The Hirolink for BMSs is the interface between a whole Hironet network of units with Microface (and Hiromatic). Such a solution has been available for the last decade and thousands of installations in the world are working with such integration. 14 ER All relevant parameters managed by the mentioned proprietary microprocessors could be checked, set and modified by a Building Management System through the usage of Hirolink. E INT • ON When your building is equipped with a Building Management system the effort to integrate Hiross units is almost plug and play. YOU NE BMS Integration Control System Hiross FSS Communication suite 75% percent of the lifecycle costs of a facility are incurred in the operation and maintenance of that facility after it is built. We work with our customers to “build with the end in mind”, helping them design and build A/C systems that provide for maximum productivity and efficiency - during the construction phase and throughout the life of the system. For this reason we offer an integrated solution which can be tailored according to the needs of the customer. This permits easy monitoring and adjustment of the installation from a central management point without the need for operatives to move around the building inspecting, checking and adjusting equipment individually. Further more the IP network permits entry onto the system from virtually any point in the building to monitor and control the units from remote locations. 15 Hiross Flexible Space ... Hirovisor IP ... the remote event list • From the PC of the central supervision ... parameters setting Re.M. Records Monitoring The tree is built via icons (that can be named by preference) that correspond to the unit controls and mirror the sites architecture.. ALARMS: The icon colour changes to red, when alarms involve the specific control or if connection is lost. An alarm is also notified by a sound signal, by a red banner (with the name of the alarm) that appears in the visualisation sheet, and by a number appearing next to the Events folder (the Events folder records all the events taking place) DATAPOINTS: In each sheet there are sub-folders that contain the unit specific configuration data and parameters. SECURITY: 3 levels of passwords are available to protect the system. The possibility to change unit parameters is given to authorised users only either via the main application or via a Web interface. Re.M.: through the recording module it is possible to have the visualization and record of each of the values, visualised by the Hiross FSS Communication Suite. 16 Communication Suite ... FSS Client! Terminal Unit: temperature setpoint and fanspeed With Hiross communication Suite each user can take control of his microclimate directly from his PC. Through a client application running on the PC, the user can change the fan speed as well as the temperature set point of his/her allocated terminal unit. FSS Client, is an easy software application that allows individual users to access from their PC the information of the Hiross-TU and to vary the setpoint and the fanspeed. Both. Temperature setpoint and Fan speed can be modified in two ways: • Acting on the round knob for rough variation • Acting on spin up/down arrows for sharp variations to tune the precise value. The first black Bar on the top of the HTML page indicates the index of the HirossTU, name of Hiross-C/Hiross-V and name of the remote server connected to FSS Client. The light blue Bar shows the Connection status and the actual Access Level for the user. 17 Hiross-C Conditioned air modules Hiross-C generate conditioned air and deliver it into the underfloor supply plenum and draw air back through grilles into return under floor plenum • 3 models: Hiross-C15, Hiross-C25, Hiross-C35 • Cooling Capacity: up to 32 kW (26°C-50%RH; CW in/out 7-12°C) • Heating Capacity: up to 50 kW (20°C-50%RH; HW in/out 80-70°C) • Airflow: up to 9000 m3/h • Electric heater: up to 14,85 kW • Dimensions: length 1000-2000, height 1950, depth 750 mm Hiross-V Hiross Variable air flow units Hiross-V generate conditioned air to be delivered into the underfloor plenum and draw back through the space or unducted through the false ceiling • 4 models: Hiross-V11, Hiross-V22, Hiross-V33, Hiross-V44 • Cooling Capacity: up to 40 kW (26°C-50%RH; CW in/out 7-12°C) • Heating Capacity: up to 58 kW (20°C-50%RH; HW in/out 80-70°C) • Airflow: up to 9500 m3/h up to 9 kW • Electric heater: • Dimensions: length 850-1450, height 1950, depth 750-900 mm Return and Supply Air Grilles FGS return air grilles are mainly used with Hiross-C.

A specially developed multi-functional control permits personalized temperature and air flow control at each terminal unit and offers the very highest standard in intelligent control. The Hiross TU4 is equipped with 2 grilles: a supply grille fitted with a hatch to enable the user to access the controller and return grille to allow the room air to be drawn by the FTU during recirculation mode. On board temperature sensors control automatic damper operation during cooling/heating or recirculation mode. An optional electric heater is available. Fresh air is constantly ensured even during recirculation mode by a special adjustable by-pass. Since no piping or ducting is required, units can be installed and repositioned in few minutes. Recirculation Diagram Cooling-Heating Easy monitoring and remote control is achieved through the stand alone Hirovisor or via the selected BMS. • Cooling capacity up to 2,26 kW (delta T= 10°C) • Airflow: up to 670 m3/h • fan absorbed power 54 W • electric supply line 230V-1ph-50 Hz • Electrical heater : 250-500-1000 W Regulation of Setpoint The room temperature required by the user is set by means of push buttons located on the controller face plate/display. Electronic Heater Control Using the Fatronic it is possible to set a delay between fan actuation and electrical heater activation. If conditions are not as required at morning start-up heat is provided by the AHU. This ensures greater energy efficiency and avoids current peaks which could be caused by simultaneous electrical heaters starting. There are further set-up operational choices available for Hiross-TUs to work as Master and Slave unit(s) communicating and synchronising via the network. This permits all Hiross-TUs within each microclimate to be fully synchronised for best efficiency in operation. 24 Hiross TU Hiross TUC The console Terminal Unit Hiross TUC quietly draws air from the plenum for distribution in the work space. It has a sophisticate design and an attractive appearance taking up a minimum amount of space and allowing quick office layout reconfiguration. No piping is needed only electrical connection is required. The Fatronic control permits personalised temperature and airflow control and offers the very highest standard in intelligent control. • Cooling capacity up to 2,38 kW (delta T= 10°C) • Airflow: up to 700 m3/h • fan absorbed power 54 W • electric supply line 230V-1ph-50 Hz • Electrical heater: 250-500 W Diagram Recirculation Diagram Cooling-Heating Diagram Recirculating air enriched with fresh air is continuously “oxidising” the underfloor space leaving no chance for anaerobic growth and is continuously reducing the CO2 into the living space. As it is possible to see by the operation diagrams (see left and right), the fresh air introduced into the floor void quickly raises the concentration of fresh air into the space above and it is partially introduced also when terminal damper are closed thanks to the adjustable by-pass. Fan speed modulation Fan speed can be modulated continuously between a minimum and a maximum value, according to the user’s requirements. By using the controller it is possible to select different fan speeds or to lock the fan at a fixed speed. Electronic Control For both units, the temperature in the room or office space is controlled by an air flow damper which is governed by an electronic microprocessor controller in association with two air temperature sensors. The first sensor identifies the room air temperature sensor and the second the underfloor air temperature. By comparing these two values with the chosen setpoint the microprocessor is able to select the correct position of the damper. This facility allows all features of the Master to synchronise with the Slave unit(s) for a fully interactive control solution. All units are available for remote supervision at the HirossC or even at the Hirovisor or BMS if all monitoring features are requested and implemented and the complete cable network installed. 25 Hiross TU Hiross TUidea The floor recessed Hiross TUi (Terminal Unit idea) is the latest born into the Hiross Terminal Unit family. It can be installed in the space of one floor panel without removing any other floor panel or stringer because the overall dimensions are 600 x 600 mm. The total height is only 150 mm and for this reason it’s the most suitable for limited floor void height applications where optimum airflow is anyhow required. • Cooling capacity up to 1,9 kW (delta T= 10°C) • Airflow: up to 560 m3/h • fan absorbed power 64 W • electric supply line 230V-1ph-50 Hz • Electrical heater: 300 W The Fatronic control permits personalised temperature and airflow control and offers the very highest standard in intelligent control. • Regulation of setpoint • Electronic heater control • Fanspeed modulation • Master or Slave configuration Available grilles design 26 Accessories Hiross FA7 & Hiross FA5 The fresh air modules Hiross-FA7 and Hiross-FA5 are decentralised units which draw air from out-side and inject it into the HirossC air return section of the underfloor path or in a suitable section provided by the Hiross-V unit. They have been designed in such a way that they can be located under a single floor tile allowing easy access for maintenance and removal if required. Overall dimensions Filter Speeds Fan airflow Hiross FA 7 450 x 560 x 200 mm EU3 3 centrifugal fan up to 700 cu.m/h Hiross FA 5 403 x 403 x 150 mm EU3 3 centrifugal fan up to 500 cu.m/h Hiross-FA7 and Hiross-FA5 consist of a welded power painted cabinet, 3 speed centrifugal fan, on/off switch, antivibration base, terminal box for electrical connection, flanged intake and discharge connection. Hiross-FA7 plus & Hiross-FA5 plus Night Cooling and Energy saving The potential benefits of overnight free cooling in buildings have been known for some time. Computer simulation tests have shown that the outside air can be used: • For reducing the sensible room peak cooling load by 9% • For reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions due the ventilation and cooling systems by 19% These reductions would be achieved with no additional capital plant investment. All that is needed is the use of Hiross-FA plus. One, or more, Hiross-FA plus could be connected to each Hiross-C/HirossV units and they can dialog together in order to use the outside air for energy saving. An outside air temperature sensor will adjust the total amount of outside air on the basis of the internal setpoint requirements. 27 Accessories FGS & FGC floor grilles Robust Floor grilles suitable for normal office use with light aluminium anticorodal alloy fins, featuring a straight profile, and 4 spacers constructed with aluminium alloy are available. The grilles can be fitted with or w/o regulating dampers and may be used in either return or supply mode as required. A patented Height adjustment (from 30 to 52 mm) mechanism permits grilles to be levelled to the chosen floor finish.

The Sound attenuator is employed where added privacy is a requirement. This accessory attenuates noise transmission between adjoining rooms, eliminating or muffling sound transmission. It can only be used when combined with the Collecting Tray. 28 Your most frequent questions How does the slab influence FSS operation? At initial start up Thermal mass of the building needs to be charged. This may take a week or more and during this time it may be necessary to start the plant earlier in the day and run it longer at the end of the day to stabilize the building. Once the building has settled it may be possible to turn on the plant later than conventional systems and turn it off earlier due to the thermal flywheel effect. A Free cooling effect may also be implemented when suitable outside temperatures exist. Do you know that Hiross FSS easily avoids condensate issues? FSS controls and indeed can limit the supply temperature setpoint and in this way it is possible to keep the supply air temp above the dew point, thus avoiding the risk of condensation. Cold air passing over a concrete slab will obviously cool it down. The area which needs consideration is the part of the slab where a car park or other non conditioned space beneath exist I.e. in this case temperature and humidity may be high. 10°C (2°C gain for initial hours) If then the slab is being cooled it is possible that warm moist air will condense either on the cool outer surface. (very unlikely) Do you know that it is not always necessary to insulate the slab? Due to variation in Vapour Pressure Warm moist air may permeate into the slab and cause interstitial condensation. This is far more serious as it is not visible and corrosion of reinforcing bars could occured. Only in special cases the slab has to be insulated, when the floor below is exposed to outdoor conditions (open garage etc) It may also be appropriate to add a vapour seal on the underside of the insulation. No dust from the floor! Depending on the cleaning regime and use of the space dust in the air may settle overnight on the grilles of the terminals. At start up this dust may be reintroduced into the space but is of insignificant proportions. The Zone AHU’s with high class filtration filter out air bourne particulate at the rate of 10 air changes per hour or more and the interior decorations are generally cleaner and retain their appearance better than conventionally served buildings. In such circumstances it is essential either to create a vapour barrier after the maturing process of the concrete is completed or to insulate the slab or both. Insulation is usually only used to reduce energy wastage. A Vapour barrier is quite easily obtained by varnishing the slab with antidust coat of PVA or epoxy or other similar products. The system has been applied in a wide range of climatic conditions from -20 to +50deg C and condensation has never been found to exist due to the system operation. 29 Your most frequent questions Have any studies been run on the IAQ or “Health” of the Flexible Space System? What advantages does the FSS system offer with regard to the provision of a Healthy Building. The Swedish Clinic of Occupational Medicine has carried out tests along with Healthy Building Inc. No condensates, moulds, or bacteria growth has ever been detected in all FSS installations in over 10 years - Recirculating air enriched with fresh air is continuosly “oxydising” the underfloor space leaving no chance for anaerobic growth. 1 High recycling air volumes (approx 10 times) coupled with high filtration standard (from G3 to F7) can remove pollen and other particulate. 2 High Ventilation effectiveness. 3 Good air distribution 4 Low temperature gradient 5 Easy inspection of the underfloor air void to removed debris and periodical cleaning, if necessary. How is the fresh air supply maintained if the Air Terminal dampers close to control the temperature. 1 FA is only partially introduced when terminal dampers are closed. 2 The fresh air introduced into the floor void quickly raises the concentration of fresh air. Therfore even though the dampers are closed to their minimum stop position the Fresh Air quantity remains fairly constant. All fresh air supply recommendations are based on a time period translated into a flow rate per second for commissioning purposes. Over an average day the Fresh Air quantity designed for a space can be expected to dilute the iar throughout that space enhancing the dilution of pollutants in the room air (carbon dioxide, monoxide, nicotine, others). 6 High flexibility in relocation of components avoiding unwanted draughts in the occupied space 7 Available additional space to fit extra air treatment for most stringent requirements. Even in highly occupied spaces FSS can complaint of draft be avoided. The terminal units may be located and later relocated to suit users in a matter of few minutes. Positioning of terminals is not as critical as with displacement “Swirl Grilles” or with ceiling grilles but generally placing the terminals approx 0,5 m from the work station or in a corridor or walkway avoids the issue of draft. Some users choose to sit directly over supply grilles. Others may prefer the units to be a short distance away. The ability to adjust the fan speed of the terminals is fundamental in this regard. 30 Your most frequent questions Which is the Indoor Air Quality norm? Can FSS control humidity? Modern science of air quality goes back more than 100 years. In 1895, ASHRAE predecessors adopted a ventilation standard calling for 30 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of outdoor air per occupant in buildings. 30 cfm = 50 m3/h Cooling coil temperatures are typically in the range of 9-13°C for dehumidification purposes. This air is then possibly too cold to deliver to the space. The full function control of the Zone AHU’s Hiross C and Hiross V adjusts both the cooling and after heating to produce supply air of the proper temperature before being delivered directly into the underfloor plenum. Low pressure hot water or electric heating coil options are available. Do you know that if you install FSS you don’t need a separate fresh air system? Using FSS AHUs the fresh air could be directly introduced into the return of the AHU by a HirossFA (Fresh Air Module). In this way any level of fresh air can be supplied by using a number of fresh Air Modules.: FSS easily complies with the Air Quality Norm. A good noise level could be influenced also by the raised floor type and return grilles? 1 Raised floor panels comprise a metal casing. By introducing a solid core, such as high-density particleboard, problems with hollow sounding floors are avoided and acoustic and thermal insulation performance is improved. How does the Flexible Space System comply with Acoustic norms concerning privacy and office requirements! The noise is the combination of HirossC/HirossV units and terminals depending on running conditions and quantity of terminals. Practical SPL in standard offices is in the range 35 - 40 dB(A). 2 In addition to the panel itself, carpet-finished systems offer a good level of acoustic insulation by damping vibrations. 3 Sound transmission between adjacent rooms with grilles served by the same plenum is attenuated using a “Sound attenuator” but this treatment is hardly ever required. 4 Cross talk between offices is also influenced by the choice or partition and the quality of seals where partitions abut ceilings etc. Often the ceiling void needs additional sound baffles above the partitions as ceiling tiles are less effective at attenuating sound than floor panels. 31
