NEUTON
™
PUMP MODULE
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
NEUTON™ is the HVAC industry’s first smart, plug-and-
play controlled chilled beam pump module (CCBPM)
for reducing chilled beam system installation and
operational costs .
NEUTON™ is a factory-built and pre-tested CCBPM
package complete with its own powered integrated direct
digital controller, chilled and hot water connections,
valves, variable-speed electronically commutated motor
(ECM) pumps, zone sensors, and other unique features .
The device provides active condensation control
effectively addressing one of the key design concerns
regarding active chilled beams .
The intuitiveness of NEUTON™ eliminates the expense
of a separate chiller, boiler and secondary water
distribution system associated with conventional chilled
beam HVAC designs . Instead of expensive secondary
piping loops, each NEUTON™ blends and re-circulates
return water within its zone to convert typical 42°F and
140°F primary loop water temperatures to optimal 58°F
or 100°F chilled beam discharge temperatures, which
prevents cooling mode condensation and heating season
heat stratification .
Each NEUTON™ can control up to 10 chilled beams,
depending upon the water flow rate required .
Numerous important design advantages are provided by
the combination of Pinnacle systems with active chilled
beams including:
•
Very high energy efficiency
•
Very low primary airflow requirements
•
Low noise levels
•
Reduced filter maintenance – central location not
room by room
•
Ideal air distribution
•
Improved indoor air quality – excellent outdoor air
delivery
•
Ideal humidity control
•
Active condensation control
