TROX GROUP has been included in the private project of the Library rehabilitation, in Newcastle, UK, an investment that has reached the £40m. For this project, TROX developed roof-mounted multiservice chilled beams. Considering the existing space limitations, not all chilled beams provide cooling air through a duct, but some units are individually controlled by fans, keeping the same visual appearance in the occupied area.

Within this project, special areas have been treated, the so-called "glass boxes" where the beams, in the absence of false ceilings, were installed in a panorama perspective, so that each multi-unit includes a fan. These reflect a need for custom design of the facility, thus satisfying the project technical and aesthetic requirements.

According to the company’s press release, the main challenge consisted in assembling the units, and its integration inside the building. The aerodynamic shape of the front, with outstretched wings on both sides, ensures the coanda effect and the proper air distribution. To meet the project requirements, the units were tested at the TROX laboratories.
