Description

ASHRAE Standard 200 was written at the request of the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) to provide test instrumentation and facilities, installation methods, and procedures for determining the capacity and related performance of chilled beams. Procedures provided in this standard apply to active chilled beams. This standard was prepared in cooperation with the AHRI Chilled Beams Section, and it is referenced in AHRI Standards 1240 (I-P) and 1241 (SI), Performance Rating of Active Chilled Beams, as the method of test for the AHRI Active Chilled Beam (ACB) certification program. The 2024 edition of Standard 200 updates normative and informative references.
