HEAT EXTRACTION
lleat extraction troffgrs ofler a simple
effectlve means of contro ling the
hear generdled by f \t-'e operal o'.
A substantial portion of the unwanted
heat is removed at the source before
entering the occu pied zone. This
helps achieve thermal comfort, while
at the same t me the cool ng load in
the space is reduced. n the typ ca
instal at on, effect ve heat extraction
may approach 60%.
By virtue of the cooling effecl on the
fluorescent lamps a substantial
increase n lght output is also
rea lzed. This s charted as afunction
of the total return-air vo ume.
