BYPASS VARIABLE AIR VOLUME TERMINAL UNIT

Bypass VAVs combine the advantages of proven air handling

concepts to give complete zoning flexibility from a single zone source.
The VAVs complement by providing excellent temperature control and
central air distribution with unlimited zoning. The added advantage of
multi-zone systems are by supplying centralized air distribution from
unwanted zones to demand related zones.

Bypass Variable Volume Terminal Unit

Model: VAV - BP

SYSTEMS PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cosmos Bypass Terminal Unit is a single duct pressure dependent air terminal unit, designed for use with popular constant
volume low and medium pressure packaged air handling systems or roof top air conditioning units at low prime cost.
Temperature control is achieved by supplying only enough conditioned air to the space to satisfy room thermostat demand.
Excess air is diverted (bypassed) directly to the return air ceiling plenum for free or ducted return. Airflow to each occupied
zone will vary on thermostat demand, from full flow to shut-off or to a set minimum air volume.

Bypass terminals can be added to a single-zone constant volume system to provide zoning without the energy penalty of a
conventional reheat system, providing low first cost with minimum fan controls. The Combination of efficient pressure
independent VAV & VFD driven AHU is more energy efficient
compared to these system. Its most frequent application is on

UNIQUE DAMPER DESIGN

COSMOS
Air Distribution Products

COSMOS Bypass terminal units utilize a unique damper for superior

control and performance. A common problem with standard pivoted
single blade damper designs is objectionable noise and loss of
modulation due to pulsating and / or a snap-closing action of the
valve. This is caused by a poor valve design, which struggle to
modulate turbulent airflow arid require excessive torque.

The COSMOS damper eliminates these problems. The special

damper design smoothly modulates between supply and bypass
conditions essentially self - balancing, requirement.

The precisely design damper operates with minimum torque.

Performance Notes:
1) Discharge sound power is the noise emitted from the unit discharge into the downstream duct.
2) Radiated sound power is the breakout noise transmitted through the unit casing walls.
3) Sound power levels are in decibels, dB re 10-12 watts.
4) All sound data listed by octave bands is raw data without any corrections for room absorption or
duct attenuation.
Dash (-) in space indicates sound power level is less than 20 or equal to background.
5) Minimum discharge DPs is the static pressure loss through the unit with 100% airflow through discharge outlet.
6) Minimum bypass DPs is the static pressure loss through the unit with 100% airflow through the bypass outlet.
