The slimline high performance sail
A11-S Radiant metal ceiling sail

The A11-S radiant ceiling sail is a highly efficient radiant ceiling system that receives a flow of room air on all sides. If a full-surface insulation insert is not installed, the back of the sail can also actively contribute to room cooling.

The innovative A11 activation system has a special structure. The copper pipe and aluminium heat conducting rails are welded together using laser technology. The coils are permanently bonded to the metal plates using a special adhesive and high pressure, thereby ensuring optimum thermal transfer. Aluminium panels can also be activated using the adhesive technology, which results in further improvements in performance.

In order to satisfy the acoustic requirements, acoustic fleece is bonded in the back of the ceiling panels. In particularly sensitive areas, additional insulation strips can be inserted at the side of the coil to increase sound absorption without reducing the cooling capacity.

Cooling capacity

The cooling capacity corresponds to the amount of energy per second removed from the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14240.

For comparison: the heat emitted by a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W; the heat emitted by a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Heating capacity

The heating capacity corresponds to the energy per second added to the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14037.

For comparison: The heat output of a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W, whilst that of a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Sound absorption

As the largest unobstructed surface in a room, the ceiling is particularly well suited to sound absorption. The sound absorption class is determined in accordance with EN ISO 11654, based on measurements carried out in accordance with EN ISO 354 in accredited laboratories.

It serves as a parameter for acoustic designers to calculate the effect of a product on a room’s reverberation time.

Carbon footprint

The carbon footprint represents the total CO₂ emissions generated throughout a product’s life cycle (from manufacture through to operation and recycling/disposal).

It is calculated by independent institutes and summarised in an ‘Environmental Product Declaration’ (EPD). Barcol-Air is working specifically to reduce the proportion of high-emission materials such as aluminum and other metals.

By way of comparison: the production of 1 kg of aluminum releases approximately 16 kg of CO₂.
