Halton Rex Expander (RXP) - Installation, commissioning, and maintenance guide 1.4 Safety notes All information in this section is important and relevant for your safety. Pay special attention to these icons and the related safety texts when used later in context in this document.
2.2 Operating principle The primary supply air enters the plenum of the Halton Rex Expander chilled beam, from which it is diffused into the room through the nozzles and supply slots. The air jets from the nozzles induce ambient room air efficiently through the heat exchanger, where the air is cooled by means of the cool water circulating in the heat exchanger.

Halton Air Quality (HAQ) control Halton Air Quality (HAQ) control is used for adjusting or controlling the rate of the additional supply airflow in a room space. In normal conditions, fresh supply air is provided through the nozzles. Whenever additional air is needed (boost/VAV function), the HAQ control opens and provides more air.
