Quick Facts
PARAGON has been developed for the purpose of creating an optimal indoor climate mainly in hotel rooms and hospital patient rooms. PARAGON Wall has been developed for creating a well-performing indoor climate in offices where technical installations are meant to be located in the rear edge of the room.
A strong focus has been directed on a high degree of comfort, low installation costs as well as low running costs. Since the Paragon is driven by a central air handling unit, there is no built-in fan that would otherwise generate sound and require servicing. Through patent-pending technology, the built-in coil is optimally utilized which provides high cooling/heating capacity while the air pressure and airflows are low. The optimal use of the coil also provides a design that minimizes the height of the unit. this makes Paragon b chilled beams possible to increase the ceiling height in a hotel room entrance to create more volume and brightness.
The PARAGON models are designed for dry systems, i.e. without condensation and therefore does not require any condensate drainage system or any filter. The minimum number of moving parts and lack of filter guarantees very little need for maintenance.
The PARAGON chilled beams operate according to the induction principle. A centrally located air handling unit distributes primary air via the duct system into the plenum of the unit and creates excess pressure. The plenum is equipped with a number of sliding strips that in turn contain a row of nozzles of various sizes. The excess pressure in the plenum forces the primary air through the nozzles at relatively high velocity. When the primary air is distributed at high velocity through the nozzles, negative pressure is created in the space above the built-in heat exchanger(coil). The negative pressure draws(induces) the room air up through the heat exchanger where the air is treated as required. Click here to learn more [chilled beam induction process].

PARAGON Model
The PARAGON model is designed to be installed in a bulkhead. It has bottom return air and horizontal front discharge. PARAGON cools, heats and ventilates to create an optimal indoor climate. The compact comfort module is primarily designed for hotels and hospitals but can also be installed in offices.
PARAGON provides high cooling/heating capacity through optimal utilization of its cooling/heating coil already while the air pressure and airflows are low. At the same time, the installation height of the product is kept at an absolute minimum which enables maximum room height in e.g. the entrance to a hotel room.
PARAGON Model
The PARAGON Wall model is designed to be installed in wall with both supply and return air paths in the wall. For example, the PARAGON chilled beam is installed in the corridor, with the supply and return air connections through the wall in the adjacent room.
As the product uses the same grille for both the distribution of supplied air and the recirculation of the supply air, this makes a technical installation outside the relevant room possible, which gives several important advantages.
PARAGON Airflow and Capacity Control
The supply air discharged into rooms are advantageously distributed as straight as possible by allowing it to follow the ceiling, i.e. utilize the Coanda effect. This enables the air to reach all the way to the perimeter wall. If fan shape air distribution is desirable, this is simply achieved by means of the ADC (Anti Draught Control) feature, which is standard in PARAGON comfort modules. If vertical air distribution is desirable, this is achieved by setting the louvres of the outlet grille to slant upward or downward. You can also lock the angle setting of the outlet grille using an accessory that secures the louvres in fixed position.

PARAGON Airflow Pattern in Hotel Room
PARAGON models include field adjustable nozzles as standard. Adjusting the nozzles allows the chilled beam capacity to changes during commissioning or if future requirements change. This is a great advantage when the space is repurposed as it avoids having to change the chilled beam. The adjustable nozzles utilize a sliding plate that can be adjusted with a screwdriver.

PARAGON is available in 3 sizes that are well suited for hotel and patient room requirements. The air connection to the PARAGON beam air connection is centered for simplified logistics on the construction site and reduces the risk of incorrect installation during service and maintenance. The water connection side is optional on the right or left side and with a pipe kit accessory, it is possible to select the water connection on the backside.
The largest size can also be available as a suite variant with double air connection for larger rooms requiring larger airflow.
PARAGON Comfort Module with Supply and Exhaust Air Kits
PARAGON comfort modules are often supplied supply and exhaust air kits. The kits include silencers, either a commissioning damper or motorized damper and an exhaust air register.
CLA Silencer
Swegon CRPc – 9 Manual Balancing Damper
Swegon CRM Motorized Damper
Manual balancing dampers speed up commissioning and help ensure a properly balanced system. Using motorized dampers allows the chilled beam system to become a Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) system offering significant energy savings. The CRM is a 2 position damper which can stop airflow whenever the room is not in use.
Swegon React – Independent Airflow Control Damper
The Swegon React damper can combine both automatic balancing and demand control ventilation. The damper includes an airflow measuring device. When the space is occupied, the damper will adjust to allow only the preprogrammed amount of supply air and return air into the room. This can maintain room pressurization and manage stack effect in taller buildings. When the room is not in use, the damper can be closed.
Swegon EXC Exhaust Air Register
The round Exhaust Air Register is typically installed in the bathroom.
Hotels often use specialize room control systems that are integrated into their room management systems. Swegon can supply a wide range of control accessories to reduce installation time. This includes:
- 24-volt 2 position or modulating heating and cooling valves
- Swegon CCO valve (24-volt power supply, 0-10 VDC control signal)
- Condensate sensors
- 24-volt position isolation dampers
- React independent airflow control modulating dampers (24-volt power supply, 0-10 VDC control signal)

Installation Details
PARAGON b and PARAGON Wall installation
The PARAGON and PARAGON Wall are delivered with four mounting brackets designed for installation directly against the ceiling or installation suspended from the ceiling. The mounting brackets allow a certain amount of further adjustment after the comfort module/ceiling mounting brackets have been mounted as accurately as possible. This enables you to position the supply collar correctly in relation to the wall and the grille.
Installation Details
PARAGON will be supplied with ½” NPT connections at the coil. When hoses are supplied, building end connection can be ½” NPT or ½” compression fitting.
Air Connection
PARAGON units have a centered air connection.
If the supply air kit is included in the installation, connect the parts in the following order:
- PARAGON b or PARAGON Wall comfort module
- Sound attenuator, CLA
- CRT motor-driven damper
Note that the supply and exhaust air kits are also available in 4 in dia. This kit is suitable for use if the space is limited and low airflows are discharged into the room.
Finishing
The work of building the soffit around the terminal can begin when the PARAGON has been completely installed. PARAGON is adapted so that load-bearing T-bar systems in combination with mineral wool slabs or the like could be used to build the soffit. Plasterboard also works well.
Accessories
Supply air kit – PARAGON T-SAK-VAVA motor-driven damper is needed in applications where the user wants to apply demand control ventilation (DCV). The sound attenuator minimizes cross talk between rooms through the ductwork and sound from the damper. As standard, the connection has an OD of 5 in.. There is also a connection with an OD of 4 in. available, which is suitable when the space is limited. The following components are included in PARAGON T-SAK-VAV:
| Motor-driven damper | CRTc including 24 volt 2 position actuator |
| Sound attenuator | CLA rectangular sound attenuator with circular connection spigots |
A commissioning damper is needed to ensure the correct airflow if a simpler regulation system with constant airflow has been selected. The sound attenuator minimizes cross talk through the ducting as any sound from the damper. As standard, the connection has an OD of 5 in. There is also a connection with an OD of 4 in. available, which is suitable when the space is limited. The following components are included in PARAGON T-SAK-CAV:
| Commissioning damper | CRPc-9 commissioning damper with perforated damper blade and manually adjustable blade. |
| Sound attenuator | CLA rectangular sound attenuator with circular connection spigots |
If the supply air is demand-controlled, the exhaust air also needs to be feed-back controlled. An exhaust air kit is needed for balancing the supply air and the exhaust air. Precisely like the supply air kit, this kit consists of a motor-driven damper and a sound attenuator. In addition an exhaust air register and two alternative mounting frames are included: one with a nipple and one with a joint.
| Motor-driven damper | CRTc including 24 volt 2 position actuator |
| Sound attenuator | CLA rectangular sound attenuator with circular connection spigots |
| Extract air register | EXCa and accompanying mounting frames: one with circular connection spigot and one with circular connection sleeve. |
A commissioning damper is needed in systems with constant airflows in order to balance the exhaust airflow with the supply airflow. Therefore a kit designed for constant airflows is available for simpler systems. This kit contains commissioning damper, sound attenuator, exhaust air register and mounting frames.
