Free Cooling


Potential savings thanks to Free Cooling

In temperate climes north and south of the equatorial zone, the energy-saving advantages of the STULZ CyberAir 3PRO DX ASR with Indirect Dynamic Free Cooling or Direct Free Cooling can be exploited to the full.

Regions suitable for Free Cooling

Indirect Dynamic Free Cooling

Up to 60 % savings on running costs with Indirect Dynamic Free Cooling

  • The electronically controlled GE refrigeration system combines compressor cooling and Free Cooling in four stages:
    • FC – Free Cooling energy-saving mode
    • EFC – Extended Free Cooling mode
    • Mixed – Compressor and Free Cooling
    • DX – Compressor cooling
  • Electronic load distribution for partial load mode
  • Increased compressor efficiency in Mixed mode thanks to the electronic expansion valve
  • The world’s first system with automated efficiency optimization
  • Control based on outside temperature and heat load in the Data Center, without fixed Free Cooling starting temperature with networking of all active components: air conditioning units including standby units, control valves, compressors, EC fans, pumps and dry coolers

Direct Free Cooling for small to medium-sized Data Centers

To enable Direct Free Cooling to be used in small and medium-sized Data Centers as well, the CyberAir 3PRO DX units can be equipped with the FreeCool Plenum Free Cooling box. 

CyberAir 3PRO DX with FreeCool Plenum

The CyberAir 3PRO DX with FreeCool Plenum combines Free Cooling and compressor cooling in 4 stages:

Free Cooling
Outside air damper opens. Outside air flows through the filter directly into the unit, then into the Data Center; compressor off.

Extended Free Cooling
The cooling capacity is kept constant by increasing the airflow. Outside air damper open; compressor off.

Mixed mode
If the fan reaches maximum speed and Extended Free Cooling is no longer sufficient, the compressor is switched on for support; outside air damper open; compressor runs in partial load mode.

DX mode
The unit works in Compressor mode; outside air damper closed.
