TOTAL/PARTIAL FREE COOLING (Option 305A; 305B)
Reducing operating costs and protecting the environment have become the key concerns, both for air conditioning applications,
and for industrial processes and cooling data centres.
The free cooling option allows significant energy savings to be made in all applications that require cooling throughout the year,
particularly when used in colder climates. In these regions, free cooling can be used to fulfil a large proportion of the cooling requirements
both economically and in a way that respects the environment.
Operating principle
When the outdoor air temperature is lower than the setpoint temperature, the free cooling hydraulic system can be used to cool the
customer loop by allowing fluid to circulate in the micro-channel coils, positioned in parallel with the MCHE condensers. With this type
of operation, it is possible to save energy when outdoor temperatures are low.
Hydraulic free cooling is available as 2 options:
-305A: Total hydraulic free cooling: the FC coils are built into each condenser on two refrigerating circuits.
-305B: Partial hydraulic free cooling: the FC coils are built into the condensers on a single refrigerating circuit.
