INTRODUCTION

1.1     General

The 

Compact CWE™

 fl oor mounted, precision 

air conditioning system covered by this manual is 
designed and manufactured by Stulz Air Technology 
Systems, Inc. (SATS) and uses the latest, state-of-
the-art control technology. Recognized as a world 
leader, SATS provides air conditioning systems with 
the highest quality craftsmanship using the fi n-
est materials available in the industry. The unit will 
provide years of trouble free service if installed and 
maintained in accordance with this manual. Damage 
to the unit from improper installation, operation or 
maintenance is not covered by the warranty.

STUDY the instructions contained in this manual. 
They must be followed to avoid diffi culties. Spare 
parts are available from SATS to insure continuous 
operation. Using substitute parts or bypassing 
electrical or cooling components in order to continue 
operation is not recommended and will VOID THE 
WARRANTY. Due to technological advancements, 
components are subject to change without notice.

Compact CWE

 systems are designed to be installed 

indoors unless otherwise noted on the equipment. 

1.2     Product Description

Compact CWE

 systems are designed to be the most 

versatile and fl exible fl oor mounted air condition-
ing systems in the industry. 

Compact CWE

 units are 

available in upfl ow or down fl ow air confi gurations and 
utilize highly effi cient, electronically commutated (EC) 
fans. The cooling capacity, in kW, will depend on the 
unit size which can range from 30 to 360 kW. (1 kW = 
3415 BTU/Hr). Refer to the unit nameplate to identify 
the model number and cooling capacity of your unit. 

Compact CWE

 systems operate with an external 

source of chilled water. The chilled water system is 
a closed loop circuit in which cold water is circulated 
through a chilled water coil. On demand for cooling, 
the microprocessor controller begins modulating the 
chilled water valve open. Chilled water fl ows to the 
coil at a rate that varies proportionally to the amount 
of cooling required. The controller modulates the 
valve opening together with the fan speed to meet 
the user selectable temperature setpoint. Heat from 
the surrounding air is transferred through the fi nned 
tubing of the coil into the cold water. Water is then re-
circulated back to the cold water source.

Compact CWE

 systems are designed to supply air to 

only one room.

NOTE

Compact CWE

 systems are strictly for non-

residential applications.

The functional modes of operation, in addition to 
cooling, are heating, humidifi cation, dehumidifi cation 
and fi ltration which provide complete environmental 
control of a conditioned space.

There are two air fl ow pattern confi gurations, upfl ow 
and downfl ow, and several cabinet sizes based 
on the type of system and capacity. Regardless of 
confi guration, 

Compact CWE

 systems are compact 

and versatile.  See the Installation drawing provided 
with your unit for the layout and dimensions of the 
cabinet.

The 

Compact CWE

 unit is provided with a factory 

mounted, main power disconnect switch with a 
lockable handle. The disconnect switch electrically 
isolates the unit during routine maintenance. The 
system incorporates state of the art component 
protection with the use of motor start protectors or 
circuit breakers.

The advanced 

E

² microprocessor controller is 

provided as a standard for 

Compact CWE

 systems. 

This controller provides superior features for more 
comprehensive control of the unit. These features 
include: full alarm system; input/output monitoring 
status; full integrated control of heating, cooling, 
humidifi cation, and dehumidifi cation; multi-A/C unit 
control and remote communication with building man-
agement systems.

The controller user interface display panel is typically 
mounted on the front door of the A/C unit. It features 
a high resolution touch screen display offering 
enhanced graphical display capabilities and a round 
membrane type keypad to navigate through the 
controller menus and adjust operating parameters. 

An easy to read, backlit liquid-crystal alphanumeric  
display panel is also available as an option. 

An operating manual for the 

E

² controller is provided 

under separate cover. Refer to that manual for 
detailed instructions on operating the system 
controller.
