INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The Mini-Space EC

 fl oor mounted precision air conditioning 

system covered by this manual is designed and manufactured 
by STULZ Air Technology Systems, Inc. (STULZ) using 
the latest state-of-the-art control technology. 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 system warranty.

Study the instructions in this manual; they must be followed 
to avoid diffi culties. Spare parts are available from STULZ 
to insure continuous operation. Using substitute parts or 
bypassing electrical or refrigeration 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.

Mini-Space EC

 

systems and centrifugal condensers are 

designed to be installed indoors, unless otherwise noted on 
the equipment. Propeller-type condensers, drycoolers and 
pump packages are designed for outdoor use.

1.2 Product 

Description

The DX-based versions of the Mini-Space EC precision A/C 
system are available in air-cooled, water-cooled and glycol-
cooled confi gurations. A chilled water confi guration of the unit 
is also available.  The cooling capacity in kW will depend on 
the unit size, which can range from 4kW (12 MBH) to 14 kW 
(48 MBH). Mini-Space EC systems are designed to operate 
with R410A refrigerant. 

NOTE

Mini-Space EC

 

systems are designed to supply air 

to only one room.

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. The cabinet is available in one footprint size: A compact 
23.8 inches wide by 22.7 inches deep.

 The cabinet is designed for convenient, 100% front access. 
There are four airflow pattern configurations; upflow, 
downflow, rear return, and front discharge. The basic 
cabinet height remains the same, (72.8”), regardless of the 
confi guration. An optional plenum box may be selected (for 
upfl ow and rear-return units only), which adds an extra 18.5” 
to the height. See the installation drawing provided with your 
unit for the layout and dimensions of the cabinet. 

The Mini-Space EC 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 
and circuit breakers.

Mini-Space EC units have a STULZ 

 series microprocessor 

controller that provides a full alarm system, status monitoring, 
cooling/humidifi cation control, multi-system networking and 
BMS integration.
