Absolute: FreeCooling – freecooling system
The Absolute: FreeCooling system is designed for cost-effective cooling of objects by controlled supply of colder outdoor air into the premises. Supports joint work with the air conditioning system, optionally with heating equipment.
Application: base stations of telecom operators, data centers, industrial premises.
Priority cooling is provided by freecooling. Cold air enters through the air intake, passes through the check valve, supply fan and air filter. Warm air is expelled through the check valve. Air conditioning (heating) is switched on only if the free cooling capacity is insufficient, as well as in cases when the operation of the free-cooling system is prohibited.
The system is controlled depending on the ambient temperature and the room temperature in accordance with the set operation logic.
Functionality
- Cooling of the controlled room in the range of external temperatures from +5°С to +50°С.
- Automatic opening/closing of the inlet/outlet air dampers at the set temperatures, adjustment of the angle of inclination of the shutters.
- Automatic switching on/off of fans at set temperatures (power adjustable).
- Automatic switching on / off of air conditioners (heaters) with protection against frequent switching on.
- Programming of work algorithms.
- Reading temperature and/or humidity from digital sensors (inside / outside and sensors from air conditioners).
- Monitoring the status of valves (open/closed) and fans (on/off).
- Monitoring the status of each of the input ports.
- Determining the flooding of the room when a leakage sensor is connected.
Configuration
Absolute: FreeCooling consists of a freecooling installation with connected climate equipment. All components of the system are controlled by a FreeCooling controller with software in accordance with programmable algorithms. The connection of external software based on the IoT platform Absolute: SmartCloud allows you to organize remote monitoring of an unlimited number of geographically distributed engineering facilities and remotely control their operation in both automatic and manual mode.
