…free cooling is not a new technology
- at least not in this region!
Indirect free cooling
indirect: water/glycol will be
used as a medium between
the inside and outside
Direct free cooling
direcf: a huge part of the
ambient air will be delivered
inside the data centre
Cooling the room without compressor operation: FREE COOLING
Free cooling for
IT-rooms

27. STULZ IT Cooling Solutions and Services 27
NEW CONCEPTS: STULZ Direct Free Cooling!
Advantages:
 High energy efficiancy by using direct free cooling technology –
no losses by additional heat exchangers
 High scalibility of the system „Build as you grow!“ –
no hydraulics (pipework, pumps, valves) at day 1 needed for the final stage
 Lower CAPEX compared with indirect free cooling systems
 Lower OPEX (energy consumption) the on all other systems

28. STULZ IT Cooling Solutions and Services 28
NEW CONCEPTS: STULZ Direct Free Cooling!
Conditions:
 Accepted room humidity level at approx. 20%- 80% r.H.
 Ambient conditions need to be observed (dust) while selecting the site
(not close to highways, harvest or in the city centres)
 Acceptance of possible ourside influences
(e. g. smoke, gas, etc.)
 Compromising the building safety
Structural conditions:
 Free in the construction of the building
 short distances of the air intake and extract (pressure losses)
 Air intake on the shadow side of the building
