Server Room / Data Center Chiller Air Conditioner
Low Ambient Cooling
24 x 7 cooling operation is crucial to the use of sensitive data processing equipment due to the considerable heat produced by electronic devices operating in close proximity to one another. Without reliable cooling, temperatures can quickly rise to levels that cause failure or automatic shutdown of critical equipment, loss of mission-critical data, leave some or all of the company's employees without the ability to connect to needed systems, and destroy expensive hardware.
Designed for cooling small server/computer rooms, indoor growing operations, or other equipment - with options for all climates from very hot to very cold - the Chiltrix chiller can offer small system performance that exceeds all industry standards by a wide margin, with high reliability, low acquisition cost, and exceptionally low operating costs. Dynamic humidity control available on all models.

- N+N REDUNDANCY - Regardless of using one, two, or more Chiltrix server room chiller modules for your base cooling requirement, one or more additional modules can be installed to provide low cost fail-over redundancy.
- DYNAMIC VARIABLE HUMIDITY CONTROL & DEHUMIDIFICATION - The ChiltriX heat pumps can use our patented DHC (Dynamic Humidity Control) to control humidity and increase both efficiency and capacity. Except when the doors are opened frequently, you probably don't need to worry much about latent heat or humidity control, as your cooling load is nearly 100% derived from a "dry" heat source, i.e. electric resistance heat from equipment components. Typical server room air cooling always tries to remove humidity, continuous cooling in a server room environment often lowers the humidity far more than is desirable. By lowering the amount of dehumidification performed by the server room chiller you can increase cooling capacity and save on energy usage, while at the same time maintaining proper levels of humidity. Note, a server room should ideally be at 50-60% relative humidity. Lower humidity means the risk of static discharge is greater, and wasted energy. Most server rooms suffer from humidity far lower than recommended. Many server room operators are forced to run humidifiers to control humidity. A correct (not too low, not too high) humidity is best and will result in lower core temperatures in the equipment, lower cooling costs, and safer operation. See HP's ASHRAE A1 recommended server room temperature and humidity document page 4 for the psychrometric chart.
- LOW AMBIENT OPERATION
& FREE COOLING - The Chiltrix FC30 FREE COOLING option includes a second outdoor fan coil, additional variable speed pump, and special controls to allow the server room chiller to harvest free cooling from cold outdoor air at times during the winter, reducing and/or eliminating the need to run the compressor when it's cold outside (see right-hand sidebar of this page for more details).
This system allows your full cooling load to be met even if outdoor temperatures are below a temperature that would disable a standard cooling system. Operation range (-50F to 120F).
- VARIABLE CAPACITY DC-Inverter variable speed compressor and pump match the chiller performance to the actual cooling load. A server room cooling load varies widely depending on activity. For example, an idling CPU generates as few as 100 BTU while at full frequency the same CPU can generate 1,200 BTU or more, so the cooling load varies throughout the day. After business hours, the cooling load generally drops by a wide margin, but with spikes as scheduled tasks, backups etc. are performed. The fully variable capacity Chiltrix unit are always exactly the right size system for the immediate cooling load.
- MODBUS Interface. Connect, control, and monitor via RS485 if needed.
Anti-Corrosion technology is used on all outdoor units to protect against salt air in coastal environments. See anti-corrosion details.

Psychrologix™ Controller DHC (Dynamic Humidity Control) function is designed to dynamically control humidity and operate the chiller above its already high efficiency rating. DHC prevents over-dehumidification, overly dry air (which increases static discharge) and prevents wasted energy. See DHC Details.
Dynamic Humidity Control is a patented technology only available from Chiltrix. |

Free Cooling Option
Low Ambient Cooling
The Chiltrix FC30 Server Room Free-Cooling Edition adds a "free cooling" option to what is already the world's most efficient chilled water system..
Server rooms need cooling all year, even when it is cold outside. If you operate in a northern area with cold winters, this option may be more than an energy savings approach, it may be an absolute requirement for you. Standard heat pumps and chillers can run in cooling mode down to around 5F before they must stop. With the FC30, the low end is extended to -50F.
Here's how the special FC30 unit works:
When outdoor temperatures drop, the CX unit glycol-water loop is automatically pre-cooled using a special water-to-air heat exchanger to harvest outdoor cold ambient conditions. This cools the glycol-water loop so that the CX unit variable speed compressor can drop to a lower speed and consume less power. This can save by reducing the already low power consumption, without lowering capacity.
At colder ambient, for example at 36F outdoor temperature, a CX chiller with FC30 can deliver 24,000 BTU load without running the compressor. And it can meet a 42,000 BTU load with the compressor off at 25F outdoor temperature. The FC30 units operates as low as -50F.
Enjoy the savings of free cooling for the cost of running a fan and a pump, and without any worry that it might get too cold for you current cooling system to run.
