15.1.1 Description of operation
Free Cooling control makes it possible to exploit the temperature conditions of external air to facilitate cooling use water.
To this end, an heat exchanger is supplied. If necessary, a certain quantity of water is returned to this heat exchanger by the system,
deviated via an appropriately commanded valve.
The favourable conditions of outside air cause the water to cool beforehand, and, therefore activation of the cooling devices is delayed.
Free Cooling is available in the air/water unit in the internal Free Cooling mode only. i.e. with the Free Cooling battery housed inside the
machine near the condensation battery/ies, with which its shares control of the condensation fan/s.
BATTERIA DI CONDENSAZIONE = CONDENSATION BATTERY
BATTERIA DI FREE COOLING = FREE COOLING BATTERY
EVAPORATORE = EVAPORATOR
15.2 Free Cooling activation condition
The entire Free Cooling procedure is based on a relationship between the temperature value measured by the external temperature probe, and the
temperature value measured by the temperature probe located at the input of the Free Cooling battery and the set Free Cooling delta.
External T. < Free Cooling Input T. – Free Cooling Delta
If this condition occurs, the control manages Free Cooling, enabling /disabling the dedicated devices.
