Free-Cooling
Free-cooling option includes separate cooling coil, three-way slow-close valve and separate supply and
return piping. Free-cooling is activated when the water temperature reaches a field-adjustable
temperature, typically 45°F (7°C). The valve is rated for 300psi (2068kPa) working pressure.
Air-cooled condensing units can be matched with evaporators using free-cooling coils with chilled
water sources to serve as backup cooling. When matched with a water/glycol condensing unit, a
three-way water regulating valve is recommended for the condensing unit to simplify piping to the
main supply pipes. The coil is designed for closed-loop applications using properly treated and
circulated fluid. Not available with SCR reheat options.

Free-cooling arrangement
Free-cooling option: A second
cooling coil allows the system to take
advantage of colder outdoor
temperatures and bypass compressor
operation.
When the water temperature goes
below 45°F (7°C), cooling switches
over to free-cooling operation. A
separate chilled water source can
also be used with air-cooled systems.
NOTE
If free-cooling is applied to an open water tower, an optional copper-nickel (CuNi) coil is
required to prevent premature corrosion, or a heat exchanger must separate the tower water
from the free-cooling loop. The copper-nickel coil requires an extended lead time.

Optional Configurations—Prop Fan Condensing Units
Outdoor Prop Fan Condensing Units are also available in the following optional configurations:
• High ambient models for providing catalog capacities at ambient temperatures up to 105°F
(40°C).
• Quiet-Line models for low noise level conditions (below 56 dBA) and for providing catalog
capacities at ambient temperatures up to 95°F (35°C).
• Condenser coils can be phenolic-coated for extended coil life in coastal areas.

Optional Configurations—Chilled Water Units
Chilled Water Units are also available with the following valve option:
• Three-way, slow-close, motorized chilled water valve rated for 300 psi (2068 kPa) working
pressure. Valve is non-spring return.
