EC tower
The split system for reliable and efficient cooling equipment and server rooms
If you need precise, reliable and cost effective air conditioning for small equipment and server rooms, the EC Tower is an energy efficient and long-lasting series that fits the bill. These units cool more efficiently, more reliably and more sustainably than conventional comfort air conditioning systems. They occupy little floor space, and their compact size means they can be integrated in existing server rooms without problem.

EC fans for maximum energy efficiency
The comfort air conditioning is designed in such a way that internal humidification is also taken into account. In order to create a pleasant climate for people, a room air conditioner therefore uses up to 40 % of its cooling capacity for dehumidification. In a technical room this continuous dehumidification is counterproductive.
The EC Tower is specially designed for rooms with comparatively high thermal loads such as equipment and server rooms. In addition, the EC-Tower does not dehumidify continuously but has a sensitive cooling capacity of over 90%. You benefit from greater efficiency and higher cooling performance, lower operating costs and, last but not least, greater reliability.
The EC Tower has a critical advantage over other solutions for this type of use: the three unit sizes are each available as standard with an optional accessory, such as a raised floor stand or duct connection adapter, which can be ordered off the shelf at any time at short notice. Long delivery times are therefore a thing of the past.
Low operating costs
Comparison of operating costs between EC Tower and comfort air conditioning unit
Example: required sensible cooling capacity 6.0 kW
| EC Tower | Comfort | Comfort | |
|---|---|---|---|
Type | ECD 91/ FDC 71 VNX | FDE VG/ FDC 71 VNX | 2x FDE 50 VG/ FDC 100 VS |
| Overall nominal cooling capacity at 24 °C/50 % indoors | 7.7 kW | 6.8 kW | 9.5 kW |
| Total nominal cooling capacity, available | 7.2 kW | 6.7 kW | 9.4 kW |
| of which sensible cooling capacity | 6.8 kW | 5.3 kW | 7.1 kW |
| of which latent cooling capacity | 0.4 kW | 1.4 kW | 2.3 kW |
| with a nominal air output | 2,500 m³/h | 960 m³/h | 1,200 m³/h |
| Supply air temperature | 20.0 °C | 15.9 °C | 15.3 °C |
| Humidifying capacity required by cooling process | 0.59 kg/h | 2.05 kg/h | 3.31 kg/h |
| Electricity consumption of humidification per year (6,362 equivalent full load hours) | 2,807 kWh/year | 9,781 kWh/year | 15,788 kWh/year |
| Mean electricity consumption (outdoor unit/indoor unit/total) | 2.26/0.45/2.71 kW | 2.03/0.08/2.11 kW | 3.0/0.12/3.12 kW |
| Electricity consumption for cooling per year without humidification (6,362 equivalent full load hours) | 17,231 kWh/year | 13,424 kWh/year | 19,849 kWh/year |
| Overall electricity consumption/year | 20,037 kWh/year | 23,205 kWh/year | 35,637 kWh/year |
| Operating costs/year (cooling and humidification) at an electricity price of 10 p/kWh | 2,004 GBP/year | 2,321 GBP/year | 3,564 GBP/year |
The operating costs are based on 24-hour full load operation 365 days of the year. Partial load mode is considered equivalent to 6,362 full load hours. The actual operating costs may differ considerably depending on the required capacity. A mean power consumption must be used for calculating electricity consumption per year. This differs from the nominal power consumption in that it takes account of the outside temperature profile over the year, as when calculating an annual energy rate. | |||
Maximum operational reliability
With a room climate that is stable throughout the year (temperature and humidity), your technical equipment always has precisely the right climate and the risk of failure is kept to a minimum. For the probability of failure is already 30 % higher at temperatures of 27 °C and above. This increases to as much as 50 % at 35 °C.
