Market Introduction
3What is a Free Cooling?
Free Cooling has become an established technology
recognised throughout Eastern and Northern
Europe by End Users, Architects Building
Services Engineers. Reducing Global Energy
Consumption and CO2 emissions is a Clients key
driver for his Buildings Cooling Processes,
reducing operating costs and environmental
impact. Free Cooling Chiller offers a
sustainable alternative, to reduce electrical
energy consumption during winter ambient
periods. The Free Cooling concept switches off
compressors when operating conditions allow, to
utilise Natural Cooling provided from Low Ambient
Air passing across a finned coil containing the
process liquid. Clients consider this as an
attractive solution. Ideal applications
benefit from having a high 24/7 base load and
operate with elevated system return liquid
temperatures typically above 15ºC and where the
ambient is predicted to be below 5ºC many
operating hours each year.
4Market Requirements For Free Cooling Chillers.
Our survey revealed this technology is increasing
in demand by many users. Although a niche Air
Cooled Chiller variant, specifications for such
products in most European regions is rapidly
increasing and the JCI Sales Teams request the
ability to support this technology alternative
with their Clients. There are a number of
various applications in which our traditional
Clients are currently specifying and Installing
such products- Locations, Long Cold Winters,
Northern Latitudes or Eastern Europe, High
Altitude. 24/7 Chiller Operating Applications
Data Centres, Switch Rooms and Industrial
Processes. Chilled Beam and Medium Temperature
Air Conditioning. Theatres, Cinemas and
Night-Clubs. Hospital Operating Theatres. As
Free Cooling is seen as a progressive Green
product solution.
5Sales Forecasts Market Assessment
- The Free Cooling project investigated the
potential for JCI Systems to offer Packaged Air
Cooled Free Cooling Chillers, following requests
originating mainly from Central and Eastern
Europe. - Initial forecast reviews for 2008 indicated a
likely requirement for 40 units. - 2010 Product AOP review (April 09) revised this
forecast downward to 26 units - Following PSS review of the European market
indicates there is a wide range of clients
applying the principals of Free Cooling to their
processes. We have concluded that there is a
legitimate market for this product variation as
the vast majority of Chiller manufactures offer
such products. Unfortunately there are no
official statistics to support sales volumes to
this market. However have seen many enquires for
multiple units. (One project for 18 x 750 kw
units which we are specified.) - It is Product Managements assessment that this
market has the ability (in normal market
conditions) to generate higher volumes than
indicated and we believe we have identified a
product to meet this demand.
6Alternative Approaches To Free Cooling Chillers?
- There are 4 design variations for Free Cooling
Systems applied to packaged Air
Cooled Chillers available in Europes market. -
- 1) Stand Alone Dry Air Cooler.
Technically the best solution. - Most efficient and flexible option, high
installation costs. JCI current solution. - 2) Built-in separate Dry Air Cooler.
Exclusive applications. - Good efficiency levels and often with very high
levels of specification, but greater
foot print and high cost. - Thermosyphen system. Carriers
Approach. - Utilises refrigerant circuitry, has low capital
cost and low efficiency. - Only two modes of operation restricting mid
season application. - Dual Function - Free Cooling and Condenser
Coil. Commercial. - Compact \ Price competitive solution preferred
by European MAC team as a product gap filler. - JCI new YSFC solution.
7Why JCI chose to use an OEM Supplier?
Review of the alternative design concepts
determined this technology could not be
simply applied to our current Product
range. The stand alone dry air cooler is the
most obvious Energy efficient solution. JCI
has been successful in winning such projects.
Many Clients now requesting packaged units to
reduce installation costs and space. The
built-in Dry Air Cooler Thermosyphen systems
both require major equipment redesign. The Dual
Function coil block requires less modification
to the existing products. Adding the additional
coils into the current condenser design the
units width would Increase, prohibiting JCI
from loading units into containers for Global
shipments.
8JCI Selected OEM Supplier
Following an extensive Market Review we identify
the alternative market suppliers and product
solutions. We finalised an OEM agreement with an
Italian producer specialising in the process
cooling market for a Unique Branded JCI Design
Dual Function - Free Cooling / Condenser Coil
A reciprocal agreement exists that if either JCI
or Hitemas existing distributors has a product
specified the other party should not chase down
the order. No other Hitema product may be ordered
from them without Product Management Authorisation

10Product Selection and Application
The YSFC is not seen as a replacement for the
YCIV. Both models have their unique benefits for
the client. You select which one is best.
YCIV

- High Summer efficiency 3.2 EER.
- High 4 ESEER mid season
- performance.
- Continuous VSD Cooling for
- extended low ambient efficiencies
- throughout the year.
- Lower Summer efficiency EER 2.6
- 3.7 ESEER performance
- 100 Free Cooling EER 26
- At an ambient approximately 16C below
- the return chilled liquid temperature there
- is no Mechanical Cooling required.
11Free Cooling Chiller Operating Modes
- Free Cooling units operate in 3 modes.
- Mechanical Cooling
- Chiller operates in refrigerating mode
- in summer ambient conditions.
- Partial Free Mechanical Cooling
- (excluding Thermosyphen system)
- Where Free Cooling works in series
- (up-stream) of Mechanical Cooling to
- reduce compressor load when lower
- ambient temperatures allow.
- Total Free Cooling (Condenser fans running)
- When the ambient air is cool enough to reject
the full heat load from the system.
12YSFC Free Cooling Chiller Operation
- During Summer Ambients the unit operates as a
typical chiller, - albeit at a reduced efficiency level. This is due
to the additional coil rows - required for the Free Cooling circuit placed in
front of the condenser. - As the ambient falls 6C below the return system
liquid temperature. - The 3-way valve redirects the flow through to
the Free Cooling Coil - in series with the evaporator enabling the
partial Free Cooling / - Mechanical Refrigeration mode.
- To maximise unit efficiency each circuit is
unloaded and disabled - in sequence as the ambient falls.
- Whilst a refrigerant circuit is operating the
fans continue to maintain - the minimum condensing pressure.
- As each refrigerant circuit stops, fan control
changes to maintain - leaving liquid temperature.
- Winter Ambients, where full free cooling is
achieved (without mechanical - cooling) the leaving chilled liquid temperature
is maintained at the desired - temperature by fan control.

37YSFC System Hydraulic Calculations
Caution when calculating the chilled liquid
pressure drop.
In mechanical cooling mode the total pressure
drop calculation is the 3 way valve and
interconnecting Hydraulic pipes Evaporator.
In partial or total Free Cooling modes the
pressure drop calculation is the 3 way valve,
distribution header, interconnecting hydraulic
pipes Free Cooling Coil Evaporator.
There is obviously a difference in system
resistance between the two modes. Discuss this
with the client and introduce the option of a
pressure regulating valve to equalise the system
pressure drop for each mode. This is installed in
the Hydraulic pipe between the 3-way-valve and
Evaporator.
System Working Pressure. Due to the limitation of
the three way valve and Hydraulic pipes the
chilled liquid static system pressure is limited
to 6 Bar.
38YSFC Documentation and selection process.
The engineering guide allows for manual selection
for both the Mechanical and Free Cooling Modes.
As the free cooling chiller application is more
suited to specific regions we plan not translate
Documents unit specific requests are
received. A selection program is in development
and will be distributed Q4 2009. In the interim
period please submit SQ for electronic
selections. We will have to pay the software
house an operator licence of 80 for each user.
Please email R Smeed to confirm your licence
requirement. Pricing is a manual operation using
the Master List Price, That will be included in
the intranet price pages, with the Multiplier
distributed to the Sales Managers as usual. The
OEM supplier is happy to work on special
applications and options. Please submit a
detailed SQ request for review potential quote.
