Refrigerants
Stulz offer R22, R407C, R410a, R134a All without significant derating ???
Refrigerants
EU regulations are requiring replacement of R22 The choice of replacement is R407C, R410A, or R134a
Except when you order product they deliver units with R22

100% R134a

Refrigerant for extreme ambient temperatures R134a Advantages No mixture of components No Temperatureglide Servicefriendly Disadvantage Reduction of cooling capacity has to be compensated by using bigger compressors Also EER reduction

Electronic Expansion Valve

Fast reaction time 1.5 second Fully true hermetic design, body from stainless steel No additional solenoid valve necessary Continuous modulation of mass flow, no stress in the refrigeration circuit Ceramic slide and port parts for highly accurate flow and minimal wear

Note brand of EEV - Alco

Electronic Expansion Valve: Benefit

Controlled dehumidification at constant airflow
The EEV valve opens for dehum operation ?

No risk of hot spots ->Means safe conditions for computer equipment

It seems like they have had some issues with hot spots in the room by varying the air flow

Extended dehumidification (selectable) if the preseted humidity is not reached after 30 minutes the airflow will be reduced in addition
Sounds like they are not sure of how well it will work

Increased capacity and COP by precise control with short response time and point-precise setting of superheating optimized saturation of the evaporator Low pressure can be controlled independent of high pressure Therewith is cold water usable to increase capacity in water-cooled DX systems

Increased efficiency for water-cooled DX

Regular Operation Cold-water Operation

Condensing Temperature: 45C => Capacity: 41,0 kW Power Input: 8,8 kW COP: 4,67 Capacity: + 17% Power Input: -15% COP: +37%

Condensing Temperature: 35C => Capacity: 48,0 kW Power Input: 7,45 kW COP: 6,41
Works at low ambient conditions. Requires cold water supply at 20C. OK for cold winter climates.

Electronic Expansion Valve: Benefit

Only two EEVs covers the whole capacity range ( from 10 up to 60 kW) The same valve can be used for all refrigerants
R407C R410A R134a

Besides Uniflair and Citec, Stulz will be the only major manufacturer who includes the EEV as standard
This will be an option on DS and Himod. Expect another Energy Efficiency play here.

New Compressors series

Extension of Copeland series Summit Reduced dimensions and weight One bottom plate for all One height Always same connection points World wide available Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP) Selling the benefits of Copeland Scroll compressors!

Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP)

ASTP protects your compressor from excessively high discharge temperatures The compressor is protected, but the motor runs further. Internal balance between high pressure and suction side One of the many features of Copeland Scroll compressors

This is where it gets interesting: The slides below are from our Beat Stulz Silver Bullets Presentation
EC Evaporator Fans

Based on the Beat These fans look great, but how do I get them out ? Stulz program and Silver Bullets presentations & critique it appears that the changes have been now made to the CyberAir 2 to counter our criticism
NC#3 Humidifier Steam Nozzle

Electric Heaters
Heater elements envelop the EC fan Retaining clamps are riveted to each element Removal would require rear access and/or fan removal High MTTR !!

EC Evaporator Fans
CyberAir Operating Instruction manual recognises the removal challenge ! High MTTR (Mean-Time-To-Repair) !!!

Humidifier steam nozzle accessible from REAR of unit only Australian Standard AS3666.2 requires access for inspection and cleaning

NC#2 Evaporator Drain Tray Access

Evaporator drain tray accessible from REAR of unit only Australian Standard AS3666.1 requires access for inspection and cleaning

CyberAir 2 - Outstanding accessibility

front access to all maintenance relevant components They have come up with the answers to the criticisms liquid receiver / safety valve

compressor

filter dryer

steam humidifier

EC-Fan
11

Outstanding accessibility
Himod and PEX always had it

Front access to all maintenance relevant components

Note - This shows a 3 fan unit, a single fan unit will have both the fans and pipework in front of the fan

The lifting in and out of replacement compressors at least 600 mm above floor level will be interesting

compressor
Even though it looks like the EC fan plate is hinged for service, for access need to it lift out

liquid receiver / safety valve

filter dryer
Pipe connections obstruct on the LH side The middle fan should be OK to remove

steam humidifier
The humidifier has to be removed on the LH side In all cases the mullions maybe in the way

EC-Fan

Note top and bottom handles

12

Accessibility: Electrical reheat/ humidifier Accessibility:

CyberAir CyberAir 2
Receiver mounted on inner skin

Fan access from rear, with some models also requiring side access

Fan encircled heater

Access more difficult on Water cooled units

It was nearly impossible to replace heater elements

Once field piping connected how will the heater element be removed

one humidifier position

flat profile heater

Uneven reheat only on one side of unit

Pipework in front of compressors

13

Reliability: refrigerant circuit

CyberAir CyberAir 2
EEV location

Solder Fittings were replaced with Pipe Elbows

Now flare connection on the drier

The pipework still looks rough No Valve or spud connection on compressor Hot works still required in room.

Compressor support beams

14

Accessibility : Pipe ducting

) CyberAir 2 Only one standardized duct area for all unit sizes New bottom plate
Water cooled units not shown where the pipework and WRV will take up more access space Once field piping connected how will the heater element be removed

Yes all the possibilities was a nightmare for the contractor

Concentration of re heat at one end / side of unit

condensate drain pipe duct area humidifier inlet insertion for power cable
Pipe duct area leads contractor to run pipework in front of and across fan outlet

Overlapping elements. Multiple W shape elements

Behind the service flaps

OK Why do they need service flaps ?

Behind the service flaps

Unit size Service flaps size 1 size2 size 3-5 1 2 3

17

Why do they need service flaps ? To clean out the condensate tray To access the humidifier distribution pipes

A Cross Section
Based on a width of 890mm this CAD dwg shows the unit to be over 2000mm high Filter overlaps coil to allow for smooth air flow

Condensate and Humidifier distributor dain tray app 200 mm below the bottom of the evap. coil Distance between Fan inlet and back panel is approx 200mm

Looks like a 560mm dia EC fan No condensate trap provided in the unit

18

Behind the service flaps

Good steam distribution compared to the previous single outlet on CyberAir 1

Still no by pass air which could be a problem with water in the base of unit and and floor

OK Why do they need service flaps = Service flaps can be seen just in front of the distributor nozzle pipe

Stainless Steel tray

New Condenser - Target

Will follow existing philosophy e.g. Pressure actuated Fan cycling control fitted as an option or Fan speed control supplied loose for the contractor to fit as options when requested Cabling and piping loose

Higher availability Cost Reduction Clear product line Cancellation of former temperature classification
No isolating switch fitted as standard or as an option Looks like at least 6 rows deep. Condenser Fan Power consumption not considered in Calculations!?!?

Reduction of sound pressure groups (only two are requested from the market) Epoxy coating for all sizes (continuously available as option) Free choice of casing material (Aluminium or galvanised steel)
20

Condenser
Former condenser product family:
57 different condensers types 3 sound groups A, B and C 3 temperature classes X,Y and Z after all only 37 different

The new series consists of:

27 types 2 sound groups (There will be

condensers, because some Z condensers are same to construction like the X condenser of smaller achievement and some C condensers are also used in sound group A

13 standards and 14 LowNoise types) All Types in 50Hz and 60Hz available

Presuming that the new series will also be outsourced

Sounds simple but probably lost in the translation
