High-capacity free cooling

A site-specific cooling solution is the way to begin reducing your energy bill intelligently, but the actual intelligence lies in the control of the units. With remote and real-time control and reduced energy consumption, our range of commercial high-capacity free cooling units will suit your needs. Enquire below and speak to an expert today.


Why choose high capacity cooling units?

From air traffic control and digital communication to web services and remote conferencing, in today’s modern world countless people, organisations and systems rely on the continuity of data centres and other critical digital infrastructure during all hours of the day.

This places heavy loads on these important electronic devices, generating a significant amount of heat. Without a dedicated electronic cooling solution, air temperatures can quickly build, causing key infrastructure to have its performance degrade over time, or even break.

If these facilities experience service outages, millions could be affected, causing costly and disruptive issues for customers and clients around the world.

To minimise unwanted downtime and keep equipment working for as long as possible, high capacity free cooling systems are the solution of choice.

Instead of relying on costly, consumptive compressors and harmful refrigerant gases found in conventional air-conditioning, free coolers use only outdoor temperatures to regulate inside conditions and ensure electronic devices operate effectively.

This means energy efficiency is maximised, energy consumption is minimised and notable savings are generated, especially when compared with traditional mechanical cooling systems.

As climate control experts in our own right, Dantherm free cooling systems are built with reliability, sustainability, flexibility and ease of use at their core, designed to generate meaningful savings in any climate or setting.

Combined with remote and real-time control, our high capacity free cooling solutions represent the most energy efficient technology for enterprise data centres, cloud services and other vital electronic infrastructure, and are able to operate in a vast array of climates, preserve the integrity of core electronic components, and deliver total heat management throughout all four seasons.

High-capacity free cooling units: Frequently Asked Questions

What are high-capacity free cooling units?

To keep essential infrastructure operating without interruption in electronics and telecoms shelters, it is vital to maintain the ideal temperature inside and prevent core components from overheating.

High-capacity free cooling units offer total heat management by using cooler ambient air from outside to keep these environments at the perfect conditions, both efficiently and cost-effectively.

How do high-capacity free cooling units work?

While conventional air-conditioning units depend on consumptive compressors and harmful refrigerant gases to keep air cool, high-capacity free cooling units only need cool ambient air to deliver results – a resource these systems may use in one of two different ways:

Turbulent free cooling circulates the cool air throughout every corner of the shelter before it is extracted – a process that requires more energy and suits larger facilities.

Displacement free cooling creates a cushion of cool air by supplying outside air at the bottom of the room, forcing heat up and out – a low-cost approach best for smaller shelters.

What are the benefits of using high-capacity free cooling units?

High-capacity free cooling units represent one of the most energy-efficient, cost-conscious ways of keeping technical shelters at the right temperature in extreme conditions.

Additionally, these units are environmentally friendly, consuming significantly less energy when compared to conventional air-conditioning. Free cooling also requires no refrigerant gases, further minimising the carbon footprint of this technology.

What is the difference between high-capacity free cooling units and traditional air-conditioning systems?

Where conventional air-conditioning needs compressors and refrigerant gases to regulate temperatures, high-capacity free coolers use nothing more than outdoor temperatures to maintain ideal conditions.

As well as operating on different principles, the running costs associated with each type of unit are significantly different – with free cooling being the most economical and environmentally-friendly option out of the two.

What types of buildings are suitable for high-capacity free cooling units?

High-capacity free cooling units are designed to provide climate control in buildings that contain temperature-sensitive electronic equipment, such as:

  • Telecom shelters
  • Data centres
  • Technical rooms

How long do high-capacity free cooling units last?

By bringing together decades of climate control expertise, quality components and a commitment to sustainability, we design and build our market-leading high-capacity free coolers to last for a minimum of 10 years.

Our European network of servicing partners and spare parts dealers are in place to provide ongoing support across the entire range, offering advice and assistance to help you get the most out of your unit for years to come.

What happens if ambient temperatures are warmer than inside my facilities?

If outside air is warmer than the conditions inside a telecom shelter, a hybrid solution is the recommended approach.

During the hours where ambient air is suitably cool, a hybrid setup utilises its free cooling system to keep electronics at the right temperature. Then, as it heats up outside, a backup air conditioner is switched on, operating only when needed.

This approach prioritises the integrity of infrastructure, and is an environmentally-friendly and cost-conscious way of regulating the technical shelters.

Can I buy your high-capacity free cooling units online?

For all of our high-capacity free cooling units, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting their enquiry and contact details.

However, you cannot carry out the entire purchasing process on our website.
