All details about Air Handling Units for indoor installation
Design concept
Modularity
- Systems can be adapted to the project-specific room size and different site conditions
- Modular design enables efficient utilization of space and increases operational reliability through redundancy
- Higher cooling capacity per wall length: thanks to the design concept, units can be positioned directly next to each other
Energy efficiency
- Low pPUE values achievable
- AHU designed for high supply and return air temperatures within the range recommended by the ASHRAE-TC-9.9 guidelines
- Exceptionally low AER (Airflow Efficiency Ratio) values and therefore maximum efficiency in terms of air conduction
- Maximized heat exchanger surfaces for high chilled water temperatures and minimal pressure drops
- Hot aisle containment for physically separating the hot and cold air, to completely prevent the airflows from mixing
- EC fan technology for maximum efficiency
- Lowest total cost of ownership (TCO)
Perfect hydraulic coordination of liquid cooling systems thanks to pressure independent control (PIC) valve
- Automatic hydraulic compensation
- Precise, stable operation whatever the heat load
- Reduced energy consumption of pumps in the chilled water system
Maximum added value with our self-developed control system
We strive to bring you added value. Perfect coordination of the controller, software and air conditioning units brings you additional reliability and efficiency. We therefore develop our own hardware and software in a holistic and integrated overall process – to exploit the maximum possible benefits for you.
- Built-in added value: Our controllers are designed for controlling and monitoring air conditioning systems and for the parallel operation of several machines.
- Intelligent control system: Optional sequencing with standby functions enables individual air conditioning modules of a group to be used to a greater or lesser extent with the utmost flexibility.
- Reliable documentation: Monitoring and reporting in addition to recording the indoor climate
- Maximum flexibility: Compatible with all common BMS protocols
- Maximum performance: The controllers enable the centralized control of up to 20 air conditioning modules per group.

Intelligent positioning of components ensures a flow-optimized design
Thanks to their flow-optimized design, our CyberWall units have the lowest pressure drops and therefore achieve the greatest possible energy savings, which are immediately noticeable. The components are arranged to ensure maximum utilization of the heat exchangers and uniform air distribution along the entire length of the aisle.
CFD analysis for optimizing operation
In order to avoid pressure losses and to ensure an even temperature distribution, a comprehensive CFD analysis was made during the development of the CyberWall. The results enabled us to test and optimize the flow in all areas of the CyberWall. The outcome is a perfectly uniform flow through the heat exchanger, which maximizes cooling capacity while simultaneously minimizing fan power input.
