Data storage is the lifeblood of any business today. Data storage and computing power is increasing at a staggering rate. Your phone and networking systems are often integral to your data and processing facility. Without access to your data & processing functions, even for a short time, business stops and any form of downtime or disruption is expensive.Inadequate environmental control within your server room increases the risk of failure. Servers can fail and have a shortened life if exposed to abnormal temperature & humidity fluctuations, high operating temperatures and dust & dirt. Comfort air conditioners and heat-pumps are not designed nor made to cope with the demands of a server/data storage room. The expensive consequence is total IT failure and high electricity costs, therefore it is vital you have the right cooling solution.

The EasiCool™ is a quiet, efficient, indoor process cooling unit that maintains a precisely controlled environment within the smallest possible footprint (the EasiCool™ typically offers up to 8% more cooling per kW/m² than our previous generation system).
An excellent value, modular package that is easy to install, the EasiCool™ is ideal for small computer rooms and other critical applications where performance and reliability are essential and space is at a premium. Providing exceptional configuration flexibility, the EasiCool™ enables you to tailor unit selection to your specific application.
An extensive range of 374 models offer a choice of:
• Upflow and Downflow configurations• 17 capacity steps• Three cooling types: Air cooled, water cooled or chilled water• Refrigerant R410A • Power supply 400V/50Hz • 6 case sizes• Full function (cooling, heating and dehumidification) or cooling only• Network and expanded control options available
Minimum space claimThe EasiCool™ typically offers up to 8% more cooling per kW/m2than our previous generation EasiCool™ systems.
Being a single circuit system, the need for multiple pipework connections is minimised reducing installation costs.The rigid aluminium exo-frame allows for full service from the front and full 360° unit service and maintenance access via detachable access panels.
Easy, versatileFuture-proof your application
Quality and Reliability
• Painted aluminium exo-frame that is extremely rigid• High efficiency G4 (EU4) rated, pleated disposable filters give superior
high performance with lower airside pressure drops• Cabinets are lined internally with fire resistant foam (UL94 V0) thermal
and acoustic insulation for quieter operation.

Features and Benefits
Server Room Cooling for Smaller Spaces
Comfort cooling systems lacks the precision and controls required for modern server room hardware. Yet, smaller server and computer rooms don’t always have the space to install large air conditioners. The Airedale EasiCool™ process cooler is the perfect system for smaller server/data room spaces.
Downflow/Upflow
Insert logo & details
• Comfort cooling and heat-pump systems are engineered for intermittent use for people and their surroundings.
• Comfort cooling units remove heat (sensible cooling) and humidity (latent cooling) with only 60 ~ 70% of their total cooling capacity being able to reduce the temperature and 30 ~ 40% is wasted drying the air out!
• Conversely process coolers use 95 ~ 100% of their total capacity reducing the temperature and are therefore more suited to the high heat loads produced by IT equipment without excessively drying the air (which can cause static electricity problems).
• This means process coolers are designed to regulate the temperature & humidity within precise margins more efficiently.
• Airflow through the server rack is crucial to ensure cooling without “hot spots” which can cause premature server failure. Process coolers have a more effective air flow pathway at double the air volume for getting the cold air to where it’s required.
• Comfort air conditioners have limited air flow pathways and lower air volumes to prevent drafts for people comfort. A major disadvantage in a server room cooling application.
• Process coolers also have high efficiency air filtration systems to capture fine particles of dust and dirt that have a detrimental effect on the life of IT equipment. Comfort air conditioners do not have the level of protection needed.
• Often comfort air conditioners cannot provide cooling within the server room when the ambient outdoor temperature temperatures are below 10degrees Celsius and are only designed to operate 8 hour days, 5 day weeks IE; < 2,000 hours per year.
• Process coolers are designed and manufactured to operate 24/7 for 365 days per year regardless of outside weather conditions IE; 8,760 hours per year.
• Often comfort air conditioner suppliers will not guarantee the unit performance in an IT cooling application, nor provide warranty against product failure.
• Conclusion: Business critical IT equipment have unique environmental requirements that necessitates designed and manufactured fit for purpose systems that can provide protection against premature and costly failures.
