All details about ShelterAir FC
Climate. Customized.
From standard units to fully customized solutions
The ability to offer such a wide range to customers is the embodiment of our philosophy, "Climate. Customized.". Size, design or control: ShelterAir FC is a model of adaptability and the shelter units can be precisely adapted to your individual requirements. In addition, a variety of options and equipment versions are available to achieve the optimum result.
Optimum operational reliability for your application
Connectivity for maximum availability
Monitoring and remote diagnosis are available for all units via a web interface. This enables rapid intervention and therefore immediate troubleshooting in all situations. What’s more, our units support numerous communication protocols for integration in building services management systems.
- Data recording
- Remote configuration
- Firmware updates
- Alarm relaying
Backup operation for maximum reliability
In telecommunications, in particular, high reliability is vital to prevent any loss of network availability. Thanks to the additional 48 V DC power source, backup operation with Free Cooling is available. If the main power supply fails, the Shelter Cooling units continue providing backup cooling to keep your system running reliably.
Free Cooling
Even today, comfort air conditioning units are still used for cooling in many base stations. This means that the possibilities of Free Cooling are not exploited, and unnecessarily large amounts of energy are used for air conditioning. To considerably cut the running costs of base stations, they can be retrofitted with the STULZ ShelterAir FC Free Cooling unit. Whenever the outside temperature allows, Free Cooling mode is activated and the comfort air conditioning units are switched off.
Savings with Direct Free Cooling
Efficient air conduction and intelligent control of operating modes enable savings of up to 96 % to be achieved.
Air conduction in Free Cooling mode FCL-IN
Air conduction in Free Cooling mode FCL
Flexible installation
The FCL-IN is installed indoors, for when maximum protection against vandalism and adverse weather conditions is your priority.
The FCL is installed outside the container, so that the entire interior space can be used for IT equipment. Full access from the outside for maintenance purposes.
Plug & Play
- All products in the Shelter Cooling series are factory tested, filled with refrigerant and ready for connection and operation right from the start
- Reduced installation time and costs
- Speedier start-up
Container cooling: Control and monitoring
The ShelterAir FC units are monitored and controlled by the C102 microprocessor. Comfort air conditioning units can be integrated in the existing air conditioning system and also actuated by the C102 controller.
- The integrated relays enable the C102 to control and monitor up to two connected comfort air conditioning units
- It directly measures the energy consumption of the ShelterAir FC units and records the operating hours of the comfort air conditioning units
- It provides backup ventilation upon failure of the main power supply or a fault in the comfort air conditioning units
- 48 V DC power supply enables it to be used for emergency backup ventilation
- Monitoring: ModBus onboard, further protocols via WIB 1000
WIB 1000
WIB 1000 is user-friendly and offers easy data exchange, monitoring and worldwide suitability.
- Ongoing retrieval of data from the controller
- Ethernet interface
- Easy connection to existing building management system
- Simultaneous HTTP and SNMP
- Easy, fast configuration from a laptop
- Compatible with all common BMS systems
- Communication via SNMP and HTTP IP protocols
