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
