SYCOOL ITC USES
THE WASTE HEAT
FROM THE DATA
CENTRE AND A
COMBINATION OF
GRAVITY AND A
SYPHON EFFECT
TO DRIVE A
REFRIGERATION
CYCLE CAPABLE
OF OPERATING
WITHOUT PUMPS
OR COMPRESSORS.
Designed specifically for data centres and
driven by industry demand, SyCool ITC
(patent pending) uses the waste heat from
the data centre and a combination of gravity
and a syphon effect, to drive a refrigeration
cycle capable of operating without pumps or
compressors, providing remarkable levels of
energy efficiency.
Initially launched as a packaged Air
Handling Unit (AHU) system, subsequent

versions of SyCool will include ‘Split
Systems’, such as above-aisle modules
and perimeter CRAH units, providing
scalable cooling for new build and retrofit
applications. SyCool ITC eliminates the
potential risk of contamination from air
pollutants, as there is no outside air gaining
access to the data hall.
The packaged AHU version of SyCool has
been designed such that the units may
be installed side-by-side with no space
between, with all service access from the
ends. Positioning an uninterrupted bank of
packaged SyCool units along the perimeter
of a data hall will provide class-leading
levels of cooling output per linear metre of
outside wall.
With a nominal capacity of 250kW, the P250
packaged system will be the first pump-free
system to market, offering a best-in-class
dry cooling solution and boasting features
such as HFO refrigerant-ready; oil-free,
low pressure thermosyphon circuits; no
moving parts; zero water consumption and
significant energy savings compared to the
most efficient pumped refrigerant systems
currently available on the market.
Available now, the P250 packaged unit offers
a range of flexible configurations, including
perimeter mounted and rooftop.
Features include:
• Dry cooling solution
• Best-in-class energy efficiency
• Extensive passive mode providing
•
•
•
•
compressor-free cooling across a wide
range of temperatures
No service access required to the sides of
packaged machines
Class-leading cooling performance per
linear metre footprint
Optimised for container shipment
Available worldwide from Munters’ global
manufacturing network
“Adding the SyCool ITC cooling solution to
Munters’ portfolio, enables us to offer the
industry a water-free indirect cooling system
that remains true to the Munters ethos of
sustainability. Having led a technology-shift
in the data centre market some years ago
with our launch of Oasis Indirect Evaporative
Cooling, we are proud to build on our
heritage as the industry innovators, with
the launch of yet another game-changing
cooling solution,” said Neil Yule, President
Business Area Data Centres.
Oasis Indirect Evaporative Cooling uses
the widest array of heat exchangers in the
market for indirect evaporative cooling. The
most innovative of these heat exchangers is
Munters patented Oasis Evaporative Polymer
Exchanger. This heat exchanger uses a
unique polymer tube that is suitable for use
in all types of water quality environments.
The Oasis Indirect Evaporative Cooling
product line can significantly reduce
refrigeration capacity in virtually all climates,
which is not true of conventional direct
air-side economisers or wet-bulb economiser
installations. These products are used to
maximise energy savings for customers. n
