- 1. AMAX ™ Cooling Solutions
- 2. The AMAX System AMAX uses multiple heat exchange stages to maximize the energy savings potential of evaporative cooling while maintaining comfort across a broad range of ambient conditions. AMAX offers Indirect Only Evaporative Cooling (IEC), Indirect/Direct (IDEC) and Hybrid DX configurations to meet all cooling requirements while saving up to 80% of the electric cost of comparable compressor based systems.
- 3. AMAX Applications • AMAX offers the greatest energy saving benefits in extreme climate conditions- the hotter the ambient conditions the better the performance compared to DX. • AMAX can provide 100% outdoor air and is ideal for casinos, hospitals, schools, restaurants or other installations that require large amounts of fresh conditioned air. • AMAX Return on Investment is greatest when large amount of process cooling are required for extended periods – for example, in data centers, manufacturing facilities etc. Outdoor air is not required for these applications.
- 4. AMAX Indirect/Direct Evaporative Coolers Commercial and Industrial Cooling Solutions • Custom Engineering Solutions with variable sizing and configuration to meet all requirements. • Powered Economizers and Powered Pre- Coolers sized for quick retrofit to existing RTUs • Integrated chilled or hot water coils for cost effective full HVAC solution.
- 5. AMAX Features and Benefits • Up to 125% adiabatic effectiveness • EER 40+ • Competitive pricing and low installed cost for quick payback • Rugged, proven and designed for harsh environmental conditions • Easy assembly and maintenance • Full engineering support
- 6. AMAX Retrofit Options • Powered Economizers™ in IDEC or Indirect Only configuration significantly reduce DX cooling hours while providing cold conditioned fresh air. • Powered Economizers can also be used to pre- cool condensing units for significant energy savings. • Adding low cost Powered Economizers to RTUs results in Energy Savings, Rebates and Extended Life of the RTU.

- 19. AMAX Indirect Only Data Center Units EasyStreet Sustainablility Data Sheet • “Energy-saving technologies such as Indirect Evaporative Cooling… reduce costs as well as carbon emissions while directing more power to customer cabinets.” • “With this state-of-the-art design we have achieved an estimated 1.3 PUE (Power Use Effectiveness) where a traditional data is typically above a 2.0.” • PUE is calculated by dividing total facility power consumption by server power use. • PUE with standard CRAC was estimated at 1.6. PUE with AMAX is estimated at 1.3. Total AMAX cooling power use is .07. • AMAX power consumption is estimated to cost $7,000 per month and save $30,000 per month compared with traditional CRAC units according to Rich Bader, President and CEO of EasyStreet.
