INTRODUCTION
The Company
The Product
The G-Volution Series is the latest Precision Air Conditioning units from Citec
International that are engineered to run seamlessly in critical environments by
delivering constant, efficient and intelligent cooling circulation consistently and
reliably for 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The G-Volution Series is designed for areas with limited space as well as large data
centers. The units are designed with wide range of options to meet the requirement of
precision cooling needs in various applications and environment. Typical applications
include:
o Data Centers
o Computer Rooms
o Telecommunication Rooms
o Co-location Centers
o ISP
o Hospital Operating Rooms
o Laboratories
The G-Volution Chilled Water type Precision Air Conditioning units cover capacity
range from 25kW to 200kW, and distributed over 2 different model ranges, i.e. EC
and ECL. Each model range has its own unique features for different design
objectives and optimized for specific application.
The G-Volution EC Range units are available in both downflow and upflow
configuration while ECL range units are only available in downflow configuration.
The G-Volution CW units only require front service access, thus can be easily
installed side by side or tucked into a corner.

EC Range
ECL Range
The Citec ECL Range is design to further maximize the coil surface area by letting
the fan operated under the raise floor. The design allows the units to have largest coil
surface area possible and at the same time, optimizes the air flow and increase the fan
efficiency, thus achieving highest efficiency with minimum foot print. The ECL
Range is best suited for data centers with high raise floor.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The solid and rigid double skin insulated access panels on the G-Volution Series
ensure excellent sound isolation and greatly reduce the breakout noise of the unit. The
special FERMAPOR gasket on the door panels effectively eliminates air leakage from
the units. This gasket is applied to the door panels using a special machine to ensure
strong bonding between the gasket and the panels, thus increase the reliability of the
whole panel assembly.
Modulating ball valve with equal percentage characteristic is used to ensure excellent
control of water flow through the cooling coil. The flow characterised disc inside the
valve has greatly enhance the control stability especially under low load condition.
The standard valve is rated PN25 and has high closed-off pressure rating, therefore
suitable for wide range of operating condition.
The G-Volution Series offer 3 types of fan configuration. DIDW centrifugal fan
driven by AC motor is fitted as standard while high efficiency Electronically
Commutated (EC) Fan is offered as option. Apart from increasing the efficiency of
the units, EC Fan also enable various control strategies for data center cooling such as
underfloor pressure control and variable air flow control. For downflow system, if the
raise floor has sufficient height (>400mm), then the efficiency of the unit can be
further improved as much as 15% by locating the EC fan under the raise floor. For
Citec G-Volution Series Underfloor EC Fan option, the fans are located inside the unit
during transportation. After the unit is in position, the fans will be lowered down to
underfloor. This has greatly simplified the installation process and also future service
and maintenance.
Inlet water temperature and outlet water temperature can be fitted to the units to
monitor the supply and return water condition. The unit would provide early warning
if the incoming water is out of the desired operating condition, thus enable early
rectification actions and prevent potential downtime.
Cooling Coil
Hydrophilic fin provides additional protection to the coil and at the same time, ensure
fast removal of condensate on the coil. Thus, improves the heat transfer and
~3~
performance of the coil. Hydrophilic fin also reduce the air friction loss across the coil,
thus reduce the fan power requirement.
Heaters
Depends on models, single stage or multiple stages of PTC heating elements are
balanced over 3 phases and comes with safe dynamic self-regulating function. It
automatic controls the thermal power through air flow to eliminate the possibility of
overheating when air flow is low. It operates at a nearly constant temperature and fast
heat up promise an accurate control of temperature. Uniform heating without power
variation extend the life span of the elements. Proportional heating capacity is
available as an option via power regulators. All heaters are protected by thermal cut-
out switches. The heater may be interlocked with humidifier to reduce power
requirement when operating under power restricted area.
High and low voltage cables are segregated and each component is protected by
individual MCB. AC3 components such as fan motors are protected by manual motor
starters. All cabling are colour coded and numbered for easy reference.
Genius 5+ Controller
The latest Citec Genius 5+ ontroller provides intelligent and advance control for
precision cooling application. The G-Volution Series fitted with Genius 5+ controller,
offered highest flexibility and capability in mission critical cooling control, remote
monitoring and system integration. The Genius 5+ controller supports wide range of
cooling control strategies for mission critical facilities including auto-sequencing,
supply air control and containment system. Energy saving features such as EC fan
control and intelligent humidity control are built-in to the standard control program.
Optional touch screen display provides informative and user-friendly interface for
easy navigation. The display can show graphical information via animated icons and
also capable of plotting trend graphs for temperature and humidity. The display can
support multiple languages such as English, Malay, Chinese, Thai and Japanese.
Humidity Control
The G-Volution Series offered 2 humidity control mode, i.e. the conventional RH
Control Mode and the ASHRAE TC9.9 compliance Dew Point Control Mode.
~4~
RH Control Mode (Relative Humidity Control)
In RH Control Mode, room humidity is control in term of Relative Humidity (RH). As
RH is not directly reflexes the actual moisture content in the air, keeping constant RH
might involve adding and removing of moisture just because the change of
