We’ve reworked the CyberAir Mini CW from manufacturer STULZ in our latest free Revit collection. Whether you're laying out a small server room, an edge facility or a telecoms closet, our newest STULZ Revit families are here to help with the layout and coordination of the HVAC systems. It’s compact footprint is perfect for those tight spaces.

What is a Precision Cooling Unit?

A precision cooling unit, sometimes called a CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) or close-control unit, is built to do one job extremely well: hold a server room or technical space at a tight temperature and humidity set point, 24/7. Unlike a comfort air conditioner that aims for a happy medium for people, a precision unit is engineered for the heat density and reliability needs of IT equipment.

STULZ

Specializing in precision air conditioning for data centers, server rooms and telecommunications facilities. Their CyberAir, CyberCool and CyberRow product families are among the most widely specified precision cooling lines in the industry, used in everything from hyperscale data centres to single-server edge sites like the CyberAir Mini CW in our collection.

Unfortunately, like so many manufacturers out there, STULZ have great products but bad BIM representation. Understandably manufacturers don’t understand what they’re buying into, what’s expected and what they’re actually delivering. The manufacturers BIM content for this particular model consists of two IFC files. One of them looks useless and the main model loads into Revit on its back. They range from 6-16 MB. It’s the path of least effort.

The Collection

Our reworked CyberAir Mini CW cooling unit comes in a downflow and upflow family. With four embedded types covering the standard cooling capacities from 8 to 35 kW. The upflow family features a plenum with various plenum orientation options to be used in projects where there is no raised floor. Both families weigh under 700 KB and that’s including 2D and 3D at different levels of detail (LOD), improving the performance of Revit models where this content is placed.

Makeup

All of the families featured in this collection have three levels of detail. This enables their use in all phases of the project, from early design through to construction documentation. Most importantly, they include correct pipe connectors for the chilled water flow and return, duct connectors for the supply and return air paths, and clearance zone options for service access.

These families are designed with efficiency and performance in mind, featuring 3D geometry for accurate 3D views and separate 2D detailing for precise plan and elevations. This setup ensures a smoother and faster workflow within your project and coordination you can rely on.

Manufacturers build great hardware. The Revit content that goes with it often isn't great. We're here to close the distance between the two, even when the manufacturer hasn't noticed the distance exists.
