Abstract
A method for optimizing free cooling activation comprising the steps of operating an air conditioning unit in a chiller mode, determining a building load, determining a free cooler maximum available capacity (FreeCapM), and activating a free cooling mode of the air conditioning unit when the free cooler maximum available capacity is greater than or equal to the building load.
