Precision cooling at standby load
Data Rooms & Critical Facilities
Cooling causes 43% of unplanned outages, and your thermal buffer is minutes (Uptime Institute). APR‑E Valve, a variable capacity enhancement for standard DX systems or heat pumps, matches capacity to changing IT load on command from your BAS, from standby lull to full rack demand, without a compressor stop.

Why APR Control fits data rooms & critical facilities
When your BAS is asking for a straight line, your HVAC system should deliver one.
- Standby loads are where coils freeze and compressors wear out before the day they matter
- Holds discharge air steady from idle racks to peak demand
- Battery and UPS rooms stop drifting: cycling degrades battery service life
- 0–10VDC or 4–20mA control; every minute trendlogged for your ops review
- No impact on the unit's rated capacity during design day conditions

The Proof, with Qualifiers
- 77% fewer compressor starts in a 3-month independent field study
- ±0.88°F max discharge-air deviation, independently field-verified
- Retrofit on the DX equipment already on the roof, documented end to end in the BAS
