A cooling system is provided and includes pump, condenser fan, and control modules. The pump module controls a pump to pump a cooling fluid through a cooling circuit. The condenser fan module controls a condenser fan to transfer air across a condenser of the cooling circuit. The control module, while operating in a pumped refrigerant economizer mode or a mixed mode, determines a requested CFC percentage. The pump module activates the pump if the requested CFC percentage is greater than or equal to a predetermined CFC percentage. The condenser fan module: if the requested CFC percentage is greater than or equal to the predetermined CFC percentage, activates the condenser fan or operates the condenser fan at least at a minimum speed; and based on the requested CFC percentage, adjusts a speed of the condenser fan between the minimum speed and a maximum permitted speed to provide the requested CFC percentage.
