Stabilization and Baying, Duct Installation

5.Stabilization and Baying

5.1Stabilization

For additional stability, the two shipping brackets and their associated hardware may be used to secure the unit to mounting points on the floor. Using a 13 mm open-end wrench, connect the brackets to the outer or inner bracket mounting points of the unit. Attach the brackets to mounting points on the floor using Tripp Lite’s SmartRack Bolt-Down Kit (model SRBOLTDOWN) or user-supplied hardware.

5.2 Baying

If your application requires the SRCOOL33K/SRXCOOL33K to be bayed in a row of rack enclosures:

•Locate the two baying brackets that correspond to baying connection points on the adjoining racks. If necessary, remove screws from the baying connection points of the adjoining racks.

•Loosen the screw in each baying bracket and turn each bracket 90 degrees, aligning each bracket with the corresponding baying connection point on the adjoining rack.

•Connect each bracket to the adjoining rack using the screws removed in Step 2, but do not fully tighten the screws. Adjust the position of the unit as required and tighten all screws.

6. Mechanical Connections

If the condenser airspace is a drop ceiling plenum and is connected to a building cooling system return, the unit should be installed using the flexible air ducts ducted through the ceiling tiles. This is the preferred method for managing condenser air. For proper operation, the plenum must provide adequate airflow volume within the allowable temperature range, and be capable of continuously treating heat rejected by the unit. This requires:

•At least 1720 m3/hr (1012 CFM) of airflow to and from the condenser of each installed unit

•Condenser inlet air temperatures between 0-40°C (32-104° F)

•Total heat rejected by condenser will be up to 16kW (55kBTU) per unit. The condenser air must be treated by the building cooling system or exchanged with outdoor air.

If the building cooling system has night and weekend setbacks, is shut down during the off-season, shut down for maintenance, or has limited excess capacity, an alternative to the standard installation may be required.

Caution: A very large plenum is not a substitute for proper ventilation and heat rejection. Heat rejected into the plenum must be able to exit the facility. Otherwise, heat buildup in the plenum will cause the unit to shut down.

6.1 Duct Installation

Install two supply flex duct tubes to the front and two exhaust flex duct tubes to the back of the unit. All four tubes must be ducted out of the conditioned room.

Take installation requirements into consideration when deciding where to run the flexible ducts. Ensure that the four duct tubes are similar in length, with no sharp bends.

To prevent hot air from bypassing the airflow between the exhaust and supply air duct, ensure that the two exhaust tubes (rear) protrude higher above the ceiling tile than the intake tubes by a minimum of 6 inches. In installations with ducts less than 24” high, the supply ducts should be turned 90° and pointed towards the supply of fresh air. The exhaust ducts should be turned 90° and face towards the building HVAC return.

Note: It may be necessary to secure the flex duct tubes above the ceiling.

Caution: Use only the provided ducts when making condenser ventilation connections. Any additional length of ducting may significantly degrade the performance of the unit.
