Chapter 2: Installation

3.Referring to Chapter 3, start the A/C system and use the system controller to lower the room temperature setpoint 3–5° F below actual room temperature to ensure that cooling remains on as the unit is charged.

When fine tuning the charge on cool days, it may be necessary to restrict the airflow across the condenser coil to raise the pres- sure. The fan closest to the header must be running. When fine tuning the charge, ensure the pressures are correct for the type of refrigerant used. Refer to the tables in Section 2.10.3 for the operating temperature and pressure ranges for R410A refrigerant.

4.Block off a portion of the intake air to the condenser until a constant discharge pressure can be obtained. This will lower the possibility of overcharging. Allow the discharge pressure to rise to 445–480 psig and hold it constant.

5.Slowly meter liquid refrigerant through the suction side while watching the pressure gauges and monitoring superheat and sub-cooling temperatures.

CAUTION

Add liquid refrigerant slowly to prevent the refrigerant oil from “washing out” of the compressor.

6.Take a superheat temperature reading near the feeler bulb from the auxiliary control module with the temperature measuring device well insulated. The ideal superheat temperature is 12–15° F. Maximum allowable superheat temperature is 20° F.

CAUTION

Do not exceed 20° F superheat. Exceeding this temperature may cause failure of the compressor.

7.While monitoring the pressure, take a sub-cooling temperature reading on the output side of the condenser. The sub-cooling temperature should be 10–20° F.

8.If necessary, (slowly) add liquid refrigerant to the suction side to achieve the correct sub-cooling temperature.

CAUTION

Remove the blockage from the air intake of the condenser.

9. Fill out the applicable sections of the Warranty Registration and Start-Up Checklist.

2.10.2.4 -30° F Ambient Applications

NOTE: For units designed for -30° F operation, a receiver is used to store the refrigerant during the time the condenser is not using the extra refrigerant charge.

1.Follow Steps 1–8 in Section 2.10.2.3. Once superheat and sub-cooling temperatures are stabilized, add more refrigerant to the receiver.

NOTE: Do not exceed 80% of the total condenser and receiver volume to allow room for expansion.

2.A refrigerant level sight glass is located on the side of the receiver to assist the service technician in charging the air-conditioning system. Determine the proper charge by viewing the level of refrigerant in the receiver while the unit is running at an elevated discharge pressure.

3.Keep the air intake to the condenser blocked and maintain the discharge pressure at 445 psig and hold it constant. The condenser fan nearest the condenser header should be operating continuously. All other fans, if additional fans exist, should be off during this time.

4.Add additional refrigerant charge to the receiver as needed until the refrigerant level rises to the center of the sight glass, indicating that the receiver is 80% filled.

When the refrigerant in the receiver reaches the sight glass, the unit is fully charged.

CAUTION

Remove the blockage to the air intake of the condenser.

5. Fill out the applicable sections of the Warranty Registration and Start-Up Checklist.

CRDX-W-FS-12KW, Black Box Cold Row DX, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-12KW specifications

The Black Box CRDX series consists of high-performance cooling solutions designed to maintain optimal temperature conditions in data centers and server rooms. Key models in this series include the CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-G-FS-12KW, and CRDX-A-FS-24KW. These units are engineered to provide efficient cooling while addressing the rising demands of modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the CRDX series is its cold row design. This configuration enables targeted cooling delivery directly to the equipment, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The airflow management in these models ensures that cooled air is directed where it is needed most, minimizing hotspots and maximizing cooling performance.

Both the CRDX-W-FS-12KW and CRDX-W-FS-24KW models utilize advanced refrigerant-based cooling technology. These units are equipped with electronically commutated (EC) fans, which are highly efficient and quieter than traditional fan technologies. This innovation not only lowers operational costs but also creates a more comfortable environment within the data center.

The CRDX-G-FS-12KW model stands out for its hybrid capabilities, offering both chilled water and direct expansion cooling options. This versatility allows facility managers to choose the best cooling approach based on their specific requirements and current infrastructure. The hybrid system can optimize energy consumption and enhance cooling efficiency, contributing to lower operating costs.

Another noteworthy feature across these models is their intelligent controls and monitoring capabilities. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and control systems, operators can gain real-time insights into temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, and unit performance. This data aids in proactive maintenance and ensures that cooling systems are operating at peak efficiency.

The CRDX-A-FS-24KW, on the other hand, is designed with a focus on adaptability and scalability. This model can be integrated easily into existing network setups, making it an excellent choice for facilities that anticipate future growth or need to adapt to changing cooling demands.

Overall, the Black Box CRDX series exemplifies the latest advancements in cooling technology, offering innovative features designed to support high-density computing environments. With their efficient cooling capabilities, intelligent controls, and flexible design options, these models provide reliable solutions for data centers looking to enhance their cooling systems while reducing operating costs.
