Air-Cooled Models—Self-Contained Compressor
Liebert® Challenger 3000™32
3.5 Air-Cooled Condenser with Liebert Lee-Temp™ “Flooded Condenser” Head Pressure Control System
The Liebert Lee-Temp system consists of a modulating type head pressure control valve and insulated
receivers with heater pads to ensure operation at ambient temperatures as low as -30°F (-34.4°C).
The Liebert Lee-Temp system can be used with any compressor choice.

Liebert Lee-Temp Piping

A discharge line and a liquid line must be field-installed between the indoor unit and the outdoor
condenser. See Figures 17 and 18 for details.

Liebert Lee-Temp Leak Check and Evacuation Procedure

Proper leak check and evacuation can be accomplished only with all system solenoid valves open and
check valves accounted for.
1. If unit power is available, open the unit liquid line solenoid valves using the evacuation function
in the diagnostic section of the Liebert iCOM® control. If unit power is not available, a field-
supplied 24VAC / 75VA power source must be directly connected to each of the unit solenoid
valves.
2. Attach a jumper hose from the service valve fitting on the outlet of the receiver and the Schrader
fitting on the discharge header of the condenser. Front-seat the service valve approximately
two (2) turns.
3. For scroll and digital scroll compressors, connect refrigerant gauges to the suction rotalock valves
and discharge line Schrader valves (see Note above).
4. Open the service valves and place a 150 PSIG (1034 kPa) of dry nitrogen with a tracer of
refrigerant. Check system for leaks with a suitable leak detector.
5. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure (per local code) and pull an initial deep
vacuum on the system with a suitable pump.
NOTE
Liebert Lee-Temp heater pads require a separate, continuous electrical source. See nameplate
on unit for proper voltage.
NOTE
Systems with scroll or digital scroll compressors include a factory-installed check valve and an
additional downstream Schrader valve with core in the compressor discharge line. Proper
evacuation of the condenser side of the compressor can be accomplished only using the
downstream Schrader valve. See piping schematic (Figure 18).
