SLOPE—The main supply and return lines to and from the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC must be sloped downward toward the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC at a rate of 1-2" per 20 feet (25.4-51mm per 6m) of pipe run. Horizontal connector lines should also be sloped downward from the cooling modules toward the main supply and return lines.

The assembly and connection means used for piping in the Liebert XD system are similar to that of conventional refrigeration systems. All piping should be installed with high temperature brazed joints. Soft solder is not recommended. The lines being brazed MUST be filled with flowing dry nitro- gen during brazing to prevent excessive oxidation and scale formation inside the piping.

Insulate all piping lines to prevent condensation in applications where the dew point approaches the R-134a refrigerant temperature.

Please see Table 5 below for recommended pipe sizes and Figure 24 for piping segment locations.

For additional information about piping connections, see the unit’s user manual: Liebert XDP, 16641; Liebert XDC, SL-16671; Liebert XDO, SL-16666; Liebert XDV, SL-16626; Liebert XDCF, SL-16678; and Liebert XDH20 and Liebert XDH32, SL-17210.

NOTE

To minimize the amount of refrigerant required, do NOT oversize the piping.
