Chapter 1 Preface

This chapter mainly introduces the special requirements on the equipment room environment and the features and
advantages of Liebert_DM series air conditioners (AC for short).

1.1 Special Requirements For The Equipment Room Environment

The precise environment control is very important for the operation of the computers , therefore, the computers have
strict requirements for the equipment room environment, which cannot be achieved by the commercial air conditioners
designed for comfort. The relevant requirements mainly include the following four aspects.
Temperature control: Huge amount of sensible heat is generated when computers and exchanges are operating in
the equipment room, whose density is 6 to 10 times of that of the general offices. To ensure that the computers and the
devices exert their optimal effect, the temperature of the equipment room is best controlled within 24°C±1°C; This
requires that the AC units have sufficient cooling capacity and timely response regulatory capacity to cope with drastic
changes in temperature, which cannot be implemented by the commercial air conditioners.
Humidity control: In computer room, ultra-high or ultra-low humidity will damage the computers. The ultra-high
humidity makes the air moisture condense to form condensation water in the computers, resulting in short-circuit or
damage of the host hardware. The ultra-low humidity will make the static electricity generate in the computer room,
making the computers unable to operate or even crash. The commercial air conditioners cannot control the humidity
within the required range.
Airflow / cleanliness control: Computers and exchanges will produce huge sensible heat during the operation. To
eliminate the heat rapidly, The ACs are required to have large enough large cooling cycle airflow and long blowing
distance. Besides, because of the strict requirement of air cleanliness, the AC should provide an airflow equivalent to
the ventilating rate of 30 times per hour, so as to filter the air. The commercial ACs cannot achieve these.
All-year-round running: The commercial ACs (cooling operation) are only used in summer and they only run for 8 ~
10 hours each day. In the equipment room, however, the ACs are required to work all year round even in winter when
the temperature reached -34°C outdoors.

1.2 Liebert_DM Series AC – Designed For Equipment Room

The Liebert_DM series AC includes units with a cooling capacity of 7.5kW and 12.5kW. You can configure them freely
to meet different requirements of large-, medium-, and small-sized equipment rooms and base stations. Besides, the
AC has precise temperature/ humidity control and reliability design, fully meeting the special use environment
requirement of the equipment rooms.
Special development: As a part of the integration solution to equipment room, the Liebert_DM series ACs are
specially designed for the electrical devices and provides a proper environment for the running of the precise devices,
such as sensitive devices, industry process devices, communication devices and computers.
Considerate design: Being concerned about inter-device practical applications, the Liebert_DM series ACs are
designed to keep the overall layout between devices and ensure onsite installation and maintenance.
2 2
Saving space: The Liebert_DM series AC occupies 0.3 m and a total of 1 m area is required plus the maintenance
space.
Precise control: The precise control system of the Liebert_DM series ACs implement precision control over indoor
environment, guaranteeing the safe working and stable running of devices to a maximum degree. For the indoor unit
control panel, see Figure 1-1.

Outstanding man-machine interface: The Liebert_DM series ACs provide a large Chinese/English LCD, a
user-friendly man-machine interface and an expert diagnosis system, as well as implement multi-level password
protection (avoid misoperation) and intelligent display of running states.
High reliability: Relying on the excellent quality and considerate services of Emerson, the Liebert_DM series ACs
ensure 24-hour reliable running all year round.
Strong adaptability to power grid: The Liebert_DM series ACs allow a wide range of voltage and provide the
following distinctive functions: unique phase loss protection, phase-sequence detection and protection, automatic
high-voltage & low-voltage detection and protection, self-recovery upon power failure.
All-weather operation: According to the distinct heating load feature of equipment rooms, the Liebert_DM series ACs
implement 24-hour running all year round in temperature ranging from -15°C to +45°C. If a Lee-Temp outdoor unit is
configured, the allowed running temperature ranges from -34°C to +45°C.
Strong network management: Being configured with a standard RS485 monitor interface, the Liebert_DM series
ACs implement flexible automatic switchover between active and standby devices, work shift, remote turn-off and
turn-on, remote alarm, and fault query and troubleshooting over standard telecommunication protocols.
Easy maintenance: The Liebert_DM series ACs provide a full front maintenance structure, facilitating maintenance.

exceeds the standard pipe length (see Table 4-1) and straight copper pipe is used, piping joints must be brazed.
2. Follow standard industry procedures in selection and placement of pipe, system evacuation and charging with
refrigerant (only when pipeline is too long). The standard refrigerant of the AC unit is R22.
3. Give considerations to pipeline pressure drop, oil return to the compressor, to avoid oil leakage and clogging in parts
of the system and minimize noise and vibration to the greatest extend.
4. Consult Emerson before installation on whether measures such as using extended piping kit are needed, if the
equivalent length exceeds 50m, or if the vertical distance between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit exceeds the
values in Table 4-2.

4.5 Cooling Circulation

As shown in Figure 4-4, the compressor (1) presses the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant into the air-cooled
condenser (2). The refrigerant is condensed as fluid in the condenser and sent to the evaporator (4) after being
throttled by the thermostatic expansion valve (3). In the evaporator (4), the refrigerant performs heat exchange with
the indoor air that is driven and circulated by the indoor fan (5) and then evaporates. The refrigerant is sent back to the
compressor (1) to start a new circulation. The system adjusts the rotation speed of the outdoor fan (6) to retain the
discharge pressure normal.
The compressor (1) is configured with a crankcase heating strip to prevent the refrigerant from flowing back from the
condenser in summer. This can protect the compressor from liquid strike during startup.

5.5 Control Logic

5.5.1 Cooling logic

When the actual temperature = set temperature + temperature precision value, the cooling requirement reaches
100%.
When the actual temperature = set temperature, the cooling requirement is 0%.
When the actual temperature rises to the degree corresponding to the 100% cooling requirement, cooling starts; when
the actual temperature drops to the degree corresponding to the 0% cooling requirement, cooling stops (the
compressor is turned off).
Figure 5-7 shows the cooling logic diagram.

5.5.5 Outdoor Fan Control

1. If the pressure sensor is faulty, the fan operates at full speed.
2. If frequency deviation happens, the fan stops operating.
3. If the compressor is supplied with power and the pressure in the condenser meets requirements for starting the fan,
the fan starts.
4. If the compressor is supplied with power and the pressure in the condenser meets requirements for stopping the fan,
the fan stops. Alternatively, if the compressor is stopped for more than one minute, the fan stops.
5. Figure 5-14 shows the voltage control curve during fan operating, which is on the basis of FSC1P control curve.

During fan startup, the voltage is obtained based on the pressure-voltage curve if the pressure is kept within the set
range and the voltage is the value of MaxV if the pressure exceeds the set range. During fan operating, the power
system stops supplying power to the fan if the condensation pressure is smaller than (Pset - 1), namely Poff. The
