Unit Overview

Types of Cooling
A precision air conditioner is designed to control environments for telecom rooms, Internet hubs, and data
processing centers. The Uniflair LE DX series is available in the following types of cooling configurations:

• Air-Cooled Direct Expansion—Air-cooled LE DX units extract heat from the room and transfer it to the
outside using air cooled refrigerant heat exchangers (condensers). The room unit and external
condenser form an autonomous sealed circuit once installed. Each refrigeration circuit must be
connected to its remote air-cooled condenser with copper pipe.
• Water-Cooled Direct Expansion—In water-cooled LE DX units, the heat extracted from the room is
transferred to water via a stainless steel brazed plate heat exchanger within the unit. The cooling water
may be supplied from the mains supply, a cooling tower or a well (open circuit), or recycled in a closed
loop cooled by external coolers. The water cooled units have refrigerant circuits that are charged and
sealed in the factory and do not require site-installed refrigerant piping.
• Energy Saving with Economizer Cooling and Water-Cooled Direct Expansion—Energy-Saving
units provide an energy-efficient solution in cool or temperate climates. They are designed to provide
significant reductions in operating costs and payback periods.The operating principle exploits the
free-cooling effect available when the outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature: the
lower the outside temperature, the greater the energy saving. The microprocessor controller manages
the operation of the unit automatically in three different situations:
– Typical operation—In summer, the unit operates as a typical closed circuit, water-cooled system.
– Partial Economization—As the external temperature decreases, the coolant can be used directly for
the free-cooling of the air. In this application, the coolant is circulated in the coil inside the unit, and
both the refrigerant circuit and the water-cooled circuit contribute to cooling, thus reducing the energy
used by the compressor.
– Total Economization—If the outside temperature decreases further to where the coolant can
dissipate the entire heat load from the room, then the refrigerant circuit is shut down completely, and
the unit functions as a traditional chilled water unit with a modulating valve.

Airflow Configurations
Upflow
Upflow units distribute air directly to the environment, into a drop ceiling or through an optional supply air
plenum. Return air can enter the unit via the front, rear, or bottom of the unit based on configuration. A
sub-base is required to allow access for power, water, and refrigerant connections on non-raised floor
installations.

Installation Types
Downflow units are designed for installation on raised access flooring using appropriate floor stands—or in
non-raised floor environments on a provided sub-base discharge plenum supplied by Schneider Electric.

NOTE: Upflow units with air intake through the rear or front can also be installed on floors that are not raised
(these systems require a sub-base or floor-stand).

Installation on non-raised flooring


Installation on non-raised flooring without using floorstands is only allowable on upflow models with rear or front
air return. For installations without raised floors, a sub-base is required for routing piping and electrical wiring to
the unit.

Uniflair LE Direct Expansion Installation Manual 37


Installation on raised access flooring
Installation on raised access flooring requires the support of a floor stand beneath the unit. The floor stand
allows installation of the unit before the raised floor is installed, increases absorption of noise and vibrations,
and facilitates connection of pipes and cables. Use a vibration pad under each leg to reduce vibration.

Floor stand installation


1. Using the floor stand, position the unit on the mounting frame and secure it using the M8 screw inserts
found on the base of the unit.

For details about floor stand installation, see Uniflair LE Accessories Manual.

NOTE: Install a flexible seal (field supplied) at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thick between the raised floor panels and the
mounting frame, which should also be isolated from the metallic floor structure.

NOTE: The minimum raised floor height is 305 mm (12 in.). For maximum efficiency, all airflow requirements
must be met regardless of the floor height. Any external obstructions to the return or supply will reduce airflow
and cooling efficiency.

Refrigerant Piping Connections
Air-cooled LE DX units must be connected to a remote outdoor condenser. Systems with remote outdoor
condensers must have discharge and liquid lines from the equipment to the condenser.

NOTE: Install all refrigerant lines in accordance with applicable industry guidelines as well as local and national
codes and regulations.

General guidelines
• All refrigerant piping is type L ACR hard drawn copper pipes (soft copper is unacceptable).
• All refrigerant lines/chilled water piping are free from debris.
• All refrigerant lines should be as short and direct as possible.
• All refrigerant piping joints must be made by brazing only; do not solder.
NOTE: The recommended brazing alloy is AWS A5.8 BCuP-5.
• All refrigerant pipes are installed with proper supports and approved refrigerant line clamps.

NOTICE
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

• The laying the lines and the refrigerant connections must be performed by a qualified
technician.

• All lines must be properly supported, insulated and isolated to avoid premature joint
failures due to system vibrations.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTE: Isolate piping from structural surfaces using proper refrigeration/AC vibration clamps.

NOTE: When brazing field-installed copper refrigeration lines, use a nitrogen purge to minimize contamination
of the refrigeration system during the brazing process.

Uniflair LE Direct Expansion Installation Manual 49


Discharge line sizing
WARNING
HIGH TEMPERATURE RISK

Discharge lines must be insulated where contact could be made to avoid a contact burn.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or


equipment damage.

Discharge lines must be sized such that refrigerant velocity in vertical lines is between 5 m/s (1000 ft/min) and
15 m/s (3000 ft/min). Refrigerant velocity in horizontal lines should be a minimum of 2.5 m/s (500 ft/min).
Refrigerant velocity must be high enough to keep oil entrained to ensure the proper flow of oil throughout the
system, in particular when operating at a partial load. If refrigerant velocity is too low, oil will not return to the
compressor. If the refrigerant velocity is too high, both the noise level and pressure drop will increase. The
acceptable pressure drops in discharge lines are up to 68.9 kPa (10 psi).

NOTE: Give consideration to the full and half load (or tandem) of the compressor to ensure that the operational
range stays within these limits.

Horizontal discharge lines must be pitched downward at a minimum of 25.4 mm per 3048 m (1 in. per 10 ft) to
ensure proper oil return.Trap the discharge line at the base of the vertical riser to prevent oil from returning back
to the compressor during shutdown periods.

NOTICE
MAXIMUM DISTANCE REQUIREMENT

• Total equivalent length should not exceed 40 m (130 ft).


• For line lengths greater than 40 m (130 ft), contact Schneider Electric.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Use the following guidelines to determine the diameter of pipe:

• Use this formula:


Total equivalent length = Vertical line length + Horizontal line length + Equivalent length of fittings
• For pipes running in a downward vertical direction, select pipe size from the
horizontal sizing table.

Refrigeration circuits
WARNING
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

Charging and maintaining the refrigeration circuit must only be performed by qualified
personnel.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or


equipment damage.

The refrigeration circuit from the factory is pre-charged with nitrogen. Prior to evacuation, a gross pressure test
should be performed to identify any leaks.

Gross pressure test


1. Open any shut-off valves present in the system to ensure that all of the components will be tested.
2. Pressurize the system to 17.2 bar (250 psi) with nitrogen.
3. Leave the system pressurized for 24 hours.
4. After 24 hours, verify that no drop in pressure has occurred.
5. After verifying the absence of leaks from the system, perform the system evacuation.
System evacuation
1. Open any shut-off valves present in the system to ensure that all of the components will be evacuated.
2. Connect a vacuum pump to the service ports on the system piping. Using a core removal tool may
reduce the time of the evacuation.
3. Pull the first vacuum down to 750 microns, then isolate the system from the vacuum pump.
4. Wait for an hour and check vacuum level. The vacuum should not rise above 1500 microns; if vacuum
level exceeds this level, check system for leaks.
5. Break the vacuum with nitrogen.
6. Pull a final vacuum to below 500 microns. With the system isolated from the vacuum pump the system
should not rise above 500 micron for a minimum of 2 hours.
NOTE: Install a ball valve before the micron gauge to prevent damage to the micron gauge during
charging.
7. After completing the vacuum seal, charge the system with refrigerant.

5. Start the compressor, and complete the charging process.
NOTE: Perform a slow charge to avoid compressor damage.

Water Piping Connections


For all water connections (except for the condensate drain):

1. Use shutoff valves (not supplied) to isolate the unit from the water circuit. If possible, use full-port ball
valves to minimize the pressure drop.
2. Check that the water pipe sizes and the circulating pump quality are adequate; insufficient water flow
affects unit performance.
3. Check that the water flow directions are verified and connected properly between the unit and building.
NOTE: Assure that all pipes are free of debris and assure all system strainers are in place and oriented
in the correct direction.
4. Insulate all water pipes with closed cell insulating material avoiding air gaps (for example: Armaflex™ or
equivalent) to avoid condensation. The insulation must allow accessibility to the valves and three-piece
joints.
5. Check that the water circuits are supplied with a maximum water pressure of 2068 kPa (300 psi). Install
a safety valve with a setpoint of no more than 2068 kPa (300 psi).
