Chapter 2 Mechanical Installation

This chapter introduces the moving, unpacking, inspection, installation notes, space requirements and installation
procedures.

2.1 Moving, Unpacking And Inspection

Moving
It is recommended to use mechanical transport equipment such as forklift or crane when unloading and transferring
the condenser closest to the installation site.
When a forklift is used, insert the tines of the forklift as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Forklift direction

Unpacking
Remove the paper package and foam of the condenser but reserve the protection cardboard of fins. The protection
cardboard of fins should be removed after the condenser is in its installation position.
 Note
When moving the condenser by hand, to avoid distortion and system leakage, do not touch the copper pipes.

Inspection
After receiving the product, you should check the accessories against the packing list. If any parts are found missing or
damaged, please report to the carrier immediately. If any covert damage is found, please report to the carrier and the
local office of the product supplier.

2.2 Installation Notes

1. The outdoor unit should be installed in the place that is convenient for maintenance. Do not install the outdoor unit at
the bottom layer of the public place and the unit should be installed far away from the residential area.
2. Do not directly install the outdoor unit in the environment with high requirements for noise.
3. To ensure the heat dissipation capacity, install the condenser in a clean place that is far away from dusts and alien
objects to avoid obstruct the heat exchanger.
4. Do not place the unit close to vapors, hot gases and waste gases.
5 Keep at least 450mm clearance between the outdoor unit and the wall, barrier or neighboring equipment.
6. Do not place the unit at the air inlet side and air discharge side where snow may be accumulated.

7. Prepare a base that can withstand the weight of the outdoor unit (see table 1-1 for the specific weight). The height of
the base should be at least 50mm above the ground and should be higher than the base of outdoor unit by 50mm, as
shown in Figure 2-2.
8. When multiple outdoor units need to be placed in overlap mode, install according to the mode as shown in Figure
2-2.

2.3 Space Requirements

 Note
1. A 4000mm clearance is required around the condenser air outlet.

The condenser needs sufficient installation and service space around the installation place.

2.4 Installation Procedures

 Note
To ensure the safety, before welding the pipeline and patching welding, all nitrogen of air condition system must be discharged to
release the system pressure.

Installing pipelines

 Note
1. The copper pipes should be heat preserved. When the copper pipes pass through the wall or other obstacles, take isolation
measure such as using the shock pad to avoid direct contact with the wall. Prevent the dust, water vapor and solid particles from
entering the copper pipes.
2. To ensure the quality of welding, the silver-based solder with good quality is required to weld the elbow- pipe. The nitrogen
protection should be done while welding.

1. Identifying the pipe sizes

Refer to Installing Unit Pipes in Liebert CRV+ Series Air Conditioner User Manual for pipe sizes.
2. Identifying the condenser installation height
Refer to Installing Unit Pipes in Liebert CRV+ Series Air Conditioner User Manual for the installation height.
3. Installing pipes
Install the pipes according to the factual conditions and industry standard.

Connecting cables

 Note
1. The protected tube or shielded line is required for the outdoor part of the connection cable between the indoor unit and the
condenser. The ground cable should be connected to the ground nearby, and the length cannot exceed 3m.
2. The cables cannot contact with hot objects, such as the copper tube and water pipe without insulation, to avoid damaging the
insulation layers.
3. The cables should be connected in accordance with the local regulations.
4. The power supply of the equipment should be installed by professional personnel on site. If the power supply soft cables are
damaged, to avoid risk, they must be replaced by the professional personnel from the manufacturer, maintenance department or
similar department of the manufacturer.

The specifications of the power supply cables of the outdoor unit is (L+N+PE), the recommended cable diameter is no
2
less than 18AWG(0.75mm ). Connect one end of the power supply cables from the accessories to the power output
terminals of the indoor unit as shown in Figure 2-3, and connect the other end to the power terminals of the condenser
as shown in Figure 2-4.

Chapter 3 Maintenance And Troubleshooting

This chapter introduces the maintenance and troubleshooting of the condenser. Users should check the condenser
regularly and solve the problems in time.

 Note
1. The maintenance of the condenser must be done by technicians.
2. Except for the commissioning items that must be carried out with power on, during maintenance, the power of the indoor unit
must be cut off.

3.1 Maintenance
Refrigeration system
1. Check that the refrigeration pipes are firmly fixed. The refrigeration pipes shall not shake with the vibration of wall,
earth or equipment frame. Otherwise reinforce the refrigeration pipes with fastening objects.
2. Check that there is no oil on the accessories of all refrigeration pipes, and make sure that the pipes do not leak.
Heat exchanger
1. Clean the fin of heat exchanger regularly.
2. Clean the fin of heat exchanger with compressed air or fin detergent (weakly alkaline) if the condenser air flow is
blocked. The direction of inverse air flow is good when the compressed air is used.
3. Check for damaged or reversed fins and maintain them in time.
4. Avoid snow accumulation around the condenser in winter.
Fan
Check that the fan runs normally and check it for problems such as abnormal noise, vibration and bearing failure.

3.2 Troubleshooting
Perform troubleshooting according to Table 3-1.
