1.1.1 Product/System Description
The Liebert XDC
™
(X-treme Density Chiller) is self-contained refrigeration distribution unit designed
to cool rooms with high heat producing equipment. There are two distinct circuits, each utilizing dif-
ferent refrigerants and mechanical parts. The R-134a circuit is the “pumped” circuit containing
redundant circulating pumps, a brazed plate heat exchanger along with valves and piping. The
R-407C circuit is the dual direct expansion circuit containing scroll compressors, expansion valves,
brazed plate heat exchanger, and piping. Heat removal is accomplished by using condensers con-
nected to the dual direct expansion circuit. Heat rejection is available in two options: an outdoor air-
cooled condenser and a water/glycol condenser. See Figure 1 below.
The Liebert XDC monitors room conditions and prevents coil condensation by maintaining the refrig-
erant being pumped to the cooling modules at a temperature above the room dew point. All functions,
such as temperature control, switching pumps (if necessary), etc., are automatic.
The Liebert XDC’s minimum recommended operating load is 40% of system nominal capacity. For
example, a Liebert XDC160 60Hz system’s minimum load would be 64kW. Loading below this value
can unfavorably affect system operation. Consult factory for any loading below this recommendation.
See Table 26 for the Liebert XDC160 rated cooling capacity.
