2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Product Description and Features
The Liebert Fin/Tube Condenser is a low-profile, direct-drive propeller fan-type, air-cooled unit suitable
for mounting outdoors. It provides for the heat rejection of either one or two separate refrigeration circuits,
matching heat rejection capacity varying with the outdoor ambient temperatures and with each
corresponding compressors heat rejection requirements. Constructed with an aluminum cabinet and a
copper-tube aluminum fin coil, the unit is quiet and corrosion resistant. The condenser is quickly and
easily installed, because all internal wiring is completed at the factory with only electrical connections to
be made at the job site. All electrical connections and controls are enclosed in an integral weatherproof
section of the condenser.
Figure 2.1 Liebert two-fan condenser
2.2 Agency Listed

Standard 60Hz units are CSA certified to the harmonized U.S. and Canadian
product safety standard, CSA C22.2 No 236/UL 1995 for “Heating and Cooling
Equipment” and are marked with the CSA c-us logo.

Figure 2.2 Product model nomenclature
2.3 Head Pressure Control Types
2.3.1 Fan Speed

Fan speed control utilizes a wave-chopper control to vary the air volume over the condenser coil, based on
refrigerant head pressure. The fan motor next to the electrical panel (two fans on 6-fan and 8-fan models)
is a single-phase, permanent split capacitor motor with motor speed adjusted in response to refrigerant
pressure. The balance of fans on multi-fan units cycle on ambient thermostats. The control system
provides refrigerant head pressure control for outdoor ambients as low as –20°F (–28.9 °C).
2.3.2 Variable Frequency Drive

VFD Condenser control system utilizes a variable frequency drive, inverter duty fan motor operating from
0% to 100% motor RPM based on head pressure, sensed by refrigerant pressure transducers. VFD,
ambient-temperature thermostat(s), motor overload protection and electrical control circuit are factory-
wired in the integral control panel. VFD controls the fan adjacent to the connection end of the condenser
and remains energized with active compressor operation. The balance of fans on multi-fan units cycle on
ambient thermostats. This system provides refrigerant head pressure control for outdoor ambients as low
as 0 F (–17.8 C) as standard and, with optional, low-ambient VFD heater kit, will start/operate as low as
-20°F (-28.9°C).

2.3.3 Liebert Lee-Temp™ Refrigerant Control
The Liebert Lee-Temp head pressure control system is designed to maintain proper operating head
pressures in outdoor temperatures down to -30°F (-34.4°C). The condensers utilize head pressure control
valves, extra refrigerant and insulated refrigerant receivers with heater pads. It works by flooding the
condenser coil with liquid refrigerant to a level that balances the system condensing requirements with
the condenser coil surface available to reject the system heat. During the summer, the system requires
the entire condenser coil surface for heat rejection and most of the refrigerant is stored in a receiver. In
the winter, the same amount of heat can be rejected by only a fraction of the coil surface. As head
pressure begins to fall, the control valve restricts the flow of liquid refrigerant exiting from the condenser.
This extra liquid refrigerant reduces the effective condenser surface area available for heat transfer. The
head pressure control valve also bypasses hot gas into the receiver to warm the liquid and maintain liquid
pressure for proper operation of the expansion valve. Condenser fan controls are either fan cycling on
ambient temperature or constant on. Liebert Lee-Temp control is required for Liebert Quiet-Line
Condensers.
2.4 Sound Level Options
2.4.1 Standard Condenser

All Fan Speed and VFD Condensers are standard condensers with moderate operating sound levels.
Liebert Lee-Temp condensers with standard-size coils matching Fan Speed and VFD coil sizes are
standard sound level condensers.
2.4.2 Liebert Quiet-Line Condenser

Liebert Quiet-Line Condensers can help your facility meet the strictest noise codes and do so at less cost
than traditional condensers with acoustical shielding. The Liebert Quiet-Line Condensers utilize the same
reliable construction features of the standard condensers and have oversized coils and slower speed fan
motors which yield the required heat rejection needed at significantly lower sound levels. Liebert Lee-
Temp control is required for Liebert Quiet-Line Condensers.


3 SITE PREPARATION
3.1 Site Considerations
The condensers should be installed in a location offering maximum security and access for maintenance.
Avoid ground-level sites with public access and areas that contribute to heavy snow or ice accumulations.
Utilize Piggyback condensers whenever interior building locations must be used. To ensure adequate air
supply, Vertiv recommends that condensers be installed in an area with clean air, away from loose dirt and
foreign matter that might clog the coil. In addition, condensers should not be located near steam, hot air
or fume exhausts. Also, the condensers should be located no closer than 3 feet (1m) from a wall,
obstruction or adjacent unit.
The condenser must not be installed in a pit.
The condenser must be installed on a level surface to ensure proper refrigerant flow. Condensers must be
installed in vertical airflow orientation to ensure NEMA 3R rating of electrical box. The electrical-control
enclosure is not designed for horizontal air-flow mounting and may allow water to enter the enclosure and
damage components and/or create hazardous-voltage electrical short circuits. For roof installation, mount
the condenser on suitable curbs or other supports in accordance with local codes. Use caution when
installing condensers below the indoor unit. Fan Speed and VFD condensers must not be installed more
than 15ft. (4.6m) below the indoor unit; Liebert Lee-Temp condensers should be installed above or at the
same level as the indoor unit. Contact the factory for assistance in specifying sub-cooling coils to each
circuit to extend these limits.

4.7 Mounting the Condenser

The condenser must be installed so that it is level within 1/2 in. (13 mm) to ensure proper refrigerant flow.
For roof installation, mount the condenser on suitable curbs or other supports. Follow all local and national
codes.
4.7.1 Standard Mounting Requirements

Secure the legs to the mounting surface using field-supplied 1/2-in.(13-mm) diameter Grade 5 bolts in
each of the two 9/16-in. (14-mm) holes in each leg. See Figure 3.1 on page 17 throughFigure 3.4 on
page 20 for anchor dimensions.


5 PIPING
CAUTION: Risk of explosive discharge of high-pressure gas. Can cause injury.
Relieve system pressure and verify that the indoor and outdoor units are Off before making
piping connections/disconnections.
Do not exceed the design pressure rating that is marked on the nameplate.
Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor and the field-installed pressure relief
valve.
WARNING! Risk of refrigerant system rupture or explosion from over-pressurization. Can

cause equipment damage, injury or death.
Local building and plumbing codes may require that a fusible plug or other type of pressure
relief device be installed in the system. Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor
and the field-installed relief device.
Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure
relief devices when isolation valves are field-installed as shown in Figure 5.4 on page 38. Do
not isolate any refrigerant circuits from over-pressurization protection.
NOTE: POE (polyol ester) oil, required with R407C/R410A and used with some R22 systems, is much
more hygroscopic than mineral oils. This means that POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate when
exposed to air than previously used mineral oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable refrigeration
system, extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or service. If water is
absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will not be removed through the normal
evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may require an oil change. POE oils also have a property that
makes them act as a solvent in a refrigeration system.
NOTICE
Risk of improper installation and system contamination. Can degrade system performance and
damage components.
Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important to properly complete installation and to

maintain system warranty. Failure to maintain system cleanliness during piping installation will
clog filter driers and adversely affect other system components such as compressors and
expansion valves. Refer to Piping Guidelines on the next page for details.

5.1 Piping Guidelines
Indoor units and condensers both ship with an inert-gas holding charge. Do not vent the condenser until
all refrigerant piping is in place, ready for connection to indoor unit and condenser.
• Use copper piping with a brazing alloy with a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C), such as
Sil-Fos. Avoid soft solders such as 50/50 or 95/5.
• Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper
oxide scale inside the piping. When copper is heated in the presence of air, copper oxide forms.
POE oil will dissolve these oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout
the system, clogging filter driers and affecting other system components.
• A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing is sufficient to
displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering device.
• Ensure that the tubing surfaces to be brazed are clean and that the ends of the tubes have
been carefully reamed to remove any burrs.
• Ensure that all loose material has been cleaned from inside the tubing before brazing.
• Protect all refrigerant line components within 18" (460mm) of the brazing site by wrapping
them with wet cloth or suitable heat sink compound.
• Isolate piping from building using vibration isolating supports.
• Refer to indoor unit user manual for appropriate piping sizes.
• Install traps on the hot gas (discharge) lines at the bottom of any rise over 5 feet high. If the rise
exceeds 25 feet (7.5m), then install a trap in 20 foot (6m) increments or evenly divided.
• Pitch horizontal hot gas piping at a minimum rate of 1/2” per 10 ft. (42mm per 10m) so that
gravity will aid in moving oil in the direction of refrigerant/oil flow.
• Consult factory if Liebert Lee-Temp condenser is below the evaporator or if Fan Speed/VFD
Control Condenser is more than 15 ft (4.6m) below the evaporator.
• Consult factory if piping run exceeds 150 feet (46m) equivalent length.
• Keep piping clean and dry, especially on units with POE oil (R407C, R410A or R22 refrigerant).
• Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas.
• Do not run piping directly in front of indoor unit discharge air stream
• Refrigerant oil – do not mix oil types or viscosities. Consult indoor unit for refrigerant type and
oil requirements.
• Do not hang or suspend piping from the condenser-tube sheets protruding below the finned
sections of the coil.

NOTE: Failure to use compressor oils recommended by compressor manufacturer will void compressor
warranty. Consult Vertiv or the compressor manufacturer for further recommendations or if you have
questions about compressor oils.
Refer to ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook for general good practices for refrigeration piping.
The Liebert indoor cooling unit has a factory-installed high-pressure safety switch in the high side
refrigerant circuit. A pressure relief valve is provided with Liebert Lee-Temp condensers. Consult local
building codes to determine if the Liebert Fan Speed Control (FSC) and VFD condensers will require
field provided pressure relief devices. A fusible plug kit for Liebert FSC and VFD condensers is available
for field installation.

See Table 5.1 on the previous page for maximum distances between, above, and below units.

Figure 5.3 Condenser positioning below indoor unit
See Table 5.1 on page 35 for maximum distances between, above, and below units.
5.3 Field Piping Requirements

One discharge line and one liquid line must be field-installed for each circuit of the indoor unit and the
outdoor condenser(s). Dual circuit condensers are available for most dual circuit indoor unit applications.
Refer to Figure 5.4 on the next page through Figure 5.10 on page 45 for additional field-installed piping
needed at the condenser. This piping is needed for proper system performance and for
installation/interconnecting receivers and head pressure control valves for Liebert Lee-Temp systems.
NOTE: Keep the evaporator unit and condenser closed with their factory charge of an inert gas while all
field piping is installed. Keep the field piping clean and dry during installation, and do not allow it to
stand open to the atmosphere.
When all the field interconnecting piping is in place, vent the condenser’s an inert gas charge and
connect to the field piping. Finally, vent the evaporator unit’s inert-gas charge and make its piping
connections last.
Follow all proper brazing practices, including a dry nitrogen purge to maintain system cleanliness. Refer
to Piping Guidelines on page 34.

The Liebert Lee-Temp receiver requires a separate power feed for heaters. The condenser is
not designed to supply power to the receiver.
6.1.1 Line Voltage Wiring
WARNING! Risk of improper wire sizing. Can cause short circuit, overheated wire, smoke, fire,
building and equipment damage, injury or death.
Select and install the electrical supply wire and overcurrent protection device(s) according to
the specifications on the unit nameplate(s), per the instructions in this manual and according
to the applicable national, state and local code requirements. Use copper conductors only.
Make sure all electrical connections are tight. Unit-specific wiring diagrams are provided on
each unit.

Condenser-rated voltage should be verified with available power supply before installation. Refer to the
unit’s electrical schematic and serial tag for specific electrical requirements.
Line voltage electrical service is required for all condensers at the location of the condenser. The power
supply does not necessarily have to be the same voltage supply as required by the indoor unit connected
to the condenser. See the unit’s serial tag for specific condenser electrical requirements. A unit
disconnect is standard on VFD and Liebert Quiet-Line Condensers and is optional on Fan Speed Control
and standard Liebert Lee-Temp condensers. However, a site disconnect may be required per local code
to isolate the unit for maintenance. Route the supply power to the site disconnect switch and then to the
unit. Route the conduit through the hole provided in the cabinet. Connect earth ground to lug provided
near terminal board.
NOTE: Lee-Temp and Liebert Quiet-Line Condensers require a separate line voltage electrical supply
for the heated receivers. See 6 on page 49 for power requirements.
Line Voltage —VFD-Control Condensers Only

The installer/startup technician must determine the type of 3-phase supply power being used for the
VFD Control Condenser: Wye-connected power or Delta- connected power.
Wye-connected power has two different voltages that can be measured: Phase-to-Phase voltage (this is
equal to the nominal input voltage) and Phase-to-Neutral voltage (typically used for small single phase
loads (120VAC or 277VAC). See Figure 6.1 on the facing page.
Delta-connected power only has one voltage level that can be measured: Phase-to-Phase.
See Figure 6.2 on the facing page
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
The optional, variable-frequency fan-speed control may contain a stored electrical charge. Open all local
and remote electric power disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wait 10
minutes before working within the optional, variable-frequency fan-speed control electrical enclosures.
Wye-Connected Power Supply
No control changes are required if the Liebert VFD Control Condenser will be operated with Wye-
connected power.

Figure 6.1 Wye-connected power diagram
Delta-Connected Power Supply
Figure 6.2 Delta-connected power diagram
Disconnect EMC Filter for Delta-Connected Power

Installer/startup technician needs to disconnect the EMC filter on the VFD to ensure proper operation if
the Liebert VFD Control Condenser will be operated with Delta-connected power.
1. Disconnect the power supply before working on the unit.

2. Open the electrical panel cover and locate the VFD (Refer to Figure 6.5 on page 60).
3. Using Figure 6.3 on the next page, remove the terminal cover from the VFD control:
• Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, turn the terminal-cover locking clip counterclockwise
approximately 30°
• Slide the terminal cover down and remove it.
• Remove the screw labeled EMC to disconnect the internal EMC filter.

Figure 6.3 Disconnecting EMC filter for operation with Delta-connected power
Surge Protection Device—VFD-control Condensers Only

A Surge Protective Device (SPD) panel is standard in the VFD Condenser models only. Surge protection is
necessary because the rooftop voltage supply often is not conditioned the same as the voltage supply
inside the data center. The SPD is designed to protect the VFD from high voltage transients, up to
25kVA/phase.
An illuminated green LED indicates power supply is On and panel status is OK. An illuminated red LED
indicates conditions require service and the SPD may require replacement to restore surge protection to
the condenser.
6.1.2 Low Voltage Control Wiring

NOTICE
Risk of control malfunction. Can cause improper unit operation. Make sure that all low voltage
electrical wiring has been performed per the schematic diagram provided and that all low
voltage wiring connections are tight.

A control interlock between the condenser and the indoor cooling units is required. Field-supplied copper
wire is required for connection between like-numbered terminals 70 & 71 on both units. Wiring must be
sized and selected for insulation case per NEC and other local codes. See Table 6.5 below andTable 6.6
below for recommended wire sizing for control wiring runs up to 150 ft (45.7m). Contact the factory for
assistance with longer wiring runs. See Figure 6.4 on page 59,Figure 6.5 on page 60 andFigure 6.6 on
page 61 and indoor unit manual for location of terminals on condensers and indoor units.

Low Voltage Monitoring Wiring—VFD Condensers Only
Condensers with monitoring terminals may be wired with Class 1 copper wire to the indoor cooling unit or
other monitoring panel. Wiring must be sized so that the voltage drop in the circuit does not exceed 1 volt.
Dry contacts close when a monitored event occurs. Consult condenser electrical schematic, supplied with
the unit, for details.
Contact closure on VFD Drive monitoring terminals indicates a healthy VFD drive. Contact open indicates
no power to condenser or a permanent VFD fault. A factory-programmed VFD must be used as the
replacement.
Contact closure on SPD monitoring terminals may indicate unit trouble ranging from electrical supply
issues to SPD replacement required. A properly trained and qualified electrician is required.

10 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
10.1 General Procedures
NOTE: When ordering replacement parts for equipment, it is necessary to specify unit model number,
serial number, and voltage. Please record those numbers in the spaces below.
Model Number _______________________________________________
Serial Number _______________________________________________
Voltage/Phase/Frequency _______________________________________
Periodic attention is necessary for continued satisfactory operation of your unit. Restricted air flow
through the condenser coil, reduced airflow from non-functioning fans and low refrigerant system charge
levels will reduce the operating efficiency of the unit and can result in high condensing temperatures and
loss of cooling. In winter, do not permit snow to accumulate around the sides or underneath the condenser
coil.
Monthly and semi-annual inspections and maintenance are recommended for proper system operation.
Use copies of Preventive Maintenance Checklist on page 71 for each of these inspections.
If performance or operation problems are detected at anytime, refer to Troubleshooting on page 67 for
required action.

10.2 Special Procedures
10.2.1 Condenser Cleaning

Keeping the outdoor condenser coils clean is an important factor in maintaining peak efficiency, reliability
and long life of the equipment. It is much easier to keep up on frequent cleanings rather than wait until
heavy build up has occurred which may create head pressure problems with the evaporator units.
When to Clean
Normal conditions typically dictate cleaning twice a year, spring and fall. On-site or area conditions such
as cottonwood trees, construction, etc., can increase cleaning frequency. On your standard monthly
preventive maintenance schedule, a visual inspection of the coil is recommended to monitor conditions.
What to Use
The best overall condenser coil cleaner to use is plain water. If the coil has been maintained and cleaned
at regular intervals, water is sufficient to remove dirt and debris from the fins. Heavy build up on the
exterior of the fins can be removed with a brush. Water pressure from a garden hose and sprayer usually
works well. If a pressure washer is used, make sure the equipment is set to a lower pressure setting and
that the nozzle is set to the fan spray, not stream. Otherwise, damage to the fins could result. If a cleaner is
required, we recommend a non-acidic type cleaner be used. Acid-type cleaners can be aggressive to the
coil fins as well as surrounding areas. Many sites do not allow the use of acidic cleaners for environmental
reasons.
How to Clean
The absolute best way to clean coils is from the inside out. This requires disconnecting the power supply
from the condenser before working on the unit. The fan guards and fan blades must be removed to gain
access to the coil surface. The sprayer can then be worked across the coil using the water/cleaning
solution, pushing the dirt and debris out the bottom of the coil. Although this does extend the time
involved, the results are well worth it. This method should be used at least once a year. Spraying the coil
from the outside repeatedly can push a majority of the dirt to the inner section of the fins and continue to
restrict air flow. Keep in mind you may not have the luxury of shutting the unit(s) down for an extended
time. A pre-scheduled shutdown with the operator may be in order. If you are using a cleaner along with
the spraying process, follow recommended manufacturer instructions and be sure to rinse the coil
thoroughly. Any residue left on the coil can act as a magnet to dirt.
Reinstall and secure the fan blades and fan guards after the cleaning is finished. Last, reconnect the
power supply to the condenser.
