Emerson ITR Manuel D’Utilisation

The frame, 14 gauge, MIG welded tubular and formed steel, provides maximum support while 1" 

(25.4mm) deep steel panels with 1-1/2 lb. (.68 kg) insulation protect and quiet the system. The front 

door can be opened for service without shutting off the system. All components are accessible for ser-

vice/maintenance through the front and rear of the unit.
The Liebert Challenger ITR’s resistance to corrosion is enhanced by the black, powder-coat finish to 

all frame components. Exterior panels are similarly protected with durable powder-coating.

The high voltage compartment contains the contactors, transformers and overloads and all other 

high-voltage components.
Each high voltage component is protected by a separate overcurrent protective device. The entire high 

voltage panel is enclosed by a safety lock dead front panel. When the front door is opened by operating 

personnel, the high voltage components remain enclosed for operator safety.

The Liebert Challenger ITR features a quiet, low speed fan assembly with double inlet blower, life-

time lubrication and self-aligning ball bearings. The motor and variable pitch drive are mounted on 

an adjustable base. The entire blower/ motor assembly is mounted on vibration isolators for smoother 

operation.
The draw-through design of the fan section provides even air distribution across the coil, controlled 

air for bypass humidification, elimination of air bypass around the filters and low internal cabinet 

pressure drop.

High-intensity quartz lamps over the stainless steel humidifier pan permit clean, particle-free vapor 

to be added to the air within 5 to 6 seconds of the electronic call from the microprocessor control.
The quartz lamps provide radiant energy that evaporates water in a pure state, without solids.
The Infrared Humidifier is equipped with an automatic water supply system that significantly 

reduces cleaning maintenance. This system has an adjustable water over-feed to prevent mineral pre-

cipitation. A drain valve is provided to easily empty the humidifier pan prior to inspection or servic-

ing. A control valve regulates flow at water pressures between 5 and 150 psig (34.5 and 1034 kPa) and 

includes a Y-strainer.

The two-stage 304 stainless steel reheat elements are a rigid, fin-tubular design that have extended 

operation life. The reheat has ample capacity to maintain room dry-bulb conditions during a system 

call for dehumidification. The two stages give an accurate, controlled response to the requirements of 

the computer room. The low watt density, electrically enclosed elements are surrounded by the tube 

and fins, reducing sheath temperatures and eliminating ionization.

The standard pleated 2" (51mm) filter with an efficiency of 20% (based on ASHRAE 52.1) can be 

changed quickly and easily through the front of the unit.
