Figure 23 Piping for Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC used with Liebert XD cooling units
The assembly and connection means used for piping in the Liebert XD system are similar to that of
conventional refrigeration systems. All piping should be installed with high temperature brazed
joints. Soft solder is not recommended. The lines being brazed MUST be filled with flowing dry nitro-
gen during brazing to prevent excessive oxidation and scale formation inside the piping.
Insulate all piping lines to prevent condensation in applications where the dew point approaches the
Insulate all piping lines to prevent condensation in applications where the dew point approaches the
R-134a refrigerant temperature.

NOTE
To minimize the amount of refrigerant required, do NOT oversize the piping.

SLOPE—The main supply and return lines to and from the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC
must be sloped downward toward the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC at a rate of 1-2" per
20 feet (25.4-51mm per 6m) of pipe run. Horizontal connector lines should also be
sloped downward from the cooling modules toward the main supply and return lines.
