Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage. Liebert PDX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or service.

Optimizing Refrigerant Charge on Water/Glycol Units Liebert PDX/PCW water/glycol systems are factory-charged with R-410A refrigerant and will operate without refrigerant-charge adjustment at a wide range of return-air temperatures and water/glycol entering temperatures. Adjusting the factory refrigerant charge while operating the unit at full-load room conditions and at typical water/glycol temperatures can maximize the cooling capacity and unit efficiency.
The shut-off valves must be sized to close-off against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressure in case of a catastrophic fluid leak. Vertiv | Liebert® PDX™ and PCW™ Installer/User Guide |...
