3 Device description Device description General functional description The Liquid Cooling Package DX (DX = Direct Expansion) is essentially a split air conditioning unit used to dissipate high heat losses from server enclosures or for the effec- tive cooling of devices built into a server enclosure. The air routing in the LCP DX supports the "front to back"...
3 Device description In order to ensure targeted air routing in the system, the server enclosure should be divided vertically into warm air and cold air sections. The division is accomplished in the front section of the server assembly to the left and right of the 482.6 mm (19") level using foam strips or air baffle plates which, depending on the enclosure width and the number of server enclosures to be cooled, can...
3 Device description Equipment assembly Note: However, the system does not need to be 3.3.1 Unit components completely airtight, thanks to the high, co- ordinated air throughputs of the server and LCP fans. 3.2.3 LCP Inline DX Targeted air routing by hot air extraction from the hot aisle and cold air blown into the cold aisle has a funda- mental effect on the amount of heat to be dissipated.
3 Device description – Electronic expansion valve: The expansion valve sup- plies the evaporator coil with the required volume of coolant to provide the corresponding cooling output in the current ambient conditions. – External condenser: The condenser is sited outdoors from the room where the LCP DX is situated.
3 Device description 3.3.4 Fan module Proper and improper usage The LCP DX is used to dissipate high heat losses and ef- fectively cool devices built into a server enclosure. The unit is designed solely for static use in sealed rooms. The unit is state of the art and built according to recog- nised safety regulations.
4 Transportation and handling Transportation and handling Unpacking Remove the unit's packaging materials. Transportation Note: The LCP DX is delivered shrink-wrapped on a pallet. After unpacking, the packaging materials must be disposed of in an environmentally Caution! friendly way.

Note: If the LCP DX is to be bayed between two server enclosures, both doors of the LCP DX must be dismantled before the baying con- nectors are installed, so that the attachment points for the baying connectors are accessi-...
5 Assembly and siting 5.2.6 Mounting the side panel If the LCP DX is not bayed between two server enclo- sures, close it off with a side panel. Caution! Risk of injury! The side panel holders have sharp- edged teeth, to enable earthing of the side panel through the LCP DX.

5 Assembly and siting The condenser may be installed either horizontally or vertically using the supports included with the supply of the device. Fig. 19: Horizontal or vertical mounting In the case of vertical mounting (with a horizontal air- flow), the hot gas line must be laid above the liquid line. Fig.
6 Installation Installation vice is positioned on a raised floor or on a pedestal, from below into the LCP DX. Caution! Risk of malfunction or damage! Prior to delivery, the LCP DX is filled with 1.5 bar nitro- gen. It is therefore crucial that the following steps are al- Installation, and in particular the coolant ways carried out in the order shown.

6 Installation Caution! Work on electrical systems or equip- ment may only be carried out by an elec- trician or by trained personnel under the guidance and supervision of an electri- cian. All work must be carried out in ac- cordance with electrical engineering regulations.
6 Installation 6.4.2 Connecting the LCP DX Power is supplied to the LCP DX via a 5-wire connection cable (380…415 V, 3~, N, PE). The cable may either be inserted into the device from above via a brush strip, or alternatively, if the device is operated in a room with a raised floor, from below.
6 Installation The installer must document the fact that the system was installed in accordance with the construction re- quirements and state the safety and control device set- tings, if adjustable, following commissioning. This docu- mentation must be kept by the installer and presented upon request.
