  • Page 18: Piping Considerations

    Installation Piping Considerations The Liebert Mini-Mate2, Liebert DataMate and the 3-ton Liebert Challenger 3000 split system units are designed with quick-connect fittings and are factory-charged to proper refrigerant levels. This permits connecting units without brazing inside critical spaces. These split systems require two refrigerant lines—an insulated copper suction line and a copper liquid line—between the evaporator and condensing units.

    Installation 2.5.4 Installation of Piping to Units NOTE When using hard piping, complete all piping and evacuate the lines before connecting quick-connects. NOTE Liebert Challenger 5-ton evaporator includes a nitrogen holding charge only. This holding charge must be evacuated and unit placed in a 250 micron vacuum prior to connecting piping. See Table 12 for field charge required.
  • Page 23 1. Install a stub tube kit on the existing line set connecting to the new condensing unit. This kit is available from Emerson or your local Emerson representative. 2. Evacuate the evaporator-piping system twice to a minimum 250 microns, breaking the vacuum with dry nitrogen each time.
  • Page 24: General System Charge Requirements

    Installation 2.5.6 General System Charge Requirements Liebert split system units are designed with quick-connect fittings and are factory-charged to proper levels. Due to the wide range of operating ambients and sensitivity of the system components to charge level, the system charge must be maintained at recommended levels. If there is any doubt that the system has the correct refrigerant charge level, the correct procedure is to remove the entire system charge, evacuate the system and weigh in the recommended factory charge total for both units and any line sets or field piping.
  • Page 25: Electrical Connections

    Installation Electrical Connections Each unit is shipped from the factory with all internal wiring completed. All power, control wiring and ground connections must be made in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Refer to equipment nameplate regarding wire size and circuit protection requirements. Refer to Figures 5, 7 and 8 and electrical schematic (reference Figures 9 through 11) when making connec- tions.

    Operation PERATION Compressor The scroll compressor is equipped with a band type crankcase heater to resist liquid refrigerant migration into the compressor during the Off cycle. The three-phase scroll compressor requires proper phasing to ensure correct motor rotation. The component connections have been phase synchronized at the factory.
  • Page 30: Hot Gas Bypass

    Operation Hot Gas Bypass 3.4.1 Operation When applying hot gas bypass with split system condensing units, bypassing discharge gas to the compressor suction line offers more flexibility than conventional hot gas bypass to the evaporator unit. The hot gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping, bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils.

  • Page 32: Maintenance

    Maintenance AINTENANCE General Access the condensing unit by removing the unit housing panel. Clean the air cooled condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. This can be done with compressed air or with a commercial coil cleaner. Check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair as necessary. During winter, do not permit snow to accumulate on or around the condensing unit.

    Maintenance Field Charge Verification An integral sightglass is provided with the receiver to assist in field charge verification. During charge verification set the control temperature down to keep the system running. If the system is equipped with hot gas bypass, de-energize it by removing power from the hot gas solenoid valve coil. To remove power, disconnect the solenoid leads from the unit contactor in the electric box (refer to specific unit schematic;...
