Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter introduces the classification and models, model description, main components
and technical parameters of the Liebert condenser (condenser for short).
1.1 Classification And Models
The condenser is classified into two types: single circuit and dual circuit. The single circuit has
a set of discharge/liquid pipe to match the single refrigeration system of indoor unit. The dual
circuit has two sets of discharge/liquid pipes to match the two separate refrigeration systems
of indoor unit.
The condenser is available in 17 models. The classification and models are listed in Table 1-1.

Chapter 2 Installation
This chapter introduces the moving, unpacking, inspection, installation notes, space
requirements and installation procedures.
2.1 Moving, Unpacking And Inspection
Moving
It is recommended to use the mechanical transport equipment such as a forklift or a crane
when unloading and transferring the condenser closest to the installation site.
When a forklift is used, insert the tines of the forklift shown in Figure 2-1 (taking the single fan
condenser for example).
Forklift
direction
Figure 2-1 Forklift direction
When a crane is used, refer to Figure 2-2 to lift the package (taking the double fans condenser
for example).
When lifting the package, fix the cable by leading it through the slots located at the
bottom of the pallet. Otherwise, the cable may slide during the lifting process, and
the package may fall to the ground, damaging the pipes inside and resulting in
system leakage.

Vertiv I Liebert Air Cooled Condenser I User Manual 8
Figure 2-2 Crane lifting
Unpacking
Remove the timber frame package and foam of the condenser but reserve the protection
cardboard of fins. The protection cardboard of fins and the cushion pad of U tube located at
the end of the condenser should be removed after the condenser is in its installation position.
1. If the condenser is to be placed horizontally, you should complete the installation
of legs while the condenser is located vertically.
2. When moving the condenser by hand, to avoid distortion and system leakage, do
not touch the copper pipes.
Inspection
After the product arrival, you should check the accessories against the packing list. If any parts
are found missing or damaged, please report to the carrier immediately. If any covert damage is
found, please report to the carrier and the distributor immediately.
2.2 Installation Notes
The installation notes of the condenser are as follows:
1. To ensure the heat dissipation capacity, install the condenser in the place with smooth
airflow. Do not install it where the coil of the condenser may be obstructed by dust or snow.
Ensure that there is no steam or waste heat around.
2. If possible, the horizontal installation is recommended to reduce the noise.
3. The condenser should be installed away from the residential areas (≥ 15m).

Vertiv I Liebert Air Cooled Condenser I User Manual 9
4. Be careful not to damage the waterproof layer and observe the local regulations when the
condenser is installed on the roof of the building.
5. Position the condenser higher than the indoor unit to ensure normal oil return.
6. Follow the installation arrows on the condenser for correct installation direction.
2.3 Space Requirements
1. A 4000mm clearance is required around the condenser air outlet.
2. 600mm service spaces are required on the four sides of the condenser.
The condenser needs sufficient installation and service space around the installation place.
The specific space requirements are shown in Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4.

2.4 Installation Procedures
Before commencing installation hot works, release all nitrogen holding charges
from the indoor and outdoor units.
Installing pipelines
1. Protect copper pipes from heat sources. Isolate copper pipes from structures or
other obstacles using rigid supports. Avoid dust, water vapor and irrelevant objects
from entering copper pipes.
2.Use a good quality, silver-based solder for all brazed connections. Use
refrigeration grade copper pipes and fittings throughout the installation. Purge all
pipes with nitrogen during brazing to prevent oxidation.
1. Identify the pipe sizes
Refer to Installing Unit Pipes in Liebert LSF Air Conditioner User Manual for pipe sizes.
2. Identify the condenser installation height
Refer to Installing Unit Pipes in Liebert LSF Air Conditioner User Manual for installation height.
3. Install the pipes
Install the pipes according to local and national codes and standards.
Connecting external power (external power supply of the condenser)
1. Identify the cable specifications
Select the power supply cables and start/stop signal cables of the condenser according to site
conditions, such as the distance between the indoor unit and the condenser.

1. It is recommended to use the 20AWG (0.52mm2) cable as the condenser
start/stop signal cable.
2. The (outdoor) air cooled condenser requires a three-phase, neutral and earth
power supply. The indoor unit is the recommended point of connection for this
electrical service and includes a three-pole circuit breaker rated at 16 amps.
3. The cables should not contact hot objects, such as the copper pipe and water
pipe without insulation, to avoid damaging the insulation layers.
4. The cables should be connected in accordance with the local regulations.
2. Connect the cables
Refer Figure 2-5, Figure 2-6 and Circuit Diagram for the connections of external power cables.
Figure 2-5 Connection figure of single fan external power cables (taking LDF42 for example)
Figure 2-6 Connection figure of double fans external power cables (taking LDF62 for example)
1. The external power cables enter the electrical control box through the
waterproof joint of external power cable whose inner diameter is Φ10mm.
2. The compressor signal cables enter the electrical control box through the
waterproof joint of external power cable whose inner diameter is Φ6mm.
3.After connecting the external power cables, apply waterproof sealant treatment
to ensure the good waterproof performance of electrical control box.

4. The phase sequence of three-phase AC input (L1, L2, L3) must be correct.
Otherwise, the fan speed controller will generate the phase loss alarm, and there
will be no AC output.
5. For dual circuit condenser (such as LDF42, LDF52, LDF62, LDF70, LDF76 and
LDF85), the four condenser start/stop signal cables should be paralleled at the
terminal block of indoor unit before connection; for single circuit condenser, the
two condenser start/stop signal cables can be connected directly.
Charging refrigerant and adding cooling oil
Refer to Installing Unit Pipes in Liebert LSF Air Conditioner User Manual for charging
refrigerant and adding cooling oil.
