NOTICE
Risk of improper power-supply connection. Can cause equipment damage and loss of warranty coverage.
Prior to connecting any equipment to a main or alternate power source (for example: back-up generator
systems) for start-up, commissioning, testing, or normal operation, ensure that these sources are correctly
adjusted to the nameplate voltage and frequency of all equipment to be connected. In general, power-source
voltages should be stabilized and regulated to within ±10% of the load nameplate nominal voltage. Also, ensure
that no three-phase sources are single-phased at any time.
Risk of piping-system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipment and expensive
building damage. Cooling coils and piping systems are at high risk of freezing and premature corrosion. Fluids
in these systems must contain an inhibitor to prevent premature corrosion.
The system coolant fluid must be analyzed by a competent fluid-treatment specialist before start up to
establish the inhibitor level and evaluated at regularly scheduled intervals throughout the life of the system to
determine the pattern of inhibitor depletion. The fluid complexity and variations of required treatment
programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and experienced fluid-treatment
specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant-fluid system-maintenance program.
Fluid chemistry varies greatly as do the required additives, called inhibitors, that reduce the corrosive effect of
the fluids on the piping systems and components.
The chemistry of the coolant fluid used must be considered, because some sources may contain corrosive
elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation. Sediment deposits prevent the formation of
a protective oxide layer on the inside of the coolant system components and piping. The coolant fluid must be
treated and circulating through the system continuously to prevent the buildup of deposits and/or growth of
bacteria. Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed to prevent corrosion of the system.
NOTICE
Consult fluid manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.
Commercial-grade coolant fluid is generally less corrosive to the common metals of construction than water
itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the coolant fluid from which it is prepared and may become
increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.
Vertiv recommends installing a monitored fluid-detection system that is wired to activate the automaticclosure of field-installed coolant-fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reduce the amount of coolant-fluid
leakage and consequential equipment and building damage. The shut-off valves must be sized to close-off
against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressure in case of a catastrophic fluid leak.
Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaks resulting in
equipment and building damage.
When the drycooler, the cooling unit or piping may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the system
with the proper percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature. Automotive
antifreeze is unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Use only HVAC glycol solution
that meets the requirements of recommended industry practices. Do not use galvanized pipe.

NOTICE
NOTICE
Risk of excessive coolant fluid pressure, improper piping material, and unsupported piping. Can cause piping
rupture, coolant fluid leaks and building and/or equipment damage.
To avoid the possibility of burst pipes, the system installer must supply and install a relief valve in the system.
Galvanized pipe must not be used in glycol systems. To help prevent piping failures, supply and return lines
must be supported such that their weight does not bear on the piping of the unit or pumps.
Risk of overheated pump seals. Can cause piping system damage, coolant fluid leaks, and substantial building
damage.
Do not run pumps without fluid in the system. Pump seals require fluid to keep them cool; running them without
fluid for any amount of time will damage the seals, which may cause a failure.
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to
fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
Risk of a catastrophic water circuit rupture. Can cause expensive building and equipment damage.
Install shutoff valves in the supply and return water lines that automatically close if water is detected by the
leak detection system. The shutoff valves should be spring return and must be rated for a close-off pressure
that is the same as or higher than the supply water pressure. A monitored leak detection system should be
installed in the base of the unit or under the unit to actuate the shutoff valves immediately on a leak detection
signal.
NOTICE
Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not leave the water/coolant fluid-supply circuit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the collection of
sediment that prevents the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of tubes. Keep unit switched On
and water/coolant fluid-supply circuit system operating continuously.

NOTICE
Risk of using the wrong type of glycol. Can cause piping damage, coolant fluid leaks, and catastrophic and
expensive building and equipment damage.
Do not use automotive antifreeze as it contains chemicals that can damage the piping system.
Typical inhibited formula ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are supplied with corrosion inhibitors and do
not contain a silicone anti-leak formula. Commercial ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, when pure, are
generally less corrosive to the common metals of construction than water itself. Aqueous solutions of these
glycols, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from which they are prepared and may become
increasingly corrosive with use when not properly inhibited.

2.2 Product Description and Features
The Liebert® Air-cooled, Direct-drive Drycooler is a low-profile, direct-drive propeller fan-type air-cooled unit. Constructed
with an aluminum cabinet and a copper-tube aluminum fin coil, the unit is quiet and corrosion resistant. All electrical
connections and controls are enclosed in an integral NEMA 3R rated electrical panel section of the drycooler.
Figure 2.1 Liebert® Three Fan Drycooler
2.2.1 Control Options
Fan Speed—DSF, DDF
Available only on single-fan standard drycoolers with integral pump controls. Fan speed control provides an infinite number
of speed variations on specially designed, single-phase, permanent split capacitor motor, by monitoring leaving fluid
temperature.
Fan speed control provides air delivery in direct proportion to heat rejection requirements of the system. The control is
adjustable to maintain the temperature of the fluid leaving the drycooler. Either of two temperature ranges can be fieldselected: 30 to 60°F (-1 to 16°C) for GLYCOOL™applications or 70 to 100°F (21 to 38°C) for glycol applications.
8
Vertiv | Liebert ® Drycooler Installer/U ser Guide
Fan Cycling Control—DDNT, DSO, DDO
Available on all sizes of standard sound and Quiet-Line drycoolers. A thermostatic control cycles the fan on a single-fan
drycooler in response to leaving fluid temperatures. Two or more thermostats are employed on drycoolers with two or more
fans to cycle fans or groups of fans in response to leaving fluid temperatures. The thermostat setpoints are listed on the
factory-supplied schematic. They typically range from 35 to 45°F (2 to 7°C) for GLYCOOL applications and 65 to 75°F (18 to
24°C) for glycol applications.
Main Fan Control—DDNL
Available on all sizes of standard-sound and Quiet-Line drycoolers without pump controls. All fans run when an external
contact closure completes internal 24VAC circuit.
No Controls - DDNC
Available on all sizes of standard-sound and Quiet-Line drycoolers without pump controls. All fans are activated at full
speed when power is applied to the drycooler.
Pump Controls
Available on all Fan Speed and Fan Cycling Control drycoolers. Controls for pump(s) up to 7.5hp are built into the same
integral electric panel as the drycooler fan controls. Pump fuses, overload heaters and flow switch (dual pump control
models) are included with the Liebert® pump packages or must be field-supplied for field-supplied pumps.
Dual pump option—Provides controls for primary and standby pump. The flow switch senses loss of flow and switches to the
standby pump for continuous system operation in the event of a pump failure. An internal switch allows manual selection of
the lead/lag pump.

•Install the drycooler in a location offering maximum security and access for maintenance.
•Avoid ground-level sites with public access and areas prone to heavy snow or ice accumulations.
•Whenever interior building locations must be used, utilize a Piggyback drycooler. Contact your Vertiv sales
representative for more information.
•To ensure adequate air supply, we recommend that drycoolers be installed in an area with clean air, away from
loose dirt and foreign matter that might clog the coil, and away from steam, hot-air, or fume exhaust.
•Drycoolers must not be installed in a pit because discharge air is likely to be recirculated through the unit.
•Drycoolers should be located no closer than 3 ft (1m) from a wall, obstruction, or adjacent unit and avoid
locations where objects restrict the air-inlet free area.
•For roof installation, mount the drycooler on suitable curbs or other supports in accordance with local codes.
•The drycooler must be installed on a level surface to ensure proper glycol flow, venting and drainage.
•Allow adequate space for pump packages, expansion/compression tanks, piping and additional field-supplied
devices.
•When mounting pump packages, mount on level surface or suitable curbs that will allow cooling ventilation air
to enter from underneath the pump package frame and exit through the louvers.
•The drycooler must be installed in a vertical air-flow orientation to maintain NEMA 3R rating of electrical box.
The unit is CSA c-us Certified for vertical air flow only and has not been tested for any other orientation.
