3.16.2 Calculating Refrigerant Charge—Example
Using
Tables 7
,
8
,
9
and
10
, calculate the refrigerant charge of the individual sections of your Liebert
XD system. Add the calculated charge amounts to determine the amount of R-134a refrigerant
required for one system combining a Liebert XDP with Liebert XD cooling modules (Liebert XDCF,
Liebert XDH, Liebert XDO and Liebert XDV). The example below combines one Liebert XDP with 20
Liebert XDV8 cooling modules.
Verify that the refrigerant volume of the Liebert XD system with the longest piping length is within
the allowable limit. If the allowable limit is exceeded, the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC should be moved
closer to the cooling modules (refer to
3.12 - Liebert XD Refrigerant
for limits and related details).
Another way to shorten the total pipe length is to reroute the pipe runs.

CAUTION
Risk of improper lubrication. May cause equipment damage.
Liebert XDCs with refrigerant R-407c charges over 35 lb. (15.9kg) require additional oil. Refer
to the Liebert XDC user manual, SL-16671, available at Liebert’s Web site,
