 Cooling Continuity Energy Efficiency
Liebert® PDX guarantees enhanced availability and Liebert® PDX, thanks to variable speed drive
redundancy features; it can automatically manage compressors, increases full and part load efficiency,
power failures and restore quickly requested working reduces starting current and improves power factor;
conditions when power is back. Downtime is also as a result, power consumption and energy bills are
minimized through the prevention of alarms and considerably lowered. Liebert PDX cooling density
failures and real-time optimization and adaptation of has been maximized, allowing for reduced footprint
working parameters. and leaving more space for customers to install their
IT equipment.

Flexibility Smart Liebert® iCOMTM Control

Liebert® PDX remains the product with the widest Liebert® iCOM™ control is the heart of the direct expansion
range of air configurations available in the market cooling system, managing not only Liebert® PDX
and a full set of options and accessories to adapt units but also outdoor heat rejection components
to any type of data center design. (Liebert® MC or Liebert HCR condensers). Furthermore,
it features a new 7” touch screen display for quicker and
easier data readability.
Vertiv™ Liebert® PDX with Variable Speed Compressors

Energy Efficiency
y Variable speed scroll compressor technology is the best solution in terms of variable cooling capacity,
with a minimum compressor speed down to 25% of maximum value. It improves annual efficiency even
when requested cooling load is low, such as in the early stage of a data center life, or when the IT
equipment usage is subject to big fluctuations; this reduces the cooling equipment’s total cost of
ownership and payback time.
y New EC fan generation with extended speed modulation range (minimum speed down to 30% of
maximum value) in order to guarantee the requested supply air temperature at any moment.
y New generation of heat rejection condensers equipped with EC fans to reduce even further power
consumptions and reduce noise at the same time.
y Eurovent certified performance guarantees independent testing, thus delivering rating accuracy and
enhancing the unit’s reliability. The new IT Cooling program updates performance tolerance,
introducing stricter values than previous ones.*

Cooling Continuity
y Liebert® PDX can automatically manage a power failure for 60 seconds, keeping the Liebert iCOM™
control board and the BMS communication on and permitting system supervision during a power
outage event. When power is restored, the intelligent Liebert iCOM™ control adopts a fast restart,
recovering in less than 40 seconds at the requested operating condition.
y Electrically, units can be fed with two power sources combined with an ATS for full back-up or with
two separate lines, one for control and fans and the other for compressors and other equipments.
y The airflow continuity is guaranteed until the last unit fan is able to run, both in the indoor and
outdoor unit.
y In case of control sensor failure, the unit automatically adapts in order to grant the necessary cooling/
airflow continuity. A redundant sensor can be installed and activated only if the first one breaks or is
missing.

Flexibility
y Liebert® PDX is fit for extreme working conditions and environments; the extended working range
allows a maximum external temperature of 55°C and a minimum of -30°C, with an internal return air
temperature up to 40°C.
y Liebert® PDX extended compressor’s and evaporator fan’s speed modulation range improves system
scalability, particularly in case of variable data center load.
y Liebert® PDX units adapt perfectly to all kinds of installations; maximum equivalent piping length
between unit and condenser can reach 100 m. Two different coil treatments (epoxy coating and
electrofin) are available for the entire range of Liebert® condensers, making their installation possible
also in critical conditions.
y More than 4 airflow configurations allow the units to adapt to any data center layout and
configuration.

Smart Liebert® iCOM™ Control

y Ready for Teamwork of up to 32 units connected in a common network, with optimization based on
installation type; furthermore it allows for advanced control functionality (sharing sensor’s data, standby
rotation, lead-lag, cascade operation and rotating master function). A single display can be used as a ‘team
display’ to manage up to 32 units, optimizing and harmonizing the parameters of all systems through one
single display.
y The Liebert® iCOM™ software embeds a comprehensive algorithm library with more than 10 different
strategies to control temperature/humidity & airflow adapting perfectly to the different data center solutions.
y A virtual display can replicate, through a web browser, all the functionalities of the standard display, either
remotely or connecting a laptop on the ethernet port directly to the frontal door.
y The unit can communicate with the user’s BMS system with extended parameter availability, and it can also
be connected to Vertiv™ LIFE™ remote diagnostic and preventive monitoring Services. Extended parameter
availability to customer BMS through different protocols (Modbus IP, BACnet IP, SNMP and HTTP).
