Quality, Rugged Construction
The durable design of the Liebert DS provides a stable,
virtually vibrationless platform for compressor and fan
operation:

Autophoretic® frame coating—protects frame against

corrosion for years of reliable service.

Welded frame—14 gauge steel provides rugged

construction, proven to withstand shipping and
handling through ISTA (International Safe Transit
Association) certified ship testing.

Durable powder coated exterior panels—look good

and stay that way.

Slot and tab sheet metal—for consistent, quality

construction.

Optional double-skin panels—eliminate insulation in

the air stream. This allows for easy panel cleaning.

Optional floorstands—Adjustable standard and

seismic-rated floorstands allow for installation and
connection of the system prior to the installation of
the raised floor. Available in heights from 6” to 36”, a
field installed turning vane may be specified.

Front Access And Serviceability Save
Valuable Floor Space
Total front access provides space and
serviceability benefits not found on
previous models or competitive units.

The Liebert DS can be placed adjacent

to or in back of other equipment or
against a wall or partition.

All key components are visible and

accessible—from the front of the unit
for easy maintenance and removal.

Compressors are removable from

front—isolated from air stream for
easier maintenance.

Modular Frame Construction

The unit’s modular frame
construction allows even more
flexibility in meeting specific needs
for installation, energy efficiency and
other special requirements.

The frame can be field-separated into

three sections—enabling the unit to
fit into small elevators or through
other tight spaces.

Flexible Cooling Configurations

The Liebert DS provides a complete environmental

control package, including both precision air
conditioning as well as humidity control. Both
upflow and downflow configurations are available
to cover raised floor and non-raised applications.

The Liebert DS product line has been designed

to cover the widest possible range of application
requirements. These include choice of airflow
configuration, cooling method options and many
other selections that will create the most effective
and efficient system for your facility.

Liebert DS Units Can Be Configured For

Optimum Cooling Of Any Type Of Space
Downflow configurations are designed for
use in raised floor applications such as data Liebert DS Downflow
centers and other facilities housing sensitive
electronic equipment. The Liebert DS downflow
configuration combines top air return with bottom
air supply to circulate air underneath the floor.

Upflow units can be specified in situations where

the floors are not raised, such as communications
facilities, industrial control rooms and laboratories.
These units can supply air directly into the room or
be connected to distribution ductwork.

Compressorized Systems Offer Flexibility,

Efficiency, Reliability
Long recognized as the standard in environmental
control systems for data center operations,
Liebert DS compressorized systems are built to
the highest specifications in the industry with
proven components and design. They feature
direct expansion operation in four types of cooling
configurations: air cooled, water cooled, glycol
cooled and our exclusive GLYCOOL free-cooling Liebert DS Upflow
option.

A key to the ability of a quality

its high “sensible heat ratio.”

Unlike people, computers generate dry or

a large percentage of their total capacity
devoted to the removal of moisture,
comfort systems can lower room
humidity far below acceptable standards
for electronic equipment— and they have

Humidity Control
Maintaining the correct humidity level in the room is just as important as
maintaining proper temperature. Inadequate humidity control can cause
static electricity if it’s too dry—or condensation that can corrode circuitry
if the air is too moist. The Liebert DS utilizes an integrated humidification
system to provide the necessary level of moisture control.

compressor operation and avoiding over dehumidification that causes the
humidifier to come on when not needed.

With Longer Service Life

Liebert DS offers the new Paradenser™ condenser for

use in water/glycol systems. This patented component
utilizes a counter-flow design and features a shell and
tube type construction.

Fully cleanable—eliminates costly condenser failures

due to plugging and providing a longer service life. This
reduces fouling and scaling which can degrade heat
rejection performance and result in cooling system
shutdown.
Large water passages prevent plugging and allow for
conventional tube cleaning methods.
Sturdy, corrosion-resistant materials—Steel shell, copper
tubes, and nickel-plated plug are durable,
non-corrosive and easy to clean.
Shell side of the condenser acts as a receiver—holds

Stand-Alone Monitoring And Leak Detection Solutions

Autonomous microprocessor controlled modules are

available to provide supervision, control and remote Liqui-tect 410 Point Leak Detection Configuration
notification of Liebert precision cooling equipment.
These stand-alone devices include:

Liebert Universal Monitor

The Liebert Universal Monitor is an all-purpose, easy-to-use
microprocessor-based monitoring panel with connections for
up to 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs and 4 analog inputs.
Designed to bring critical monitoring information directly to
your facility or offsite location, the unit includes an on-board
modem to provide remote monitoring while minimizing
configuration and installation requirements. It features a
built-in LCD user interface, making the panel self contained
and accessible without additional hardware and software. Liqui-tect 460 Zone Leak Detection Configuration

Contact Closure Alarm Panels

The Liebert RCM series of contact closure alarm panels
provides customized alarm indication at a single location
for any dry contact input from environmental, power and
UPS systems, including Liebert units. These remote systems
continuously monitor your most critical support equipment
and instantly alert you to alarm conditions. Three different
system configurations are available for monitoring up to
eight points with communications and pager interface plus
eight digital outputs.

Liebert Leak Detection Modules

Liebert Liqui-tect® leak detection systems
provide quick sensing and accurate reporting
of leaks below the floor or above the ceiling
in critical facilities. These reliable systems
provide immediate warning and precise
location, allowing you to find and correct a
leak before moisture can damage computers,
wiring connections or other sensitive
electronics.

Temperature and Humidity Recorder

Liebert Universal Monitor A seven-day temperature and humidity recorder
permits close examination of computer room
environment condition and can be used as a
permanent record of the environmental control
system’s operation efficiency.
