of the filter without metallic or cardboard frame. The filter media is composed by fiber and latex.
They are easily accessed/replaced by opening the front panel(s).
Filters are laying on the coil surface to maximize the filtering surface so reducing air pressure drop.
On the top of the coil an L shape filter is placed to add more surface and to optimize coil exchange
rate.
High efficiency filters An extension hood with high efficiency air filter can be supplied on request and can be installed
(accessory) on top of the unit. It is available with 600mm height, it shall be the same design as the unit and
consist of sandwich panels lined with non-flammable insulation material of class A1 EU, density
20 kg/m3. Inside the hood optional high efficiency filters, filtration class ePM10 70%, ePM1 60%
or ePM1 80% in accordance with the ISO/EN 16890 standard. The filters are made of fiberglass
filter media. They are placed in “V” sections with a solid external frame in polypropylene and can
withstand remarkable pressure and flow variations.

4.2.3 Electrical reheating/heating

The heating resistors are of a rigid design for extended operational life and are normally utilized
to maintain room dry-bulb conditions during a system call for dehumidification. Each stage of
the heaters is made of finned armored stainless steel AISI 304 to maintain a low surface power
density. Ionization effects are eliminated owing to the low heater surface temperature.
Heating control is of the ON-OFF type. The heaters are phase balanced and a safety air high
temperature sensor measures the air temperature at the unit outlet and switches off the heater
if the air temperature is higher than the alarm threshold, moreover, heaters are provided with a
manual reset safety thermostat to disable them in the event of a high temperature.
The heating system also incorporates Miniature Circuit Breaker(s) which protect the heater(s)
from short circuits, should the harness be damaged accidentally. Due to the heat load generated
by the electrical heaters, these devices should respect a distance of 20cm around the fan blades
circumference.

A Master controls duty, standby and rotation, calculates System Values and sends it to the other
units in the system. The Master holds the selected number of units and starts/stops the units in
order to have the requested number of units working.
Standby Rotation Each unit in the group needs to get a unique communication number. The rotation index number

Lead-lag Units, before to go in standby mode, shall continue operation for the time set in “Overlap Timer”.
Auto Restart Delay Avoid a simultaneously re-start of multiple units (no matter if teamwork is selected or not). Each

5.1 Performances
Chilled water perimeter cooling units’ performances are linked to working conditions: return air and water temperatures. Each unit
model can provide a wide range of capacity depending on the environment it’s applied in, with a hoc coil to best suit the new data
center market trends.
Below a description of the most common conditions currently used in data center applications, which are in continues evolution
and they differentiated according to customers’ needs.
Liebert® PCW is an extremely flexible unit able to adapt to different site needs, Vertiv™ sales force can provide the unit
performances at different working conditions through a dedicated selecting tool.
Legacy
This kind of system generally includes a freecooling chiller and works with water regimes from 10°C to 15°C. Server containment
is not so common and the return air temperature to the Liebert® PCW is around 26°C. This system gives the possibility to work
in freeccoling mode thanks to low external temperatures during the entire cold season. The inlet water temperature around 10°C
minimizes the dehumidification effect compared to a comfort application, thus reducing energy wastage.
Smart
This kind of system generally includes freecooling/adiabatic chiller and works with water regimes from 18°C to 26°C, they are
always combined with a server containment. It’s a system optimized to offer the highest energy efficiency, thanks to the closure
of the aisle the return air to the Liebert® PCW can be significantly high and therefore higher water temperatures are allowed. This
maximizes the freecooling period and makes this system suitable for all climates; even on hot countries.
Eco
This kind of system is generally made of a standard chiller without freecooling and works with water regimes from 8°C to 15°C.
This system is often applied when the same chilled water system is used both for cooling the data center as well as for other
applications. In case of an existing system, only the perimeter chilled water units are replaced and no other modifications to the
chilled water plant is required. Thanks to server containment the return air to the Liebert® PCW can be significantly high. The low
water temperatures increase the risk of dehumidification and for data center applications the dehumidification is not an advantage,
in fact the only heat load provided by the server is sensible heat load. Liebert® PCW is thus optimized to provide the highest net
sensible capacity even at low water temperatures.

6.1 Introduction
Liebert® PCW units have been designed with particular care for sound and vibration problems.
Highest ventilation efficiency combined with the lowest sound emission have been obtained by the following design criteria:
- optimization of the aer­aulic circuit by accurate researches made in our thermodynamic laboratories, with special focus on
coils and filters
- complete mechanical insulation of the ventilating section

6.2 Sound Emission Spectra

Test conditions

The noise levels refer to free field conditions.

The instrument is placed at point [F] as shown in the figure.
The operating conditions are the following:
- Downflow unit with underflow air discharge and 30 Pa available external
static pres­sure.
- Upflow unit with ducted air discharge and 30 Pa available ex­ternal static
pressure.
- Maximum air flow with clean ePM10 50% filters.
- High power EC Fan Module
- Variable speed cooling system @100% cooling capacity.
All tests are performed in our laboratories.

Key for tables reading

The tables in this chapter show sound levels for every octave band frequen­cy.
The sound levels (both global and for each octave band) are expressed in dB with a tolerance of (- 0/+2) dB.
The data are referred to the main used configurations; for different configurations consult Hirating software.
The following keys are used:

PWL Sound Power Level calculated according to ISO 3744 procedure method
SPL Sound Pressure Level measured in free field conditions and at 1 meter from the unit according to ISO 3744
average method
Mode (1) Only ventilation, measured as explained in Test conditions above

NOTE: The sound levels global and for each octave band are expressed in dB with a tolerance of ( 0/+2) dB.
PWL - Sound Power Level calculated according to ISO 3744 procedure method.
SPL - Sound Pressure Level measured in free field conditions and at 2 meters from the front of the unit and 1,5 meters above the surface
according to ISO 3744 average method.
All PCW units have very high noise emission at maximum airflow.
Relevant expected values of Sound level dB(A) for lower airflow can be found in technical literature and simulation software.

6.3 Plenum with Silencing Cartridges (Accessory)

An extension hood with silencing cartridges can be supplied on request and can be installed on top
of the unit. It is available with 600mm height, it shall be the same design as the unit and consist of
sandwich panels lined with non-flammable insulation material of class A1 EU, density 20 kg/m3.
Inside the plenum there are special cartridges made of self- extinguishing material with a high noise
attenuation capacity. They are guaranteed against disintegration and release of particles friction of the
air. Despite a small additional pressure drop, these cartridges provide a remarkable sound power level
reduction. The plenum height is 600 mm.
