Designing a Liebert XD Solution

3.14 Liebert XD Piping Slope
The main supply and return lines to and from the XDP/XDC must be sloped downward toward the
XDP/XDC at a rate of 1-2" per 20 feet (25-51mm per 6m) of pipe run. Horizontal connector lines
should also be sloped downward from the cooling modules toward the main supply and return lines.
3.15 Bypass Flow Controllers
To ensure the Liebert XDP/XDC pumps operate within the optimum range, some installations require
one or more bypass flow controller(s). These devices are added to the field piping, and simulate the
flow of additional cooling modules.
Each bypass flow controller should be installed with one shutoff valve to allow the controller to be
disabled when cooling modules are added to a Liebert XD system.
If bypass flow controllers are required, they should be connected between the main supply and the
main return lines of the field piping. The connection points to the main supply and return lines should
be in a convenient and accessible location between the Liebert XDP/Liebert XDC and the first Liebert
XD module in the circuit. See Figures 29 and 28 for piping details of the bypass flow controller.
Refer to Table 9 to determine the number of bypass flow controllers needed, based on the total
nominal cooling capacity of the cooling modules in each Liebert XD system.
