Product Overview

Liebert PDX Cooling Unit for Data Centres and Server Rooms

The Liebert PDX cooling unit is a direct expansion precision air-conditioning system designed to manage heat generated by servers, networking systems, storage platforms and other mission-critical electronic equipment.

Available in cooling capacities from 15kW to 165kW, the Liebert PDX range can be configured for different room sizes, IT densities, airflow strategies and heat-rejection arrangements.

R410A refrigerant, enhanced heat exchangers, electronic expansion valves and variable-capacity compressor technologies help provide efficient operation under both full-load and partial-load conditions.

Digital Scroll and variable-speed compressor versions allow cooling capacity to follow changes in the facility heat load more accurately than conventional fixed-capacity cooling equipment.

Liebert EC Fan 2.0 technology adjusts airflow according to room requirements, helping reduce unnecessary fan power while maintaining the airflow required by the connected IT infrastructure.

The Vertiv iCOM control platform manages temperature, humidity, airflow, compressor operation, fan speed, alarms and communication between multiple cooling units.

Air-cooled and water-cooled versions are available, along with several free-cooling options for sites seeking to reduce compressor operating hours when environmental conditions permit.

Key Advantages

Efficient and Scalable Data Centre Cooling

Liebert PDX combines variable-capacity refrigeration, intelligent airflow management and advanced system controls for demanding critical cooling environments.

Electronically commutated fans provide variable-speed airflow with efficient operation at full and partial cooling loads.

Electronic Expansion Valve

Electronic refrigerant control helps optimise the refrigeration circuit during changing operating and partial-load conditions.

Vertiv iCOM Control

Intelligent control manages temperature, humidity, airflow, compressor capacity, fan speed, alarms and multi-unit coordination.

Multiple Free-Cooling Options

Supported configurations include direct-air, indirect-water and pumped-refrigerant economiser cooling options.

BMS and Network Connectivity

Optional communication hardware supports HTTP, SNMP, Modbus and BACnet connectivity for remote monitoring and BMS integration.
