Unit Overview
Types of Cooling
A precision air conditioner is designed to control environments for telecom rooms, Internet hubs, and data
processing centers. The Uniflair DX series is available in the following types of cooling configurations:
• Air-cooled Direct Expansion—Air cooled DX units extract heat from the room and transfer it to the
outside using air cooled refrigerant heat exchangers (condensers). The room unit and external
condenser form an autonomous sealed circuit once installed. Each refrigeration circuit must be
connected to its remote air-cooled condenser with copper pipe.
• Water-cooled Direct Expansion—In DX water-cooled units, the heat extracted from the room is
transferred to water via a stainless steel brazed plate heat exchanger within the unit. The cooling water
may be supplied from the mains supply, a cooling tower or a well (open circuit), or recycled in a closed
loop cooled by external coolers. In a closed-loop system, an anti-freeze mixture of water and ethylene
glycol is normally used. The water cooled units have refrigerant circuits that are charged and sealed in
the factory and do not require site-installed refrigerant piping.
• Twin Cool with chilled water cooling and air-cooled or water-cooled Direct Expansion—Twin-Cool DX
units are typically deployed in installation sites where the chilled water source cannot be relied on for
continuous service. In this application, function priority is given to the chilled water circuit. If the chilled
water supply is insufficient, or if the water is not cold enough to dissipate the entire heat load, the
microprocessor controller automatically starts direct expansion operation. Alternately, the unit can be
configured to prioritize direct expansion operation and to activate chilled water operation in the event of a
compressor shut-down.
• Energy Saving with economizer cooling and water cooled Direct Expansion—Energy-Saving units
provide an energy-efficient solution in cool or temperate climates. They are designed to provide
significant reductions in operating costs and payback periods.The operating principle exploits the freecooling effect available when the outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature: the lower the
outside temperature, the greater the energy saving. The microprocessor controller manages the
operation of the unit automatically in three different situations:
– Typical operation—In summer, the unit operates as a typical closed circuit, glycol-cooled system.
– Partial Economization—As the external temperature decreases, the coolant can be used directly for
the free-cooling of the air. In this application, the coolant is circulated in the coil inside the unit, and
both the refrigerant circuit and the glycol circuit contribute to cooling, thus reducing the energy used
by the compressor.
– Total Economization—If the outside temperature increases further to where the coolant can dissipate
the entire heat load from the room, then the refrigerant circuit is shut down completely, and the unit
functions as a traditional chilled water unit with a modulating valve.

Power supply requirements
Review the electrical rating label on the equipment to determine the maximum current draw of the equipment.
WARNING
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
• Verify all equipment is grounded.
• Electrical service must conform to national and local electrical codes and regulations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Humidifier and drain requirements
If a humidifier is installed, the unit requires a potable cold water supply. Condensate must be removed by a
gravity drain using proper P-traps, or by an optional condensate pump.
For inlet water requirements for proper operation, see “Humidifier connections” on page 38.
Installation Types
Downflow units are designed for installation on raised access flooring using appropriate floor stands—or in nonraised floor environments on a provided sub-base discharge plenum supplied by Schneider Electric.
NOTE: Upflow units with air intake through the rear or front can also be installed on floors that are not raised
(these systems require a sub-base or floor-stand).
Installation on non-raised flooring
Installation on non-raised flooring without using floorstands is only allowable on upflow models with rear or front
air return. For installations without raised floors, a sub-base is required for routing piping and electrical wiring to
unit.
Installation on raised access flooring
Installation on raised access flooring requires the support of a floor stand beneath the unit. The floor stand
allows installation of the unit before the raised floor is installed, increases absorption of noise and vibrations,
and facilitates connection of pipes and cables. Use a vibration pad under each leg to reduce vibration.
Floor stand installation
Using the floor stand, position the unit on the mounting frame and secure it using the M8 screw inserts found on
the base of the unit.
For details about floor stand installation, see Uniflair LE Accessories Manual.
NOTE: Install a flexible seal (field supplied) at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thick between the raised floor panels and
the mounting frame, which should also be isolated from the metallic floor structure.

Air-cooled DX units must be connected to a remote outdoor condenser. Systems with remote outdoor
condensers must have discharge and liquid lines from the equipment to the condenser.
NOTE: Install all refrigerant lines in accordance with applicable industry guidelines as well as local and
national codes and regulations.
General guidelines
• All refrigerant piping is type L ACR hard drawn copper pipes (soft copper is unacceptable).
• All refrigerant lines/chilled water piping are free from debris.
• All refrigerant lines should be as short and direct as possible.
• All refrigerant piping joints must be made by brazing only; do not solder.
NOTE: The recommended brazing alloy is AWS A5.8 BCuP-5.
• All refrigerant pipes are installed with proper supports and approved refrigerant line clamps.
NOTICE
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY
• The laying the lines and the refrigerant connections must be performed by a qualified
technician.
• All lines must be properly supported, insulated and isolated to avoid premature joint
failures due to system vibrations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: Isolate piping from structural surfaces using proper refrigeration/AC vibration clamps.
NOTE: When brazing field-installed copper refrigeration lines, use a nitrogen purge to minimize contamination
of the refrigeration system during the brazing process.

Discharge line sizing
WARNING
HIGH TEMPERATURE RISK
Discharge lines must be insulated where contact could be made to avoid a contact burn.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Discharge lines must be sized such that refrigerant velocity in vertical lines is between 5 m/s (1000 ft/min) and
15 m/s (3000 ft/min). Refrigerant velocity in horizontal lines should be a minimum of 2.5 m/s (500 ft/min).
Refrigerant velocity must be high enough to keep oil entrained to ensure the proper flow of oil throughout the
system, in particular when operating at a partial load. If refrigerant velocity is too low, oil will not return to the
compressor. If the refrigerant velocity is too high, both the noise level and pressure drop will increase. The
acceptable pressure drops in discharge lines are up to 68.9 kPa (10 psi).
NOTE: Give consideration to the full and half load (or tandem) of the compressor to ensure that the operational
range stays within these limits.
Horizontal discharge lines must be pitched downward at a minimum of 25.4 mm per 3048 m (1 in. per 10 ft) to
ensure proper oil return.Trap the discharge line at the base of the vertical riser to prevent oil from returning back
to the compressor during shutdown periods.

Calculating total discharge line size
Use the following guidelines to determine the diameter of pipe:
• Use the formula:
Total equivalent length = Vertical line length + Horizontal line length + Equivalent length of fittings
NOTICE
MAXIMUM DISTANCE REQUIREMENT
• Total equivalent length should not exceed 40 m (130 ft).
• For line lengths greater than 40 m (130 ft), contact Schneider Electric.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
• For pipes running in a downward vertical direction, select pipe size from the
horizontal sizing table.

Refrigeration circuits
WARNING
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY
Charging and maintaining the refrigeration circuit must only be performed by qualified
personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
The refrigeration circuit from the factory is pre-charged with nitrogen. Prior to evacuation, a gross pressure test
should be performed to identify any leaks.
Gross pressure test
1. Open any shut-off valves present in the system to ensure that all of the components will be tested.
2. Pressurize the system to 17.2 bar (250 psi) with nitrogen.
3. Leave the system pressurized for 24 hours.
4. After 24 hours, verify that no drop in pressure has occurred.
After verifying the absence of leaks from the system, perform the system evacuation.
System evacuation
1. Open any shut-off valves present in the system to ensure that all of the components will be evacuated.
2. Connect a vacuum pump to the service ports on the system piping. Using a core removal tool may
reduce the time of the evacuation.
3. Pull the first vacuum down to 750 microns, then isolate the system from the vacuum pump.
4. Wait for an hour and check vacuum level. The vacuum should not rise above 1500 microns; if vacuum
level exceeds this level, check system for leaks.
5. Break the vacuum with nitrogen.
6. Pull a final vacuum to below 500 microns. With the system isolated from the vacuum pump the system
should not rise above 500 micron for a minimum of 2 hours.
NOTE: Install a ball valve before the micron gauge to prevent damage to the micron gauge during
charging.
7. After completing the vacuum seal, charge the system with refrigerant.

4. Charge to 80% of the calculated total.
NOTE: If the system is not ready for commissioning, then apply only a holding charge and record the
amount charged.
5. Start the compressor, and complete the charging process.
NOTE: Perform a slow charge to avoid compressor damage.
Water Piping Connections
For all water connections (except for the condensate drain):
1. Use shutoff valves (not supplied) to isolate the unit from the water circuit. If possible, use full port ball
valves to minimize the pressure drop.
2. Check that the water pipe sizes and the circulating pump quality are adequate; insufficient water flow
affects unit performance.
3. Check that the water flow directions are verified and connected properly between the unit and building.
NOTE: Assure that all pipes are free of debris and assure all system strainers are in place and oriented in
the correct direction.
4. Insulate all water pipes with closed cell insulating material avoiding air gaps (for example: Armaflex™ or
equivalent) to avoid condensation. The insulation must allow accessibility to the valves and three-piece
joints.
5. Check that the water circuits are supplied with a maximum water pressure of 2068 kPa (300 psi). Install
a safety valve with a setpoint of no more than 2068 kPa (300 psi).
