6.4.2 Brazing Preparations—Hard-Piped Units

After the holding charge for a hard-piped Liebert XDV has been vented, a torch can be used to remove

the caps over the ends of the supply and return lines.
During brazing, the lines must be filled with flowing dry nitrogen to prevent excessive oxidation and

scale formation inside the piping. Prevailing good refrigeration practices must be employed for piping

supports, leak testing, dehydration and charging. Failure to use good system practices may result in

damage to the system. Refer to the ASHRAE refrigeration handbook for general good-practice refrig-

eration piping.

Recommended Piping Size

NOTICE

To minimize the amount of refrigerant required, do NOT oversize the piping.

Connect the main pipes between the Liebert XDV branch piping and the Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC

according to Table 4. Elbows and restrictions must be minimized to ensure good fluid flow.
Please see Table 4 below for recommended pipe sizes and Figure 3 for piping segment locations.
