Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Liebert XDK provides the dissipation of heat loads up to 17kW. The server rack is closed to the installation area, that means no heat load will dissipate to the envi- ronment. (see also chapter 2.) The cooling is provided by a closed cooling system via an air-to-water heat exchanger. The cooling capacity adapts to the heat load. 19" (483mm) rails are designed for components as well as rails and shelves. Cable entry is possible from the bottom and from the top.

Operating Conditions 2.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS 2.1 Proper Application The XDK is a water-cooled enclosure and is intended for removing heat from electronic equipment inside the cabinet. The cooling system in the cabinet is thermally independent of the room air. Water is used to cool equipment installed in the XDK. No additional cooling of the server room is required. NOTE Under certain conditions, a small amount of heat, (approximately 0.5kW), can escape into the room. CAUTION ! Risk of improp

Description 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General function The modular design facilitates the installation of 19-inch-wide equipment of varying depth. Heat produced by equipment in the cabinet, such as servers, is removed by the cold water system integrated into the server cabinet. The cooling system is isolated from the server area, protecting the sensitive equipment from water damage. The cooling system comprises a high-performance air/water heat exchanger, fans with fan control unit, fan-speed accor

Description 3.3 Control The server cabinet temperature is controlled by the fan control board A temperature sensor continuously measures the temperature of the server cabinet (server feed air). The air circulation flow rate is controlled by the fan speed according to the current thermal load. At temperatures lower than 70°F (21°C) fans rotate at 75% of maximum speed. Between 68°F and 73°F (20 and 23°C), speed increases proportionally to the temperature up to 96% of maximum speed. The failur

Description 3.4.1 Function Front and rear door are kept closed with two electromagnets. The door will be pushed open smoothly by a gas pressure spring if power to the electromagnets fails. If the doors are opened, the thermal load can escape into the room, preventing the servers from over- heating. The inflow of air with water droplets can also be prevented (Door opening due to humidity alarm). When the rear door is opened, the fans shut down automatically. Figure 4 Door locking mechanisms, op
