The Liebert® PDX direct expansion cooling unit is equipped with the most advanced
industry technology, guaranteeing precise cooling of data centers and server rooms.
It comes complete with R410A refrigerant which allows the unit to reach significant levels of efficiency. The Liebert PDX
range also includes new generation Liebert EC Fans 2.0, thus ensuring top energy efficiency. The complete unit design has
furthermore been optimized with enhanced heat exchangers, delivering high levels of overall efficiency and cooling capacity. In
addition, Liebert PDX also includes unique Digital Scroll technology, making it the ideal, scalable cooling system able to expand with
evolving business needs. The Digital Scroll modulating capability greatly contributes to the efficiency levels reached by Liebert PDX
with a 50 kW unit (inclusive of Digital Scroll) consuming as little as a 10 kW unit, thus delivering advantageous energy savings.

Liebert® MC: The New Condensing Technology
Liebert® MC new microchannel condensers are ideally designed to match the outstanding performances of Liebert PDX.
The highly efficient Liebert MC unit directly communicates with Liebert PDX units via the integrated Vertiv™ ICOM™ Control,
providing significant advantages in terms of condenser management. The Liebert MC can thus be managed through the Liebert
PDX Vertiv ICOM control allowing the complete coordination of unit and condenser settings status and alarm conditions. The
possibility of selecting silent functioning modes at defined times (i.e. during the night or the weekend), through the unit control,
further ensures full operating flexibility.
