6.0 DISASSEMBLING THE LIEBERT DS FOR TRANSPORT
The Liebert DS has a modular frame construction that allows separating the unit into three sections.
Each of these sections is more easily maneuvered through tight spaces or placed in small elevators.
A qualified service technician with the required tools and recommended assistance can disassemble
an air-cooled unit in about four hours, assuming refrigerant evacuation is not required.
This procedure requires four or more people for lifting the filter and electric box assembly on down-
flow units and for lifting the blower and electric box assembly on upflow units.
NOTICE
Disassembling this unit requires substantial work, including reclaiming refrigerant and
charging the unit, cutting and brazing refrigerant lines, cutting and brazing water lines,
disconnecting and reconnecting electrical lines and moving heavy, bulky equipment. One
member of the crew disassembling the unit must be qualified in wiring, brazing and
refrigeration.
Improperly disassembling or reassembling the Liebert DS may affect warranty.
6.1 Required Equipment
•Piano jacks
• Stepladder for downflow units
• Refrigeration tools
6.2 Disassembly—Downflow Units
For detailed views of downflow units, see Figures 37 through 45.
1. Remove the unit from its shipping skid before beginning (refer to 5.2 - Unpacking the Unit).
2. Remove all panels except the top front accent.
3. Remove all filters. This allows access to the screws for metal plate blocking off the top coil and
removal of the filter plate.
4. All wires are hot-stamped and all circuit board connectors are lettered to ease connection. Some
cable ties must be cut and replaced. Refer to the unit’s wiring schematic on the unit’s deadfront
panel for details.
