3.6.2 Determining Vertical Placement of Liebert XDOs Above the Cold Aisle
In the maximum density configuration, Emerson recommends placing the Liebert XDOs between 18
and 24 inches (457-609mm) above the equipment cabinets. In some cases where the required density
is less, the front-to-rear spacing of Liebert XDOs in a row will be increased. To ensure coverage of the
wider spaces between the Liebert XDO units, the vertical distance between the cabinets and the Lie-
bert XDOs should be increased. However, the recommended maximum height of the Liebert XDO
above the cabinets is 30 inches (762mm). See Figures 15.
