3.1 European Union Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements
Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipment and stationary fire protection
systems in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-
gas), such as R407C, R134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-
gas). The regulation prohibits, among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere.
The F-Gas Regulation requires operators to use all measures that are technically feasible and do not
entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly and to
recover f-gas before disposing of equipment, as well as during service and maintenance.
Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
3.2 Connection Sizes
The copper pipe connections on the Liebert XDP are:
3.2.1 Recommended Pipe Size
Connect the main pipes between the Liebert XDP and the Liebert XD cooling modules according to
site specific documentation and the configuration guide for the Liebert XD system.
Elbows and restrictions must be minimized to get good fluid flow.
