2.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Background

The International Code Council’s International Building Code (IBC) is the primary code document for the design and installation of building systems. This has brought about increased scrutiny of mechan-ical and electrical equipment that is used in the operation of facilities, particularly those buildings designated as “essential facilities.” Previously, codes focused only on preventing equipment from breaking free from anchoring and becoming projectiles, and did not consider its structural integrity. These new codes, depending on the Use Group and Importance Factor of the building, may require equipment to function after a seismic event.

IBC-2000, -2009 has made the manufacturer of mechanical and electrical equipment responsible for designing, testing and certifying systems. Emerson, through a recognized Approved Agency, has con-ducted analytical modeling and dynamic shake-table testing of the Liebert CW to provide an option for those systems requiring seismic certification of compliance. The seismic shake-table testing was conducted in accordance with ICC-ES AC-156. This certification goes beyond the equipment’s ability to withstand seismic forces. The IBC system approach includes the equipment, equipment anchoring and the connections to the equipment (power, water supply and return and ducting). In essential applications the equipment must be capable of performing its primary function after a seismic event within the limit of certification.

2.2 Determining Whether a Unit is IBC-Compliant

The catalog Liebert CW unit is NOT IBC-compliant. To be IBC-compliant, units must be ordered with the factory-installed seismic bracing option. Liebert CW units with the seismic bracing option will have:

• Certification label—near the unit nameplate, behind the front panel• Certificate of compliance—included in the customer envelope with this manual• Factory-installed seismic bracing components

NOTE An approved agency is defined by IBC section 1702 as: An established and recognized agency regularly engaged in conducting tests or furnishing inspection services, when such agency has been approved.

NOTEFactory-installed seismic bracing components are painted red and must not be removed.

2.3 Certification Criteria

Liebert CW units equipped with the seismic option are certified to a maximum Ss of 3.0g (3.0 times the force of gravity), adjusted by the soil site coefficient to Soil Site Class D as the default when nei-ther the site soil properties nor the final equipment installation location is known. The certification maximum Sds value of 1.93g includes Soil Class and Seismic Use group corrections. Soil Classes A, B, C, D, E, Seismic Use groups I, II, III, IV and Seismic Design Categories A, B, C, D, E and F are all cov-ered under this certification, limited by the Sds value stated above.

A seismic importance factor, Ip, of 1.5 applies to this certification to include essential facility require-ments and life-safety applications for the Liebert CW system’s functionality after a seismic event.

Shake-table testing conducted in accordance with ICC-ES AC-156 enveloped a required response spectrum (RRS) defined by a maximum flexible region acceleration (AFLEX) of 3.2g and a zero period acceleration (ARIG) of 2.4g.

The Liebert CW, as described above, is approved for seismic application as a system when properly installed in the following configurations:

• Liebert CW Unit, with factory-installed seismic option, attached directly to a housekeeping pad using the anchoring system defined in this seismic installation instruction.

• Liebert CW Unit, with factory-installed seismic option and with factory-supplied plenum. Ple-nums must be flexibly attached to the duct system (if applicable). Unit and plenum must be anchored as defined in this seismic installation instruction.

• Liebert CW Unit, with factory-installed seismic option, installed on an Emerson-supplied, IBC-certified floor stand and attached securely to the building structure. The floor stand and mounting system must be Emerson catalog items, purchased from Emerson. The system must be anchored as specified in this seismic installation instruction.

• The certification excludes all non-Emerson supplied accessories, including but not limited to floor stands, isolators and restraints. Use of non-Emerson accessories will void IBC certification of the Liebert CW system.

3.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS OF SEISMIC INSTALLATION

All floor and housekeeping pads must be approved by the structural engineer of record to resist the added seismic loads from components being anchored as specified in 8.0 - Anchor and Load Requirements of Seismic Installation. When anchoring the Liebert CW to a floor, rebar interfer-ence must be considered.

The minimum housekeeping pad thickness must be the thickness required by the qualification report for the selected post-installed anchor or 1.5 times the depth the anchor is embedded, whichever is greater.

NOTICEInstallation in structural, lightweight concrete is not permitted unless otherwise approved by the structural engineer of record.

Contact your Emerson representative if a detailed Seismic Installation Calculation Package is required. The information required to perform the calculations should include (but not be limited to):

NOTEStructural engineer of record is defined as: The registered design professional responsible for the design of the designated seismic systems on the building construction documents.

Floor Data: • Concrete compressive strength and aggregate content

• Slab or lightweight concrete over metal deck

• Thickness

• Type of reinforcement (rebar, wire mesh or none)

Housekeeping Pad: • Concrete compressive strength and aggregate content

• Length, width and thickness

• Type of reinforcement (rebar, wire mesh or none)

• Doweled to floor or integrated

4.0 FLOOR AND FLOOR STAND SEISMIC MOUNTING

Whether floor-mounted or installed on a floor stand, the Liebert CW must be anchored to the floor or housekeeping pad. Field welding is required for seismic installations. In addition to the clearances specified in the Liebert CW user manual, SL-18057, clearance is required behind the unit to prevent damage to the equipment or building structure in a seismic event. Clearance requirements are depen-dent on the system mounting. Refer to 4.1 - Anchoring Systems Without Floor Stand and 4.2 - Anchoring Systems With Floor Stand for recommendations.

The post-installed anchors used for unit anchoring must be pre-qualified for seismic applications in accordance with ACI 335.2 and documented in a report by a reputable testing agency, such as the Evaluation Service Report issued by the International Code Council. Anchors must be installed to the torque specifications recommended by the anchor manufacturers to ensure maximum loading. Wide washers, sized to match the nominal diameter of the specified anchors, must be used at each anchor location. For tension load distribution the washer is to be placed between the anchor head and the connected equipment. The washers are to be Type A, Series W plain washers per ANSI B18.22.1 - 1965, R1975.

The floor or housekeeping pad must be rebar-reinforced structural concrete that is seismically designed and approved by the structural engineer of record to resist the added seismic loads from components being anchored to the floor (see 3.0 - Site Requirements of Seismic Installation). When installing anchors, rebar interference must be considered.

The installing contractor is responsible for the proper installation of all anchors and mounting hard-ware, observing the mounting requirement details outlined by the structural engineer of record.

NOTEThe floor stand used with EC units is not symmetrical, and its orientation to the Liebert CW is critical to lowering the EC fans. Unless the floor stand is installed in the correct position, the blowers will not lower into the floor stand.

Electrical Considerations of Seismic Installation

13

5.0 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF SEISMIC INSTALLATION

Input power and control wiring connections to the Liebert CW must be flexible and able to withstand movement in three dimensions. Relative motion caused by a seismic event must be absorbed to pre-vent damage to the unit, building structure and wiring. It is recommended that all connections to the unit be made as low as possible. The flexible connection should include at least one bend between the unit connection location and the first clamping point at the foundation or structure. It must be of suf-ficient length to makeup for the maximum displacement indicated in Figure 3.

NOTICE Risk of improper electrical supply connection. Can cause equipment damage during a seismic event.

NOTICE Risk of overheated terminals. Can cause wiring and component damage. Use copper wiring only. Make sure that all connections are tight.

! WARNINGRisk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.Disconnect local and remote power supplies before working within.Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included and check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.The Liebert iCOM™ microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the “Unit Off” mode. Some internal components require and receive power even during the “Unit Off” mode of the Liebert iCOM control.The factory-supplied optional disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch contains live high-voltage. With disconnect Off, check for voltage on load side.The only way to ensure that there is NO voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical schematic.Follow all local codes.

! WARNINGRisk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death.

Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working in the unit.

Do not operate upflow units without installing a plenum, ductwork or guard over the blower opening(s) on the top surface of the unit cabinet.

Ductwork must be connected to the blower(s), or a plenum must be installed on the blower deck for protection from rotating blower wheel(s) on upflow units.

! WARNINGRisk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death.

Installation and service should be done only by personnel who have been properly trained and qualified in the installation of air conditioning equipment.

Piping Considerations of Seismic Installation

15

6.0 PIPING CONSIDERATIONS OF SEISMIC INSTALLATION

All fluid connections to the unit must be flexible and able to withstand movement in three dimen-sions. Relative motion caused by a seismic event must be absorbed to prevent damage to the unit, building structure and piping. It is recommended that all connections to the unit are made as low as possible. The flexible connection should of sufficient length to make up for the maximum displace-ment indicated in Figure 6 and be securely clamped at the foundation or structure and the unit.

6.1 Fluid Connections

NOTICERisk of water leaks. Can cause unit and/or building damage. This unit requires a water drain connection and an external water supply to operate.Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit.Do not install this unit above equipment or machines that could be damaged by leaking water.Do not install equipment or machines that could be damaged by leaking water below this unit. Emerson recommends installing leak detection equipment for unit and supply lines.

6.1.1 Condensate Piping—Field-Installed

Whether supplied with 3/4" NPT gravity drain connection or 1/2" copper sweat connection from a fac-tory-installed condensate pump, the drain line of the unit will require a flexible element to permit movement. When selecting a suitable flexible element consider the following:

• The drain line may contain boiling water.• Drain is trapped internally. Do not trap external to the equipment.• Gravity drain line must be sized for 2 gpm (7.61 l/m) flow.• Condensate pump discharge sized based on available head.• Drain line must comply with all applicable codes.

6.1.2 Humidifier Supply Water—Optional Infrared or Steam Generating Humidifier

When selecting a suitable flexible element, permitting movement in three dimensions of sufficient length to make up for the maximum displacement, consider the following:

• The humidifier supply connection is 1/4" copper line with a maximum water pressure of 150 psi (1034kPa).

• Size the supply line for 1 gpm (3.8 l/m), with a minimum water pressure of 20 psi (138kPa).

6.2 Chilled Water Piping

The chilled water connections of the Liebert CW product, as with all connections, require a flexible element permitting movement in three dimensions to avoid damage to the unit, structure or piping system. Unlike the other fluid connections, the chilled water supply and return lines pose a unique problem because of the sizes involved. Line sizes can be as large as 2-5/8" OD copper. For these con-nections, Emerson recommends flexible expansion loops. Loops typically consist of two flexible sec-tions of convoluted stainless or bronze metallic hose with braided cover, two elbows and 180° return section with or without support bracket. These loops minimize the seismic loads to the piping system anchor points. Depending on the manufacturer, the connections to the loop are available in female copper sweat, NPT thread, flange or grooved. Maximum displacements are indicated in Figure 6.

! CAUTIONRisk of boiling water. Can cause personal injury.

The unit requires a drain line that may contain boiling water. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety equipment should service the drain line or work on parts near or connected to the drain line.

Figure 4 Horizontal expansion loop

Figure 5 Vertical expansion loop

Manual shutoff valves should be installed at the supply and return lines to each unit. This provides for routine service and emergency isolation of the unit. To prevent water damage, install a water detection system, such as a Liebert Liqui-tect® or floor drains with wet traps.

Figure 6 Piping—seismic considerations

Flexible Loops:All units, either rigidly mounted or mounted on vibration isolators, must be attachedto the piping system using flexible loops designed for seismic movement. Flexibleloops must be capable of movement in the ±X, ± Y, and ±Z planes and must completelyisolate the equipment from the piping. The loops must be suitable for the operatingand temperature range of the system; refer to Liebert installation instructions.This includes 1/4" copper humidifier suppl y, condensate drainage and chilled watersupply and return. Follow manufacture r’s installation instructions for proper seismicapplication of flexible loops.

Plenum and Ducting Consideration of Seismic Installation

18

7.0 PLENUM AND DUCTING CONSIDERATION OF SEISMIC INSTALLATION

7.1 Plenum Installation

Liebert front/rear return plenums provided by Emerson are certified as part of the Liebert CW prod-uct. Seismic installations requiring top duct collar (TDC) plenums on Liebert CW051 and larger units must use plenums specifically designed for the certified application. These plenums have additional internal structure to meet the system’s IBC certification criteria.

Seismic-certified installation of Liebert plenums requires the addition of plenum hold-down clips to secure the plenum on top of the unit. These clips must be installed inside the plenum and are included in the box of ship-with parts provided with the Liebert CW unit.

1. Assemble the plenum following the assembly instructions provided with the plenum.2. With the unit power OFF, lift the plenum and position it on top of the unit over the duct collar

provided.3. See Figure 7 and Table 2 for upflow plenum clip installation details and for the number of clips

and their approximate fastening locations; see Figure 8 and Table 3 for downflow plenums. Removing the front/rear grille improves access for the installation of plenum hold-down clips. Also see instructions provided with the box of parts shipped with the Liebert CW unit, Seismic Part Package Field Installation Instructions for Liebert CW [195800].

4. From inside the plenum, fasten the base of plenum to the top and top duct collar of the Liebert CW unit using the appropriate clips for each side.

5. Hook the clip over the unit top duct collar and plenum edge and fasten in place as shown in Figure 7. Install 1/4" self-drilling screws before the #8 screws.

6. Repeat Step 5 for the remaining clips (up to 12 locations).

NOTICEAll clips and fasteners are required to maintain IBC certification of conformity.

! WARNINGRisk of improper plenum mounting. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death in a seismic event.

! WARNINGRisk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death.

Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working in the unit.

Do not operate upflow units without installing a plenum, ductwork or guard over the blower opening(s) on the top surface of the unit cabinet.

Ductwork must be connected to the blower(s), or a plenum must be installed on the blower deck for protection from rotating blower wheel(s) on upflow units.

! WARNINGRisk of top-heavy unit falling over. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death.Read all of the following instructions before attempting to move the unit, lift it, remove packaging or prepare the unit for installation.

8.0 ANCHOR AND LOAD REQUIREMENTS OF SEISMIC INSTALLATION

All floor and housekeeping pads must be approved by the structural engineer of record to resist the added seismic loads from components being anchored as defined in this section. Data is presented by system configuration. The maximum system loads are given for each loading location or floor stand foot. The maximum load at the anchor is provided for proper sizing of the anchors (not provided by Emerson).

NOTEThe floor stand used with EC units is not symmetrical, and its orientation to the Liebert CW is critical to lowering the EC fans. Unless the floor stand is installed in the correct position, the blowers will not lower into the floor stand.

NOTE Load interactions must be considered when selecting anchors.

9.0 MAINTENANCE

9.1 Seismic Bracing

Liebert CW units supplied with the seismic option can be easily identified once the panels are removed. All seismic bracing is painted red and is factory-installed. Seismic bracing should not be removed except when absolutely necessary. If any bracing is removed for service access, reinstall it immediately after servicing unit.

9.1.1 Temporary Service Access

Seismic bracing is fastened to the unit frame with 1/4" self-drilling screws or bolts requiring a 3/8" (10mm) wrench for removal. Units with plenums use #8 Phillips head, self-drilling screws in addition to 1/4" self-drilling screws. Any bracing removed for service must be reinstalled and the 1/4" fasteners must be tightened to 10 ft-lb. If a screw is stripped out, install a replacement at a new location within 1/2" (12mm) of the original location.

9.2 Inspection of System Connections

Check all connections to the system during routine maintenance and take appropriate action to cor-rect any issues. System maintenance schedules must be established and performed.

! WARNINGRisk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.Disconnect local and remote power supplies before working within.Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included and check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.The Liebert iCOM™ microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the “Unit Off” mode. Some internal components require and receive power even during the “Unit Off” mode of the Liebert iCOM control.The factory-supplied optional disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch contains live high-voltage. With disconnect Off, check for voltage on the load side.The only way to ensure that there is NO voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical schematic.Follow all local codes.

! WARNINGRisk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death.

Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working in the unit.

Do not operate upflow units without installing a plenum, ductwork or guard over the blower opening(s) on the top surface of the unit cabinet.

Ductwork must be connected to the blower(s), or a plenum must be installed on the blower deck for protection from rotating blower wheel(s) on upflow units.

! WARNINGRisk of unit collapse. Can cause injury or death.

Braces are required for seismic certification. If removed for service access, reinstall brace after servicing unit.

9.3 Post-Seismic Inspection

Many areas of the country that are subject to seismic activity are working to draft local and national guidelines and procedures for evaluating earthquake-damaged buildings and equipment. In 1989, with funding from the California Office of Emergency Services, California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Applied Technology Council (ATC) published the ATC-20 Procedures for Post Earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings. Inspections outlined in the document, may be required by areas that have adopted ATC-20 and must be performed by a qualified individual.

The Liebert CW seismic certification of conformity is an assurance that the system will withstand a seismic event occurring within the defined limits of 2.3 - Certification Criteria and continue to per-form the primary function of cooling. After any significant seismic event greater than a magnitude 6.5, Emerson requires an inspection of the system structure and connections by a registered profes-sional engineer with five years of experience in seismic anchorage. This inspection will apply to equip-ment within a 100 mile (160km) radius of the seismic event. If evidence of structural cracks, yielding or loosening of structural members is found, the system must be replaced or restored to the original design configuration.
