Liebert ® HPC-S™ Freecooling Chiller
Designed for the Efficient Cooling of Small Data Centers
Getting To A PUE Of 1.2
Freecooling data center chillers are designed to efficiently
supply chilled water to indoor data center thermal
management equipment.
The Liebert iCOM control system is easily networked to
The integrated freecooling technology used by the Liebert®
HPC-S™ Freecooling Chiller allows it to cool water when the
external ambient temperatures are below the chilled water
return temperature.This reduces annual energy consumption
of the entire chilled water system by over 30% in most
applications, while improving system availability at the
same time.
Additionally, coupling the Liebert CRV™ Optimized Aisle
The Liebert® HPC-S Freecooling Chiller provides reliable
year-round capacity, regardless of the environmental
working conditions, with extended high ambient
capability and freecooling functionality that eliminates
the need for low ambient compressor starting. The
unit is equipped with the latest technology by using EC
condenser fans, Copeland® scroll compressors and Liebert
iCOM™ control system.
provide efficient control of the chiller plant without the
need for a separate building automation system.
Control™ with cold aisle containment and the Liebert
HPC-S Chiller creates a system capable of achieving a
mechanical PUE of 1.20. This configuration thus ensures
that each watt of power is used to cool the servers,
hence delivering maximum availability.
The chiller operates with R410A refrigerant to meet
today’s data center demands by enabling businesses to
operate with maximized availability and efficiency.
Liebert HPC-S Chiller features:
EC Fans
High efficiency EC motors
deliver a 25% reduction
in energy consumption
compared to traditional
AC motors.
Scroll Compressor
Liebert HPC-S Chiller is
equipped with Copeland
digital scroll compressors
to improve efficiency and
reliability of performance.
Liebert iCOM control
Advanced unit and teamwork
control to maximize energy
efficiency.
Fast Start Ramp
Liebert HPC-S Fast Start Ramp
ensures full restoration of
chiller capacity after 100
seconds from power re-start.
Operation
It operates at extreme
ambient and water
temperature conditions.
Freecooling
Integrated freecooling
functionality delivers
additional energy savings
and greater reliability.
Refrigerant
Optimized for

High Efficiency
High efficiency design
resulting from the use of
a combination of the best
technologies on the marketintegrated economizer, wide
operating range, and EC
condenser fans.
Extremely Low Noise
Audible noise is minimized as
a result of low-noise, HyBlade
EC Fans.
Achieving Efficiency And Environmental Responsibility
Today, environmental responsibility is becoming increasingly fundamental for many organizations.
Liebert® HPC-S™ Freecooling Chiller enables data centers to achieve increased efficiency while reducing environmental impact,
through its ability to work in freecooling mode. This operation leverages the external environmental conditions to cool
the water, thus requiring compressor operation only when the outside temperature exceeds the temperature of the water
returning to the chiller. This occurs during more than 50% of the annual operating hours for most of the US.
