Liebert CRAC Spare PartsEmerson Network Power and Vertiv Components
Direct answer
Indigi Power and Cooling supplies genuine OEM and approved equivalent spare parts for Liebert precision cooling units across Australia and Papua New Guinea, covering the full brand lineage from original Liebert equipment through Emerson Network Power to current Vertiv platforms.
Parts are identified from the unit model and serial number, cross referenced across legacy Liebert, Emerson and Vertiv part numbers, and quoted with a confirmed lead time before you order. Common categories include EC and AC fan motors, iCOM controller and display components, control and relay boards, temperature and humidity sensors, pressure transducers, expansion and solenoid valves, panel filters, drain pumps, belts and humidifier consumables.
Where a component is obsolete we source the current Vertiv equivalent or an approved alternative rather than declaring the unit unsupportable. Email the model and serial to sales@indigipc.com.au or call 1800 046 344.
Brand lineage
Liebert, Emersonor Vertiv
The badge on your unit tells you roughly when it was made, not whether parts are available. All four names refer to the same product line.
Most Australian facilities running precision cooling own at least one unit whose badge no longer matches the company that supports it. A cabinet stencilled Emerson Network Power is a Liebert unit. A parts label reading Vertiv is the same component with a newer number. The lineage matters only because it determines which part number you should be quoting from.
| Era | Brand on the unit | What it means for parts |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s to 1980s | Liebert Corporation | Original precision cooling manufacturer. Legacy part numbers, most components now supplied as later equivalents |
| 1987 to 2000s | Liebert / Emerson | Emerson Electric acquires Liebert. Both names appear on units and on parts from this period |
| 2000s to 2016 | Emerson Network Power | Global data centre infrastructure brand. Very common badge on units still in service across Australia |
| 2016 to present | Vertiv | Current manufacturer. Vertiv part numbers are the ones to quote for anything currently in production |
Because of that history, the same physical component can carry a Liebert number, an Emerson number and a Vertiv number. We cross reference all three, so an old number written on a service tag from fifteen years ago is still a usable starting point.
Catalogue
Parts we supplyfor Liebert precision cooling
Grouped by system, with the components most commonly requested listed by name. If the part you need is not here, it is still worth asking, because this is the list of what gets ordered rather than the list of what exists.
| System group | Components supplied | Why they are replaced |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow and fans | EC plug fan motors and impellers, AC fan motors, complete fan assemblies, fan blades and scrolls, fan speed controllers, variable speed drives, motor capacitors, drive belts and pulleys on belt driven units | Bearing wear, drive failure and blocked airflow. The single most common category on units over ten years old |
| Refrigeration and valves | Thermostatic and electronic expansion valves, solenoid valves, hot gas bypass valves, pressure switches, filter driers, sight glasses, service valves, compressor contactors and crankcase heaters | Sticking valves, blocked driers and pressure control that has drifted out of range |
| Coils and heat transfer | Evaporator coils, condenser coils, plate heat exchangers, reheat elements, coil drain pans | Corrosion on coastal sites, fin damage and leaks on ageing DX and chilled water plant |
| Controls and electronics | iCOM controller boards, main control PCBs, display and LCD panels, relay boards, power supply modules, transformers, contactors, circuit breakers, communication and network cards | Board failure after a power event, blank or unresponsive displays, and loss of BMS or SNMP reporting |
| Sensors and instrumentation | Return and supply air temperature sensors, remote rack sensors, humidity sensors, combined temperature and humidity probes, pressure transducers, water detection cable and spot detectors, airflow switches | Drift, corrosion of the probe and false alarms that make the whole unit untrustworthy |
| Chilled water and condenser water | Two and three port control valves, valve actuators, differential pressure sensors, flow switches, isolation valves, strainer elements | Actuators that no longer stroke the valve fully, which shows up as a unit that cannot hold setpoint at part load |
| Humidification | Steam humidifier cylinders and bottles, electrodes, infrared lamps, fill and drain valves, conductivity probes, humidifier control boards | Scale build up and consumable end of life. Water quality determines how often, so it varies enormously by site |
| Maintenance consumables | Panel and pleated air filters, filter clips and frames, condensate drain pumps, float switches, condensate trays, drain hose, belts, fuses and gaskets | Planned renewal. These are the items worth holding on site rather than ordering after a failure |
Diagnosis first
The symptom usuallynames the part
Most parts enquiries start with a fault rather than a part number. This maps the alarms and symptoms we are asked about most often to the components that actually cause them, so you can order the right thing the first time instead of replacing parts in sequence.
| Symptom or alarm | Parts usually involved | What to check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Unit runs but the room will not hold setpoint | Panel filters, evaporator coil, EC fan motor, expansion valve, sensors | Filter condition and measured airflow first. A blocked filter path produces the same symptom as a failing fan and costs a fraction to fix |
| Fan not running or running slowly | EC fan motor, fan speed controller, variable speed drive, motor capacitor, drive belt | Whether the fan is commanded on at the controller. A fan that is not being asked to run is a control fault, not a motor fault |
| High head pressure alarm and trips on hot days | Condenser fan motors, head pressure control board, pressure transducer, condenser coil | Condenser coil cleanliness and every condenser fan actually turning. One dead fan on a multi-fan condenser often raises no alarm |
| Blank, frozen or unreadable display | iCOM display panel, main control board, power supply module, ribbon cable | Supply voltage at the board and whether the unit is still running to setpoint with a dead screen, which narrows it to the display |
| Humidity alarm or humidifier not producing steam | Humidifier cylinder or bottle, electrodes, fill and drain valve, conductivity probe, humidity sensor | Cylinder hours and water conductivity. Cylinders are consumables and their life is set by the site water, not by the unit |
| Water under the unit | Condensate pump, float switch, drain pan, drain hose, humidifier drain valve | Whether the drain has fall and is clear. Pumps often get replaced when the blockage was downstream of them |
| Sensor or probe fault codes | Temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure transducers, remote rack sensor cable | Whether the reading is implausible or simply drifted. Drift is a calibration job, implausible readings mean the probe or its cable |
| Loss of BMS or network monitoring | Communication card, network card, control board, terminating resistors | The network side before the unit side. The card is often fine and the switch port, cable or address is the actual fault |
| Compressor short cycling or not starting | Contactor, capacitor, crankcase heater, pressure switch, control board | Contactor contacts and control voltage. A compressor is the last thing to condemn and the most expensive to condemn wrongly |
Alarm codes and their meanings are set out in full on our Liebert CRAC fault codes and troubleshooting guide.
Platforms

When a part is obsolete
- Current Vertiv equivalent identified against the original specification
- Approved alternative component where the original is no longer produced
- Compatible aftermarket part where an approved alternative does not exist
- Reconditioned or exchange unit on high value items such as compressors and boards
- Written advice where the honest answer is that replacement of the unit is the better spend
Identification
How to identifythe part you need
Four pieces of information turn a vague parts enquiry into a firm quote. Most people already have three of them without realising it.
Find the unit nameplate
Usually inside the front panel or on the side of the cabinet, sometimes behind the filter access. It carries the model number and the serial number. Photograph it rather than transcribing it, because a single wrong character sends the quote to the wrong platform.
Photograph the failed part in place
Before removal, with enough of the surrounding assembly visible to show how it mounts. Orientation, connector type and mounting pattern are what distinguish otherwise identical looking components.
Record any number on the part itself
Boards, motors and sensors normally carry their own label. Any number is useful, even a superseded one, because it can be traced forward through the Liebert, Emerson and Vertiv numbering.
Note the fault and the site
The alarm text or code, when it started, and where the unit is. Site location determines freight and whether the part can be fitted on the same visit. Send it all to sales@indigipc.com.au or call 1800 046 344.
Availability
Lead time isconfirmed before you order
Nobody stocks every part for a sixty year old product line. What matters is knowing which category yours falls into before you commit. Precision cooling spares split fairly cleanly into three groups: consumables and common wear items move quickly, platform specific electronics and motors are ordered against your serial number, and obsolete components take longest because the work is sourcing an equivalent rather than picking a number from a catalogue.
| Part group | Supply route | Indicative lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Filters, belts, fuses, condensate pumps and general consumables | Commonly available in Australia | Days |
| Sensors, transducers, contactors, capacitors and humidifier consumables | Australian distribution or ex-OEM | Around one to two weeks |
| EC fan motors, control boards, iCOM components, valves and actuators | Ordered ex-OEM against your unit serial number | Around two to four weeks |
| Obsolete and discontinued platform components | Equivalent identified and sourced, or exchange unit | Advised per enquiry, typically longer |
| Coils, compressors and major assemblies | Built or sourced to the unit specification | Advised per enquiry |
Lead times above are indicative only and vary with OEM stock at the time of order. Every quote we issue states the confirmed lead time for your specific part before you commit to it, and we say so plainly when the honest answer is that the part will take a while.
For sites that cannot absorb that wait, the practical answer is a small critical spares holding on site: filters, a spare fan motor, a control board and the sensors specific to your platform. We can specify that holding from your asset list so the parts sitting on your shelf are the ones your units actually use.
Fitting
Parts supplied,or supplied and fitted
You can buy the part and fit it yourself, or have it fitted by a technician who works on these platforms every week. Refrigerant work is carried out under ARCtick licence and electrical work by licensed electricians.
Where a part is replaced under a maintenance plan, the diagnosis, the part and the labour arrive as one job rather than three separate conversations.
Coverage
Parts suppliedacross Australia and the Pacific
Brisbane and QLD
Our base at Tingalpa.
Queensland and Northern Territory sites run hot, so condenser fans and head pressure control fail here more than anywhere else.
Sydney and NSW
The largest concentration of legacy Liebert and Emerson Network Power plant in the country, much of it in tenanted buildings.
Melbourne and VIC
Wide seasonal swing, so head pressure control components and winter operation faults are the common parts requests.
Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin and Hobart
Freight to site with fitting arranged where required.
Remote and regional sites are the ones that benefit most from a critical spares holding.
Papua New Guinea and the Pacific
Port Moresby, Lae and the wider Pacific.
Freight and customs time is the constraint, which makes on site spares holdings worth more than they are on the mainland.
Mining and remote infrastructure
Dust shortens filter and fan life dramatically.
Consumables ordered on a schedule beat consumables ordered after an alarm.
Questions
Liebert spare partsFAQs
What facilities and maintenance teams ask when a precision cooling unit needs a component. If yours is not here, call 1800 046 344.
Where can I buy Liebert CRAC spare parts in Australia?
Indigi Power and Cooling supplies Liebert, Emerson Network Power and Vertiv precision cooling spare parts across Australia and Papua New Guinea, from our base at 10/240 New Cleveland Road, Tingalpa QLD 4173. Send the unit model and serial number to sales@indigipc.com.au or call 1800 046 344 and we will identify the component and quote it with a confirmed lead time. We supply parts on their own, or supplied and fitted by our technicians.
Are Liebert, Emerson Network Power and Vertiv parts the same thing?
They are the same product line under four different names. Liebert Corporation was the original manufacturer, Emerson Electric acquired it in 1987, the business traded as Emerson Network Power through the 2000s, and it became Vertiv in 2016. A single component can therefore carry a Liebert number, an Emerson number and a Vertiv number. We cross reference all of them, so an old part number from a service record fifteen years ago is still a valid starting point.
Can you supply parts for a discontinued Liebert unit?
Usually yes. Where the original component is no longer produced we identify the current Vertiv equivalent, an approved alternative, or a compatible aftermarket part, and on high value items such as boards and compressors an exchange or reconditioned unit is often the sensible route. Platforms such as Deluxe System/3, Challenger 3000, DataMate and Mini-Mate are still supportable. Where the honest answer is that replacing the unit is a better use of the money, we say so in writing.
What information do you need to quote a Liebert CRAC part?
The unit model number and serial number from the nameplate, a photograph of the failed part in place before removal, any number printed on the part itself, and the site location. The nameplate is normally inside the front panel or on the side of the cabinet. Photographs beat transcription, because one wrong character in a model number sends the quote to the wrong platform. With those four items we can almost always quote without a site visit.
How long do Liebert spare parts take to arrive?
Consumables such as filters, belts and condensate pumps are commonly available within days. Sensors, transducers and humidifier consumables are usually around one to two weeks. EC fan motors, control boards, iCOM components and valves are ordered ex-OEM against your serial number and typically run around two to four weeks. Obsolete components take longer because the work is sourcing an equivalent. These bands are indicative, and every quote states the confirmed lead time for your specific part before you order.
Which Liebert parts are worth holding on site?
Panel filters for every unit, a spare EC fan motor for the most critical unit, the temperature and humidity sensors specific to your platform, a control board where the site cannot tolerate a two to four week outage, and humidifier consumables if the units humidify. The value of a spares holding rises with distance from a capital city, so remote, regional and Pacific sites benefit most. We can specify a holding from your asset list so the parts on your shelf match the units you actually own.
Do you supply genuine OEM parts or aftermarket equivalents?
Both, and we tell you which one you are being quoted. Genuine OEM parts are the default where the component is in production and the difference matters, particularly control boards carrying factory firmware. Approved equivalents are appropriate for many motors, sensors, drives and consumables, and are often the only route on end of life platforms. What we do not do is quote an equivalent and let you assume it is OEM.
Can you fit the part as well as supply it?
Yes. Our technicians work on Liebert, Vertiv, STULZ and Uniflair precision cooling across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the rest of the country. Refrigerant work is carried out under ARCtick licence and electrical work by licensed electricians. Where the unit is covered by a maintenance plan, diagnosis, part and labour are handled as one job. See our CRAC maintenance page for what that covers.
My iCOM display is blank. Is that the board or the display?
Either, and the way to tell them apart costs nothing. If the unit is still running and holding setpoint with a dead screen, the fault is almost certainly the display panel or its ribbon cable rather than the main control board. If the unit has also stopped controlling, suspect the control board or its power supply module. Check supply voltage at the board before ordering anything. Our Liebert fault codes guide covers the alarm side in detail.
Do you ship Liebert parts to Papua New Guinea and the Pacific?
Yes. We supply precision cooling parts into Papua New Guinea and the wider Pacific, where freight and customs clearance rather than OEM stock is usually the longest part of the wait. That is exactly why we recommend Pacific sites carry a small critical spares holding covering filters, sensors and one fan motor per critical unit. See our Papua New Guinea and Pacific page.
