General Description
McQuay Air-Cooled Global Water Chillers are complete, self-contained automatic
refrigerating units. Every unit is completely assembled, factory wired, charged, and
tested. Each unit consists of twin air-cooled condensers with integral subcooler
sections, two tandem or triple scroll compressors, brazed-plate or replaceable tube,
dual circuit shell-and-tube evaporator, and complete refrigerant piping. Liquid line
components include manual liquid line shutoff valves, sight-glass/moisture indicators,
solenoid valves, and thermal expansion valves. Other features include compressor
crankcase heaters, an evaporator heater for chilled water freeze protection, limited
pumpdown during “on” or “off” periods, automatic compressor lead-lag to alternate the
compressor starting sequence, and sequenced starting of compressors.
The electrical control center includes all equipment protection and operating controls
necessary for dependable automatic operation. Condenser fan motors are protected in
all three phases and started by their own three-pole contactors.
Manuals
This manual covers the installation, maintenance and service for dual circuit, AGZ,
scroll compressor chillers. Operating information is contained in the operating manual
OM AGZ-1.
Inspection
Check all items carefully against the bill of lading. Inspect all units for damage upon
arrival. Report shipping damage and file a claim with the carrier. Check the unit
nameplate before unloading, making certain it agrees with the power supply available.
McQuay is not responsible for physical damage after the unit leaves the factory.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are available in the Physical Data
tables beginning on page 31.

WARNING
Sharp edges on unit and coil surfaces are a potential hazard to personal safety.
Avoid contact with them.
Handling
Be careful to avoid rough handling of the unit. Do not push or pull the unit from
anything other than the base. Block the pushing vehicle away from the unit to prevent
damage to the sheet metal cabinet and end frame (see Figure 1).
To lift the unit, 2 1/2" (64mm) diameter lifting tabs are provided on the base of the
unit. Arrange spreader bars and cables to prevent damage to the condenser coils or
cabinet (see Figure 2).

General
The clearances required for design-life operation of AGZ air-cooled condensers are
described in the previous section. Occasionally, these clearances cannot be maintained
due to site restrictions such as units being too close together or a fence or wall
restricting airflow, or both.
Fortunately, the McQuay AGZ chillers have several features that can mitigate the
problems attributable to restricted airflow.
• The condenser section is shaped as shown Figure 4. This allows inlet air for these
coils to come in from either side. A vertical coil and its adjacent angled coil are
manifolded together to serve one refrigerant circuit.
• The MicroTech II™ control is proactive in response to “off-design conditions”. In
the case of single or compounded influences restricting airflow to the unit, the
microprocessor will act to keep the compressor(s) running (possibly at reduced
capacity) rather than allowing a shut-off on high discharge pressure.
• The MicroTech II™ control can be programmed to sequence the compressors in the
most advantageous way. For example, in the diagram shown below, it might be
desirable to program circuit #1 to be the lag circuit (last circuit to reach full load)
during periods of high ambient temperatures.
Circuit #1 Circuit #2
NOTE: Models AGZ 026 to 035 do not have an interior slanted coil.
The following sections discuss the most common situations of condenser air restriction
and give capacity and power adjustment factors for each. Note that in unusually severe
conditions, the MicroTech II™ controller would adjust the unit operation to remain
online until a less severe condition is reached.

Figure 15 shows isolator locations. See Dimensional Data starting on page 36 for detailed
mounting hole locations.
Isolators are also recommended for slab installations, primarily to keep the unit base from
resting its entire length directly on the slab.
Isolator Installation
The unit should be initially installed on shims or blocks at the listed free height. When all
piping, wiring, flushing, charging, etc. is completed, adjust the springs upward to load
them and to provide clearance to remove the shims or blocks.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping connections and at least three feet of
conduit flex tie-ins. Piping and conduit must be supported independently of the unit.

Water Piping
Local authorities can supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes
required for safe and proper installation.
Install piping with minimum bends and changes in elevation to minimize pressure drop.
The following issues must be considered when designing and installing water piping:
1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
2. Shutoff valves are required to isolate the unit from the piping during unit servicing.
3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Drains must
be installed at the lowest points in the system.
4. Adequate water pressure must be maintained (expansion tank or regulating valve).
5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit are required to aid in unit
servicing.
6. A strainer or other means of removing foreign matter from the water before it
enters the pump must be installed. Place the strainer far enough upstream to
prevent cavitation at the pump inlet (consult pump manufacturer for
recommendations). The use of a strainer will prolong pump life and keep system
performance up.
7. Flush the system water piping thoroughly before making connections to the unit
evaporator. Be sure to install a strainer (40-mesh for models AGZ 010 through 070
and 20-mesh for AGZ 075 through 130) in the return water line before the inlet to
the chiller. Design the water piping so the chilled water circulating pump
discharges into the evaporator inlet.
8. The unit’s evaporator has a thermostat and heater to prevent freeze-up down to -
20°F (-29°C). The heating cable can be wired to a separate 115V supply circuit.
As shipped from the factory, the heating cable is wired to the control circuit. All
water piping to the unit must also be protected to prevent freezing.
9. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller, flush the system thoroughly before unit
installation. Regular water analysis and chemical water treatment for the
evaporator loop is recommended immediately at equipment start-up.
10. The total water volume in the system should be sufficient to prevent frequent “on-
off” cycling. Turnover rate should not be less than 4 minutes for normal variable
cooling loads.
11. When glycol is added to the water system for freeze protection, the refrigerant
suction pressure will be lower, cooling performance less, and water side pressure
drop greater. If the percentage of glycol is high, or if propylene is used instead of
ethylene glycol, the added pressure drop and loss of performance could be
substantial. When Glycol or Ice are selected as Unit Mode, the MicroTech II will
automatically reset the available range for the Leaving Water Temperature,
Freezestat and Evaporator Pressure settings.
12. Reset the freezestat setting to approximately 4 to 5 degrees F (2.3 to 2.8 degrees C)
below the leaving chilled water setpoint temperature. See the section titled
“Glycol Solutions” for additional information concerning glycol.
13. Perform a preliminary leak check before insulating the piping and filling the
system.
14. Piping insulation should include a vapor barrier to prevent condensation and
possible damage to the building structure.

Flow Switch
Mount a water flow switch in the leaving water line to shut down the unit when water
flow is interrupted. A flow switch is an equipment protection control and should never
be used to cycle a unit.
A “paddle” type flow switch is available from McQuay (part number 017503300).
Certain minimum flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in Table 10
on page 19.
Installation should be as shown in Figure 18. Connect the normally open contacts of
the flow switch in the unit control center at terminals 44 and 61. There is also a set of
normally closed contacts on the switch that can be used for an indicator light or an
alarm to indicate when a “no flow” condition exists. Freeze protect any flow switch
that is installed outdoors. Manufacturer’s instructions included with the switch should
be followed.
NOTE: Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.
They can freeze and not indicate a no-flow condition.

Glycol Solutions
The use of a glycol/water mixture in the evaporator to prevent freezing will reduce
system capacity and efficiency, as well as increase pressure drop. The system capacity,
required glycol solution flow rate, and pressure drop with glycol may be calculated
using the following formulas and tables.
1. Capacity – Multiply the capacity based on water by the Capacity correction factor
from Table 11 through Table 14.
2. Flow – Multiply the water evaporator flow by the Flow correction factor from
Table 11 through Table 14 to determine the increased evaporator flow due to
glycol.
If the flow is unknown, it can be calculated from the following equation:
24 × Tons Capacity ( glycol )
Glycol Flow (gpm) = × Flow Correction Factor )
Delta − T
For Metric Applications – Use the following equation for metric applications:
kW Capacity
Glycol Flow (l/s) = × Flow Correction Factor
4.18 × Delta − T
3. Pressure drop -- Multiply the water pressure drop from page 25 by Pressure Drop
correction factor from Table 11 through Table 14. High concentrations of
propylene glycol at low temperatures may cause unacceptably high pressure drops.
4. Power -- Multiply the water system power by Power correction factor from Table
11 through Table 14.
CAUTION
Do not use an automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade glycols must be
used. Automotive antifreeze contains inhibitors which will cause plating on the
copper tubes within the chiller evaporator. The type and handling of glycol used
must be consistent with local codes.

As fouling is increased, performance decreases. For performance at other than 0.0001 (0.0176)
fouling factor, refer to Table 15 or Table 16.
Foreign matter in the chilled water system will adversely affect the heat transfer capability of
the evaporator and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. Maintain
proper water treatment to provide optimum unit operation.

Pre Start-up
The chiller must be inspected to ensure no components became loose or damaged
during shipping or installation.
Start-Up
Refer to the MicroTech II Controller information in the operating manual OM AGZ-1
to become familiar with unit operation before starting the chiller.
There should be adequate building load (at least 50 percent of the unit full load
capacity) to properly check the operation of the chiller refrigerant circuits.
Be prepared to record all operating parameters required by the “Compressorized
Equipment Warranty Form”. Return this information within 10 working days to
McQuay International as instructed on the form to obtain full warranty benefits.
7. There may be a delay of 2 minutes after closing S1. The time delay is due to the
compressor inherent motor protection or the Stage Up Timer counting. This should
only occur on initial start-up or when power to the chiller has been turned off and
back on. More than one compressor will not start at the same time.
8. After the chiller has been operating for a period of time and has become stable,
check the following:
S Compressor oil level. (Some scroll compressors do not have oil sight glasses.)
S Refrigerant sight glass for flashing
S Rotation of condenser fans
9. Complete the “Compressorized Equipment Warranty Form”.
CAUTION
Electrical power must be applied to the compressor crankcase heaters 24 hours
before starting unit to drive off refrigerant from the oil.
1. Open all electrical disconnects and check all power wiring connections. Start at
the power block and check all connections through all components to and including
the compressor terminals. These should be checked again after 3 months of
operation and at least yearly thereafter.
2. Check all control wiring by pulling on the wire at the spade connections and
tighten all screw connections. Check plug-in relays for proper seating and to
insure retaining clips are installed.
3. Put System Switch (S1) to the Emergency Stop position.
4. Put both circuit #1 & #2 switches to the Pumpdown and Stop position.
5. Apply power to the unit. The panel Alarm Light will stay on until S1 is closed.
Ignore the Alarm Light for the check out period. If you have the optional Alarm
Bell, you may wish to disconnect it.
6. Check at the power block or disconnect for the proper voltage and proper voltage
between phases. Check power for proper phasing using a phase sequence meter
before starting unit.
7. Check for 120Vac at the optional control transformer and at TB-2 terminal #1 and
the neutral block (NB).
8. Check between TB-2 terminal #7 and NB for 120Vac supply for transformer #2.
9. Check between TB-2 terminal #2 and NB for 120Vac control voltage. This
supplies the compressor crank case heaters.
10. Check between TB-3 terminal #17 and #27 for 24Vac control voltage.
Component Operation
Hot Gas Bypass (Optional)
This option allows the system to operate at lower loads without excessive on/off
compressor cycling. The hot gas bypass option is required to be on both refrigerant
circuits because of the lead / lag feature of the controller.
This option allows passage of discharge gas into the evaporator inlet (between the TX
valve and the evaporator) which generates a false load to supplement the actual chilled
water or air handler load.
Note: The hot gas bypass valve cannot generate a 100% false load.
The pressure regulating valve is a Sporlan SHGBE-8 and factory set to begin opening
at 69 psig and can be changed by changing the pressure setting. The adjustment range
is 0 to 100 psig. To raise the pressure setting, remove the cap on the bulb and turn the
adjustment screw clockwise. To lower the setting, turn the screw counterclockwise. Do
not force the adjustment beyond the range it is designed for, as this will damage the
adjustment assembly. The regulating valve opening point can be determined by slowly
reducing the system load while observing the suction pressure. When the bypass valve
starts to open, the refrigerant line on the evaporator side of the valve will begin to feel
warm to the touch.
WARNING
The hot gas line may become hot enough to cause injury.
Be careful during valve checkout.
WARNING
Pump out refrigerant before removing end flange for replacement of core(s) to
remove liquid refrigerant and lower pressure to prevent accidental blow off of
cover. EPA recovery regulations apply to this procedure.
A condenser liquid line service valve is provided for isolating the charge in the
condenser, but also serves as the point from which the liquid line can be pumped out.
With the line free of refrigerant, the filter-drier core(s) can be easily replaced.
System Adjustment
To maintain peak performance at full load operation, the system superheat and liquid
subcooling may require adjustment. Read the following subsections closely to
determine if adjustment is required.
Liquid Line Sight Glass
The color of the moisture indicator is an indication of the dryness of the system and is
extremely important when the system has been serviced. Immediately after the system
has been opened for service, the element may indicate a wet condition. It is
recommended that the equipment operate for about 12 hours to allow the system to
reach equilibrium before deciding if the system requires a change of drier cores.
Bubbles in the sight glass at constant full load indicates a shortage of refrigerant, a
plugged filter-drier, or a restriction in the liquid line. However, it is not unusual to see
bubbles in the sight glass during changing load conditions.
Refrigerant Charging
Liquid line subcooling at the liquid shut-off valve should be between 15 and 20 degrees
F at full load. If the unit is at steady full load operation and bubbles are visible in the
sight glass, then check liquid subcooling.
NOTE: Before adjusting superheat, check that unit charge is correct and liquid line sight
glass is full with no bubbles and that the circuit is operating under stable, full load
conditions.
The suction superheat for the suction leaving the evaporator is set at the factory for 8 to
12 degrees F at full load. To have full rated unit performance, the superheat must be
about 8 degrees F at 95°F outdoor ambient temperature.
Crankcase Heaters
The scroll compressors are equipped with externally mounted band heaters located at
the oil sump level. The function of the heater is to keep the temperature in the
crankcase high enough to prevent refrigerant from migrating to the crankcase and
condensing in the oil during off-cycle.
Power must be supplied to the heaters 24 hours before starting the compressors.
Evaporator
Models AGZ 026 through 070
The evaporator is a compact, high efficiency, single or dual circuit, brazed plate-to-
plate type heat exchanger consisting of parallel stainless steel plates.
The evaporator is protected with an electric resistance heater and insulated with 3/4"
(19mm) thick closed-cell polyurethane insulation. This combination provides freeze
protection down to -20°F (-29°C) ambient air temperature.
The water side working pressure is 363 psig (2503 kPa). Evaporators are designed and
constructed according to, and listed by, Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Models AGZ 075 through 130
The evaporator is direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing in the
baffled shell side and refrigerant flowing through the tubes. Two independent
refrigerant circuits within the evaporator serve the unit's dual refrigerant circuits.
The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable and insulated with
3/4" (19mm) thick vinyl nitrate polymer sheet insulation, protecting against water
freeze-up at ambient air temperatures to -20°F (-29°C). An ambient air thermostat
controls the heater cable. The fitted and glued-in-place insulation has a K factor of
0.28 Btu in/hr ft2 °F at 75°F.
The refrigerant (tube) side maximum working pressure is 300 psig (2068 kPa). The
water side working pressure is 152 psig (1048 kPa). Each evaporator is designed,
constructed, inspected, and stamped according to the requirements of the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code. Double thickness insulation is available as an option.

WARNING
Service on this equipment is to be performed by qualified refrigeration
personnel familiar with equipment operation, maintenance, correct servicing
procedures, and the safety hazards inherent in this work. Causes for repeated
tripping of equipment protection controls must be investigated and corrected.
Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit.
Anyone servicing this equipment must comply with the requirements set forth
by the EPA in regards to refrigerant reclamation and venting.
Filter-Driers
A replacement of the filter-drier is recommended any time excessive pressure drop is
read across the filter-drier and/or when bubbles occur in the sight glass with normal
subcooling. The maximum recommended pressure drops across the filter-drier are as
follows:
The filter-drier should also be changed if the moisture indicating liquid line sight glass
indicates excess moisture in the system.
During the first few months of operation the filter-drier replacement can be necessary if
the pressure drop across the filter-drier exceeds the values listed in the paragraph
above. Any residual particles from the condenser tubing, compressor and
miscellaneous components are swept by the refrigerant into the liquid line and are
caught by the filter-drier.
Refrigerant Charging
AGZ air-cooled chillers are shipped factory charged with a full operating charge of
refrigerant but there can be times that a unit must be recharged at the job site. Follow
these recommendations when field charging. Refer to the unit operating charge found
in the Physical Data Tables.
Unit charging can be done at any steady load condition (preferably at 75 to 100% load)
and at any outdoor temperature (preferably higher than 70°F (21.1°C). Unit must be
allowed to run 5 minutes or longer so that the condenser fan staging is stabilized at
normal operating discharge pressure. For best results, charge with two or more
condenser fans operating on each refrigerant circuit.
The AGZ units have a condenser coil design with approximately 15% of the coil tubes
located in a subcooler section of the coil to achieve liquid cooling to within 5°F (3°C)
of the outdoor air temperature when all condenser fans are operating. This is equal to
15°F to 20°F (8.3°C to 11.1°C) subcooling below the saturated condensing temperature
when the pressure is read at the liquid valve between the condenser coil and the liquid
line filter-drier. Once the subcooler is filled, extra charge will not lower the liquid
temperature and does not help system capacity or efficiency.
One of the following three scenarios will be experienced with an undercharged
unit:
1. If the unit is slightly undercharged, the unit will show bubbles in the sight glass.
Recharge the unit as described in the charging procedure below.
2. If the unit is moderately undercharged, it will normally trip on freeze protection.
Recharge the unit as described in the charging procedure below. However,
freezestat trips can also be an indication of low flow or poor heat transfer due to
tube fouling. Anti-freeze solutions can also cause freezestat trips.
3. If the unit is severely undercharged, the unit will trip due to lack of liquid flow to
the expansion valve. In this case either remove the remaining charge by means of a
proper reclamation system and recharge the unit with the proper amount of
refrigerant as stamped on the unit nameplate, or add refrigerant through the suction
valve on the compressor. If the unit is severely undercharged, the unit can nuisance
trip during this charging procedure. If this happens, operate the unit at minimum
load, adding charge until the sight glass is clear. Once the unit has enough charge
so that it does not trip out, continue with step 2 of the charging procedure below.
