  • Page 6: Vibration Isolators

    Vibration Isolators Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration transmission is a consideration. The unit should be initially placed on shims or blocks at the listed free height. When all piping, wiring, flushing, charging, etc. is completed, the springs are adjusted upward to loosen the blocks or shims that are then removed.

    Chilled Water System Water Piping Local authorities can supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes required for proper installation. Install piping with minimum bends and changes in elevation to minimize pressure drop. Consider the following when installing water piping: 1.

Figure 5, Flow Switch Installation A flow switch is available from McQuay (part number 017503300). It is a “paddle” type switch and adaptable to pipe sizes down to 1 1/4” (32mm) nominal. Certain minimum flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in Table 2.

    condition exists. Freeze protect any flow switch that is installed outdoors. Follow installation instructions provided with the flow switch. Calibrate the flow switch to open at one-half of nominal flow rate. NOTE: Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.
  • Page 10: Glycol Solutions

    Glycol Solutions The use of glycol antifreeze solutions will decrease unit capacity and increase the pressure drop through the cooler. See Product Manual Catalog ACZAGZB1 for specific ratings and correction factors. CAUTION Do not use automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade glycols must be used. Automotive antifreeze contains inhibitors that will cause plating on the copper tubes within the chiller evaporator.

  • Page 12: R-407C Units

    R-407C Units AGZ chillers are available with R-407C refrigerant as non-ARI certified units. R-407C is a zeotropic blend of three compounds, and as such exhibits the characteristic of glide. It does not behave as one substance like R-22 does. Glide is the difference (in degrees F) between the beginning and end phase-change process in either the evaporator or condenser.

Because the refrigerant leaving the cylinder must be a liquid, exercise care to avoid damage to the compressor.

    System Maintenance General On initial start-up and periodically during operation, it will be necessary to perform certain routine service checks. Among these are taking electric leg readings. Some readings are readily available on the MicroTech II controller’s display. Lubrication No routine lubrication is required on the AGZ units. The fan motor bearings are of the permanently lubricated type and require no lubrication.

  • Page 40 Every 12 seconds, the current LWT is subtracted from the value 12 seconds back. This value is added to a buffer containing values calculated at the last five intervals. The final result is a slope value that is an average over the past 60 seconds. Pulldown Rate The slope value calculated above will be a negative value as the water temperature is dropping.
  • Page 41: Unit Enable

    Pumpdown Pressure The pressure to which a circuit will pumpdown is based on the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload setpoint. The equation is as follows: Pumpdown pressure = Low evap pressure unload – 15 psi , with the calculated value limited to a minimum of 10 psi. Unit Enable Enabling and disabling the chiller is controlled by the Unit Enable Setpoint with options of OFF and ON.
  • Page 42: Power Up Start Delay

    Unit Test Mode The unit test mode allows manual testing of controller outputs. Entering this mode requires the following conditions. • Unit Switch = OFF • Manager password active. • Available Unit Mode setpoint = TEST A test menu can then be selected to allow activation of the outputs. It is possible to switch each digital output ON or OFF and set the analog outputs to any value.

    If the evaporator pressure drops below the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload setpoint, the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload event is triggered. This can only occur when both compressors are running. When triggered, one compressor is shut off. These events are logged to an event log when they occur. Both remain active until the evaporator pressure rises 5 psi above the hold setpoint or both compressors are off.

  • Page 62: Service

    Service WARNING Disconnect and tag out all power sources to the unit before doing any service inside the unit. Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury or death. CAUTION Service on this equipment is to be performed by qualified service personnel with special regard to regulations concerning release of refrigerant to the atmosphere.
  • Page 63: Optional Controls

    Optional Controls SpeedTrol Head Pressure Control The SpeedTrol method of head pressure control operates in conjunction with FanTrol by modulating the motor speed on system #1 fan in response to condenser pressure. By reducing the speed of the last fan as the condensing pressure falls, the unit can operate to 0°F (-18°C) ambient air temperature.
  • Page 64 WARNING The hot gas line may become hot enough to cause injury in a very short time. Avoid contact during valve checkout. On installations where the condensing unit is remote from the evaporator, it is recommended that the hot gas bypass valve be mounted near the condensing unit to minimize the amount of refrigerant that will condense in the hot gas line during periods when hot gas bypass is not required.
  • Page 65 The valve is adjusted using the adjusting screw show in the drawing. The range is 0 to 100 psi with about 16 psi change for one turn of the screw. Turning clockwise will increase the valve setting. The load must be varied to properly set these valves. The load should be decreased so that the suction pressure decreases.
