When writing to McQuay for service or replacement parts, refer to the model number of the unit as stamped on the serial plate, attached to the unit. If there is an in-warranty failure, state the date of installation of the unit and the date of failure along with an explanation of the malfunctions and the description of the replacement parts required.
General This forced draft gas burner is specifically designed for use with the furnace on McQuay applied rooftop heating and air conditioning units which are for outdoor installation only. Each model size has unique burner head components to tailor the shape of the flame to each particular stainless steel combustion chamber, to match the capacity requirement, and to offer a 20 to 1 turndown ratio.
Use inner hinge screws on top hinged door (see Figure 2). Side hinged doors have holes for mounting (see Figure 5). Models 020 and 025 have a different style wind deflector. It mounts on the door and has a top opening flush with the roof of the unit (see Figure 14). Page 4 / IM 685...
√ Electrical The McQuay burner receives its electrical power from the main unit control panel. No additional power wiring must be routed to the burner. The sequencing of the burner is also controlled through this panel and therefore is factory wired. No additional wiring will be required. Note that models 150 through 200 furnaces require reassembly of some electrical connections as the burner is removed for shipment.
A = Shutoff Cock. ball valve B = Union – Furnished. C = Gas Pipe – Routed in through front. D = Gas Pipe – Routed in through curb. E = Factory Piped Gas Trains. IM 685 / Page 7...
At installation the burner must be re-mounted, the tagged electrical connections re-attached, and the vestibule re-assembled and mounted as shown in Figure 5. These items are packed in a crate and shipped as a separate item. Figure 5. Page 8 / IM 685...
Only qualified personnel should perform the start-up and service of this equipment. It is highly recommended that the initial start-up and future service be performed by McQuay certified technicians who are familiar with the hazards of working on live equipment. A representative of the owner or the operator of the equipment should be present during start-up to receive instructions in the operation, care and adjustment of the unit.
Table 5, Column 6. Any appreciable deviation from these values would indicate a burner air problem that should be found before attempting to fire the burner. These problems could include linkages disturbed during shipment, etc. Page 10 / IM 685...
After the gas burner has been successfully started up, checked out and is operating correctly, readings should be taken and recorded for future reference (see Table 6). If problems develop in the future, variations in these readings will indicate what has changed and where to start looking for problems. IM 685 / Page 11...
(LP5) and the optional manual reset high gas pressure switch (HP5), terminal 6 on the flame safeguard (FSG) is powered. The flame safeguard will go through a 10 second initiation period before the prepurge period will begin. Page 12 / IM 685...
If the unit overheats, the combination fan–high limit control (FLC) will cycle the burner limiting furnace temperature to the limit control set point. Figure 6b. Typical Piping Schematic IM 685 / Page 13...
Ignition Trial: The "start" combination gas control and the ignition transformer are powered for 10 seconds following the prepurge. Flame must be proven at the end of that 10 second period or safety shutdown will occur. Page 14 / IM 685...
"Sequence of Operation" to get an overview. Gun Assembly The McQuay gas burner gun assembly is easily removable and includes the ignition electrode assembly, the flame rod assembly, and a "Base Air" fitting with orifice. The positioning of this assembly is not considered field adjustable.
If burner airflow is in question, measure the static pressure at Ports (4) and (5), Figure 16, and compare those readings with Columns 6 and 8 in Table 5. A significant difference should be checked out. IM 685 / Page 17...
Return the actuator to the minimum rate position. The adjustable plate (2), Figure 10a is positioned to provide an opening per dimension "F". Figure 10. Air and Gas Control Linkage Figure 10a. Figure 10b. Page 18 / IM 685...
Clockwise rotation of the pressure adjusting screw on the combination gas controls will increase the pressure set point, and counter-clockwise rotation will reduce the pressure set point (see Figure 11). Figure 11. Combination Gas Controls IM 685 / Page 19...
After making this type of adjustment it is necessary to recheck the maximum firing rate manifold pressure and perhaps readjust it, making very small but equal adjuster movements on each valve. Page 20 / IM 685...
3. Clean each tube with a 2 ⁄ " round flue brush. 4. Remove the brushings and if required clean the combustion chamber and header through the rear inspection door port. IM 685 / Page 21...
During the time the furnace is on and the supply fan is off the leakage would be out off the furnace and then when the supply fan came on it would blow those products of combustion into the supply duct. Page 22 / IM 685...
2. The burner is mounted on and supported by the heat exchanger studs with four nuts. When removing the heat exchanger, the burner must either be removed or blocked in place. Remove the four burner mounting nuts and the two exchanger bolts located 2" above the upper burner mounting nuts. IM 685 / Page 23...
Instead, the condensate is to run down the drip shield and drip off its bottom edge, away from the rear casing door. Figure 15. Rear cleanout port (models 032 thru 200) Page 24 / IM 685...
Re-oil each bearing with 150 drops (approximately 1 teaspoon) SAE-20 oil. 5. If the burner is to be out of service for the summer, turn off the burner control switch and close the manual gas cocks. IM 685 / Page 25...
