This manual provides additional information on optional pump packages, factory mounted on McQuay
Model AGZ-C scroll-compressor chillers. Follow the directions in the chiller installation and
operating manuals, IMM AGZC and OM AGZC, for installation and operation of the entire unit.
Inspection
When the equipment is received, carefully check all items against the bill of lading to check for a
complete shipment. Check all units for damage upon arrival. All shipping damage must be reported
to the carrier and a claim must be filed with the carrier. Check the unit’s serial plate before unloading
the unit to be sure that it agrees with the power supply available. Physical damage to unit after
acceptance is not the responsibility of McQuay International.
Installation
Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar with
local codes and regulations, and experienced with this type of equipment.
Follow the directions in IMM AGZC for installation of the unit. The addition of the optional pump
package does not change installation procedure. However, vibration isolator selection and location,
unit weights, dimensions and electrical data will differ from units without a pump package.
Field Water Piping
Due to the variety of piping practices, follow the recommendations of local authorities. They can
supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes required for a proper installation.
Design the piping with a minimum number of bends and changes in elevation to keep system cost
down and performance up. It should contain:
1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
2. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during unit servicing. The pump
package has suction and discharge service shutoff valves for each pump.
3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system and drains at the low
parts in the system. The evaporator should not be the highest point in the piping system.
4. Some means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (i.e., expansion tank or
regulating valve).
5. Water temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit to aid in unit servicing.
6. A strainer to is provided in the package to remove foreign matter from the water before it
enters the pump and chiller. The use of a strainer will prolong pump life and help maintain
high system performance levels. The strainer must be cleaned after system flushing is
completed.
7. Any water piping to the unit must be protected to prevent freeze-up if below freezing
temperatures are expected.
8. If the unit is used with a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, flush
the system thoroughly prior to unit installation.
Make a preliminary leak check prior to insulating the water piping and filling the system.
Include a vapor barrier with the piping insulation to prevent moisture condensation and
possible damage to the building structure. It is important to have the vapor barrier on the
outside of the insulation to prevent condensation within the insulation on the cold surface of
the pipe.

System Water Volume
It is important to have adequate water volume in the system to provide an opportunity for
the chiller to sense a load change, adjust to the change and stabilize. As the expected load
change becomes more rapid, a greater water volume is needed. The system water volume is
the total amount of water in the evaporator, air handling products and associated piping. If
the water volume is too low, operational problems can occur including rapid compressor
cycling, rapid loading and unloading of compressors, erratic refrigerant flow in the chiller,
improper motor cooling, shortened equipment life and other undesirable occurrences.
For normal comfort cooling applications where the cooling load changes relatively slowly,
we recommend a minimum system volume in gallons of 2 to 3 times the flow rate (gpm).
For example, if the design chiller flow rate is 350 gpm, we recommend a minimum system
volume of 700 to 1050 gallons.
Since there are many other factors that can influence performance, systems can successfully
operate below these suggestions. However, as the water volume decreases below these
suggestions, the possibility of problems increases.
Freeze Protection
In installations where the unit is subject to sub-freezing temperatures, some method of
preventing pipe and component freezing and subsequent damage must be employed. The
pump package has an outdoor air thermostat (TH1) that will start the pump at 40F to help
prevent freeze up. It is recommended that one or more of the following strategies also be
employed:
If chilled water circulation is not possible or desired, one or more of the following
procedures must be used.
1. Drain the outdoor portion of the system and cap with a nitrogen charge.
2. Heat trace all outdoor components.
3. Add sufficient anti-freeze to prevent freezing.
Adding of a concentration of a glycol anti-freeze with a freeze point 10 degrees F below the
lowest expected outdoor temperature will result in decreased capacity and increased
pressure drop in the chiller. AGZ units are selected to provide the required capacity with the
fluid specified, water or antifreeze.
Note: Do not use automotive grade antifreezes as it contains inhibitors harmful to chilled
water systems. Use only glycols designated for use in building cooling systems.
Weights & Vibration Isolators
Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever
vibration transmission is a consideration. If the pump package is installed adjacent to a
chiller that is mounted on springs, it is essential that flexible piping connections be
employed between the two units.
Initially install the unit on shims or blocks at the "free height" of the isolator. When all
piping, wiring, flushing, charging, etc. is complete, adjust the springs upward to load them
and to provide clearance to free the blocks, which are then removed.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible pipe connections and at least three feet of
conduit flex tie-ins. Support piping and conduit independently from the unit to not stress
connections.
See pages 18 through 22 for the for mounting hole locations.

Spring Isolators
Table 4, Spring Isolator Locations, Aluminum Fin
Mounting hole dimensions are on the unit dimension drawings beginning on page 18. The vibration isolators
are different for AGZ units with pump packages than those without. All isolators have two springs per housing
(C2PE).
Mounting hole dimensions are on the unit dimension drawings beginning on page 18. The vibration isolators
are different for AGZ units with pump packages than those without. All isolators have two springs per housing
(C2PE).
There are three possible pump control arrangements:
1. Single Pump/Single Control; the standard single digital output from the chiller’s
microprocessor control starts and stops the pump.
2. Dual Pump/Single Control; the standard single digital output controls the pumps. Pump
operation is automatically selected by an alternating relay arrangement. The panel has a
selector switch allowing selection of pump A, pump B, or automatic (using relays).
3. Dual Pump/Dual Control; an optional second chiller digital output must be supplied and
operation of the pumps is controlled by settings in the microprocessor as follows:
The pump output used is determined by the Evap Pump Control setpoint. This setting
allows the following configurations:
#A only – Pump A will always be used
#B only – Pump B will always be used
Auto – The primary pump is the one with the least run hours, the other is used as a
backup
#A Primary – Pump A is used normally, with pump B as a backup
#B Primary – Pump B is used normally, with pump A as a backup
Primary/Standby Pump Staging
The pump designated as primary will start first. If the evaporator state is START for a
time greater than the RECIRCULATE TIMEOUT setpoint and there is no flow, then the
primary pump will shut off and the standby pump will start. When the evaporator is in
the RUN state, if flow is lost for more than half of the FLOW PROOF setpoint value,
the primary pump will shut off and the standby pump will start. Once the standby pump
is started, the FLOW LOSS alarm logic will apply if flow cannot be established in the
evaporator START state, or if flow is lost in the EVAPORATOR RUN state.
Auto Control
If AUTO pump control is selected, the primary/standby logic above is still used. When
the evaporator is not in the RUN state, the run hours of the pumps will be compared.
The pump with the least hours will be designated as the primary at this time.
Freeze Protection
In installations where the unit is subject to sub-freezing temperatures, some method of
preventing pipe and component freezing and subsequent damage must be employed.
The pump package has an outdoor air thermostat (TH1) that will start the pump at 40F
to help prevent freeze up.
If the chiller is valved out of the building circulation system during freezing
temperatures, a valved bypass must be installed between the supply and return lines, on
the pump side of the chiller isolation valves.
If operation of the chilled water pump during freezing weather is not desired, one or
more of the following strategies must be employed:
4. Drain the portion of the system subject to freezing and cap with a nitrogen charge.
If the system will be drained, the pump(s) and the interconnecting piping also have
to be drained. A drain plug is provided at the very bottom of the pump housing and
at the bottom of the evaporator barrel or package piping. Open the appropriate
vents to assist in draining. A nitrogen head is recommended to decrease corrosion
in the drained portion of the piping
8 IOMM AGZC Pump Pkg
5. Heat trace all outdoor piping and components. If the system is to have field-installed
heat tracing, the factory pipe insulation will have to be removed and replaced after the
installation of the tracing.
6. Add sufficient anti-freeze to prevent freezing. If an anti-freeze solution is to be used,
additional anti-freeze must be added to protect the water in the pump package.
Adding of a concentration of a glycol anti-freeze with a freeze point 10 degrees F below
the lowest expected outdoor temperature will result in decreased capacity and increased
pressure drop in the chiller. AGZ units can be selected to provide the required capacity
with the fluid specified, water or antifreeze.
Note: Do not use automotive grade antifreezes as they contain inhibitors harmful to
chilled water systems. Use only glycols specifically designated for use in building
cooling systems.
