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 AirCooled condensers with integral subcooler sections, two tandem scroll compressors, 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 double
diaphragm hydraulic element thermal expansion valves. Other features include compressor crankcase
heaters, an evaporator heater for chilled water freeze protection, limited pumpdown during “on” or
“off” periods, compressor lead-lag switch to alternate the compressor starting sequence, and
sequenced starting of compressors.
The electrical control center includes all safety and operating controls necessary for dependable
automatic operation. Condenser fan motors are fused in all three phases and started by their own
three-pole contactors. Compressors are not fused but may be protected by optional circuit breakers.
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 unit leaves the factory.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are available in the Physical Data tables beginning
on page 13.

Installation
Note: Installation is to be performed by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes
and regulations.
WARNING
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential hazard. 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 holes are provided in the base of the unit. Arrange
spreader bars and cables to prevent damage to the condenser coils or cabinet (see Figure 2).

Location
Unit Placement
AGZ units are for outdoor applications and can be mounted on a roof or ground level. Set units on a
solid and level foundation. For roof mounted applications, install the unit on a steel channel or I-beam
frame to support the unit above the roof. For ground level applications, install the unit on a
substantial base that will not settle. A one piece concrete slab with footings extended below the frost
line is recommended. Be sure the foundation is level (within 1/2” [13 mm] over its length and width).
The foundation must support the operating weights listed in the Physical Data tables beginning on
page 13.
On ground level applications protect fins against vandalism using the optional coil guards or by
erecting a screen fence. The fence must allow free flow of air to the condenser coil for proper unit
operation.
Clearances
The flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not be limited. Restricting air flow or allowing air
recirculation will result in a decrease in unit performance and efficiency. There must be no obstruction
above the unit that would deflect discharge air downward where it could be recirculated back to the
inlet of the condenser coil. The condenser fans are propeller type and will not operate with ductwork
on the fan outlet.
Install the unit with enough side clearance for air entrance to the coil and for servicing. Provide
service access to the evaporator, compressors, electrical control panel and piping components as
shown in Figure 3.
Do not allow debris to accumulate near the unit. Air movement may draw debris into the condenser
coil causing air starvation. Give special consideration to low ambient operation where snow can
accumulate. Keep condenser coils and fan discharge free of snow or other obstructions to permit
adequate airflow.
Sound Isolation
The ultra-low sound level of the AGZ chiller is suitable for most applications. When additional sound
reduction is necessary, locate the unit away from sound sensitive areas. Avoid locations beneath
windows or between structures where normal operating sounds may be objectionable. Reduce
structurally transmitted sound by isolating water lines, electrical conduit and the unit itself. Use wall
sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers to reduce transmission of water or pump noise into
occupied spaces. Use flexible electrical conduit to isolate sound transmission through electrical
conduit. Spring isolators are effective in reducing the low amplitude sound generated by scroll
compressors and for unit isolation in sound sensitive areas.
Service Access
Each end of the unit must be accessible after installation for periodic service. Compressors, filterdriers, and manual liquid line shutoff valves are accessible. The high pressure control is located in the
control panel when using the Global UNT controller, and on the compressor when using the
MicroTech controller. Low pressure, and motor protector controls are on the compressor. Most other
operational, safety and starting controls are located in the unit control box.
The condenser fan and motors can be removed from the top of the unit.

Vibration Isolators
Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof mounted installations or wherever vibration
transmission is a consideration.
Table 1 and Table 2 list isolator point loads for all unit sizes. Figure 4 shows isolator locations. See
Dimensional Data for detailed dimensions required to secure each isolator to the mounting surface.
The spring flex isolators are white type CP2-32, McQuay part number 047792932. A total of four per
unit is required.
Figure 4, Isolator LocationsSpring Iso lator Dimensions
Table 1 , Isolator Loads At Each Mounting Location With Aluminum Fins
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. Consider the
following when installing water piping:
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.
3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Install drains at the lowest
points in the system.
4. A means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (expansion tank or regulating valve).
5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit to aid in unit servicing.
6. A strainer or other means of removing foreign matter from the water before it enters the pump.
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. Place a strainer in the water line just before the inlet of the evaporator. This will help prevent
foreign material from entering and decreasing the performance of the evaporator.
CAUTION
If separate disconnect is used for the 115V supply to the evaporator heating cable, mark the
disconnect clearly to ensure disconnect is not accidentally shut off during cold seasons.
8. The shell-and-tube evaporator has a thermostat and heating cable to prevent freeze-up down to 20°F (-29°C). It is suggested that the heating cable be wired to a separate 110V 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 on a previously existing piping system, 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 15 minutes for normal variable cooling loads. Turnover rate
for process cooling or a constant load, should not be less than 6 minutes.
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. Reset the freezestat and low leaving water alarm
temperatures. The freezestat is factory set as follows:
• UNT Control; Low Water Temp=38°F, Low Press=54psig
• MicroTech Control; Low Water Remp=36°F, Low Press=54psig
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.
12. Perform a preliminary leak check before insulating the piping and filling the system.
13. Piping insulation should include a vapor barrier to prevent condensation and possible damage to
the building structure.

Figure 5, Typical Field Evaporator Water Piping
Flow Switch
Mount a water flow switch in either the entering or leaving water line to shut down the unit when
water flow is interrupted. A flow switch is a safety control and should never be used to cycle a unit.
A flow switch is available from McQuay (part number 017503300). It is a “paddle” type switch and
adaptable to any pipe size from 3” (76mm) to 8” (203mm) nominal. Certain minimum flow rates are
required to close the switch and are listed in Table 3. Installation should be as shown in Figure 6.
Connect the normally open contacts of the flow switch in the unit control center at terminals 5 and 6.
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.
NOTE: Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.
Note: The procedure
does not specify the
type of glycol. Use
the derate factors
found in Table 4 for
corrections when
using ethylene glycol
and those in Table 5
for propylene glycol.
Water Connections
Bring water piping to the evaporator through the side between the vertical supports. Provide taps for
the connection of pressure gauges and thermometers in the inlet and outlet lines.
Glycol Solutions
The use of a glycol/water mixture in the CDE evaporator to prevent freezing will reduce system
capacity and efficiency and 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 5.
2. Flow – Multiply the water evaporator flow by the Flow correction factor from Table 5 determine
the increased evaporator flow due to glycol.
If the flow is unknown, it can be calculated from the following equation:
)(24
(gpm) Flow GlycolFactorCorrectionFlow
For Metric Applications – Use the following equation for metric applications:
(l/s) Flow Glycol
3. Pressure drop -- Multiply the water pressure drop from Figure 7 by Pressure Drop correction
factor from Table 4 or Table 5 to obtain corrected glycol pressure drop. 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 4 or Table 5.
Test coolant with a clean, accurate glycol solution hydrometer (similar to that found in service
stations) to determine the freezing point. Obtain percent glycol from the freezing point table below. It
is recommended that a minimum of 25% solution by weight be used for protection against corrosion.

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.
Evaporator flow rate must fall between the minimum and maximum values shown in the evaporator
pressure drop table on Figure 7.
Measure the chilled water pressure drop through the evaporator at factory installed pressure taps. It
is important not to include the effect of valves or strainers in these readings.
Varying chilled water flow through the evaporator while the compressor(s) are operating is not
recommended.

Electrical Data
Field Wiring
Internal power wiring to the compressors for single and multiple point option are different.
Field wiring must be installed according to unit wiring diagram.
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances. Warranty is void if wiring is not in
accordance with specifications. Copper wire is required for all power lead terminations at the unit.
Aluminum or copper can be used for all other wiring.
AGZ units have internal power wiring for single point power connection. A single large power
terminal block is provided and wiring within the unit is sized in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. A single field supplied fused disconnect is required. An optional factory mounted transformer
may be installed. If the evaporator heater is on a separate disconnect switch from the main unit power
supply, the unit may be shut down without defeating the freeze protection provided by the cooler
heater.
Table 9, AGZ 035A - 065A, 60 Hz, Single Point Power Electrical Data
1. Unit wire size ampacity (MCA) is equal to 125% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of RLA
of all other loads in the circuit including the control transformer.
2. If the control transformer option is furnished, no separate 115V power is required.
3. If a separate 115V power supply is used for the control circuit, then the wire sizing amps is 10 amps for all
unit sizes.
4. Recommended power lead wire sizes for 3 conductors per conduit are based on 100% conductor ampacity
in accordance with NEC. Voltage drop has not been included. Therefore, it is recommended that power
leads be kept short. All terminal block connections must be made with copper (type THW) wire.
5. “Recommended Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 150% to 175% of the largest compressor RLA,
plus 100% of all other loads in the circuit.
6. “Maximum Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 225% of the largest compressor RLA, plus 100% of
all other loads in the circuit.
7. The recommended power lead wire sizes are based on an ambient temperature of 86°F. Ampacity
correction factors must be applied for other ambient temperatures. Refer to the National Electrical Code
Handbook.
8. The MCA may vary slightly depending on fan motor options such as SpeedTrol, TEFC.
Power Limitations:
Volts within ± 10 percent of nameplate rating. Phase unbalance maximum of 3 percent.
Notes for “Compressor and Condenser Fan Amp Draw”:
1. Compressor RLA values are for wiring sizing purposes only but do not reflect normal operating current
draw at rated capacity. If unit is equipped with SpeedTrol condenser fan motors, the first motor on each
refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1hp motor, with a FLA of 2.8 amps at 460 volts, 5.6 amps at 208, 230,
380, and 575 volts.
2. Compressor LRA for reduced inrush start are for the first winding only. If the unit is equipped with
SpeedTrol motors, the first motor is a single phase, 1 hp motor, with a LRA of 7.3 amps at 460 volts, 14.5
amps at 208, 230, 380, and 575 volts.
Notes for “Field Wiring Data”
1. Requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit. This power must be fused.
2. All field wiring to unit power block or optional non-fused disconnect switch must be copper.
3. All field wire size values given in table apply to 75°C rated wire per NEC.

Startup
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 Global UNT Controller section to become familiar with its operation before starting 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.
1. Verify chilled water flow.
2. Verify remote start / stop or time clock has requested the chiller to start.
3. Set the chilled water setpoint to required temperature. (The system water temperature must be
greater than the total of the leaving water temperature setpoint plus 1/2 the control band before
the Global UNT controller will stage on cooling.)
4. Set the control band to 4°F as a starting point.
5. Put both circuit switches to the AUTO position.
6. Put switch S1 to AUTO position.
7. There will be a delay of 2 minutes after closing S1. The time delay is due to the compressor
inherent motor protection. This may allow more than one compressor to start after this time
period. This should only occur on initial start-up or when power to the chiller has been turned off
and back on. The panel Alarm Light will turn off.
8. After the chiller has been operating for a period of time and has become stable, check the
following:
§ Compressor oil level. (Some Scroll compressors do not have oil sight glasses)
§ Refrigerant sight glass for flashing.
§ Rotation of condenser fans.
9. Complete the “Compressorized Equipment Warranty Form”.
Shutdown
Temporary
1. Put both circuit switches to Pumpdown and Stop.
2. After compressors have stopped, put System Switch (S1) to Emergency Stop.
3. Turn off chilled water pump. Chilled water pump to operate while compressors are pumping
down.
To start the chiller after a temporary shutdown follow the start up instructions.
