Location
Unit Placement
AGR-AM and ACR 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.
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 levels of the AGR outdoor unit and the ACR condensing unit 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 reciprocating 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.

Do not block the flow of air to and from the condenser coil. Restricting airflow or allowing air recirculation will result in a decrease in unit performance and efficiency because discharge pressures are increased. 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.

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. 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) that should be used if located in a sub-freezing location. It is suggested that the heating cable be wired to a separate 110V supply circuit. All water piping to the unit must also be protected to prevent freezing.
8 IOMM ACR/AGR-1
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 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. The unit control circuit is provided with a remote start/stop feature.
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 5. 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. Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.

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 6
or Table 7.
2. Flow – Multiply the water evaporator flow by the Flow correction factor from Table 6 or Table 7 to
determine the increased evaporator flow due to glycol If the flow is unknown, it can be calculated from the following equation:
(gpm) Flow Glycol ×

=
For Metric Applications – Use the following equation for metric applications:

3. Pressure drop -- Multiply the water pressure drop from Figure 7 by Pressure Drop correction
factor from Table 6 or Table 7 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 6 or Table 7. 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 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. The type and handling of glycol used must be
consistent with local codes.

Refrigerant Piping
Introduction
Proper refrigerant piping can represent the difference between a reliable, trouble free system and months or years of inefficient, problematic performance.
System concerns related to piping are:
1. Refrigerant pressure drop
2. Solid liquid feed to the expansion valve(s)
3. Continuous oil return The most important and least understood is number 3. “Continuous oil return”. The failure of oil to
return at or close to the rate of displacement from the compressor can result in oil trapping and ultimate compressor failure.
On the other hand, the instantaneous return of a large volume of compressor oil, as a slug, can be equally damaging to a compressor.
All compressors displace some oil during operation. Reciprocating compressors displace more than centrifugals, scroll and McQuay screw compressors since oil is carried into compressor cylinders with suction gas; and oil present on cylinder walls is entrained by that same gas as it is being compressed. The sum of the two is then pumped into the discharge piping.
Also more oil is displaced at start-up of a compressor than occurs during a normal running period. Thus, if a compressor experiences excessive starts because of recycling pumpdown control, the larger quantity of oil pumped out is trapped in the condenser with the refrigerant charge, and may not return regardless of the adequacy of the piping system.
A similar problem to a lesser extent occurs when the equipment is oversized for the available cooling load.
In short, extreme care should be exercised to assure that both piping and controls are suitable for the application such that displaced oil is returned to the compressor moderately. Note, too, that oil loss to the system can be due to a hang up in the evaporator, as well as in the piping.
Suction Lines
McQuay recommends the use of ASHRAE for guidelines in sizing and routing piping with one exception. See the 1998 ASHRAE Handbook Refrigeration Edition, Chapter 2, for tables and guidelines. The single exception is to the piping of direct expansion cooling coils located above the compressors. In all cases, regardless of whether the equipment has pumpdown control or not, a trap in the suction line equal to the height of the coil section is recommended. In its absence, upon a power failure, all of the liquid in the coil will fall by gravity to the compressor below.
Suction line gas velocities may range between 900 and 4000 feet per minute. Consideration should be given to the possibility of objectionable noise in or adjacent to occupied space. Where this is a concern, gas velocities on the low side are recommended.
Routing must also take into account the requirement established in the latest ANSI/ASHRAE 15. To size the suction line, determine:
a. The maximum tons for the circuit b. The actual length in feet c. The equivalent length contributed by elbows, fittings, valves or other refrigerant specialties.
ASHRAE Tables 2-10, 11 & 12 d. If a vertical riser exists including the trap at the coil, determine the minimum tons for the circuit.
IOMM ACR/AGR-1 13
Add b and c above to obtain the total equivalent feet. Use ASHRAE Table 3 (for R22) or Table 4 (for R134a). Suction line selections are based upon the pressure equivalent of a 2ºF loss per 100 equivalent feet.
Select a line size that displays an equal or slightly larger tons then that determined in 1a) above. To determine the actual line loss:
1. Modify the table tons by the value in Note 4 of Table 3 or 4 for the design condensing
temperature.
2. Use the formula in Note 3 to calculate the line loss in terms of the saturation temperature.
3. Convert the saturation temperature loss calculated to a pressure drop equivalent using the (Delta)
listed in the table for the comparable delta temperature.
Caution : Excessive pressure drop is undesirable because
It reduces available compressor capacity.
It increases power consumed from the net tons realized.
It may affect the performance of the evaporator and expansion valve previously selected.
The line loss calculated, expressed in temperature, or PSID pressure drop will be used to establish the temperature required at the evaporator to produce the required cooling, as well as, the suction pressure that the compressor must operate at to deliver the required capacity.
Having selected the suction line size, based upon total equivalent length and maximum tons, verify the line size selected will maintain entrainment of the lubricating oil up any vertical risers at the minimum tons for the circuit. See d above, and ASHRAE Table 2-13.
If the line size selected will not maintain satisfactory oil return in a suction riser, the following options are available:
The vertical length can be sized smaller to accommodate the lower circuit tons at reduced load. Minimum compressor capacity can be increased by eliminating the lowest step of compressor
capacity. Hot gas bypass can be introduced at the distributor to the evaporator, increasing the volume of gas
available in the suction line to entrain the oil. An oil separator may be installed in the discharge line. With reciprocating compressor units only, and only as a last resort, double suction risers can be
utilized. A double suction riser works by providing an oil trap to assure the return of some oil, with refrigerant, up the smaller diameter line. The trap must be as small as possible, there must not be multiple traps, and whenever double risers are used in a suction line, a suction accumulator with a controlled oil return must be installed in the line ahead of the compressor.
Sizing A Double Riser
At maximum circuit tons, the line size should be selected from the table based upon the recommended maximum line loss.
With the minimum tons known, a smaller line size should be selected from ASHRAE Chapter 2, Table 13 or 14 capable of entraining oil at the reduced tons. The smaller sized line should be the one installed to be always active.
The net internal area of this smaller sized line (see Table 13 or 14) should be deducted from the area of the size selected in paragraph 1) immediately above. The remainder represents the area of the other riser. From Table 13 or 14, select a line size with an area equal, or close, to the calculated net area. The combination of these two risers will provide the required performance at full circuit tons. The line selected for the minimum load should always be active; and both lines should enter the overhead horizontal line in a manner to prevent spillage of oil back down the other riser.

Underground Refrigerant Lines
McQuay does not recommend the installation of suction lines underground. If job conditions require that they be located below ground, a suitable sized suction accumulator must be installed ahead of the compressor to interrupt liquid refrigerant slugs at start-up.
Long Vertical Riser Installation
Where job conditions require refrigerant gas lifts of more than 25 feet, McQuay recommends the installation of a short trap half-way up the riser or at not more than 20 feet intervals. These traps are required to capture and hold small quantities of oil during off cycles.
Liquid Lines
Liquid lines are generally sized for 1 to 2 degree F line losses or their equivalent in pressure drop. Actual selection can vary based upon the pressure drop expected from refrigerant specialties such as solenoids, refrigerant driers, valves, etc. piping lifts or risers and the amount of condenser sub-cooling expected.
The principal concern in sizing and routing liquid lines is assurance that liquid is present in the line at start-up of the compressor, and that liquid and not vapor is available at the inlet to the expansion valve during system operation.
Liquid may not be available in a liquid line at start-up if:
1. The solenoid valve is located adjacent to the condenser or condensing unit; remote from the
expansion valve.
2. An excessive length of liquid line is located in a heated ambient and the application permits
migration of the refrigerant to a cold air-cooled condenser.
3. Liquid refrigerant is permitted to gravitate from the liquid line to the condenser because of the
relative location of components.
4. Liquid line solenoid valves should be located adjacent to the expansion valve with possibly only
a sight glass interposing the two.
In the event 2 or 3 above are possible, the application should include a check valve at the condenser end of the liquid line. The check valve should be a low pressure drop valve. The line between the check valve and the solenoid valve can be comparable to a pressure vessel. As the line becomes heated the pressure will increase so the check valve should include a pressure relief device to relieve pressure to the condenser side of the circuit. The relief can be sized for a pressure differential from 80 to 180 psi, but not more than 180 psi, and should be auto-resetting as the pressure is relieved.
CAUTION
The liquid line should not include a check valve unless the line also includes an
automatic resetting pressure relief device.
CAUTION
If the relief device being used is relieving from the line to the condenser side of the
check valve, the maximum desirable pressure differential with R-22 refrigerant
is 180 psi, with 134a, 100 psi.
If liquid lines are short, they may be of smaller diameter than the size indicated in the ASHRAE Refrigerant Handbook, 1998 Edition, Chapter 2, Tables 3 or 4. As indicated above, the designer must size the liquid line to assure that pure liquid will reach the inlet of the expansion valve. If the condenser is sized to produce ten degrees F of subcooling. Each degree represents 3.05 psi with R-22 (or 2.2. psi with R-134a). The liquid line and its refrigerant specialties may have pressure losses
IOMM ACR/AGR-1 15
totaling 10 x 3.05 psi (or 10 x 2.2) and still satisfy the objective of delivering solid liquid to the expansion valve.
In calculating the pressure losses, or gains, note that each foot of rise in a liquid line results in approximately 0.5 psi loss. Thus a 10 foot rise represent 5 pounds per square inch loss in refrigerant pressure, or the equivalent of 1.6ºF subcooling with R-22. Total line losses will include values for line friction, equivalents for valves and elbows and pressure losses from manufacturers’ catalogs for driers, solenoids, sight glasses, etc.
In estimating condenser subcooling, note that saturated condensing pressure should be read, or estimated, at the same point in the system where the liquid refrigerant temperature is obtained. That condensing pressure is not the discharge pressure read at the compressor outlet. Because it is less, the net value of subcooling will be lower than might otherwise be assumed.
Where rises in liquid lines result in a 0.5 psi loss per foot of lift, a drop in the liquid line results in a rise in the refrigerant pressure. A substantial drop in the liquid line can assure the existence of pure liquid at the valve. If it is a substantial increase because of a large drop, the expansion valve selection must be re-checked to confirm that the valve to be used is not radically oversized.
Liquid Lines from Condensers to Receivers
Receivers in a refrigerant system have both liquid and gas contained within the same vessel. In air­cooled condenser applications, the condensing temperature can change rapidly resulting in the requirement for more liquid at a lower temperature and pressure to be introduced into the receiver.
In order for this flow of lower temperature and pressure of liquid refrigerant to enter the receiver, 1) the receiver must be located below the condenser outlet with no restrictions in the line, and 2) the liquid line connecting the condenser and the receiver must be sized for a maximum velocity of 100 fpm. Piping sizes for this are shown in the ASHRAE tables.
Note: If the interconnecting piping described above contains a Seasontrol type head pressure control valve representing a restriction in the liquid line, a separate vent from the top of the receiver to the discharge line entering the condenser is required.

Field Wiring
Power Wiring
Internal power wiring to the compressors for single and multiple point option are
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.
AGR-AM and ACR 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.
AGR-AM remote water chillers and CDE chillers are equipped with a 420W electric heater to provide freeze protection if mounted in locations subject to below freezing temperatures. The heater comes with a receptacle plug that can be used or removed to hard wire to a power supply.
CAUTION
different. Field wiring must be installed according to unit wiring diagram.
Control Wiring
AGR-AM chillers are equipped with either a Johnson Controls UNT control or a McQuay MicroTech microprocessor control mounted in the outdoor unit. The control sensor for capacity control must be mounted in the leaving chilled water line in a thermowell provided in the water chiller nozzle. A sensor well is also located in the entering nozzle for use with some control options. The sensor is wired to the control with 30 ft. of cable. If a longer length is required, it is necessary to field splice the cable.
ACR condensing units are not equipped with a capacity control device and one must be field furnished and installed. Refer to Figure 12. Four or six steps of control are available.
AGR-AM and ACR units connected to water chillers must have a flow switch mounted in the chilled water line and wired to the control panel per the field wiring diagram. It is recommended that ACR units connected to DX air coils have an interlock to prevent compressor operation when there is no air flow.

Electrical Notes
Notes for “Electrical Data Single Point” Power:
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 or HACR breaker size” is 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 (30°C).
Ampacity correction factors must be applied for other ambient temperatures. Refer to the National Electrical Code Handbook.
8. Must be electrically grounded according to national and local electrical codes.
9. MCA may vary slightly due to fan motor options such as SpeedTrol, TEFC.
Power Limitations:
Volts within ± 10 percent of nameplate rating. Maximum 3 percent phase unbalance.
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, and 575 volts.
2. Compressor LRA for reduced inrush start is 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, and 575 volts.
Notes for “Field Wiring Data”
1. Requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit. This power supply must
either be fused or use an HACR type circuit breaker.
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.
