Features and Benefits
ACZ-AGZ, Single Circuit Units
Great values also come in small packages. The ACZ and AGZ units have a single refrigerant circuit with
capacities from 10 to over 34 tons. Customer benefits include high efficiency operation, low sound levels,
efficient and reliable scroll compressor technology, and MicroTech II controls.
High Efficiency Operation
These units operate at high efficiency with IPLVs up to 14.6 EER. Through the use of tandem scroll
compressors and the latest control technology, excellent part load performance occurs. With a single
compressor running, the entire unit’s condenser surface is utilized, lowering condenser pressure and
reducing power input.
Quiet Operation
ACZ and AGZ units have low sound ratings through the use of scroll compressors. These compressors are
housed in a sheet metal enclosure to further reduce the levels. All units have a sound power rating of 90
dBA or less. For additional sound attenuation, optional acoustic blankets are also available. See page
for more information regarding our low sound levels.
Superior Control with MicroTech II
They have the MicroTech II controller providing control strategies expected of much larger units.
Building Automation System Integration
The MicroTech II controller allows for easy BAS integration through our Open Choice feature using
ONMARK, BACnet or Modbus communications. This is another advanced feature typical of larger units.

Design Features
The McQuay air-cooled, scroll compressor units are a product of the McQuay commitment to offer
quiet, reliable, energy efficient equipment. These units incorporate high quality compressors, state-ofthe-art coil design, and innovative packaging.
Construction
Factory assembled and mounted on a heavy-gauge steel channel base. The base rails, supports and cabinetry are
powder-coat painted. The base distributes the unit weight for roof loading. Varied and convenient installation is
possible by virtue of the unit's small footprint.
Compressors
Copeland’s Compliant Scroll tandem compressors are used. These rugged hermetic compressors are
constructed with an integral cast iron frame, cast iron scrolls, three Teflon impregnated bearings, and three oil
filtration devices for each compressor.
Using Copeland's Compliant Scroll tandem compressors provides two steps of capacity modulation. One
compressor can run alone, depending on the load of the system, utilizing the entire unit’s condenser surface,
which results in excellent part-load efficiency. The refrigerant circuit has specially designed oil and gas
equalization lines to control oil migration.
The design also offers radial and axial compliance (no tip seals), a large internal volume for liquid handling, a
removable suction screen, and a rotary dirt trap and oil screen. In addition, the compressor is self-compensating
for wear, handles liquid and debris, and inherently yields the highest efficiency for its class.
This well protected compressor includes a solid-state motor protection module, 4 individual motor-winding
sensors, a patented internal discharge temperature probe, and a patented shutdown feature that prevents reverse
rotation. An internal discharge check valve helps prevent shutdown noise and comes standard with high and
low pressure taps with Schrader valves, a sight glass, an oil level adjustment valve, and an off cycle crankcase
heater.
Units are available in 60 Hertz electrical voltage configurations from 208 to 575 volt operating at 3500 rpm.
Condenser Coils
Condenser coils have internally enhanced seamless copper tubes arranged in a staggered row pattern. The coils
are mechanically expanded into McQuay lanced and rippled aluminum fins with full fin collars. A variety of
optional coil material and coatings are available for corrosive atmospheres. The external condenser coils are
fitted with a protective wire mesh guard as standard equipment.
Condenser Fans and Motors
Multiple direct-drive, dynamically balanced, propeller fans operate in formed venturi openings at low tip
speeds for maximum efficiency and minimum noise and vibration. A heavy-gauge vinyl-coated fan guard
protects each fan.
Each condenser fan motor is heavy-duty, 3-phase, Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) with permanently
lubricated ball bearings and inherent overload protection. SpeedTrol option includes a single-phase motor with
fan speed control on the lead fan.
Evaporator
Stainless steel, brazed plate evaporators are used on the AGZ units. They have counter-flow operation and very
high efficiencies.

Control System
The MicroTech II advanced DDC unit controller surpasses all other microprocessor-based unit control
systems available today on this class of equipment. This powerful, user-friendly control system provides the
flexibility and performance needed for either stand-alone unit operation or the controller can be easily tied
into your building automation system of choice using McQuay’s exclusive Open Choices feature that
allows you to choose from open standard protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and L
communicate easily with the building automation system that best meets your facility requirements. These
optional communications modules are available factory-installed or can be easily field installed.
MicroTech II’s state-of-the-art design will not only permit the unit to run more efficiently, but will also
simplify troubleshooting if a system failure occurs. Every MicroTech II controller is programmed and tested
prior to shipment.
Operator-friendly
The MicroTech II control menu structure is separated into four distinct categories that provide the operator or
service technician with a full description of current unit status, control parameters, and alarms. Security
protection helps prevent unauthorized changing of the setpoints and control parameters.
MicroTech II continuously performs self-diagnostic checks, pressures and protection devices, monitoring
system temperatures, and it will automatically shutdown a compressor, or the entire unit, if a fault occurs. The

cause of the shutdown will be retained in memory and can be easily displayed in English or metric units for
operator review.
The MicroTech II unit controller can also retain and display the time that the fault occurred and the operating
conditions that were present at the time of the fault, an extremely useful feature for troubleshooting. In
addition to displaying alarm diagnostics, the MicroTech II controller also provides the operator with a
warning of pre-alarm conditions. Alarm notification data can also be passed on to your BAS through an
optional communications module.
Staging
On ACZ condensing units, temperature control for the system is provided by the installer through a field
supplied temperature controller. The field-supplied staging signals are provided to the MicroTech II controller
which correspondingly activates and deactivates the scroll compressors. The temperature controller is
required to close normally-open 24 volt contacts on a demand for cooling. These closure signals are field
wired to the terminal strip (TB2) in the condensing unit. Refer to the typical field wiring diagram on page
for details. Two control stages are required:
Lead/lag is automatic and switched based on operating hours and compressor starts.
40
Equipment Protection
The unit is protected in two ways: (1) by alarms that shut the unit down and require manual reset to restore
unit operation and (2) by limit alarms that reduce unit operation in response to some out-of-limit condition.
Shut down alarms can activate a remote alarm signal. Limit alarms activate a signal on the controller.

Optional Remote Interface Panel
The ACZ/AGZ units can be individually equipped with a
remote user interface. It provides convenient access to
unit diagnostics and control adjustments, remote from
the condensing unit panel. A separate panel is required
for each chiller on a job site.
Each remote user interface is similar to its unit-mounted
counterpart and offers the same functionality, including:
Touch-sensitive keypad with a 4 line by 20-character
display format
Digital display of messages in English language
All operating conditions, system alarms, control
parameters
Features
Can be wired up to 1,640 feet (500 meters) from the
unit for flexibility in placing each remote user interface
within your building.
The main control is isolated from the remote user interface
wiring so that wiring problems are less likely to damage the
unit user interface.
Can be placed on a desk or surface or recessed wall mounted.
Benefits
Allows you to access the user interface for each unit from
one location, inside the building.
Users need to learn one format because the remote user
interface is identical to the unit-mounted version.
No additional field commissioning is required for the remote user interface.
Can be retrofit after unit installation.
All the BAS communications options are still available with the remote interface panel.

ACZ Condensing Unit Performance
Selection Procedure
ACZ condensing units are selected in conjunction with some kind of evaporator equipment. The ACZ ratings
are based on saturated suction temperature at the compressor inlet and on ambient air dry-bulb temperature. For
a system selection, the ACZ condensing unit is usually selected first, and then the line loss added to the
condensing unit saturated suction temperature to determine the saturated evaporating temperature. This
temperature is then used for the selection of the evaporator, whether it is a DX cooling coil or water heat
exchanger. The pipe size can be determined from procedures and data in the Refrigerant Piping Section. For
selection purposes, the tubing size is based on a pressure equivalent of a two-degree F line loss (equal to about
3-psi pressure drop).
The correction for altitude found in
the correction factor to ascertain the necessary unit capacity in the Capacity Tables.
R-407C NOTE: R-407C is an azeotrope and as such has a glide characteristic. An evaporator mid-point
temperature will be about four-degrees higher than the dew point temperature. For example, an R-22 evaporator
selected at a 40F evaporating temperature would be comparable to a 44F temperature with R-407C.

1. To select the correct size unit, correct for altitude by dividing the required capacity by the correction
Table 2 on the following page, an ACZ 020 at the given conditions will produce 202.5 Mbh with a
unit power input of 20.0 kW and a unit EER of 10.1.
3. Correct for altitude:
Capacity: 202.5 Mbh x 0.986 = 200 Mbh
Power: 20.0 kW x 1.009 = 20.2 kW
EER: 10.1 EER x 0.986/1.009 = 9.9 EER
4. An evaporator would be selected at 42F saturated evaporating temperature.

This puts it between 1 5/8” and 2 1/8” line size.
Check
Table 11 and find that 1 5/8” is maximum size for oil carry.
This means that the 1 5/8 riser will be satisfactory, but with a slightly higher pressure drop. The capacity correction factor from
Table 14 is between 0.97 and 0.98. Use 0.975.
4. The corrected capacity of the AGZ is: 21.5 tons x 0.998{altitude} x 0.98{piping} = 21.0 tons This satisfies
the 20 ton requirement.
5. Correct the unit power required: 29.0 kW x 1.009{altitude} = 29.3 kW.
6. Calculate the unit EER based on the correct capacity and power:
EER = (21 tons x 12,000)/ (29.3 kW x 1,000) = 8.6

Application Adjustment Factors
Ethylene and Propylene Glycol Factors
AGZ units can operate with a leaving chilled fluid temperature range of 20°F (-6°C) to 60°F (10°C). A
glycol solution is required when leaving chilled fluid temperature is below 40°F (4.6°C). The use of glycol
will reduce the performance of the unit depending on concentration.
Altitude Correction Factors
Performance tables are based at sea level. Elevations other than sea level affect the performance of the unit.
The decreased air density will reduce condenser capacity consequently reducing the unit's performance. For
performance at elevations other than sea level refer to
Evaporator Temperature Drop Factors
Performance tables are based on a 10°F (5°C) temperature drop through the evaporator. Adjustment factors
for applications with temperature ranges from 6°F to 16°F (3.3°C to 8.9°C) are in Table 3. Temperature
drops outside this 6°F to 16°F (3.3°C to 8.9°C) range can affect the control system's capability to maintain
acceptable control and are not recommended.
The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the evaporator in a non-operating mode is
100°F (37.8°C).
Performance tables are based on water with a fouling factor of
As fouling is increased, performance decreases. For performance at other than 0.0001 (0.0176) fouling factor
refer to
Table 9. Foreign matter in the chilled water system will adversely affect the heat transfer capability of
the evaporator and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. Maintain proper water
treatment to provide optimum unit operation.

Sound levels can be as important as unit cost and efficiency, and must be addressed before the start of any
development program. Efforts by McQuay Design Engineers to design units that are sensitive to the sound
requirements of the market, combined with inherently quiet scroll compressors, have paid off.
Background Information
Sound is a vibration in an elastic medium and is essentially a pressure and particle displacement phenomena.
A vibrating body produces compression waves, and as the waves are emitted from the vibrating body,
molecules are ultimately compressed. These values are transmitted through gas, liquid, solidanything
which is elastic or viscous.
The sound data provided in this section is presented with both sound pressure and sound power levels. Sound
power is the total sound energy radiated by a source per unit of time integrated over the surface through
which the sound is radiated. Sound power is a calculated quantity and cannot be measured directly like sound
pressure. Sound power is not dependent on the surrounding environment or distance from the source, as is
sound pressure.
Sound pressure varies with the distance from the source and is dependent on its surroundings. For example, a
brick wall located 10 feet from a unit will affect the sound pressure measurements differently than a brick
wall at 20 feet. Sound pressure is measured in decibels (dB), which is a dimensionless ratio (on a logarithmic
scale) between measured sound pressure and a reference sound pressure level.
Sound Pressure Levels - Full Load
All sound pressure tables give the overall "A" weighted sound pressure levels which are considered typical of
what can be measured in a free field with a hand held sound meter, in the absence of any nearby reflective
surfaces. The sound pressure levels are measured at 30 feet (10 meters) from the side of the unit at 100% unit
load and ARI conditions. 95°F (35°C) ambient air temperature and 50F suction temperature.
Sound Power Levels
Acoustical consultants can require sound power octave band data to perform a detailed acoustical analysis.
The tables present sound power levels per ARI Standard 370, “Sound Rating of Large Outdoor Refrigerating
and Air Conditioning Equipment”. These standards were developed to establish uniform methods of
determining the sound power radiated by large outdoor and indoor equipment. The aforementioned methods
are based on providing sound power levels by octave band and the overall ‘A’ weighted value. Measurements
are taken over a prescribed area around the unit and the data is mathematically calculated to give the sound
power, dB. Sound power can be thought of as basic sound level emanating from the unit without
consideration of distance or obstructions.
Sound Reduction due to Distance from the Unit
The distance between a source of sound and the location of the sound measurement plays an important role in
minimizing sound problems. The equation below can be used to calculate the sound pressure level at any
distance if the sound power is known. Results for typical distances are tabulated in
determining the effect of distance is to work from sound pressure only. “Q”, the directionality factor, is a
dimensionless number that compensates for the type of sound reflection from the source. For example, a unit
sitting on a flat roof or ground with no other reflective surfaces or attenuation due to grass, snow, etc.,
between source and receiver: Q=2.
Table 24. Another way of
30 Catalog ACZ-AGZB1-1
Figure 8, "Q" Definition, Plan View, Unit Located in Center
Uniform Spherical Radiation
Q=1 no reflecting surface
Uniform Hemispherical Radiation
Q=2 single reflecting surface
Uniform Radiation over ¼ of sphere
Q=4 two reflecting surfaces
Sound pressure can be calculated at any distance from the unit if the sound power is known.
Lp=Lw-(20 log r) + (10 log Q) - .5
Lp = sound pressure r = distance from unit in feet
Lw = sound power Q = directionality factor
With Q=1
, Unit suspended in space (theoretical condition), the equation simplifies to:
Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) –0.5
With Q=2
, for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with no adjacent vertical wall as a reflective surface,
the equation simplifies to:
Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) + 2.5
With Q=4
for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with one adjacent vertical wall as a reflective surface,
the equation simplifies to:
Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) + 5.5
The equations are reduced to table form in
Table 24 for various distances and the two most usual cases of
“Q” type of location.
Table 24, dB Conversion of Sound Power to Pressure for Distance
Figure 9, Sound Pressure Attenuation Due to Distance from Unit
Sound Pressure Reduction - Low Ambient Conditions
Unit operation at a lower ambient temperature than 95°F (35C) will also result in lower sound pressure
levels. The sound pressure level will decrease 1 dBA for ambient temperatures between 85F and 94°F
(29.4C and 34.4C), 2 dBA for ambient temperatures between 75F and 84°F (23.9C and 28.9C), and 3
dBA for ambient temperatures between 65F and 74°F (18.3C and 23.3C).
Optional Acoustic Packages
For sound-critical applications, optional acoustical blankets can be factory-installed on each compressor.
They are also available for retrofit field installation.

Field Wiring
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.
ACZ-B and AGZ-B units have single-point power connection. A single field supplied fused disconnect is
required or it can be supplied as a factory-mounted option. The control transformer is factory mounted.
ACZ/AGZ-B units are rated to 115F (46C) maximum operating ambient air temperature as standard. There
is no high ambient option of vents or fans.
Electrical Data, R-22
Table 25, AGZ/ACZ-B, Electrical Data, Single Point, R-22
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.
2. The control transformer is furnished and no separate 115V power supply is required.
3. For a separate 115V control circuit power supply, use 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 wire.
5. “Recommended Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 175% of the largest compressor RLA, plus
100% of the RLA of all other loads in the circuit.
6. “Maximum Fuse or 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. The unit must be electrically grounded according to national and local electrical codes.
Voltage Limitations:
Within 10 percent of nameplate rating
Important: Voltage unbalance not to exceed 2% with a resultant current unbalance of 6 to 10 times the
voltage unbalance per NEMA MG-1, 1998 Standard. This is an important restriction that must be adhered to.
Notes for “Compressor and Condenser Fan Amp Draw”:
1. Compressor RLA values are for wiring sizing purposes only but may not reflect normal operating current
draw at rated capacity.
2. Fan motor FLA values are approximate fan motor amp values at rated voltage.
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 a 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.

ACZ/AGZ units are for outdoor applications and can
be mounted either on a roof or at ground level. 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. Use a one-piece
concrete slab with footings extended below the frost
line. Be sure the foundation is level within 1/2"
(13mm) over its length and width. The foundation
must be strong enough to support the weights listed in
the Dimension and Weight Tables on page
Clearances
The flow of air to and from the condenser coil must
not be limited. Restricting airflow 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 19. Do not block access to the unit with piping
or conduit.
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.

Refrigerant Piping
Models ACZ BS condensing units and AGZ-BM chillers with remote evaporators require field refrigerant
piping. Proper refrigerant piping makes the difference between a reliable or an inefficient problematic
system. The primary concerns related to piping are refrigerant pressure drop, a solid liquid feed to the
expansion valves, continuous oil return and properly sized refrigerant specialties.
The recommended source for refrigerant piping techniques and sizing is the ASHRAE 2002 Refrigeration
Handbook, chapter #2.
Refrigerant specialties including the expansion valves, solenoid valves, filter drier and sight glasses for use
with the remote evaporator applications are supplied and installed by the installing contractor. The
remaining components including pipe, insulation, fittings and Schrader valves are also provided and piped
by the installer. The optional hot gas bypass valve with solenoid valve can be provided as a field installed
or factory installed option. A holding charge of R-22 or R-407C is provided for the unit. The installer must
properly evacuate the piping system and provide the operating charge of refrigerant.
Although conflicting piping recommendations can be found in different sources, McQuay offers the
following recommendations for these controversial issues.
The use of double risers for vertical gas risers is generally not required and should be used only as a last
resort to maintain the minimum refrigerant flow to carry oil up the vertical risers. Slightly downsizing the
vertical riser is a superior option to providing double risers.
Slope the refrigerant lines 1” per 10 feet of horizontal run in the direction of refrigerant flow to assist oil
return.
Resist using hot gas bypass for applications when operation in ambient temperature below 40 degrees is
expected. This recommendation helps to maintain adequate condensing pressures and liquid refrigerant at
the expansion valve at maximum condenser capacity.
Pressure drops in the refrigerant lines should be maintained at or below the ASHRAE recommendations and
line lengths should be made as short as possible. Exceeding these recommendations will decrease
performance and could impact reliability.
Small traps should be provided at the base of each major vertical gas riser to assist in the collection of oil. If
vertical risers exceed more than 25 feet, install a small trap at the midpoint and not to exceed more than 20
feet intervals.
Use caution in sizing the liquid line in applications where the evaporator is above the outdoor section. The
weight of the liquid refrigerant in the vertical column will decrease the pressure at the top of the riser
(approximately .5 PSI per foot of vertical rise) allowing some of the refrigerant to flash to a gas. Adequate
refrigerant subcooling is needed at the outdoor section to prevent large volumes of refrigerant gas at the
expansion valve.
It is recommended that the piping systems always extend above the highest component in the refrigeration
system before dropping down to make the final refrigerant connections to components. This practice will
hinder the draining of condensed refrigerant to the lower component when normal shutdown procedures do
not occur (such as a power failure).
NOTE: Do not run refrigerant piping underground.
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. 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.
54 Catalog ACZ-AGZB1-1
3.Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Install drains at the lowest points in
Ai
the system.
4. Maintaining adequate system water pressure (expansion tank or regulating valve).
5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit to aid in unit servicing. Pressure gauge taps must be
installed in the chilled water inlet and outlet piping or as shown in Figure 4.
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 can prolong pump life and keep system performance up.
7. A 40-mesh strainer is required 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.
8. The brazed plate evaporator has a thermostat and heating cable to prevent freeze-up down to -20F (-29C).
The heating cable should be wired to a separate 110V supply circuit. As shipped from the factory, the
heating cable is wired to the control circuit. Protect all water piping to the unit from freezing.
!
CAUTION
If a separate disconnect is used for the 110V supply to the evaporator heating cable, mark the disconnect clearly so
the disconnect is not accidentally shut off during cold seasons. Failure to do so can cause a failure of the evaporator.
9. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, flush the system
thoroughly before unit installation. Perform regular water analysis and chemical water treatment on the
evaporator immediately at equipment start-up.
10. 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 to
default at 38F (3.3C). 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” on page

System 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
Catalog ACZ-AGZB1-1

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 of three to four times the flow rate (GPM). For example, if the design chiller flow rate
is 120 GPM, we recommend a minimum system volume of 360 to 480 gallons.
Since there are many other factors that can influence performance, systems may successfully operate below
these suggestions. However, as the water volume decreases below these suggestions, the possibility of problems
increases.
Variable Chilled Water flow
Variable chilled water flow systems are not recommended for this class of equipment due to limited unloading
capability.
Flow Switch
Mount a water flow switch in the leaving water line
to shut down the unit when water flow is interrupted.
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 42. Install the
switch as shown in Figure 21. Connect the normally
open contacts of the flow switch in the unit control
center at terminals 4 and 5. 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. Follow
installation instructions provided with the flow
switch. Calibrate the flow switch to open at one-half
of nominal flow rate.
Figure 21, Flow Switch Installation
NOTE: Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation. They are subject to
damage from freezing.

3. Flow rates for a 3-inch paddle trimmed to fit the pipe.
4. Flow rates for a 3-inch paddle.
5. Flow rates for a 6-inch paddle.
Water Connections
The unit has 3-inch holes for the chilled water piping to enter the unit. The connections are made to the
evaporator water connections located within the unit. Chilled water piping within the unit must be insulated.

Vibration Isolators
Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration transmission is a
consideration.
The unit should be initially 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.
A rubber anti-skid pad is part of the isolator. Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping connections
and at least three feet of flexible conduit to avoid straining the piping and transmitting vibration and noise.
Isolator Installation
The unit should be initially installed on shims or blocks at the listed free height. When all piping, wiring,
flushing, charging, etc. is completed, adjust the springs upward to load them and to provide clearance to remove
the shims or blocks.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping connections and at least three feet of conduit flex tie-ins.
Piping and conduit must be supported independently of the unit.
Hot gas bypass permits unit operation down to appromately10% of full load capacity. This option includes a
factory-installed hot gas bypass valve, solenoid valve, and manual shutoff valve for each circuit.
Interconnecting piping to the evaporator is field installed on Model ACZ and AGZ-BM remote evaporator
chillers.
Head Pressure Control
Optional SpeedTrol head pressure allows unit operation down to 0°F (-18°C). (Not available on 380 volt, 60
