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.
