Introduction
General Description
McQuay refrigerating units that include the latest in engineered components arranged to provide a compact and efficient unit. Each unit is completely assembled, factory wired, evacuated, charged, tested and comes complete and ready for installation. Each unit consists of two air-cooled condenser sections with integral subcooler sections, two semi-hermetic, single­screw compressors with solid-state starters, a two-circuit shell-and-tube direct expansion evaporator, and complete refrigerant piping. Each compressor has an independent refrigeration circuit. Liquid line components included are manual liquid line shutoff valves, charging ports, filter-driers, sight-glass/moisture indicators, solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves. A discharge shutoff valve is included and a compressor suction shutoff valve is optional. Other features include compressor heaters, evaporator heaters for freeze protection, automatic one-time pumpdown of each refrigerant circuit upon circuit shutdown, and an advanced fully integrated microprocessor control system.
AGS units are divided between standard efficiency (model numbers ending in “0”) and high efficiency units (ending in “5”). The high efficiency units have certain larger components.
The units are optionally available with the evaporator shipped separately for remote mounting indoors.
A high ambient option is required for operation in ambient temperatures above 115°F (46°C), or 105°F (41°C) on units equipped with optional fan VFDs.
Information on the operation of the unit MicroTech II controller is in the OM AGS manual.

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.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are shown in the Physical Data Tables on page 26 for packaged units and page 60 for remote evaporator models.
IMM AGS-2 3
Installation and Start-up
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential injury hazard. Avoid contact with them.
Note: 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.
Start-up by McQuayService is included on all units sold for installation within the USA and Canada and must be performed by them to initiate the standard limited product warranty. Two-week prior notification of start-up is required. The contractor should obtain a copy of the Start-up Scheduled Request Form from the sales representative or from the nearest office of McQuayService.
Escaping refrigerant can displace air and cause suffocation. Immediately evacuate
and ventilate the equipment area. If the unit is damaged, follow Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Do not expose sparks, arcing equipment, open
flame or other ignition source to the refrigerant.
Handling
Avoid rough handling shock due to impact or dropping the unit. Do not push or pull the unit.
WARNING
WARNING
Never allow any part of the unit to fall during unloading or moving, as this can result in serious damage.
To lift the unit, lifting tabs with 2½" (64 mm) diameter holes are provided on the base of the unit. All lifting holes must be used when lifting the unit. Spreader bars and cables should be arranged to prevent damage to the condenser coils or unit cabinet (see Figure 1).
DANGER
Improper lifting or moving unit can result in property damage, severe
personal injury or death. Follow rigging and moving instructions carefully.
Figure 1, Required Lifting Method
NOTES:
1. All rigging points on a unit must be used. See location and weights at lifting points beginning on page 13 for a specific size unit.
2. Crosswise and lengthwise spreader bars must be used to avoid damage to unit. Lifting cables from the unit mounting holes up must be vertical.
3. The number of condenser sections, and fans can vary from this diagram.
4 IMM AGS-2
Location
Locate the unit carefully to provide proper airflow to the condenser. (See Figure 2 on page 6 for required clearances).
Due to the shape of the condenser coils on the AGS chillers, it is recommended that the unit be oriented so that prevailing winds blow parallel to the unit length, thus minimizing the wind effect on condensing pressure and performance. If low ambient temperature operation is expected, optional louvers should be installed if the unit has no protection against prevailing winds.
Using less clearance than shown in Figure 2 can cause discharge air recirculation to the condenser and could have a significant detrimental effect on unit performance.
See Restricted Airflow beginning on page 7 for further information.
For pad-mounted units, it is recommended that the unit be raised a few inches with suitable supports, located at least under the mounting locations, to allow water to drain from under the unit and to facilitate cleaning under it
Service Access
Compressors, filter-driers, and manual liquid line shutoff valves are accessible on each side or end of the unit. The evaporator heater is located on the barrel.
The control panels are located on the end of the chiller. The left-hand control box contains the unit and circuit microprocessors as well as transformers, fuses and terminal. The right­hand panel contains a circuit breaker and solid state starter for each compressor plus fuses, fan VFD (optional) and fan contactors. A minimum of four feet of clearance is required in front of the panels.
The side clearance required for airflow provides sufficient service clearance.
On all AGS units, the condenser fans and motors can be removed from the top of the unit. The complete fan/motor assembly can be removed for service. The fan blade must be removed for access to wiring terminals at the top of the motor.
WARNING
Disconnect, lockout and tag all power to the unit before servicing condenser fan
motors or compressors.
Failure to do so can cause bodily injury or death.
Do not block access to the sides or ends of the unit with piping or conduit. These areas must be open for service access. Do not block any access to the control panels with a field­mounted disconnect switches.

Restricted Airflow
General
The clearances required for design operation of AGS air-cooled condensers are described in the previous section. Occasionally, these clearances cannot be maintained due to site restrictions such as units being too close together or a fence or wall restricting airflow, or both.
The McQuay AGS chillers have several features that can mitigate the problems attributable to restricted airflow.
The shape of the condenser section allows inlet air for these coils to come in from both
sides and the bottom. All the coils on one side serve one compressor. Every compressor always has its own independent refrigerant circuit.
The MicroTech II control is proactive in response to off-design conditions. In the
case of single or compounded influences restricting airflow to the unit, the microprocessor will act to keep the compressor(s) running (at reduced capacity) as long as possible, rather than allowing a shut-off on high discharge pressure.
Figure 3, Coil and Fan Arrangement
The following sections discuss the most common situations of condenser air restriction and give capacity and power adjustment factors for each. Note that in unusually severe conditions, the MicroTech II controller will adjust the unit operation to remain online until a less severe condition is reached.

Case 1, Building or Wall on One Side of One Unit
5 ft.
(1.5m)
(1.8m)
The existence of a screening wall, or the wall of a building, in close proximity to an air­cooled chiller is common in both rooftop and ground level applications. Hot air recirculation on the coils adjoining the wall will increase compressor discharge pressure, decreasing capacity and increasing power consumption.
When close to a wall, it is desirable to place chillers on the north or east side of them. It is also desirable to have prevailing winds blowing parallel to the unit’s long axis. The worst case is to have wind blowing hot discharge air into the wall.

Case 2, Two Units Side By Side
Two or more units sited side by side are common. If spaced closer than 12 feet (3.7 meters), or 8 feet (2.5 meters), depending on size, it is necessary to adjust the performance of each unit. Circuits adjoining each other are affected. NOTE: This case applies only to two units side by side. See Case 3 for three or more parallel units. If one of the two units also has a wall adjoining it, see Case 1. Add the two adjustment factors together and apply to the unit located between the wall and the other unit.
Mounting units end to end will not necessitate adjusting performance. Depending on the actual arrangement, sufficient space must be left between the units for access to the control panel door opening and/or evaporator tube removal. See “Clearance” section of this guide for requirements for specific units.

Case 3, Three or More Units Side By Side
When three or more units are side by side, the outside units (chillers 1 and 3 in this case) are influenced by the middle unit only on their inside circuits. Their adjustment factors will be the same as Case 2. All inside units (only chiller 2 in this case) are influenced on both sides and must be adjusted by the factors shown below.

Case 4, Open Screening Walls
Decorative screening walls are often used to help conceal a unit either on grade or on a rooftop. These walls should be designed such that the combination of their open area and distance from the unit do not require performance adjustment. It is assumed that the wall height is equal to or less than the unit height when mounted on its base support. This is usually satisfactory for concealment. If the wall height is greater than the unit height, see Case 5, Pit Installation.
The distance from the ends of the unit to the end walls must be sufficient for service, opening control panel doors, and pulling evaporator tubes, as applicable.
If each side wall is a different distance from the unit, the distances can be averaged, providing either wall is not less than 8 feet (2.4 meters) from the unit. For example, do not average 4 feet and 20 feet to equal 12 feet.

Figure 11, Wall Free Area vs. Distance
IMM AGS-2 11
Case 5, Pit/Solid Wall Installation
Pit installations can cause operating problems and great care must be exercised if they are to be used on an installation. Recirculation and restriction can both occur. A solid wall surrounding a unit is substantially the same as a pit and the data presented in this case should be used.
Steel grating is sometimes used to cover a pit to prevent accidental falls or trips into the pit. The grating material and installation design must be strong enough to prevent such accidents, yet provide abundant open area or serious recirculation problems will occur. Have any pit installation reviewed by the McQuay sales office prior to installation to discuss whether it has sufficient airflow characteristics. The installation design engineer must approve the work and is responsible for design criteria.

Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration transmission is a consideration. Initially installed the unit on shims or blocks at the illustrated "free height" of the isolator that is six inches for the McQuay isolators shown. 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.
There are separate weight and isolator tables for copper fin coils. All other coil types, such as ElectroFin and Blackfin, use the aluminum fin data.
Isolator bolting: the unit base is an enclosed box design and may have six or ten mounting locations, depending on the date of manufacture. Mounting locations M1 and M2 at dimension “C” and locations M5 and M6 at dimension “E” are not used. Locations MM1, MM2, M3, M4, MM5 and MM6 have access holes on top of the base, above the lower mounting holes and should be used for all isolator types. One simple method of bolting the base to the isolators (if required) is to remove the short threaded studs, usually provided with isolators, and replace them with eight-inch threaded rod. The rod will extend above the top of the base and a washer and nut can then be easily attached.

Chilled Water Pump
It is recommended that the chilled water pumps' starters be wired to, and controlled by, the chiller's microprocessor. The controller will energize the pump whenever at least one circuit on the chiller is enabled to run, whether there is a call for cooling or not. Wiring connection points are shown in Figure 23 on page 42.
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.
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 evaporator inlet and outlet to
aid in unit servicing. Any connections should be made prior to filling the system with water.
6. A strainer to remove 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 help maintain high system performance levels.
NOTE
the inlet of the evaporator. This will aid in preventing foreign material from entering the evaporator and causing damage or decreasing its performance. Care must also be exercised if welding pipe or flanges to the evaporator connections to prevent any weld slag from entering the vessel.
7. Any water piping to the unit must be protected to prevent freeze-up if below freezing
temperatures are expected.
:
A 40 mesh strainer must also be placed in the supply water line just prior to
CAUTION
If a separate disconnect is used for the 115V supply to the unit, it should power the entire control circuit, not just the evaporator heaters. It should be clearly marked so that it is not accidentally shut off during cold seasons. Freeze damage to the evaporator could result. If the evaporator is drained for winter freeze protection, the heaters must be de-energized to prevent burnout.
8. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, flush
the system thoroughly prior to unit installation. Perform regular chilled water analysis and chemical water treatment immediately at equipment start-up.
IMM AGS-2 19
9. In the event glycol is added to the water system as a late addition for freeze protection,
recognize that the refrigerant suction pressure will be lower, cooling performance less, and water side pressure drop greater. If the percentage of glycol is large, or if propylene is employed in lieu of ethylene glycol, the added pressure drop and loss of performance could be substantial.
10. For ice making or low temperature glycol operation, a different freezestat pressure
value is usually required. The freezestat setting can be manually changed through the MicroTech II controller.
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 chilled water 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 consequences.
For normal comfort cooling applications where the cooling load changes relatively slowly, a minimum system volume of three minutes times the flow rate (gpm) is recommend. For example, if the design chiller flow rate is 400 gpm, we recommend a minimum total system volume of 1200 gallons (400 gpm x 3 minutes).
For process applications, such as a quenching tank, where the cooling load can change rapidly, additional system water volume is needed. The load would be very stable until the hot material is immersed in the water tank. Then, the load would increase drastically. For this type of application, system volume can need to be increased.
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.
Variable Speed Pumping
Variable water flow involves reducing the water flow through the evaporator as the load decreases. McQuay chillers are designed for this duty, provided that the rate of change in water flow is slow, and the minimum and maximum flow rates for the vessel are not exceeded.
The recommended maximum change in water flow is 10 percent of the change per minute.
The water flow through the vessel must remain between the minimum and maximum values listed on page 25. If flow drops below the minimum allowable, large reductions in heat transfer can occur. If the flow exceeds the maximum rate, excessive pressure drop and tube erosion can occur.
20 IMM AGS-2
Evaporator Freeze Protection
AGS chillers are equipped with thermostatically controlled evaporator heaters that help protect against freeze-up down to -20°F (-28°C).
NOTE: The heaters come from the factory connected to the control power circuit. The control power can be rewired in the field to a separate 115V supply (do not wire directly to the heater). See the field wiring diagram on page 42. If this is done, mark the disconnect switch clearly to avoid accidental deactivation of the heater during freezing temperatures. Exposed chilled water piping also requires protection.
For additional protection, at least one of the following procedures should be used during periods of sub-freezing temperatures:
1. Adding of a concentration of a glycol anti-freeze with a freeze point 10 degrees F below
the lowest expected temperature. This will result in decreased capacity and increased pressure drop.
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.
2. Draining the water from outdoor equipment and piping and blowing the chiller tubes
dry from the chiller. Do not energize the chiller heater when water is drained from the vessel.
CAUTION
If fluid is absent from the evaporator, the evaporator heater must be de-energized
to avoid burning out the heater and causing damage from the high temperatures.
1. Providing operation of the chilled water pump, circulating water through the chilled
water system and through the evaporator.

Notes:
1. These figures are examples only and cannot be appropriate to every situation. Generally, for an extended margin of protection, select a temperature at least 15°F lower than the expected lowest ambient temperature. Inhibitor levels should be adjusted for solutions less than 25% glycol.
2. Glycol of less than 25% concentration is not recommended because of the potential for bacterial growth and loss of heat transfer efficiency.

NOTE: Contact the local McQuay sales office for operation outside any of these limits.
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperatures
Standard Efficiency, designated by a "0" as the last digit in the model number (such as AGS 170C) are designed for operation up to 125 degrees. Significant unloading above 115 degrees can occur depending on a variety of factors. Contact your sales representative for performance above 115 degrees. Additional unloading can result with leaving water temperatures above 45 degrees.
High Efficiency, designated by a "5" as the last digit in the model number (such as AGS 175C) are designed for operation up to 125 degrees without unloading for leaving water temperatures between 40 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Contact your sales representative for evaporator duty outside of this range. The High Efficiency models have larger components, and/or more fans than the comparable Standard Efficiency models. This results in improved efficiency and the ability to operate at higher ambient air temperatures.
High Ambient Option, A factory-installed option that provides components allowing operation in high ambient temperature locations. It can be applied to any unit and is mandatory on:
1. All units with the optional VFD low ambient control.
2. All units that can have operating ambient temperatures above 115°F (46°C).
Flow Switch
A flow switch must be included in the chilled water system to prove that there is adequate water flow to the evaporator before the unit can start. It also serves to shut down the unit in the event that water flow is interrupted in order to guard against evaporator freeze-up.
A solid state flow switch that is factory­mounted and wired in the chiller leaving water nozzle is available as an option.
A flow switch for field mounting and wiring in the leaving chilled water is also available as an option from McQuay under

Refrigerant Charge
All packaged units are designed for use with R-134a and are shipped with a full operating charge. The operating charge for each unit is shown in the Physical Data Tables beginning on page 26 for packaged units, and page 60 for remote evaporator models. Model AGS­CM/CB with remote evaporators are shipped with a full unit charge. Refrigerant must be added in the field for the evaporator and for the refrigerant lines.
Glycol Solutions
When using glycol anti-freeze solutions the chiller's capacity, glycol solution flow rate, and pressure drop through the evaporator can be calculated using the following formulas and tables.
IMM AGS-2 23
Note: The procedure below does not specify the type of glycol. Use the derate factors
()()(
)
found in Table 14 for corrections when using propylene glycol and those in Table 15 for ethylene glycol.
1. Capacity - Cooling capacity is reduced from that with plain water. To find the
reduced value, multiply the chiller’s water system tonnage by the capacity correction factor to find the chiller’s capacity when using glycol.
2. Flow - To determine flow (or Delta-T) knowing Delta-T (or flow) and capacity:
GPM−=
24
factorflowtons
TDelta
3. Pressure drop - To determine pressure drop through the evaporator when using
glycol, enter the water pressure drop curve at the water flow rate. Multiply the water pressure drop found there by the "PD" factor to obtain corrected glycol pressure drop.
4. Power - To determine glycol system kW, multiply the water system kW by the factor
designated "Power".
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. On glycol applications, the supplier normally recommends that a minimum of 25% solution by weight be used for protection against corrosion or that additional inhibitors should be employed.
NOTE: 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.

Water Flow and Pressure Drop
Adjust the chilled water flow through the evaporator to meet specified conditions. The flow rates must fall between the minimum and maximum values shown in the table on the following page. Flow rates below the minimum values shown will result in laminar flow that will reduce efficiency, cause erratic operation of the electronic expansion valve and could cause low temperature cutouts. On the other hand, flow rates exceeding the maximum values shown can cause erosion on the evaporator water connections and tubes.
Measure the chilled water pressure drop through the evaporator at field-installed pressure taps. It is important not to include valve or strainer pressure drops in these readings.
