Introduction

General Description

McQuay AGS air-cooled water chillers are complete, self-contained automatic refrigerating units that include the latest in engineered components arranged to provide a compact and efficient unit. Each unit is completely assembled, (except remote evaporator applications) 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 available as standard efficiency (model DS) and high efficiency units (DE). The high efficiency units have certain larger components to improve efficiency.
The units are optionally available with the evaporator shipped separately for remote mounting indoors.
Information on the operation of the unit MicroTech II controller is in the OM AGSD3 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 on page
23.

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
!
DANGER
Improper lifting or moving unit can result in property damage, severe personal injury or death. Follow rigging and moving instructions carefully

Page 5

Location

Locate the unit carefully to provide proper airflow to the condenser. (See Figure 2on 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 condenser and could have a significant detrimental effect on unit performance.
See Restricted Airflow beginning on page 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
Figure 2 can cause discharge air recirculation to the
7 for further information.

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 right-hand 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 field-mounted 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.
IMM AGSD3 7

Case 1, Building or Wall on One Side of One Unit

The existence of a screening wall, or the wall of a building, in close proximity to an air-cooled 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.

IMM AGSD3 11
Page 12
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.

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 22 on page 38.

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: A 20 mesh strainer must also be placed in the supply water line just prior to 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.
!
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.
16 IMM AGSD3
Page 17
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

All chilled water systems need adequate time to recognize a load change, respond to that load change and stabilize, without undesirable short cycling of the compressors or loss of control. In air conditioning systems, the potential for short cycling usually exists when the building load falls below the minimum chiller plant capacity or on close-coupled systems with very small water volumes.
Some of the things the designer should consider when looking at water volume are the minimum cooling load, the minimum chiller plant capacity during the low load period and the desired cycle time for the compressors.
Assuming that there are no sudden load changes and that the chiller plant has reasonable turndown, a rule of thumb of “gallons of water volume equal to two to three times the chilled water gpm flow rate” is often used.
A properly designed storage tank should be added if the system components do not provide sufficient water volume.

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 occur. If the flow exceeds the maximum rate, excessive pressure drop and tube erosion can occur.
22. If flow drops below the minimum allowable, large reductions in heat transfer can
IMM AGSD3 17
Page 18

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 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
38. If this is done, mark the disconnect switch clearly to avoid
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.
3. 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.

Two series of units are available with the AGS-D chillers.
Standard Efficiency,
model number following the “D” vintage designation (i.e. AGS 200DS
designated by a "S" (or “M” with remote evaporator) as the last digit in the
or AGS 200DM) are
designed to meet ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standard. They provide the lowest dollar per ton price.
High Efficiency,

designated by an "E" (or “F” with remote evaporator) as the last digit in the
or AGS 200DF) are designed for high efficiency operation. 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.

Flow Switch

A flow switch must be included in the chilled water system to prove that there is

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 packaged units, and page
53 for remote evaporator models. Model AGS-CM/CB with remote
23 for
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.
Note: The procedure below does not specify the type of glycol. Use the derate factors found in Table 11 for corrections when using propylene glycol and those in Table 12 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:

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 sy stem 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 antifreeze. Industrial 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.

Lifting, Mounting, and Total Weights

Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration transmission is a consideration. Initially install the unit on shims or blocks at the illustrated "free height" of the isolator that is usually 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 tie­ins. 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.
NOTE: Dimensions for locating the mounting holes and lifting tabs are shown on the unit dimension drawings beginning on page
25.

Electrical Data

Field Wiring

General
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances. Warranty does not cover damage to the equipment caused by wiring not complying with specifications.
An open fuse indicates a short, ground, or overload. Before replacing a fuse or restarting a compressor or fan motor, the trouble must be found and corrected.
Copper wire is required for all power lead terminations at the unit, and copper must be used for all other wiring to the unit.
AGS units can be ordered with main power wiring for either multiple-point power (standard) or single-point connection (optional).
If the standard multiple-point power wiring is ordered, two separate power connections are made to the disconnect switch on the power panel. See the dimension drawings beginning on page Separate disconnects are required for each electrical circuit if the McQuay optional factory-mounted disconnects are not ordered.
If the optional single-point power connection is ordered, a single power connection is made to a power block (or optional disconnect switch) in the unit power panel. A separate disconnect is required if the McQuay optional factory-mounted disconnect is not ordered. Isolation circuit breakers for each circuit are included.
23 for entry locations.
It can be desirable to have the unit evaporator heaters on a separate disconnect switch from the main unit power supply so that the unit power can be shut down without defeating the freeze protection provided by the evaporator heaters. See the field wiring diagram on page
38 for connection details.
The 115-volt control transformer is factory mounted and wired.
!
CAUTION
If a separate disconnect is used for the 115V supply to the unit, it must power the entire control circuit, not just the evaporator heaters. It must 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 heater burnout.
!
CAUTION
AGS unit compressors are single-direction rotation compressors and can be damaged if rotated in the wrong direction. For this reason, proper phasing of electrical power is important. Electrical phasing must be A, B, C for electrical phases 1, 2 and 3 (A=L1, B=L2, C=L3) for single or multiple point wiring arrangements. The solid-state starters contain phase reversal protection. DO NOT ALTER THE WIRING TO THE STARTERS.

Electrical Data Notes

1. The field wire size designation is explained in the table to the right that defines the number of wires and conduit recommended. A “2” in parenthesis (2) indicates that two conduits are required.
2. Allowable voltage limits Unit nameplate 208V/60Hz/3PH: 187V to 229V Unit nameplate 230V/60Hz/3Ph: 207V to 253V Unit nameplate 460V/60Hz/3Ph: 414V to 506V Unit nameplate 575V/60Hz/3Ph: 517V to 633V Maximum of 2 percent voltage unbalance.
3. 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. Wire size ampacity for separate 115V control circuit power is 15 amps.
4. Compressor RLA values are for wire sizing purposes only but do reflect normal operating current draw at unit rated capacity.
5. Single point power supply requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit.
6. Multiple point power supply requires two independent power circuits.
7. All field wiring to unit power block or optional non-fused disconnect switch must be copper.
8. Field wire size values given in tables apply to 75°C rated wire per NEC.
9. External disconnect switches or breakers must be field supplied. Note: On single point power units a non-fused disconnect switch in the cabinet is available as an option.
10. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes.
11. Recommended time delay fuse size or breakers is equal to 175% of the largest compressor motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum of condenser fan FLAs.
12. Maximum time delay fuse size or breakers is equal to 225% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum of condenser fan FLAs.
Power Limitations:
1. Voltage within ± 10 percent of nameplate rating.
2. 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.

Piping Layout

Figure 25 shows the piping layout for one of the two refrigerant circuits for AGS units with a remote evaporator. Economizers may or may not be on any given circuit. Note that the refrigerant specialties are field installed adjacent to the evaporator. The outdoor unit, the evaporator, and a kit of refrigerant components are shipped as separate pieces. The outdoor unit is shipped with an operating charge of refrigerant. Refrigerant for the evaporator and field refrigerant piping is furnished by the contractor and must be added in the field.
The location and size of the refrigerant (and water) connections are shown on the dimension drawings beginning on page right.
NOTE: All field piping, wiring, and procedures must be performed in accordance with ASHRAE, EPA, and industry standards.

Field Wiring (Remote Evaporator)

Field wiring connections from the remote evaporator to the outdoor unit are shown on Figure 22 on
38. Additionally, sensor connections 2, 3, and 4 below, are required:
page
1. The electronic expansion valve has a 30-feet long cable attached and can be used, as is, when
the outdoor unit is less than 30 feet away. Beyond that, a junction box must be located within 30 feet of the evaporator, and up to 70 additional feet of 14GA wire connected from the cable to the unit, allowing up to a total distance of 100 feet (30 feet of cable and up to 70 feet of 14GA).
2. Two evaporator water temperature sensors with 100 feet of cable coiled in the unit control
panel for extension to the evaporator and insertion in fittings located on the side of the inlet and outlet nozzles.
3. One suction line refrigerant temperature sensor per circuit with 100 feet of cable coiled in the
unit control panel for extension to the evaporator. Place the sensor in a brazed well (provided in kit, installed in the field) on the suction line in a straight-flat area, close to the suction line pressure transducer. Install with heat conductive compound and insulate well. If installed on a horizontal pipe run, locate between the 2-4 o’clock position.
4. One suction line pressure transducer per circuit with 100 feet of cable coiled in the unit control
panel for extension to the evaporator. Mount the transducer in the suction line, 2-3 feet from the evaporator head, on the top or side of the pipe. Connection is ¼-inch flare with a flare Schrader.

IMM AGSD3 45
Page 46

Refrigerant Line Sizing

Layout and size the refrigerant piping in accordance with the latest edition of the ASHRAE Handbook. A line sizing guide can be found below. Keep the refrigerant suction line pressure drop at close to a maximum of 2-degree F. drop in saturated temperature. Each of the two suction line’s velocity must be sufficient to carry oil when considering a capacity reduction of 25% in each circuit.
NOTE: A piping schematic diagram must be submitted to McQuay through the local sales office, and approved, before unit can be shipped. The diagram must show pipe size, elevations, length of runs and fittings.
NOTE: The following applies to all size units:
Do not run refrigerant piping underground.
Maximum linear line length can not exceed 75 feet.
Maximum total equivalent length (TEL) can not exceed 180 feet.
The evaporator can not be located more than 15 feet above the outdoor unit.
The evaporator can not be located more than 20 feet below the outdoor unit.
Suction line connection at unit = 3 5/8 inches
Suction line connection at evaporator = 4 1/8 inches.
Liquid line connection at the unit = 1 3/8.
Liquid line connection at the evaporator = 1 5/8.
A piping drawing showing altitudes, line lengths, slopes and all fittings, using Form SF 99006
(Revised 5/02), must be sent to the McQuay Technical Response Center for review prior to entering a unit order.
When facing the unit control box, the left-hand compressor is circuit # 1, and the right-hand is
compressor # 2. With mix-matched compressor sizes, #1 is the smallest.

Solid State Starters

Solid state starters are standard on all AGS units. A solid state starter uses a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power section to allow a motor to be brought to full speed with a reduced initial voltage that increases to full line voltage over a given time. The McQuay motor starter, custom designed for this specific application, is microprocessor controlled. Along with this starting technique, the motor starter also provides protection for the motor and monitors its load conditions.
The starter offers:
Solid state design.
Closed-loop motor current control.
Programmable motor protection.
Programmable operating parameters.
Programmable metering options.
The three-phase starter contains a six-SCR power section with two SCRs per phase connected in inverse parallel. This power section is capable of providing maximum torque per amp throughout the motor’s speed-torque curve with minimal motor and starter heating. At the same time, the starter continually monitors the amount of current being delivered to the motor, thus helping to protect the motor from overheating or drawing excessive current. The starter will automatically stop the motor if the line-to-line current is not within acceptable ranges, or if the current is lost in a line. The motor current scaling is set according to the motor size and the specific application. The starter circuitry is contained on a single printed circuit board, which contains all the logic and SCR gate drive circuitry.

System Maintenance

General

On initial start-up and periodically during operation, it will be necessary to perform certain routine service checks. Among these are checking the liquid line sight glasses, and the compressor oil level sight glass. In addition, check the MicroTech II controller temperature and pressure readings with gauges and thermometers to see that the unit has normal condensing and suction pressure and superheat and subcooling readings. A recommended maintenance schedule is located at the end of this section.
A Periodic Maintenance Log is located at the end of this manual. It is suggested that the log be copied and a report be completed on a regular basis. The log will serve as a useful tool for a service technician in the event service is required.
Initial start-up date, vibration readings, compressor megger readings and oil analysis information should be kept for reference base-line data.
Compressor Maintenance
Since the compressor is semi-hermetic, no yearly compressor maintenance is normally required; however, vibration is an excellent check for proper mechanical operation. Compressor vibration contributes to a decrease in unit performance and efficiency and indicates that maintenance is required. It is recommended that the compressor be checked with a vibration analyzer at, or shortly after, start-up and again on an annual basis. The load should be maintained as closely as possible to the load of the original test and only one compressor should be running at a time. The initial vibration analyzer test provides a benchmark of the compressor and, when performed routinely, can give a warning of impending problems.
Lubrication
No routine lubrication is required on AGS units. The fan motor bearings are permanently lubricated. No further lubrication is required. Excessive fan motor bearing noise is an indication of a potential bearing failure.

Figure 38, Compressor Oil Filter

Compressor oil must be ICI RL68HB, McQuay Part Number 735030446 in a 1-gallon container. This is synthetic polyolester oil with anti-wear additives and is highly hygroscopic. Care must be taken to minimize exposure of the oil to air when charging oil into the system.
The oil filter resides in the compressor housing as
Oil Sight Glass
The top of the oil level should be visible in the sight glass. If the glass is completely filled with oil at all times, the circuit is overcharged with oil. If only refrigerant is visible in the glass, the circuit has insufficient oil.
A mechanical oil pressure differential switch is mounted on the unit frame adjacent to each compressor and will shut down the compressor at a differential pressure greater than 25 psi. The switch has automatic reset but is locked out by the MicroTech II control, which must be reset through the software. A gauge can be put across the switch to actually measure the pressure drop. The normal pressure drop is 5 to 6 psi. Change the filter at 15 psi.

Electrical Terminals

!
DANGER
Electric equipment can cause electric shock with a risk of severe personal injury or death. Turn off, lock out and tag all power before continuing with following service. Panels can have more than one power source..
!
CAUTION
Periodically check electrical terminals for tightness and tighten as required. Always use a back-up wrench when tightening electrical terminals..
Condensers
The condensers are air-cooled and constructed of 3/8" (9.5mm) OD internally finned copper tubes bonded in a staggered pattern into louvered aluminum fins. No maintenance is ordinarily required except the routine removal of dirt and debris from the outside surface of the fins. McQuay recommends the use of non-caustic, non-acidic, foaming coil cleaners available at most air conditioning supply outlets. Flush the coil from the inside out.
!
WARNING
Use caution when applying coil cleaners. They can contain potentially harmful chemicals. Wear breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove any cleaner residue. Do not damage the fins during cleaning.
If the service technician has reason to believe that the refrigerant circuit contains noncondensables, recovery of the noncondensables will be required, strictly following Clean Air Act regulations governing refrigerant discharge to the atmosphere. The service Schrader valves are located on both vertical coil headers on both sides of the unit at the control box end of the coil. Access panels are located at the end of the condenser coil directly behind the control panel. Recover the noncondensables with the unit off, after shutdown of 15 minutes or longer, to allow air to collect at the top of the coil. Restart and run the unit for a brief period. If necessary, shut the unit off and repeat the procedure. Follow accepted environmentally sound practices when removing refrigerant from the unit.
Liquid Line Sight Glass
Observe the refrigerant sight glasses (one per circuit) weekly. A clear glass of liquid indicates that there is adequate refrigerant charge in the system to provide proper feed through the expansion valve. Bubbling refrigerant in the liquid line sight glass, during stable run conditions, may indicate that there can be an electronic expansion valve (EXV) problem since the EXV regulates liquid subcooling. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sight glass could also indicate an excessive pressure drop in the liquid line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in the liquid line (see page
22 for maximum allowable pressure drops).
An element inside the sight glass indicates the moisture condition corresponding to a given element color. If the sight glass does not indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation, the circuit should be pumped down and the filter-drier changed. An oil acid test is also recommended.
Do not use the sight glass on the EXV body for refrigerant charging. Its purpose is to view the position of the valve.
Lead-Lag
A feature on all McQuay AGS air-cooled chillers is a system for alternating the sequence in which the compressors start to balance the number of starts and run hours. Lead-Lag of the refrigerant circuits is accomplished automatically through the MicroTech II controller. When in the auto mode, the circuit with the fewest number of starts will be started first. If all circuits are operating and a stage down in the number of operating compressors is required, the circuit with the most operating
IMM AGSD3 69
Page 70
hours will cycle off first. The operator can override the MicroTech II controller, and manually select the lead circuit as circuit #1 or #2.

Service

CAUTION
1. Service on this equipment must be performed by trained, experienced refrigeration
personnel familiar with equipment operation, maintenance, correct servicing procedures, and the safety hazards inherent in this work. Causes for repeated tripping of equipment protection controls must be investigated and corrected.
2. Anyone servicing this equipment must comply with EPA requirements regarding
refrigerant reclamation and venting.
DANGER
Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit to avoid bodily injury or death.
MULTIPLE POWER SOURCES CAN FEED THE UNIT.

Liquid Line Filter-Driers

Replace the filter-drier cores any time excessive pressure drop is read across the filter-drier and/or when bubbles occur in the sight glass with normal subcooling. There is one, two-core drier in each circuit. Models AGS 180 to 210 have economizers that incorporate an additional filter-drier that should also be checked. The maximum recommended pressure drop across the filter-drier is 7 psi at full load.
The filter-driers should also be changed if the moisture indicating liquid line sight glass indicates excess moisture in the system, or an oil test indicates the presence of acid.
High acid cores may be used temporarily, but replaced after two day use.
The following is the procedure for changing the filter-drier core:
The standard unit pumpdown is set to stop pumpdown when 20 psig (138 kPa) suction pressure is reached. To fully pump down a circuit beyond 20 psig (138 kPa) for service purposes, a "Full Pumpdown" service mode can be activated using the keypad.
With Full Pumpdown = Yes, then the next time the circuit is pumped down, the pumpdown will continue until the evaporator pressure reaches 15 psig (103 kPa) or 120 seconds have elapsed, whichever occurs first. Upon completing the pumpdown, the "FullPumpDwn" setpoint is automatically changed back to "No".
The procedure to perform a full service pumpdown for changing the filter-drier core is as follows:
1. Under the "Alarm Spts", change the "FullPumpDwn" setpoint from "No" to "Yes".
2. Move the circuit switch to the OFF position. The compressor will unload to minimum slide
position and the unit will pump down.
IMM AGSD3 71
Page 72
3. Upon completing the full pumpdown per step 3, the "FullPumpDwn" setpoint is automatically
changed back to "No" which reverts back to standard 20 psig (138 kPa) pumpdown stop pressure.
4. If the pumpdown does not go to 15 psig (103 kPa) on the first attempt, one more attempt can
be made by repeating the above steps. Do not repeat "FullPumpDwn" more than once to avoid excessive screw temperature rise under this abnormal condition.
5. The circuit is now in the deepest pumpdown that can be achieved by the use of the compressor.
Close the two liquid line shutoff valves upstream of the filter-drier, on the circuit to be serviced plus the optional suction shutoff valve. Manually open the EXV, then remove the remaining refrigerant from the evaporator by the use of a refrigerant recovery unit.
6. Loosen the cover bolts, remove the cap and replace the filters.
7. Evacuate and open valves. Evacuate the lines through the liquid line manual shutoff valve(s) to remove noncondensables that
could have entered during filter replacement. Perform a leak check before returning the unit to operation.

Compressor Slide Valves

The slide valves used for unloading the compressor are hydraulically actuated by pulses from the load/unload solenoid as controlled by the circuit controller. See OM AGS for details on the operation.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV)

The electronic expansion valve is located in each circuit’s liquid line entering the evaporator. The expansion valve meters the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator to match the cooling
load. It does this by maintaining constant suction superheat. (Superheat is the difference between the actual refrigerant temperature of the gas as it leaves the evaporator and the saturation temperature corresponding to the evaporating pressure.) The EXV logic controls the superheat between 4°F at 0% slide position and 8°F at 100% slide position.
The position of the valve can be viewed at any time by using the MicroTech II controller keypad through the View Refrigerant menus. There are 6386 steps between closed and full open. There is also a sight glass on the EXV to observe valve movement and to check if it is open or closed visually.

Evaporator

The evaporator is a two-circuit, direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing through the shell and refrigerant flowing in one pass through the tubes. The tubes are internally enhanced to provide extended heat transfer surface. Normally, no service work is required on the evaporator other than cleaning the water side in the event of improper water treatment or contamination.

Charging Refrigerant

Note:
It is a good idea to record the normal values of refrigerant pressures, subcooling, superheat, and evaporator and condenser approach temperatures during startup by the McQuay service technician. This makes it easier to spot errant unit behavior.
72 IMM AGSD3
Page 73
Indications of a low refrigerant R-134a charge:
Condenser subcoolong approaching 0 degrees F.
Suction superheat higher than 10 to 12 degrees F.
Bubbles in the sight glass.
Indications of a high refrigerant R-134a charge:
Condenser pressure is abnormally high.
Subcooling is abnormally high. Take note of the subcooling on the unit at startup and use this
value as a benchmark.
EXV is at minimum position and discharge superheat is low (below 22 degrees F). The circuit
controller View Refrigerant Screen #7 displays the valve position and the valve range. The minimum position occurs when the valve position value remains at the lower limit of the range displayed.
AGS air-cooled screw compressor chillers are shipped factory-charged with a full operating charge of refrigerant; but there can be times when a unit must be recharged at the job site. Follow these recommendations when field charging. Refer to the unit operating charge found in the Physical Data Tables beginning on page initial charge of 80% to 90% of the nameplate is assumed. Unit charge adjustment should be done at 100% load, at normal cooling outdoor temperature (preferably higher than 75°F (24°C), and with all fans on. Unit must be allowed to run 15 minutes or longer so that the condenser fan staging and load is stabilized at normal operating discharge pressure. For best results, charge with condenser pressure at design conditions.
23 for packaged units and page 53 for remote evaporator units. An
Each circuit of the evaporator has a sight glass located in the liquid line. If the unit can be run at close to ARI conditions (95°F ambient temperature and 44°F chilled water), there should be no bubbles in the sight glass, but this does not necessarily mean that the unit is correctly charged. Charge until the superheat and subcooling temperatures are within range. The discharge superheat should be above 22 degrees F.
Procedure to charge an undercharged AGS unit:
1. If a unit is low on refrigerant, first determine the cause before attempting to recharge the unit.
Locate and repair any refrigerant leak. Evidence of oil is a good indicator of leakage. However, oil may not be visible at all leaks. Liquid leak detector fluids work well to show bubbles at medium size leaks, but electronic leak detectors can be needed to locate small leaks. Do not use oil/refrigerant detection additives.
2. Add the charge to the system only through the evaporator charging valve.
3. The charge must be added at the 100% slide valve position and above conditions.
4. Add sufficient charge to clear the conditions listed above under “Indications of a low
refrigerant R-134a charge”.
5. Overcharging of refrigerant will raise the condenser pressure and increase the condenser
subcooling.

Evaporator entering water temperature - This sensor is located on the evaporator water inlet connection and is used for monitoring purposes and return water temperature reset control.
Evaporator pressure transducer circuit #1, 2 - This sensor is located on the suction side of the compressor (evaporator outlet) and is used to determine saturated suction refrigerant pressure and temperature. It also provides low pressure freeze protection.
Condenser pressure transducer circuit #1, 2 - the sensor is located in the discharge line and is used to read discharge pressure and saturated refrigerant temperature (calculated). The transducer will signal the controller to hold load or unload the compressor if a rise in head pressure occurs which is outside the MicroTech II controller setpoint limits. The signal is also used in the calculation of discharge superheat.
Liquid pressure transducer #1, 2 – located on the liquid line ahead of the EXV. It is used to determine liquid pressure and subcooling and is used to control the EXV.
Outside air - This sensor is located on the back of the control box. It measures the outside air temperature, is used to determine if low ambient start logic is necessary, and can be the reference for low ambient temperature lockout.
Suction temperature circuit #1, 2 - The sensor is located in a well on the suction line. The purpose of the sensor is to measure refrigerant temperature and superheat.
Discharge line temperature circuit #1, 2 - The sensor is located in a well on the discharge line. It measures the refrigerant temperature and is used to calculate discharge superheat.
Demand limit - This requires a field connection of a 4-20 milliamp DC signal from an external source such as a building automation system. It will determine the maximum number of cooling stages that can be energized.
Evaporator water temperature reset - This requires a 4-20 milliamp DC signal from a building automation system or temperature transmitter to reset the leaving chilled water setpoint.
High condenser pressure control
MicroTech II control is equipped with high pressure transducers on each refrigerant circuit. The main purpose of the high pressure transducer is to maintain proper head pressure control. It also sends a signal to the MicroTech II control to unload the compressor in the event of an excessive rise in discharge pressure to 275 psig (1896 kPa). Also, MicroTech II control will inhibit additional circuit loading at 267 psig (1841 kPa). The high pressure switch trip setting is 282 psig (1944 kPa). The high pressure alarm is in response to the signal sent by the pressure transducer.
Mechanical high pressure equipment protection control
The high pressure equipment protection control is a single pole, pressure-activated switch that opens on a pressure rise. When the switch opens, the control circuit is de-energized, dropping power to the compressor and fan motor contactors. The switch is factory set (non-adjustable) to open at 310 psig (2137 kPa) ±7 psig and reclose at 200 psig (1379 kPa) ±7 psig. Although the high pressure switch will close again at 200 psig (1379 kPa), the control circuit will remain locked out and it must be reset through the MicroTech II control.
The control is mounted on the rear of the compressor. See page
Compressor motor protection
65.
The compressors are supplied with two types of motor protection. Solid state electronic overloads mounted in the control box sense motor current to within 2% of the operating amps. The MUST TRIP amps are equal to 140% of unit nameplate compressor RLA. The MUST HOLD amps are equal to 125% of unit nameplate RLA. A trip of these overloads can result from the unit operating outside of normal conditions. Repeat overload trips under normal operation can indicate wiring or compressor motor problems. The overloads are manual reset and must be reset at the overload, as well as through the MicroTech II controller.

The compressors also have a solid state Guardister circuit that provides motor over temperature protection. The Guardister circuit has automatic reset and gives a Starter Fault (F75) that is cleared through the starter display and must also be reset through the MicroTech II control.
Head pressure control (standard)
The MicroTech II controller automatically cycles the condenser fans in response to condenser pressure. Each fan in a circuit is cycled independently for 4, 5 or 6 steps per circuit, depending on the unit size. This maintains head pressure and allows the unit to run at ambient air temperatures down to 35°F (1.7°C). The settings are adjustable through the controller.
Each fan added has a decreasing percentage effect, so the control pressure band is smaller when more fans are on and largest with only one or two fans on.
Unit operation with the standard control is satisfactory down to outdoor temperatures of 35°F (-
1.7°C). Below this temperature, the VFD option is required to regulate the speed of the first fan on the circuit to adequately control the discharge pressure. The VFD option allows unit operation to 0°F (-17.8°C) outdoor temperature, assuming no greater than 5-mph wind.
Head pressure control (optional low ambient)
The optional low ambient control includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) on the first fan on each circuit. The remaining fans cycle based on discharge pressure. This control must be used for operation in ambient temperatures below 35°F (1.7°C) down to 0°F (-17.8°C).
NOTE: VFD and standard fan cycling will provide proper operating refrigerant discharge
pressures at the ambient temperatures listed for them, provided the coil is not affected by the existence of wind. Louvers must be utilized for low ambient operation if the unit is subjected to winds greater than 5 mph.
Compressor short cycling protection
The MicroTech II controller contains logic to prevent rapid compressor restarting. Excessive compressor starts can be hard on starting components and create excessive motor winding temperatures. The anti-cycle timers are set for a five-minute stop-to-start cycle and a 20-minute start-to-start cycle. Both are adjustable through the MicroTech II control.
