Introduction
General Description
McQuay TGZ water heaters are scroll compressor refrigeration units that recover heat from warm fluid streams in
the evaporator and deliver hot water, at a useful temperature, from the condenser to a heating load. They are
designed for indoor installations only and are completely assembled, wired, charged and tested. Each unit consists
of four or six (depending on unit size) scroll compressors, brazed-plate evaporators on models 040 through 120
and shell-and-tube evaporators on models 150 to 190, shell-and-tube condenser/heater, and complete refrigerant
piping.
There are two refrigerant circuits, each with manual liquid line shutoff valves, charging valves, filter-driers, liquid
line solenoid valves, sightglass/moisture indicators, and thermal expansion valves.
®
The electrical control center includes a MicroTech II
dependable automatic operation.

Inspection
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to provide a
complete shipment. All units must be carefully inspected for damage upon arrival. All shipping damage must be
reported to the carrier and a claim must be filed with the carrier. The unit serial plate should be checked 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.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are given in the Physical Data Tables beginning on page
24.

Installation
TGZ040-190A / WGZ030-200C
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.
!
WARNING
Avoid contact with sharp edges. Personal injury can result.
Handling
Every model TGZ water heater is shipped with a full refrigerant charge that is isolated in the condenser by the
manual condenser liquid valve and the compressor discharge service valve.
If the unit has been damaged, allowing the refrigerant to escape, there can be danger of suffocation in the
equipment area since the refrigerant will displace the air. Be sure to review Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) requirements if damage has occurred. Avoid exposing an open flame to the refrigerant.
Moving the Unit
Moving the UnitThe skid option is strongly recommended for ease of handling and to help prevent damage
if a crane is not available for rigging at site.

It is recommended that all moving and handling be performed with skids under the unit when possible and that the
skids not be removed until the unit is in the final location. When moving the unit, dollies or simple rollers can be
used under the skids. Never put the weight of the unit against the control box.
In moving, always apply pressure to the base on the skids only and not to the piping or shells. A long bar will help
move the unit easily. Avoid dropping the unit at the end of the roll.
If the unit must be hoisted, it is necessary to lift the unit by attaching cables or chains at the lifting holes located on
the disposable lifting bars. Spreader bars must be used to protect the control cabinet and other areas of the unit (see
Figure 1)
Do not attach slings to piping or equipment. Move unit in the upright horizontal position at all times. Set unit down
gently when lowering from the trucks or rollers.
Location
The unit is designed for indoor application and must be located in an area where the ambient temperature is above
40°F (4°C) minimum.
Because of the electronic control devices, the units should not be exposed to the weather. A plastic cover over the
control box is supplied as temporary protection during shipment. A reasonably level and sufficiently strong floor is
required for the unit. If necessary, additional structural members should be provided to transfer the weight of the unit
to the nearest beams.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are available in the Weights section beginning on page
24.
Space Requirements for Connections and Servicing
Allow a minimum of 4-foot clearance in front of the control panel. The source water and hot water piping enters and
leaves the unit from the right side when looking at the control panel. Left-hand condenser connections are an option.
A clearance of at least 3 feet (1219 mm), or more if codes require, should be provided beyond this piping and on all
other sides and ends of the unit for general servicing or for changing the compressors, if it ever becomes necessary.
Clearance should also be provided for cleaning or removal of condenser tubes, and evaporator tubes on models 150
to 190, on one end of the unit. The clearance for cleaning depends on the type of apparatus used, but can be as much
as the length of the largest condenser (12 feet, 3660 mm). Tube replacement requires the tube length plus one to two
feet of workspace. This space can often be provided through a doorway or other opening.
Placing the Unit
The small amount of vibration normally encountered with the water chiller makes this unit particularly desirable for
basement or ground floor installations where the unit can be mounted directly to the floor. The floor construction
should be such that the unit will not affect the building structure, or transmit noise and vibration into the structure.

A rubber anti-skid pad should be used under isolators if hold-down bolts are not used.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping connections and at least three feet of flexible electrical
conduit to avoid straining the piping and transmitting vibration and noise

Water Piping
General
Due to the variety of piping practices, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of local authorities. They can
supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes required for a safe and proper installation.
Note: Since the Templifier evaporator and/or condenser may have to be valved off for cleaning or repair, it may
be essential that a bypass be piped around them so that source and hot water flow is not interrupted.
The piping should be designed with a minimum number of bends and changes in elevation to keep system cost
down and performance up. It should contain:
1. All piping should be installed and supported to prevent the unit connections from bearing any strain or
weight of the system piping.
2. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
3. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during unit servicing.
4. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Drains should be placed at the
lowest points in the system.
5. Some means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (e.g., expansion tank or regulating valve).
6. Temperature and pressure indicators located within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the inlet and outlet of the
vessels to aid in unit servicing.
7. A strainer or some means of removing foreign matter from the water before it enters the pump is
recommended. It should be placed 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 thus keep
system performance up.
8. A cleanable strainer must
condenser, 40-mesh on models TGZ 040 to 120 evaporators and 20-mesh on all other vessels. This will
aid in preventing foreign material from entering and decreasing the performance of the evaporator and
condenser.
9. Any water piping to the unit must be protected to prevent freezing. Consult the ASHRAE handbook for
standard industry practice.
10. If the unit is used in an existing piping system, the system should be thoroughly flushed prior to unit
installation. When job conditions permit, regular water analysis and chemical water treatment on the
evaporator and condenser is recommended commencing at equipment start-up.
11. The total quantity of water in the evaporator and condenser systems should be sufficient to prevent
frequent “on-off” cycling. For closed loop applications where the cooling load changes relatively
slowly, a minimum system volume of two to three minutes times the flow
recommended. For example, if the design chiller flow rate is 120 gpm, we recommend a system
volume of 240 to 360 gallons.
12. In the event glycol is added to the water system, as an afterthought for freeze protection, recognize that
the refrigerant suction pressure will be lower, cooling and heating performance lower, and water side
pressure drop will be greater. If the percentage of glycol is large, or if propylene is employed 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 36°F
(2.2°C). Reset the freezestat setting to approximately 4° to 5°F (2.3° to 2.8°C) below the leaving
chilled water setpoint temperature. See the section titled “Glycol Solutions” on page
information concerning glycol.
13. A preliminary leak check of the water piping should be made before filling the system.
A flow switch must be installed in the horizontal piping of the evaporator and condenser outlet
also be placed in the water lines just prior to the inlets of the evaporator and

Source Water Piping
r
The system water piping must be flushed thoroughly prior to making connections to the unit evaporator. Lay out
the water piping so the source water circulating pump discharges into the evaporator inlet.
!
CAUTION
A cleanable strainer must be placed in the water lines just prior to the inlets of the evaporator and
condenser, 40-mesh on models 040 to 120 evaporators and 20-mesh on all other vessels. Failure
to do so will cause damage to the equipment.
!
CAUTION
Templifier Models TGZ 040 through TGZ 120 must have clean source water from a closed and
treated loop going to the brazed-plate evaporator. For open water loop applications, an intermediate
heat exchanger between the source water and evaporator is required. Failure to provide a clean,
closed water loop can cause equipment failure and possible revocation of the unit warranty.
Templifier evaporator water can come from various sources and care must be exercised to avoid sources that can
cause corrosion, fouling, or accumulation of debris in the heat exchanger. Borderline cases will require a careful
and rigorously performed maintenance schedule.
Extensive, detailed information on the suitability of source water for brazed-plate exchangers can be found in an
Alfa Laval, June 2001 publication titled A Technical Reference for Plate Heat Exchangers in Refrigeration & Air-conditioning Applications
Table 2, Evaporator Characteristics
TGZ UNIT SIZE EVAPORATOR MATERIALSSTRAINER CLEANING
Inlet and outlet connections are clearly marked on the unit and also appear on the dimension drawings, beginning
on page
16.
Drain connections should be provided at all low points in the system to permit complete drainage. Air vents
should be located at the high points in the system to purge out air. A vent connection, located on top of the
evaporator vessel, permits the purging of air out of the evaporator. Air purged from the water system prior to unit
start-up provides adequate flow through the vessel and prevents safety cutouts on the freeze protection. System
pressures can be maintained by using an expansion tank as a combination pressure relief and reducing valve.
Pressure gauges should be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator. Pressure drop through the
evaporator should be measured to calculate proper gpm (L/s) as specified in the Physical Data section tables,
beginning on page
25. Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines.
Source water piping may have to be insulated (depending on its temperature) to reduce heat loss and prevent
condensation if cold water is used. If cooling tower water is used, insulation is not necessary. Complete unit and
system leak tests should be performed prior to insulating the water piping. Insulation with a vapor barrier is
recommended. If the vessel is insulated, the vent and drain connections must extend beyond the proposed
insulation thickness for accessibility. If the unit operates year-round, or if the system is not drained for the winter,
the chilled water piping exposed to outdoor ambient should be protected against freezing by wrapping the lines
with a heater cable.
Source/Hot Water Thermostat
The source water temperature sensor is factory installed in the leaving water connection on the evaporator. The
controlling hot water sensor is in the leaving condenser connection. A sensor is also located in the entering
IM TGZ TGZ 040A through TGZ 190A 8
Page 10
water connection in order to measure the condenser Delta-T. Care should be taken not to damage the sensor
V
cable or leadwires when working around the unit. It is also advisable to check the leadwire before running the
unit to be sure that it is firmly anchored and not rubbing on the frame or any other component.
If the sensor is ever removed from the well for servicing, care must be taken as not to wipe off the heat
conducting compound supplied in the well. The units can be switched from heating to cooling. In the cooling
mode they are controlled by a thermostat in the leaving evaporator connection, in the heating mode by the
condenser thermostat.
Flow Switch
A water flow switch must be mounted in the evaporator and condenser leaving water lines to prove adequate
water flow to the vessels before the unit can start. This will safeguard against slugging the compressors on
start-up. It also serves to shut down the unit in the event that water flow is interrupted to guard against
evaporator freeze-up.
A flow switch is available from McQuay under ordering number 01750330. It is a “paddle” type switch and
adaptable to any pipe size from 1” (25mm) to 6” (152mm) nominal. Certain minimum flow rates are required
to close the switch and are listed in
Diagram on page
32 for terminal locations. The normally open contacts of the flow switch should be wired
between these two terminals. There is also a set of normally closed contacts on the switch that could be used
for an indicator light or an alarm to indicate when a “no flow” condition exists.
1. Apply pipe sealing compound to only the threads of the switch and screw unit into D” x D” x 1 (25mm)
reducing tee (see
Figure 4). The flow arrow must be pointed in the correct direction.
2. Provide a straight length of pipe before and after the flow switch of at least five times the pipe diameter.
3. Trim flow switch paddle if needed to fit the pipe diameter. Make sure paddle does not hang up in pipe.
Table 3. Installation should be as shown on page 9. See the Field Wiring
!
CAUTION
Make sure the arrow on the side of the switch is pointed in the direction of flow. Install per manufacturer’s
instructions. Incorrect installation will cause improper operation and possible evaporator damage.

Glycol Solutions
T
The use of glycol in Templifier systems is rare but if used, the system glycol capacity, glycol solution flow rate in
gpm (lps), pressure drop through the cooler, and system pressure drop can be calculated using the following
formulas and table.
1. Capacity — Capacity is reduced from that with plain water. To find the reduced value multiply the unit’s
water system capacity by the capacity correction factor C, as shown in
capacity in the glycol system.
3. Pressure Drop — To determine glycol pressure drop through the cooler, enter the proper water pressure drop
curve, beginning on page
11, at the water flow. Multiply the water pressure drop found there by P to obtain
corrected glycol pressure drop.
4. To determine glycol system kW, multiply the water system kW by factor K.
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.
McQuay encourages a minimum glycol concentration of 25% be provided on all glycol applications. Glycol
concentrations below 25% have too little inhibitor content for long-term corrosion protection of ferrous metals.
Note: The effect of glycol in the condenser is negligible and there is no capacity derate. There is a
significant increase in pressure drop.
Do not use automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade glycols must be used. Automotive antifreeze contains
inhibitors which all cause plating on the copper within the unit evaporator. The type and handling of glycol used
must be consistent with local codes.
Condenser Water Piping
Arrange the condenser water so the water enters the bottom connection of the condenser. The condenser water
will discharge the condenser from the top connection. Failing to arrange the condenser water as stated above will
negatively affect the capacity and efficiency. Note that the condensers are shipped as either two-pass (10 to 20degree Delta-T) or four-pass (20 to 40-degree Delta-T). For 2-pass, the connections are on the vertical centerline
of the condenser. For 4-pass, they are off to one side.
Pressure gauges should be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the condenser. Pressure drop through the
condenser should be measured to determine gpm (L/s) from pressure drop curves on page
eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines.
11. Vibration
IM TGZ TGZ 040A through TGZ 190A 10
Page 12
Templifier hot water systems usually have a supplementary heater located after (downstream) of the
Templifier condenser to either boost the hot water temperature or to function as a standby heater.
Care should be exercised to avoid overly warm water coming back to the Templifier from the system and
causing a relief valve discharge. This is true whether the unit is running or off. Maximum temperature is 165°F
Some jurisdictions require double heat exchange walls between refrigerant and potable water. Potable water
run directly through a condenser has only one heat exchange wall (the condenser tube) and these jurisdictions
may require an intermediate heat exchanger.
Heating and Cooling Units
Templifiers can be arranged and controlled to act as either a water chiller or a water heater. These
systems vary considerably in the specifics of the piping arrangement. Care must be exercised when
changeover occurs to avoid mixing water streams that could possibly contaminate a water system. For
example a unit can have chilled water in the evaporator and tower water in the condenser when in the
cooling mode. Changeover to heating could put tower water through the evaporator and hot water
(possibly potable water) through the condenser. This could introduce tower water into the chilled
water system and into the hot water system and should be avoided.
Water Pressure Drop
The vessel flow rates must fall between the minimum and maximum values shown on the appropriate
evaporator and condenser curves on pages
laminar flow that will reduce efficiency, cause erratic operation of the expansion valve and could cause low
temperature cutoffs. On the other hand, flow rates exceeding the maximum values shown can cause erosion on
the evaporator water connections and tubes.
Measure the water pressure drop through the vessels at field installed pressure taps. It is important not to
include valves or strainers in these readings.
The condenser flow rate will determine whether 2-pass or 4-pass condensers are used, according to the
following table:
12 to 14. Flow rates below the minimum values shown will result in
CONDENSER DELTA-T PASSES FLOW
10- to 20 Degrees F 2-Pass High Flow Rate
20 to 40 Degrees F 4-Pass Low Flow Rate
The entering water should be piped to the bottom connection of the condenser and out the top.
The current ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 specifies that pressure relief valves on vessels containing Group 1
refrigerant (R-134a) “shall discharge to the atmosphere at a location not less than 15 feet (4.6 meters) above the
adjoining ground level and not less than 20 feet (6.1 meters) from any window, ventilation opening or exit in any
building.” The piping must be provided with a rain cap at the outside terminating point and a drain at the low point
on the vent piping to prevent water buildup on the atmospheric side of the relief valve. In addition, a flexible pipe
section should be installed in the line to eliminate any piping stress on the relief valve(s).
The size of the discharge pipe from the pressure relief valve shall not be less than the size of the pressure relief
outlet. When two or more vessels are piped together, the common header and piping to the atmosphere shall not be
less than the sum of the area of the relief valve outlets connected to the header. Fittings should be provided to permit
vent piping to be easily disconnected for inspection or replacement of the relief valve.
NOTE: Provide adequate fittings in piping to permit repair or replacement of relief valve.

Field Wiring
The TGZ units are supplied as standard with compressor contactors and power terminal block, designed for multipoint power supply to the unit, no compressor circuit breakers. Available options are:
• Single-point connection to power block with comp ressor circuit breakers
• Single-point connection to disconnect switch with comp ressor circuit breakers
• High short circuit current rating with single-point disconnect switch
• Multi-point connection to disconnect switch, no comp ressor circuit breakers
A factory-installed control circuit transformer is standard. Optionally, a field-installed control power source can
be wired to the unit.
Wiring and conduit selections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or local requirements.
An open fuse indicates a short, ground, or overload. Before replacing a fuse or restarting a compressor, the trouble
must be found and corrected. Tables in the Electrical Data section (page
recommended wire sizes.
Unit power inlet wiring must enter the control box through the right side. A 7/8-inch pilot knockout is provided.
(Refer to the unit dimension drawings beginning on page
16 for the location of power (and control) connections.)

To avoid equipment damage, use only copper conductors in main terminal block.
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.
Pre Start-up
1. With main disconnect open, check all electrical connections in control panel and starter to be sure they are tight
and provide good electrical contact. Use only copper wire to connection points.
2. Check and inspect all water piping. Make sure flow direction is correct and piping is made to correct
connection on evaporator and condenser.
3. Open all water flow valves to the condenser and evaporator.
4. Flush the cooling tower (if there is one used) and system piping to be sure the system is clean. Start source
water pump and manually start hot water pump. Check all piping for leaks. Vent the air from the evaporator
and condenser water circuit as well as from the entire water system. The cooler circuit should contain clean,
non-corrosive water.
5. Check to see that the water temperature thermostat sensor is installed in the correct water line.
6. Making sure control stop switch S1 is open (off) and pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 are on “manual
pumpdown,” throw the main power and control disconnect switches to “on.” This will energize the crankcase
heaters. Wait a minimum of 12 hours before starting up unit.
7. Check compressor oil level. Prior to start-up, the oil level should cover at least one-third of the sightglass.
8. Check pressure drop across evaporator and condenser, and see that water flow is correct per the design flow
rates and data on pages
9. Check the actual line voltage to the unit to make sure it is the same as called for on the compressor nameplate
within + 10% and that phase voltage unbalance does not exceed 2%. Verify that adequate power supply and
capacity is available to handle load.
10. Make sure all wiring and fuses are of the proper size. Also make sure all interlock wiring is completed per
McQuay diagrams. Use only copper wire.
11. Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections by code authorities have been completed.
12. Make sure all auxiliary load and control equipment is operative and that adequate cooling heat is available for
initial start-up.
12 through 14.
Start-up
1. Open the compressor suction and discharge shutoff valves until backseated. Always replace valve seal caps.
2. Open the manual liquid line shutoff valve and leak test the unit.
3. Check to see that the unit circuit breakers are in the “off” position.
4. Check to see that the pumpdown switchs PS1 and PS2 are in the “manual pumpdown” position and the control
system switch S1 is in the “off” position.
5. Place the main power and control circuit disconnects to the “on” position.
6. Verify crankcase heaters have operated for at least 12 hours prior to start-up. Crankcase should be warm.
7. Adjust the setpoint on the MicroTech II controller to the desired hot water temperature.
8. Start the auxiliary equipment for the installation by turning on the time clock, ambient thermostat and/or
remote on/off switch and chilled water pump.
9. Check resets of all equipment protection controls.
10. Switch the unit circuit breakers to on.
11. Place pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to “auto” for restart and normal operation.
12. Start the system by pushing the system switch S1 to on.
13. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in each compressor crankcase and check for flashing
in the refrigerant sightglass.
14. After system performance has stabilized, it is necessary that the “Compressorized Equipment Warranty Form”
(Form No. 206036A) be completed to obtain full warranty benefits. Be sure to list the pressure drop across
both vessels. This form is shipped with the unit and after completion should be returned to McQuay Factory
Service through the McQuay sales representative.
15. Verify all control settings appropriate to the application.

Extended Shutdown
1. Close the manual liquid line shutoff valves.
2. After the compressors have pumped down, stop or bypass the source water and hot water flow.
3. Turn off all power to the unit.
4. Move the control service switch S1 to the “off” position.
5. Close the suction and discharge shutoff valves on the compressor(s) and the liquid outlet valves at the
condenser(s) or receiver(s).
6. Tag all opened disconnect switches to warn against start-up before opening the compressor suction and
discharge valves and heating the oil.
7. Drain all water from the unit evaporator, condenser, pumps and water piping if the unit is to be shut down
during the winter and exposed to below freezing temperatures. Do not leave the vessels or piping open to
the atmosphere over the shutdown period.
Start-up after Extended Shutdown
1. Inspect all equipment to see that it is in satisfactory operating condition.
2. Open the compressor suction and discharge valves until backseated. Always replace valve seal caps.
3. Open the manual liquid line shutoff valves.
4. Check circuit breakers. They must be in the “off” position.
5. Check to see that the pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 are in the “manual shutdown” position and the
control system switch S1 is in the “off” position.
6. Throw the main power and control circuit disconnects to the “on” position.
7. Allow the crankcase heaters to operate for at least 12 hours prior to start-up.
8. Start the source water flow and purge the water piping as well as the evaporator in the unit.
9. Start the auxiliary equipment for the installation by turning on the time clock, ambient thermostat and/or
remote on/off switch.
10. Adjust the setpoint on the MicroTech II controller to the desired hot water temperature.
11. Check resets of all equipment protection controls.
12. Switch the unit circuit breakers to “on.”
13. Start the system by pushing the system switch S1 to “on.”
!
WARNING
Most relays and terminals in the control center are powered when S1 is closed and the control circuit disconnect is
on. Therefore, do not close S1 until ready for start-up or serious equipment damage can occur.
14. Place pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the “auto pumpdown” position for restart and normal
operation.
15. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in each compressor crankcase and for flashing
in the refrigerant sightglass (see Maintenance section).
General
The liquid line sightglass/moisture indicator on all circuits must be checked to be sure the glass is full and clear
and the moisture indicator indicates a dry condition. If the indicator shows that a wet condition exists or if bubbles
show in the glass, even with a full refrigerant charge, the filter-drier element must be changed.
Water supplies in some areas can tend to foul the TGZ heat exchangers to the point where cleaning is necessary.
The fouled vessel will be indicated by an abnormally high condensing pressure or low evaporating pressures and
can result in nuisance trip-outs. To clean the vessels, a chemical descaling solution should be used according to
the manufacturer’s directions.

WARNING
Warranty is voided if wiring is not in accordance with specifications. A blown fuse or tripped protector indicates a
short ground or overload. Before replacing fuse or restarting compressor, the trouble must be found and corrected. It
is important to have a qualified control panel electrician service this panel. Unqualified tampering with the controls
can cause serious damage to equipment and void the warranty.
The following steps should be taken prior to attempting any service on the control center:
1. Study the wiring diagram furnished with the unit so that you understand the operation of the unit.
2. Before investigating trouble in the control center, check for burned out light bulbs by testing across the
appropriate terminals.
!
DANGER
The panel is always energized to ground even though the system switch is off. If it is necessary to de-energize the
complete panel including crankcase heaters, pull the main unit disconnect. Failure to do so will result in serious
personal injury or death.
If motor or compressor damage is suspected, do not restart until qualified service personnel have checked the unit.
Electrical Terminals
!
DANGER
To avoid injury from electric shock hazard, turn off all power before continuing with the following service.
All power electrical terminals should be checked for tightness every six months, as they tend to loosen in service due
to normal heating and cooling of the wire.

NOTE: ELWT=Evaporator Leaving Water Temperature, CLWT=Condenser Water Leaving Temperature.
Compressor Oil
The oil level should be watched carefully upon initial start-up and for sometime thereafter.
Compressor oil must be ICI RL68HP, McQuay Part Number 735030442 in a 1-gallon container, or ICI
RL68H, Part Number 735030444 in a 1-gallon size. 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.
Oil can be added to the compressor through the oil fill hole in the compressor. To add oil, pump in the
necessary oil. If the system contains no refrigerant, no special precautions are necessary other than keeping the
oil clean and dry.
Sightglass and Moisture Indicator
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 sightglass indicates that the system is short of
refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sightglass could also indicate an excessive pressure drop in
the line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in the system. An element inside the
sightglass indicates what moisture condition corresponds to a given element color. If the sightglass does not
indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation, the unit should be pumped down and the filter-driers
changed.
