MOVINGTHE UNIT
The McQuay Templifierheat pump is mounted on heavy
wooden skids to protect the unit from accidental damage and
to permit easy handling and moving.
It is recommendedthat all moving and handling be performed with the 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 skids only and not to the piping or shells, A long bar helps 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 attachingcables or chains at the lifting holes in the
evaporator tube sheets. Spreader bars must be used to protect the control cabinet and other areas of the chiller (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.
Note: On unit sizes 120 through 170D, ordered with the op-
tional acoustical enclosure, there will be extension brackets
attached to the evaporator tube sheets. These brackets will
be used for hoisting the unit and should be removed when
unit is in place.

Because of the electrical control devices, the units should
not be exposed to the weather. A plastic cover over the control box is supplied as temporary ’protection during transfer.
SPACE REQUIREMENTSFOR CONNECTIONSAND SERVICING
The chilled water piping for all units enters and leaves the
evaporator from the rear, with the control box side being the
front side of the unit. (A clearance of 3 to 4 feet should be provided for this piping and for replacing the filter-driers, for servicing the solenoid valves, or for changing the compressors,
should it ever become necessary). Recommendedservice
clearances are shown in Figure 2.
The condenser water piping enters and leaves the shell
from the ends. Work space must be provided in case water
regulating valves are being used and for general servicing.
Clearance should be provided for cleaning condenser tubes
or for removing evaporator tubes on one end of the unit as
specified in Table 1. It is also necessary to leave a work area
on the end opposite that used for replacement of a cooler tube.

LOCATION
A reasonably level and sufficiently strong floor is all that
is required for the Templifier heat pump. If necessary, additional structural members should be provided to transfer the
weight of the unit to the nearest beams.

The small amount of vibration normally encountered with the
Templifier makes this unit particularly desirable for basement
or ground floor installationswhere the unit can be bolted
directly to the floor. The floor construction should be such that
the unit will not affect the building structure, or transmit noise
and vibrationinto the structure,See vibrationisolator

section for additionalmountina information.
Note: On the THR 120D thru 170D, shipping bolts are used
to secure the compressor rails to the evaporator brackets.
Remove these and discard after unit is mounted and before
unit is started.
VIBRATIONISOLATORS
Rubber-in-shear or spring isolators can be furnished and field
placed under each corner of the package,It is recommended that a rubber-in-shearpad be used as the minimum
isolation on all upper level installations or areas in which vibra-
tion transmissionis a consideration.
Transfer the unit as indicated under “Moving the Unit.” In
all cases, set the unit in place and level with a spirit level.
When spring type isolators are required, install springs running under the main unit supports. Adjust spring type mountings so that upper housing clears lower housing by at least
1/4” and not more than 1/2”.A rubber anti-skid pad should be
used under isolators if hold-down bolts are not used.
Vibration eliminators in all water piping connected to the
Templifier are recommended to avoid straining the piping and
transmittingvibration and noise.

Since regional piping practices vary considerably,local ordinances and practices will govern the selection and installation of piping. In all cases local building and safety codes and
ordinances should be studied and complied with.
All piping should be installed and supported to prevent the
unit connectionsfrom bearing any strain or weight of the
system piping.
Vibration eliminatorsin all water piping connected to the
unit are recommendedto avoid straining the piping and
transmittingpump noise and vibrationto the building
structure.
It is recommended that temperature and pressure indicators
be installed within 3 feet of the inlet and outlet of the shells
to aid in the normal checking and servicing of the unit.

EVAPORATORPIPING
The water flow entering the evaporator must always be on the
end nearest the expansion valves and evaporator refrigerant
piping connections to assure proper expansion valve opera-
tion and unit capacity (see pages 14 thru 16).
Design the piping so that it has a minimumnumber of
changes in elevation. Include manual or automatic vent valves
at the high points of the chilled water piping, so that air can
be vented from the water circuit, System pressures can be
GENERAL
the water before it enters the unit or the pump is recom-
mended. 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
and unit life and thus keep system performanceup.
A preliminaryleak check of the water piping should be
made before filling the system.
Shutoff valves should be provided at the unit so that normal servicing can be accomplishedwithout draining the
system.
A water flow switch or pressure differentialswitch must
be mountedin the water lines to the evaporatorand the
condenserto verify water flow before unit is permittedto
start.
maintainedby using an expansion tank or a combination
pressure relief and reducing valve.
All chilled water piping should be insulated to prevent con-
densation on the lines. If insulation is not of the self-contained
vapor barrier type, it should be covered with a vapor seal.
Piping should not be insulated until completely leak tested.
Vent and drain connectionsmust extend beyond pro-
posed insulation thickness
for accessibility.

CONDENSERWATER PIPING
THR condensers have factory manifolds for single inlet and
outlet connections. Water flow may be 2-pass parallel, 4-pass
parallel or 8-pass series/parallel to suit the application, Refer
to Figure 6 to determine condenser water circuiting arrangement. For proper performance,the condenser water must
enter the bottom connection of the condenser on all circuiting
arrangements.
Condenserwater pressure drop for the unit should be
measured at the common inlet and outlet pipe, through a port
provided by the installing contractor. All pressure drop measurements should be made with the same gauge to insure
an accurate reading, Before the pressure drop curves can be
read, the pressure drop values on the curve must be corrected
based on the average hot condenser water temperature. The
correction factor can be obtained from page 9, and then
multiplied by the values on the pressure drop curves to adjust them according to the average water temperature in the
system.

Note: If cooling”tower or other source water containing dirt,
sediment or other foreign matter is used, assure that take-offs
to the Templifier are at the top of horizontal pipelines to minimize foreign matter getting into the evaporator. Depending
on water conditions,dual strainers and/or a settling drum
should be considered.

be adequate water flow and load to the evaporator and condenser
before the unit can start. This will safeguard against liquid
refrigerant entering the compressors on startup. 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 175033 B-00. It is a “paddle”type switch and adaptable to any pipe size from 1“ to 6“ nominal. Certain minimum
flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in
Table 10. Installation should be as shown in Figure 8. Electrical connections in the unit control center should be made
at terminals 5 and 6. 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“x1” reducing tee (see
Figure 8). The flow arrow must be pointed in the correct
direction.
2. Piping should provide a straight length before and after
R

3. Trim flow switch paddle if needed to fit the pipe diameter.
Make sure paddle does not hang up in pipe.
Caution:Make sure the arrow on the side of the switch is
pointedin the proper directionof flow.
The flow switch is
designed to handle the control voltage and should be connected according to the wiring diagram (see wiring diagram
inside control box door).

The ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-1978 specifies that pressure
relief valves on vessels containing Group 1 refrigerants (R-22)
“shall discharge to the atmosphere at a location not less than
15 feet above the adjoining ground level and not less than
20 feet 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).

WIRING
FIELD WIRING, POWER
The THR TEMPLIFIERS are built standard with compressor
contractors and power terminalblock, designed for single
power supply to unit. Optional power connections include a
non-fused disconnect switch mounted in the control box or
multi-point power connection.
A factory installed control circuit transformeris available
as an option with single power supply or disconnect switch;
it is not available with multi-point option.
Optional circuit breakers are available for backup compressor short circuit protection on 040D thru 110D units and
are standard on all four (4) compressor units 120D thru 170D.
Wiring and conduit selections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or local requirements.
FIELD WIRING, CONTROL
Control circuits on all units are designed for 115 volt operation. A separate source of 20 amp, 115 volt AC power may
be brought to terminals 1 and 14 (terminal 14 on the ground
side) to power the control circuit. On 208 volt power, leads
from any line and neutral of the 208 volt system may be
brought to terminals 1 and 14 to provide 120 volts to the control circuit.
An optional factory mounted transformer is available to pro-
vide the correct control circuit voltage. All models include the
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. Tables in the Electrical
Data section give specific information on recommended wire
sizes.
Unit power inlet wiring must enter the side of the control
box (right side) through an inlet hole provided for field terminating conduit. (Refer to control panel layout drawings for
general location of power inlet and components.)
WARNING: Use only copper conductors in main terminal
block. If the power input conductors are aluminum, use a compression splice to change to copper before terminatingin
block.
necessary factory wiring to power the transformer.
On models THR-040D thru 170D the transformerpower
leads are connected to the power block PBI or disconnect
switch DS1.
Six 1/2° conduit knockout openings are provided for field
wired options and are located on the left side of the control
panel when facing the unit control panel doors.
NOTE: See page 51 for additional information on the con-
trol thermostat.
INTERLOCK WIRING
The control arrangementshown on the wiring diagram will
permit continuousor cycling operation of the source water
pump. Provision has been made to permit source water pump
cycling by the addition of a field supplied relay “MA”and
wiring it between terminals 11 and 16. if relay “MA” is not
added the pump must be wired for continuous operation.
When continuous source water circulationis used, the flow
switch contacts should be tied into the control circuit as shown
on the interlock schematic (see Figure 17).
The condenser water pump must be arranged for con-
tinuous water circulation, otherwise leaving condenser water
– PUMP STARTERS
temperatureswill not be properly controlled.
Condenser water flow switches must be wired into the control circuit as shown on the interlock schematic and depending on the application it may be necessary to install a time
delay relay with timed open contacts connected into the control circuit in parallel with the flow switch to prevent nuisance
tripping.
Whenever the application will permit, continuous water circulation in both the source water and condenser water circuits is preferred and the use of flow switches in both circuits is recommended.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION – THR-040D thru 110D
The followingsequence of operationis typical for THR
TEMPLIFIERHEATPUMP,modelsTHR-040Dthru
THR-110D. The sequence varies somewhat depending upon
options.
HEAT ONLY OPERATION
Compressor Heaters
and the control stop switch S1 open, 115V power is applied
throughthe controlcircuit fuse F1 to the compressor
crankcase heaters HTR1 and HTR2.
Startup —
power is applied to the compressor motor protectors MPI and
MP2 and the primary of the 24V control circuit transformer.
The 24V transformer provides power to the central processor
thermostat CPI and to the optional alarm bell.
When the remote time clock or manual shutdown switch
turns on the water pump, the flow switch closes and 115V
power is applied to the relay contacts on the central processor
CP1.Theunitwillautomaticallyoperateinresponse to the central processor CP1 provided the manual
pumpdown switches PSI and PS2 are closed (in the auto
position), the compressor lockout time delays TD1 and TD2
have closed, energizing the safety relays R5 and R6, and the
freezestats FS1 and FS2, high pressure controls HPI and
HP2, and compressor motor protectors MPI and MP2 do not
sense failure conditions.
On a call for heating, the central processor CP1 energizes
the liquid line solenoid SV1 for refrigerant circuit #1, opening the valve and allowing refrigerant to flow through the expansion valve and into the evaporator. As the evaporator
refrigerant pressure increases, the low pressure control LPI
closes. This energizes the compressor contractors M1 and
M5, starting the compressor. Also, R9 relay is energized. R9
relay is wired to terminals providing a means for interlocking
the pump starter, MA with the compressor operation.See
page 21 for pump control.
As additional stages of heating capacity are required, the
central processor CPI energizes the liquid line solenoid valve
SV2 of refrigerant circuit #2. After the compressor sequencing time delay TD11 has closed, the same starting sequence
is initiated in refrigerant circuit #2.
If additional heating is still required, the central processor
will de-energize the unloader solenoids of each compressor,
respectively.
HEATING/COOLINGOPERATION
Heat/cool units are designed to supply hot water for heating
needs and to allow switching to cooling operation when it is
needed.
The sequence of operation for combinationheating/cooling units is similar to heating only, the difference is in the
thermostat arrangement.On heat/cool models the heating
thermostat“CPI”is still used, but in conjunctionwith a
changeover switch and the addition of a separate cooling thermostat “CP2”.Changeover from heating to cooling operation or cooling to heating is accomplishedby setting the
changeoverswitch for the desired mode to activate the
desired heat or cool thermostat.The thermostatrelay con-
tacts then activate the control circuit whenever compressor
operation and/or loading or unloading is required to satisfy
the thermostat setting for the mode selected.
The heating thermostatcontrols the leaving hot water
temperature leaving the condenser through a sensor located
in the return water to the condenser.
Converselythe coolingthermostatcontrols the water
temperature leaving the evaporator through a sensor located
in the return water, to the evaporator temperature selection

dials inside the thermostats, are used to set the desired leav-
ing water temperatures for either heating or cooling. Seethe
thermostatbulletinpackedwith the unit for additional
information.
Check the applicable 4 or 6 stage heat/cool wiring diagrams
starting on page 39 for specific wiring details.
Pumpdown Cycle System Shutdown — As the central pro-
cessor is satisfied, it will unload the compressorsand then
de-energizethe liquid line solenoid valves SV1 and SV2,
causing the valves to close, starting the pumpdown cycle.
When the compressor has pumped most of the refrigerant
out of the evaporator and into the condenser, the low pressure
controls LPI or LP2 will open, shutting down the compressors. During the off cycle, if a closed solenoid valve allows
refrigerantto leak into the evaporator,the increasein
pressure will cause the low pressure control LPI or LP2 to
close. This will energize the compressor contractors Ml and
M2 and start the compressor,which will quickly pump the
refrigerantout of the evaporatorand into the condenser
(recycling pumpdown).
A compressor which repeats recycling pumpdown every
5 minutes indicates a malfunction due to the temperature control or a system cause. A buildup of heat in the compressor
withoutpropercoolingof suctiongas couldcause a
mechanical failure in the compressor. McQuay recommends
corrective measures be taken if the compressorrecycles
repeatedly within 15-minute intervals.
Safety Relay Operation —
be energized to permit normal operation.If the freezestats
FSI and FS2, high pressure controls HP1 and HP2, oil
pressure controls OP1 and 0P2 or compressormotor pro-
tectors MP1 and MP2 sense a fault condition and open, the
safety relay R5 or R6 will be de-energized.The relay contacts open and de-energize the compressorcontactor and
the liquid line solenoid valve.
CompressorAnti-ShortCycle Time Delay — The unit is
equipped with 5-minute time delay relays TD1 and TD2 which
provide anti-short cycling protection. When low pressure control LP1 closes and energizes Ml compressor contactor, LP1
also energizes R9 which provides power to auxiliary relay MA
for control of a starter for a remote evaporator pump. A second contact on R9 shunts out TD1 opening up TDI. When
LPI opens, cutting power to R9, then compressor #1 cannot
be started until TD1 times out and energizes safety relay R5.
Operation of LP2, TD2, M2, R1O and R6 is similar for opera-
tion of the second compressor.
Note: The motor protector in the compressor terminal box
has a 2-minute time delay. When power is interrupted to terminals 3 and 4 of any motor protector, the MP contacts between MP terminals 1 and 2 open and will not close for two
minutes.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION – THR-120D thru 170D
The followingsequenceof operationis typical for THR
and the control stop switch S1 open, 115V power is applied
throughthe controlcircuit fuse FI to the compressor
crankcase heaters HTRI, HTR2, HTR3, and HTR4.
Startup — With the control stop switch S1 closed, 115V
power is applied to the compressor motor protectors MP1,
MP2, MP3, and MP4 and the primary of the 24V control circuit transformer. The 24V transformer provides power to the
central processor thermostat CP1 and to the optional alarm
bell.
When the remote time clock or manual shutdown switch
turns on the water pump, the flow switch closes and 115V
power is applied to the relay contacts on the central processor
CP1. The unit will automaticallyoperate in response to the
central processor CP1 provided the manual pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 are closed (in the auto position), the compressor lockout time delays TD1 and TD2 have closed,
energizing the safety relays R5 and R6, and the freezestats
FSI and FS2, high pressure controls HPI and HP2, and compressor motor protectors MP1, MP2, MP3, and MP4 do not
sense failure conditions.
On a call for heating, the central processor CP1 energizes
the liquid line solenoid SVI for refrigerant circuit #1, opening the valve and allowing refrigerantto flow through the
expansion valve and into the evaporator refrigerant pressure
increases,the low pressurecontrolLPIcloses. This
energizes the compressor contractors Ml and M5, starting
the compressor. Also, R9 relay is energized. R9 relay is wired
to terminals providing a means for interlockingthe pump
starter MA with the compressoroperation.
As additional stages of capacity are required, the central
processor CP1 energizes the liquid line solenoid valve SV2
of refrigerant circuit #2. After the compressor sequencing time
delay TDI 1 has closed,the same startingsequence
is initiated in refrigerant circuit #2.
If additional heating is still required, the central processor
will activate additional cylinders on the lead compressor of
each system or activate compressors #3 and #4, depending
on the load requirementsand the capacity control stops
available on the unit.
Pumpdown Cycle System Shutdown — As the central pro-
cessor is satisfied, it will cut off compressor #4 and #3, then
unload compressors #2 and #1, and finally de-energize the
liquid line solenoid valves SV1 and SV2, causing the valves
to close. When the compressorhas pumped most of the
refrigerantout of the evaporatorand into the con-
denser, the low pressure controls LP1 or LP2 will open, shutting down the compressors.In the event a closed solenoid
valve allows refrigerant to leak into the evaporator, the increase in pressure will cause the low pressure control LPI
or LP2 to close. This will energize the compressor contractorsMl and M2 and start the compressor, which will quickly
pump the refrigerant out of the evaporator and into the condenser (recycling pumpdown).
A compressor which repeats recycling pumpdown every
5 minutes indicates a malfunction due to the temperature control or a system cause. A buildup of heat in the compressor
withoutpropercoolingof suctiongas could cause a
mechanical failure in the compressor. McQuay recommends

Safety Relay Operation —
The safety relays R5 and R6 must
be energized to permit normal operation. If the freezestats
FSI and FS2, high pressure controls HPI and HP2, oil
pressure controls OP1 and 0P2 or compressor motor protectors MP1 and MP2 sense a fault condition and open, the
safety relay R5 or R6 will be de-energized.The relay contacts open and de-energize the compressor contactor and
the liquid line solenoid valve. Safety relays
R7 and R8 pro-
vide a similar function for compressors #3 and #4.
Compressor Anti-Short Cycle Time Delay — The unit is
equipped with 5-minute time delay relays TD1, TD2, TD3 and
TD4 which provide anti-short cycling protection. When low
pressure control LPI closes and energizes Ml compressor
contactor, LPI also energizes R9 which provides power to
auxiliary relay MA for control of a starter for a remote pump.
A second contact on R9 shunts out TD1 opening up TD1.
When LP1 opens, cutting power to R9, then compressor #1
cannot be started until TDI times out and energizes safety
relay R5.
Operation of LP2, TD2, M2, RIO, R6 and Ml is similar for
operation of the second compressor.
Note: The motor protector in the compressor terminal box
has a 2-minute time delay. When power is interrupted to terminals 3 and 4 of any motor protector, the MP contacts between MP terminals 1 and 2 open and will not close for two

SYSTEMMAINTENANCE
To assure smooth operation at peak capacity and to avoid
damage to package components,a program of periodic inspections should be set up and followed. The following items
are intended as a guide to be used during inspectionand
must be combinedwith sound refrigerationand electrical
practices to assure trouble-freeperformance.
The liquid line sightglasslmoistureindicator 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 may tend to foul the water
cooled condenser to the point where cleaning is necessary.
The fouled condenser will be indicated by an abnormally high
condensing pressure and may result in nuisance tripouts. To
clean the condenser, a chemical descaling solution should
be used according to the manufacturer’sdirections.
CONTROL CENTER ELECTRICAL SERVICE
The electrical control center is relatively easy to service since
indicator lights are provided to show unit status. Determine
that the problemis actually in the control panel before
proceeding.
By referring to the schematic wiring diagrams, the trouble
can be isolated to a particular section of the panel.
WARNING: Warranty is voided if field wiring is not in accordance with specifications. A blown fuse or tripped protector
indicates a short ground or overload. Before replacing a fuse
or restarting a 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 con-
trols can cause serious damage to equipment and void the
warranty.

NOTE: A normal pressure drop through the solenoid valve
is approximately3 psig at full load conditions.
The following steps should be taken prior to attempting any
service on the control center:
1. Study the wiring diagramso that you understandthe
operation of the TEMPLIFIER.
2. Before investigatingtrouble in the control center, check
for burned out pilot lights by testing across the appropriate

CAUTION: Electric shock hazard. Turn off all power before continuingwith following service.
All power electrical terminals should be retightenedevery six months, as they tend to loosen
in service due to normal heating and cooling of the wire.
COMPRESSOROIL LEVEL
The oil level should be watched carefully upon initial startup
and for sometime thereafter.
At the present time, Suniso No. 3GS, Calumet RO15, and
Texaco WF32 oils are approved by Copeland for use in these
compressors. The oil level should be maintained at about onethird of the sightglass on the compressor body.
Oil may be added to the Copeland compressor through the
oil fill hole in the crankcase. To add oil, isolate the crankcase
and pour or pump in the necessary oil. If the system contains
no refrigerant,no special precautionsare necessary other
than keeping the oil clean and
dry.
If the system contains a refrigerant charge, close the suc-
“tion valve and reduce crankcase pressure to 1 to 2 psig. Stop
the compressorand close the discharge valve.
Add the required amount of oil. During the period the com-
pressor is exposed to the atmosphere,the refrigerantwill
generate a vapor pressure, retarding the entrance of contaminants.Before resealingthe compressor,purge the
crankcase by opening the suction valve slightly for 1 or 2
seconds. Close the oil port, open the compressor valves and
restore the system to operation.

THERMOSTATICEXPANSION VALVE
The expansion valve is responsible for allowing the proper
amount of refrigerant to enter the evaporator regardless of
cooling load. It does this by maintaining a constant superheat.
(Superheat is the difference between refrigerant temperature
as it leaves the evaporator and the saturation temperature
corresponding to the evaporator pressure.) All TEMPLIFIERS
are factory set for between 80 F and 120 F superheat, at leaving source water temperaturesnear the maximum allowed,
superheats can be expected to rise above this setting. If it
is necessary to increase the superheat setting of the valve,
remove the cap at the bottom of the valve to expose the ad-
justment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (when viewed from
the adjustment screw end) to increase the superheat and
counterclockwiseto reduce superheat. Allow time for system
rebalance after each superheat adjustment.
Unit operation near the maximum leaving source water
temperatureon a TEMPLIFIERunit can trigger the “Max-
imum Operating Pressure” (MOP) characteristic built into the
units expansionvalves. At higherleaving source water
temperaturesand loads, the “MOP” will occur when the ex-
pansion valve and control bulb pressure reaches a predeter-
mined maximum value. Further increases in bulb temperature
above the “MOP”point causes virtually no increase in bulb
pressure. As a result adequate increases in refrigerant flow
to the evaporator are no longer possible, and the ability of
the unit to handle increases in load is limited. Once the
“MOP” for the expansion valve is reached. increases in suction superheat can be expected
source water temperature.
near the maximum leaving
The expansion valve, like the solenoid valve, should not
normally require replacement,but if it does, the unit must
be pumped down by following the steps involved when changing a filter-drier.
If the problem can be traced to the power element only,
it can be unscrewed from the valve body without removing
the valve, but only after pumping the unit down.
WARNING: Adjustment of expansion valve should only be
performed by a qualified service technician.

EVAPORATOR
The evaporator is of the direct expansion, shell-and-tube type
with refrigerant flowing through the tubes and water flowing
through the shell over the tubes. The tubes are internally
finned to provide extended surface as well as turbulent flow
of refrigerant through the tubes. Normally no service work
is required on the evaporator. There may be instances where
a tube will leak refrigerant into the water side of the system.
In the cases where only one or two tubes leak, the problem
can best be solved by plugging the tube at both ends. When
the tube must be replaced, the old tube can be removed and
replaced.
To remove a tube, the unit should be temporarily pumped
down. Follow the steps involved when changing a filter-drier.
These steps will insure a minimum amount of refrigerant loss
when the evaporator is opened up. The tubes are mechan-
ically expanded into the tube sheets (see Figure 23) at each
end of the cooler. In order to remove the tubes, it is necessary
to break this bond by collapsing the tube. After doing this
at both ends of the shell, the tube can be removed for replacement. The new tube can then be inserted and re-expanded
into the tube sheet.
NOTE:
The bond produced by expansion must be refrigerant
tight. This bond must be produced by applying Locktite (red)
to the tube and rolling it into the tube sheet.
After re-assemblingthe evaporator,a small amountof
refrigerant should be introduced by momentarily opening the
manual liquid line valve. A leak check should then be performed on the evaporator.
Tube removal can only take place after the leaking tube
is located. One method that would work would be to subject
each tube to air pressure by plugging each end and, with a
pressure gauge attached to one of the end plugs, observing
if there is a loss of air pressure over a period of a minute or
two.
Another method is to place a cork plug in each tube on
both ends of the cooler and applying pressure to the shell
of the cooler. After a period of time, the pressure will leak
from the shell into the leaking tube or tubes and pop out the
cork plug.

IN-WARRANTYRETURN MATERIALPROCEDURE
COMPRESSOR
Copeland Refrigeration Corporation has stocking wholesalers
who maintain a stock of replacement compressors and service parts to serve refrigerationcontractorsand service
personnel.
When a compressor fails in warranty, contact your local
sales representative,or the McQuay International Warranty
Claims Department at the address on the back cover of this
bulletin. You will be authorized to exchange the defective
compressor at a Copeland wholesaler, or an advance replacement can be obtained. A credit is issued you by the wholesaler
for the returned compressor after Copeland factory inspection of the inoperative compressor. If that compressor is out
of Copeland’swarranty, a salvage credit only is allowed.
Page 50 I IM 377
Provide McQuay with full details; i.e., McQuay unit model and
unit serial numbers. Include the invoice and the salvage value
credit memo copies and we will reimburse the difference. In
this transaction, be certain that the compressor is definitely
defective, If a compressor is received from the field that tests
satisfactorily,a service charge plus a transportationcharge
will be charged against its original credit value.
On all out-of-warrantycompressor failures, Copeland offers the same field facilities for service and/or replacement
as described above. The credit issued by Copeland on the
returned compressor will be determined by the repair charge
established for that particular unit.

The thermostatssuppliedon all Templifiersare factory
calibrated for use in the return water line to the condensers
inlet. The thermostat bulb is installed in a well in the return
water line in order to be more stable under temperature
changes due to load conditions. The return water does not
change temperatureas rapidly as the outlet because of the
“flywheeleffect” of the total water system. This results in
stable control of the outlet water temperature.Normally the
.
thermostat requires no adjustment in the field other than the
dial setting for the required control point. The control will maintain an average leaving water temperaturecorrespondingto
dial setpoint (SPA) throughout the loading and unloading sequence of the unit. It should be realized, however, that there
cycles, unloads and loads.
The throttling range is adjustable from 1“F to 3° F per output relay via the TRA dial and is factory set at 3F. The control setpoint is adjustable from 120F to 150F via the SPA
dial and is field set to meet application. The ambient operating
temperaturelimits of the control is from 0Fto 140” F.
Although the central processor CPI is calibrated at the factory, it may be necessary to re-calibrate the control should
any changes in unit operation be made in the field. Refer to

which senses the differentialbetween oil pressure at the
discharge of the compressor oil pump and suction pressure
inside the compressorcrankcase.When the oil pressure
reaches approximately15 psi above the crankcase suction
pressure, the pressure actuated contact of the control opens
from its normally closed position. If this pressure differential
cannot be developed, the contact will remain closed and
energize a heater element within the control. The heater element warms a normally closed bimetallic contact and causes
the contact to open, de-energizing a safety relay and breaking power to the compressor.
It takes about 120 seconds to warm the heater element
enough to open the bimetallic contact, thus allowing time for

If during operation, the differential drops below 10 psi, the
heater element will be energized and the compressorwill
stop. The control can be reset by pushing the reset button
on the control. If the compressor does not restart, allow a few
minutes for the heater elements and bimetallic contacts to
cool and reset the control again.
To check the control, pump down and shut off all power
to the unit. Open the circuit breakers or the fused discon-
nect for that compressor and install a voltmeter between ter-
minals L and M of the oil pressure control. Turn on power
to the unit control circuit (separate disconnect or main unit
disconnect depending on the type of installation).Check to
see that the control stop switch S1 is in the “on” position.
The control circuit should not be energized,but with the
absence of compressor power, no oil pressure differential can
develop and thus the pressure actuated contacts of the control will energize the heater element and open the bimetallic
contacts of the control within 120 seconds. When this hap-
pens, the safety relay is de-energized, the voltmeter reading
will rise to 115V, and the compressor contactor should open.
Repeated operations of the control will cause a slight heat
buildup in the bimetallic contacts resulting in a slightly longer
time for reset with each successive operation.

LOW PRESSURE CONTROL
The low pressure control is a single pole pressure switch that
closes on a pressure rise. The control senses evaporator
pressure and must be set to suit unit application, refer to the
nominal low pressure setting table for approximate control setting. To check the control (unit must be running), move the
pumpdown switch(es) PSI and PS2 to the “manual pumpdown”position.As the compressorpumps down, the
evaporator pressure will drop. The lowest evaporator pressure
reached before cutout is the cutout setting of the control. Wait
for the compressor lockout time delays TD1 and TD2 to time
out, By moving the pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the
FREEZESTAT
The freezestat is a pressure type control connected to the low
side of the system and is set to shut down the system when
the pressure drops low enough to be dangerous as far as
cooler freeze-up is concerned. The control must be set to suit
unit application,refer to nominal freezestat setting table for
approximate control setting. When dropping to this point, the
normally open pressure actuated contacts of this control will
close, energizing a 115 volt heater. This causes the normally
closed bimetallic relay switch of this control to open after a
delay of approximately 60 seconds or less, stopping the com-
pressor and closing the liquid line solenoid valve. The time
delay prevents nuisance trip-out on momentary low suction
pressure and permits the operation of the system on a ‘pumpdown “cycle.”
The control must be checked while the system is operating.
To check the control, install a voltmeter or neon test light

There should be a voltage indication or the test light will glow,
indicating the contacts are opened. Throw the pumpdown
switch to the manual position and check the pressure at which
the test light goes out or the voltmeter goes to zero. In actual
operation, the compressor will shut down and the safety light
will go out. The control can be manually reset in about 2
minutes.

Part winding start is available on all units and consists of a
solid-state time delay wired in series with the contactor that
energizes the second winding of each compressor motor. Its
purpose is to limit current inrush to the compressorsupon
startup. As each compressor starts, the contactor of the first
motor winding is delayed for 1 second.
Control checkout is best accomplishedby observation as
each contactor is pulled in to see that the 1 second delay
occurs before the second contactor pulls in.
PHASE/VOLTAGEMONITOR (OPTIONAL)
The phase/voltagemonitor is a device which provides pro-
tection against three-phase electrical motor loss due to power
failure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal, Whenever
any of these conditions occur, an output relay is deactivated,
disconnectingpower to the thermostaticcontrol circuit. The
compressor will automaticallypump down.
The output relay remains deactivated until power line con-
ditions return to an acceptable level. Trip and reset delays
have been provided to prevent nuisance tripping due to rapid
power fluctuations.
When three-phase power has been applied, the output relay
should close and the “run light” should come on. If the out-

put relay does not close, perform the following tests.
i.
Check the voltages between LI—L2, L1—L3-and L2—L3.
These voltages should be approximatelyequal and within
+ 10% of the rated three-phaseline-to-line voltage.
2.
If these voltagesare extremelylow or widely unbalanced, check the power system to determine the cause
of the problem.
3.
If the voltages are good, turn off the power and interchange
any two of the supply power leads at the disconnect.
This may be necessary as the phase/voltagemonitor
is sensitive to phase reversal. Turn on the power. The out-
put relay should now close after the appropriatedelay.
(OPTIONAL)
Neulral
This option is available and is factory installed with a 24 volt
alarm bell which can be remotely mounted. The bell is wired
into the control circuit so that it will sound whenever there
is a failure due to an abnormal low pressure condition in the
evaporator, excessive head pressure, motor overheatingor
low oil pressure. Page 25 shows location of bell in back of
the control box.

LOW SOURCE WATER UNOLADING CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
The low source water unloading senses the temperatureof
evaorator return water and partially unloads one or both compressor circuits. The control has an adjustable OF to 100F
temperaturerange with 3° F switch differential.
The purpose of the control is to prevent overcooking the
source water, which will result in low suction pressure at the
compressor.Low suction pressure with the compressor at
full load could result in damage to the compressor. A setpoint
is recommendedfor the low source water thermostatof
HOT GAS BYPASS (OPTIONAL)
This option allows passage of discharge gas to the evaporator
permitting operation at lower loads than available with compressor unloading, It also keeps the velocity of refrigerant gas
high enough for proper oil return at light load conditions. A
solenoid valve in the hot gas bypass line is wired in parallel
with the compressor unloader U1. Thus, the hot gas solenoid
cannot open unless the compressor is operating in an unloaded mode. If only one hot gas valve is specified for the unit,
the hot gas bypass is wired in the first refrigerant circuit and
the lead-lag switches are therefore eliminated. The hot gas
bypass option is also available for the second refrigerant circuit whereby the lead-lag switches remain.
The pressure regulating valve is factory set to begin open-
ing at 58 psig (32”F for R-22). This setting can be changed
approximately10° F to 15° F below the design return water
temperature.The unit is shipped from the factory with the
control sensor clamped to the side of the return water line
neat the cooler connection. (See Figure 7 page 12). To check
the control, the system should be operating at full load conditions. By slowly turning the dial setting up, the control should
partially unload one compressor circuit. By continuing to dial
the setting up, the second compressor circuit should unload
dependingon what the interstage differentialis set at.
by changing the pressure of the air charge in the adjustable
bulb. To raise the pressure setting, remove the cap on the
bulb and turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To lower the
setting, turn the screw counterclockwise.Do not force the ad-
justment beyond the range it is designedfor, as this will
damage the adjustment assembly.
The regulating valve opening point can be determined by
slowly reducing the system load while observing the suction
pressure, When the bypass valve starts to open, the refrigerant
line on the evaporator side of the valve will begin to feel warm
to the touch.
Caution:The hot gas line may become hot enough to cause
injury in a very short time: care should be taken during valve
checkout.
