General Description
Daikin McQuay Magnitude model WME frictionless centrifugal chillers are complete, self-contained, automatically controlled fluid chilling units. Each unit is completely assembled and factory tested before shipment. Model WME is cooling-only.
Each Magnitude Model WME unit features one compressor connected to a condenser and evaporator. The chillers use refrigerant R-134a to reduce the size and weight of the package compared to negative pressure refrigerants and since R-134a operates at a positive pressure over the entire operation range, no purge system is required. The controls are pre-wired, adjusted and tested. Only normal field connections such as piping, electrical and interlocks, etc. are required, thereby simplifying installation and increasing reliability. Most necessary equipment protections and operating controls are factory-installed in the control panel.
The chillers are designed for indoor, non-freezing locations. If indoor freezing temperatures are possible, special procedures
Figure 2: Nomenclature
described in this manual must be followed to drain the unit. Outdoor locations require a special weatherproof design. For WME chillers selected with optional Retrofit Knockdown, refer to IM Knockdown, available on www.daikinmcquay.com for detailed dimensions and installation instructions.
Application
The procedures presented in this manual apply to standard Model WME chillers. Refer to the Operating Manual, OMM 1034 for detailed information about chiller operation and the MicroTech-E unit controller.
All Daikin McQuay centrifugal chillers are factory tested prior to shipment and must be initially started at the job site by a factory trained McQuay service technician. Failure to follow this startup procedure can affect the equipment warranty.
The standard limited warranty on this equipment covers parts that prove defective in material or workmanship. Specific details of this warranty can be found in the warranty statement furnished with the equipment.

Receiving and Handling
The unit should be inspected immediately after receipt for possible damage.
All Daikin McQuay centrifugal water chillers are shipped FOB factory and all claims for handling and shipping damage are the responsibility of the consignee.
Insulation corners from the evaporator's rigging hole locations are shipped loose and should be glued in place after the unit is finally placed. Neoprene vibration pads are also shipped loose. Check that these items have been delivered with the unit.
If so equipped, leave the shipping skid in place until the unit is in its final position. This will aid in handling the equipment.
Extreme care must be used when rigging the equipment to prevent damage to the control panels or refrigerant piping. See the certified dimension drawings included in the job submittal for the center of gravity of the unit. Consult the local Daikin McQuay sales office for assistance if the drawings are not available.
The unit can be lifted by fastening the rigging hooks to the four outside corners of the unit where the rigging eyes are located. Lengthwise and crossway spreader bars must be used between the rigging lines to prevent damage to the control panels, piping and especially the large Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) power panel located at one end of the unit. See
Figure 1, page 4.
outside edge of the feet. Most Model WME units have six mounting feet although only the outer four are required. Six pads are shipped and the installer can place pads under the middle feet if desired.
Mounting
Make sure that the floor or structural support is adequate to support the full operating weight of the unit.
It is usually not necessary to bolt the unit to the mounting slab or framework; but should this be desirable, 1 1/8" (28.5 mm) mounting holes are provided in the unit support at the four
corners.
CAUTION
Note: Units are shipped with refrigerant valves closed to isolate the refrigerant for shipment. Valves must remain closed until start-up by the McQuay technician.
Nameplates
There are several identification nameplates on the chiller:
"The unit nameplate is located on the side of the VFD panel. This plate also lists the unit refrigerant charge, electrical data and the unit model number and serial number, which should be used when communicating with McQuay International.
"Vessel nameplates are located on the evaporator and condenser. Along with other information, they have a National Board Number (NB) and serial number, either of which identifies the vessel (but not the entire unit).
Location and Mounting
The unit must be mounted on a level concrete or steel base and must be located to provide service clearance at one end of the unit for possible removal of evaporator tubes and/or condenser tubes. The length of the vessel should be allowed at one end for this purpose. Doors or removable wall sections can be utilized for tube clearance. Evaporator and condenser tubes are rolled into the tube sheets to permit replacement if necessary. Minimum clearance at all other points, including the top, is 3 feet (1 meter) unless greater clearance is required by other codes or job conditions. The National Electric Code (NEC) can require four feet or more clearance in and around electrical components and must be checked.
Location
The WME chillers are intended only for installation in an indoor or weather protected area consistent with the NEMA 1 rating on the chiller, controls, and electrical panels. Equipment room temperature for operating and standby conditions is 40°F to 122°F (4.4°C to 50°C).
Vibration Pads
The shipped-loose neoprene vibration pads should be located under the corners of the unit (unless the job specifications state otherwise). They are installed to be flush with the sides and
"A compressor nameplate is located on the compressor itself and contains identification numbers.

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. Note: Water volumes can be found in the Physical Data tables on page 27.

Condenser Water Temperature
Figure 3: MODEL WME Minimum Entering Condenser Water Temperature (EXV) (10 F Range at Full Load)
When the ambient wet bulb temperature is lower than design, the entering condenser water temperature of Magnitude model WME chillers can be lowered to improve chiller performance.
Chillers can start with entering condenser water temperatures as low as 40°F (4.4°C). For short periods of time during startup, the entering condenser water temperature can even be lower than the leaving chilled water temperature.
Magnitude model WME chillers are equipped with electronic expansion valves (EXV) and will run with entering condenser water temperatures as low as shown in Figure 2 or as calculated from the following equation on which the curves are based:
MECWT = 5.25+(LWT)-0.75*DTFL*(PLD/100)+14 *(PLD/100)2
Figure 4 illustrates two temperature-actuated tower bypass
arrangements. The "Cold Weather" scheme provides better startup under cold ambient air temperature conditions. The bypass valve and piping are indoors and thus warmer, allowing for warmer water to be immediately available to the condenser. The check valve may be required to prevent air at the pump inlet.
Figure 4: Possible Bypass Arrangements
Where:
MECWT = Min entering condenser water temperature
LWT = Leaving chilled water temperature
DTFL = Chilled Water Delta-T at full load
PLD = The percent chiller load point to be checked
For example; at 44°F LWT, 10°F Delta-T at full load, and 50% full load operation, the entering condenser water temperature could be as low as 49°F. This provides excellent operation with water-side economizer systems.
Depending on local climatic conditions, using the lowest possible entering condenser water temperature may be more costly in total system power consumed than the expected savings in chiller power would suggest, due to the excessive fan power required.
In this scenario, cooling tower fans would continue to operate at 100% capacity at low wet bulb temperatures. The trade-off between better chiller efficiency and fan power should be analyzed for best overall system efficiency. McQuay's Energy Analyzer program can optimize the chiller/tower operation for specific buildings in specific locales.
Even with tower fan control, some form of water flow control, such as tower bypass, is recommended.
6 IM 1033-3
Condenser water temperature control
The standard MicroTech controller is capable of three stages of tower fan control plus an analog control of either a three-way tower-bypass valve or variable speed tower-fan motor. Stages are controlled from condenser-water temperature. The three­way valve can be controlled to a different water temperature or track the current tower stage. This allows optimum chilled water plant performance based upon specific job requirements.
Pumps
The condenser water pump(s) must be cycled off when the last compressor of the system cycles off. This will keep cold condenser water from migrating refrigerant to the condenser. Cold liquid refrigerant in the condenser can make start-up difficult. In addition, turning off the condenser water pump(s) when the chillers are not operating will conserve energy.
Include thermometers and pressure gauges at the chiller inlet and outlet connections and install air vents at the high points of piping. Where noise and vibration are critical and the unit is

mounted on spring isolators, flexible piping and conduit connections are necessary.
Variable Fluid Flow Rates and Tube Velocities
Many chiller system control and energy optimization strategies require significant changes in evaporator and condenser water flow rates. The Magnitude model WME chiller line is particularly well suited to take full advantage of these energy saving opportunities provided that the maximum and minimum fluid flow rates are taken into consideration for a specific application. The sales engineer has the flexibility to use different combinations of shell size, number of tubes, and pass arrangements to select the optimum chiller for each specific application.
Both excessively high and excessively low fluid flow rates should be avoided. Excessively high fluid flow rates and correspondingly high tube velocities will result in high fluid pressure drops, high pumping power, and potentially tube corrosion and or tube corrosion damage. Excessively low fluid flow rates and correspondingly low velocities should also be avoided as they will result in poor heat transfer, high compressor power, sedimentation and tube fouling. Excessively high and low tube velocities can be particularly problematic and damaging in open loop systems.
Rates of Fluid Flow Change
If it is decided to vary the evaporator water flow rate the rate of change should not exceed 50% per minute and should not exceed the minimum or maximum velocity limits as determined by the Daikin McQuay chiller software program.
Vibration Mounting
The Magnitude model WME chillers are almost vibration-free. Consequently, floor mounted spring isolators are not usually required. Rubber mounting pads are shipped with each unit. It is wise to continue to use piping flexible connectors to reduce sound transmitted into the pipe and to allow for expansion and contraction.
A properly designed storage tank should be added if the system components do not provide sufficient water volume.
System Analysis
The McQuay Energy Analyzer program is an excellent tool to investigate the entire system efficiency, quickly and accurately. It is especially good at comparing different system types and operating parameters. Contact your local Daikin McQuay sales office for assistance on your particular application.

Water Piping

Vessel Drains at Start-up
Unit vessels are drained of water in the factory and are shipped with the drain plugs in the heads removed and stored in the control panel or with open ball valves in the drain hole. Be sure to replace plugs or close the valves prior to filling the vessel with fluid.
Evaporator and Condenser Water Piping
All evaporators and condensers come standard with ANSI/ AWWA C-606 grooved nozzles (also suitable for welding), or optional flange connections. The installing contractor must provide matching mechanical connections or transitions of the
size and type required.
CAUTION
If welding is to be performed on the mechanical or flange connections, remove temperature sensors and thermal dispersion flow switch from the nozzles to prevent damage to those components. Also properly ground the unit or severe damage to the MicroTech E unit controller can occur.
Water pressure gauge connection taps and gauges must be provided in the field piping at the inlet and outlet connections of both vessels for measuring the water pressure drops. The pressure drops and flow rates for the various evaporators and condensers are job specific and the original job documentation can be consulted for this information.
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
Be sure that water inlet and outlet connections match certified drawings and stenciled nozzle markings. The condenser is connected with the coolest water entering at the bottom to
maximize subcooling.

CAUTION
Freeze Notice: Neither the evaporator nor the condenser is self-draining; Both must be blown out to help avoid damage from freezing.
The piping should also include thermometers at the inlet and outlet connections and air vents at the high points.
The water heads can be interchanged (end for end) so that the water connections can be made at either end of the unit. If this is done, new head gaskets must be used and control sensors relocated.
In cases where the water pump noise can be objectionable, vibration isolation sections are recommended at both the inlet and outlet of the pump. In most cases, it will not be necessary to provide vibration eliminator sections in the condenser inlet and outlet water lines. But they can be required where noise and vibration are critical.
Mechanical Clamped Couplings
Use the following steps when installing clamped couplings:
1.Check for smooth pipe between the pipe end and the groove. Remove any indentations, projections, or weld seams. Failure to do this can result in a leaking joint.
bleed-off is operating. Atmospheric air contains many contaminants, which increases the need for water treatment.
CAUTION
The use of untreated water will result in corrosion, erosion, slime buildup, scaling, or algae formation. Water treatment service must be used. McQuay International is not responsible for damage or faulty operation from untreated or improperly treated water.
Special care must be taken when utilizing open system water that is usually not treated (such as lakes, rivers, and ponds). Special tube and water head material may be required to reduce damage from corrosion.
Flow Switches
Factory-mounted thermal dispersion flow switches are provided as standard..
An additional paddle-type flow switch can be installed in the vessel outlet piping as an added precaution to signal the presence of adequate water flow to the vessels before the unit can start. They also serve to shut down the unit in the event that water flow is interrupted to guard against evaporator freeze-up or excessive discharge pressure. They are not necessary for unit operation.

2.Apply a thin coat of Victaulic or silicon lubricant to the gasket lips and exterior.
3.Position the gasket over the pipe end without overhanging the pipe.
4.Join the pipes together and slide the gasket into position, centering it between the groves.
5.Install the housing halves over the gasket, making sure that the housing' keys engage the groves on both pipes.
6.Install the bolts and thread the nuts on hand tight. Make sure that the oval heads of the bolts seat properly in the bolt holes.
7.Tighten the nuts evenly by alternating sides until metal to metal contact is made on the housing bolt pads. Make sure that the housing keys completely engage the pipe grooves.

Field Insulation Guide
Factory insulation is an available option (0.75" or 1.5"). If field insulated, the following components should be insulated to prevent condensation on Magnitude model WME chillers.
The piping should also include thermometers at the inlet and outlet connections and air vents at the high points.
The water heads can be interchanged (end for end) so that the water connections can be made at either end of the unit. If this is done, new head gaskets must be used and control sensors relocated.
In cases where the water pump noise can be objectionable, vibration isolation sections are recommended at both the inlet and outlet of the pump. In most cases, it will not be necessary to provide vibration eliminator sections in the condenser inlet and outlet water lines. But they can be required where noise and vibration are critical.
System Pumps
Operation of the chilled water pump can be to:
1 Cycle the pump with the unit enable
2 Operate continuously
3 Start automatically by a remote source
The cooling tower pump must cycle with the compressor. The holding coil of the cooling tower pump motor starter must be rated at 115 volts, 60 Hz, with a maximum volt-amperage rating of 100. A control relay is required if the voltage­amperage rating is exceeded. See the Field Wiring Diagram or in the cover of control panel for proper connections.

As a safety precaution and to meet code requirements, each chiller is equipped with pressure relief valves located on the condenser and evaporator vessels for the purpose of relieving excessive refrigerant pressure (caused by equipment malfunction, fire, etc.) to the atmosphere. Most codes require that relief valves be vented to the outside of a building, and this is a desirable practice for all installations. Relief piping connections to the relief valves must have flexible connectors.
Whenever vent piping is installed, the lines must be run in accordance with local code requirements; where local codes do not apply, the latest issue of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 code recommendations must be followed.
Condensers have two relief valves as a set with a three-way valve separating the two valves (large condensers will have two such sets). One valve remains active at all times and the
second valve acts as a standby. Note: Remove plastic shipping plugs (if installed) from the inside of the valves prior to making pipe connections.

Refrigerant Vent Piping
Twin relief valves mounted on a transfer valve are used on the condenser so that one relief valve can be shut off and removed, leaving the other in operation. Only one of the two is in operation at any time.
Vent piping is sized for only one valve of the set since only one can be in operation at a time. In no case would a combination of evaporator and condenser sizes require more refrigerant than the pumpdown capacity of the condenser. Condenser pumpdown capacities are based on the current ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 15 that recommends 90% full at 90°F (32°C). To convert values to the older AHRI standard, multiply pumpdown capacity by 0.888.
Sizing Vent Piping (ASHRAE Method)
Relief valve pipe sizing is based on the discharge capacity for the given evaporator or condenser and the length of piping to be run. Discharge capacity for R-134a vessels is calculated using a complicated equation that accounts for equivalent length of pipe, valve capacity, Moody friction factor, pipe ID, outlet pressure and back pressure. The formula, and tables derived from it, are contained in ASHRAE Standard 15-2001.
Using the ASHRAE formula and basing calculations on the 225 psi design yields a conservative pipe size, which is summarized in Tabl e 3. The table gives the pipe size required
per relief valve. When valves are piped together, the common
piping must follow the rules set out in the following paragraph
on common piping.

NOTE: A 1-inch pipe is too small for the flow from the valves.
A pipe increaser must always be installed at the valve outlet.
Common Relief Valve Piping
According to ASHRAE Standard 15, the pipe size cannot be
less than the relief valve outlet size. The discharge from more
than one relief valve can be run into a common header, the
area of which cannot be less than the sum of the areas of the
connected pipes. For further details, refer to ASHRAE
Standard 15. The common header can be calculated by the
formula:

Electrical Data

Wiring, fuse and wire size must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC).
Important: 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. This is an important restriction that must be adhered to.
Power Wiring
Power entrance is on top of the enclosure. Remove cover plate when making hole to avoid entrance of foreign material into the enclosure.
Power connection lug size is 3/0 AWG - 500kcmil, three conductors per phase
The ground connection is a stand-off adjacent to the circuit breaker, marked "MGND". Field provide a 3/8-16 x ¾ in. screw with a flat washer and lock washer and appropriate "O"
terminal.
CAUTION
Qualified and licensed electricians must perform wiring. Shock hazard exists.
Electrical Data
CAUTION
Connections to terminals must be made with copper lugs and copper wire..
Use only copper supply wires with ampacity based on 75°C conductor rating. (Exception: for equipment rated over 2000 volts, 90°C or 105°C rated conductors should be used).
The VFD nameplate will indicate the RLA setting required in the MicroTech-E controller. The RLA setting is for the VFD output amps not the input amps. Follow name plate values for output RLA.
Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Do not use power factor correction capacitors with WME chillers. They can cause harmful electrical resonance in the system. Correction capacitors are not necessary since VFDs inherently maintain high power factors.
Control Wiring
The control circuit power on Magnitude model WME chillers is supplied by the unit-mounted VFD.
