Features and Benefits

MAC units are high thermodynamic engineering products, studied with accuracy in balancing compressors,
condensers and evaporators in order to offer the best performances and wide safety margins. All the materials and
equipments have been chosen without compromising the quality and life expectancy of the product.

Modular Design
The McQuays modular chillers have been designed in such a way that different loads could be satisfied due to
the combinations of these units. The largest combination is 6 modules of the same model (combinations of
different models are not allowed). They are very convenient when transportation and installation become major
issues.

Working Reliability
Each module has two circuits, two compressors and one controller. As the capacity is increased by means of
adding modules, the number of controllers, circuits and compressors are going to increase in the same way;
resulting in a very reliable product.

Low Installation Cost
The complete assembly of the units and function testing at the factory reduce the cost of installation on site. A
rigid steel base with built-in access lifting points distributes the weight of the unit to the support points and
allows simple installation. Also the possibility of transporting and lifting to the site each unit separately reduces
the initial mechanical installation.
These units modular design have the flexibility of future capacity increases, allowing accommodating the initial
cost to the minimum demands requirements.

Low Operating Costs -- High Efficiency Operation
The MAC chillers use Copeland scroll compressor design and large heat exchangers for maximum heat transfer.
Generous heat transfer area translates into lower compressor pumping head and improved efficiency. In order
to give optimum thermal insulation the complete heat exchanger is insulated with thermal closed cell nitric
rubber foam.

Robust Cage Design
These units are built with a very strong frame design allowing them to withstand the most severe weather
adversities. Handling and installing these units become a simpler process due to the strong configuration of its
components.

Factory Testing
Each unit is pressure and vacuum tested, evacuated and charged with refrigerant. It is then run at the factorys
test bench under the possible application scenarios that the unit will be facing in real life. Before shipment, each
unit is re-checked for pressure and refrigerant charge control.

General Specifications
Compressor
McQuay Modular Air Cooled Chillers are equipped with highly efficient Copelands Compliant Scroll
compressors. These rugged hermetic compressors are constructed with an integral cast iron frame, cast iron
scrolls, three Teflon impregnated bearings, and three oil filtration devices for each compressor. Using
Copeland's Compliant Scroll compressors provides two to twelve steps of capacity modulation depending on
system load and number of modules. One through up to twelve compressors can run, depending on the load of
the system, resulting in excellent part-load efficiency. Each refrigerant circuit has specially designed oil and gas
equalization lines to control oil migration. The design also offers radial and axial compliance (no tip seals), a
large internal volume for liquid handling, a removable suction screen, and a rotary dirt trap and oil screen. In
addition, the compressor is self-compensating for wear, handles moderate liquid slugging, and inherently yields
the high efficiency. This well protected compressor includes a solid-state motor protection module, 4 individual
motor winding sensors, a patented internal discharge temperature probe, and a patented shutdown feature that
prevents reverse rotation. An internal discharge check valve helps prevent shutdown noise and comes standard
with high and low pressure taps with Schrader valves, a sight glass, an oil level adjustment valve, and an off
cycle crankcase heater. Units are available in 50 and 60 Hertz with voltage configurations from 208 to 460
volts, operating at 3550 RPM.

Air-cooled Condenser
The two air cooled condenser coils with V-shaped consist of staggered rows of 3/8" OD seamless copper tube,
mechanically expanded onto die formed aluminum fins to ensure optimum heat exchange capability.
Condenser Fan Motor
To achieve the high air charge requirement, the unit is equipped with the high air flow propeller fan which is
made of Galvanized steel. The fan is direct drive by weatherproof motor to ensure reliable continuous
operation.
Evaporator
The heat exchanger is made of stainless steel plates closely arranged and brazed together to ensure high heat
exchange efficiency. The complete heat exchanger is insulated with thermal closed cell nitric rubber foam to
give optimum thermal insulation.
Refrigerant Circuit
The refrigerant circuit is factory brazed and evacuated before accurately charged with R22 to ensure optimum
operating requirement. To ensure flawless continuous operation, each refrigerant circuit is equipped with a
carefully sized thermostatic expansion or capillary valve. See figure 1.

Control System
Our Chiller Controller surpasses all other microprocessor-based chiller control systems available today. This
powerful, user-friendly control panel can be hooked to a Smart Manager Controller to provide the flexibility and
performance needed to operate or up to 50 chillers. The Smart Manager can be easily tied into a McQuay control
system with the capability to handle up to 120 NIM compatible Fan-Coil units.
The Chiller Controllers state-of-the-art design will not only permit the chiller to run more efficiently, but will
also simplify troubleshooting if a system failure occurs. Every Chiller Controller is programmed and tested prior
to shipment to help provide a trouble-free start-up.

Operator-friendly
The Chiller Controller menu structure is separated into five distinct categories that provide the operator or
service technician with a full description of current unit status, control parameters, and alarms. Security
protection helps prevent unauthorized changing of the set-points and unit control parameters.
The Chiller Controller continuously performs important self-diagnostic checks while monitoring system
temperatures, pressures and protection devices. It wills automatically shutdown a compressor, a refrigerant
circuit or the entire unit if a fault occurs. The cause of the shutdown will be retained in memory for operator
review. The Chiller Controller can also retain and display the time the fault occurred and the operating
conditions that were present at the time of the fault, which is an extremely useful feature for troubleshooting. In
addition to displaying alarm diagnostics, the controller also provides the operator with a warning of pre-alarm
conditions.

Controller Capabilities
The Chiller Controler can switch to control/display the status
of the Chiller.

Additional Safety Protection
The modular air cooled chillers are equipped with intelligently designed safety control to ensure continuous safe
operation. High and low pressure switch is provided to prevent the compressor damage resulting from either
abnormally high discharge head pressure or low pressure. Differential pressure and paddle type flow switches
are also provided with the units. The standard controller provides accurate water temperature control in the
circuit by closely monitoring and reacting to the input from the water entering temperature, water leaving
temperature and ambient air temperature. During normal condition, if the water leaving temperature falls below
setting temperature (antifreeze temperature) the unit will be cut off automatically. Flow switch and Power
contactor with thermal relays for compressor, fan motor and water pump are providing secondary protection for
the unit. Each module is equipped with overload condenser fan motor protection and pump interlock input.

1. For multiple module units, multiply the single module physical data by the numbers of modules.
2. MAC160A and MAC210 cannot be combined, multiple module units are allowed just with same module size MAC160A or MAC210A.
4. All specifications are subjected to change by manufacturer without prior notice.
Electrical Data

Ensure that the rated voltage of the unit corresponds to that of the nameplate before general precautions.
Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for each unit. A power supply disconnects and a circuit breaker
for over-current protection should be provided in the exclusive line. The modular air-cooled chillers must be
well grounded. It absolutely cannot be connected with gas-pipe, water pipe and telephone line.

Notes:
1. To get the Total RLA s for multiple module units, multiply the single module the Total Rated Load Amps of one module by the numbers of modules.
2. Unit wire size ampacity (MCA) is equal to 125% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of RLA of all other loads in the circuit including the
control
transformer.
3. Recommended power lead wire sizes for 3 conductors per conduit are based on 100% conductor ampacity in accordance with NEC. Voltage drop has
not
been included. Therefore, it is recommended that power leads be kept short. All terminal block connections must be made with copper (type THW) wire.
4. Recommended Fuse Sizesare selected at approximately 150% to 175% of the largest compressor RLA, plus 100% of all other loads in the circuit.

Location and Installation
Unit placement
MAC units are for outdoor applications and can be mounted either on a roof or at ground level. Set units on a
solid and level foundation. On roof-mounted applications, install the unit on a steel channel or I-beam frame to
support the unit above the roof. On ground-level applications, install the unit on a substantial base that will not
settle. A one-piece concrete slab with footings extended below the frost line is recommended. Be sure the
foundation is level within 1/2"(13mm) over its length and width.
The foundation must be strong enough to support the operating weights listed in Table 3.
Standard wire-mesh coil guards protect the condenser coils. On ground-level applications, additional protection
security can be achieved by erecting a screen fence. The fence must allow free flow of air to the condenser coil
for proper unit operation.

Clearances
The flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not be impeded. Restricting airflow or allowing air
recirculation will result in a decrease in unit performance and efficiency because discharge pressures are
increased. There must be no obstruction above the unit that would deflect discharge air downward where it could
be re-circulated back to the inlet of the condenser coil. The condenser fans are propeller type and will not
operate with ductwork on the fan outlet.

Figure 10, Clearances

Sound Isolation
The most effective isolation method is to locate the unit away from sound sensitive areas. Avoid locations
beneath windows or between structures where normal operating sounds may be objectionable. Reduce
structurally transmitted sound by isolating water lines, electrical conduit and the unit itself. Use wall sleeves and
rubber isolated piping hangers to reduce transmission of water or pump noise into occupied spaces. Use flexible
electrical conduit to isolate sound through electrical conduit. Spring isolators are effective in reducing the low
amplitude sound generated by scroll compressors and for unit isolation in sound sensitive areas.

Space between units:
1.5m~3.0mm
Space between units and the wall

AIR DISCHARGE
Chilled Water Piping

Flush the system water piping thoroughly before making connections to the unit evaporator. A strainer of 40
meshes must be installed in the return water line before the inlet to the chiller. Design the water piping so that
the chilled water circulating pump discharges into the evaporator inlet. Connect the return water line to the
evaporator inlet connection (top connection). Connect the supply water line to the evaporator outlet connection
(bottom connection).
Provide drain connections at low points in the system to permit complete drainage of the system. Locate air
vents at the high points in the system to purge air out of the system. Purge air from the water system before unit
start-up to provide adequate flow through the evaporator. Install pressure gauges in the inlet and outlet water
lines to the evaporator. A single gauge shall be installed in a bypass line; measure pressure drop through the
evaporator to calculate proper flow.
Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines.
Insulate chilled water piping to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation. Thoroughly drain water from chillers
not running in the winter to protect against freezing. If the chiller operates year round, or if the system is not
drained for the winter, the chilled water piping exposed to outdoor temperature should be protected against
freezing. Wrap the lines with a heater cable and add proper amount of glycol to the system to further protect the
system during low ambient periods.

System Water Volume

It is important to have adequate water volume in the system to provide an opportunity for the chiller to sense a
load change, adjust to the change and stabilize. As the expected load change becomes more rapid, a greater water
volume is needed. The system water volume is the total amount of water in the evaporator, air handling products
and associated piping. If the water volume is too low, operational problems can occur, including rapid
compressor cycling, rapid loading and unloading of compressors, erratic refrigerant flow in the chiller, improper
motor cooling, shortened equipment life and other undesirable occurrences.
For normal comfort cooling applications, where the cooling load changes relatively slowly, we recommend a
minimum system volume of five minutes times the flow rate (GPM). For example, if the design chiller flow rate
is 120 GPM, we recommend a minimum system volume of 600 gallons (120 GPM x 5 minutes). Since there are
many other factors that can influence performance, systems may successfully operate below these suggestions.
However, as the water volume decreases below these suggestions, the possibility of problems increases.
Its strongly recommended to install a water accumulator tank in the water piping system to compensate what is
stated above.
