Design Advantages

Construction

Factory assembled and mounted on heavy-gauge powder coat painted, galvanized steel channel base.

This base distributes the unit weight for roof loading. Flexible installation is possible by virtue of the

unit’s small footprint and low sound level.

Compressors

The AGR product line uses Copeland DISCUS



valve semi-hermetic compressors. These rugged

compressors are designed for R-22 and the high loading associated with air-cooled applications. They

operate under lighter loading with R-134a.

Semi-hermetic, 1750 rpm induction type motors are used. The motors are refrigerant-gas cooled.

Solid-state modules in the motor terminal box respond to temperature sensors imbedded in all three

motor windings, providing inherent thermal overload protection for all run and start conditions.

The compressor housing is constructed from closed grained, high nickel content, alloy cast-iron with no

bolted joint between the motor and compressor. The housing includes a cast-iron cylinder head and

stator cover, and a crankcase oil sightglass. A suction strainer built into the compressor in the gas

stream between the suction service valve and the motor, filters out foreign and abrasive particles. An

internal relief valve relieves discharge pressure to the suction side for protection at high compression

ratios as required by ANSI/ASHRAE 15 Safety Code.

Main bearings are solid cast bronze insert type with oversized bearing areas that result in ultra-low

bearing loading.

The crankshaft is die-forged, high strength iron alloy with integral counterweights, statically and

dynamically balanced for smooth operation.

Connecting rods are lightweight aluminum with integral bearing surfaces on the crankshaft and piston

ends. Pistons are close grain cast iron with oil and compression rings. Piston pins are full floating type

for long life.

Compressors have a force-feed lubrication system with positive oil displacement, a reversible oil pump,

and an operating oil charge. The pump feeds oil through rifle drilled passages in the crankshaft to all

bearing surfaces. Magnetic plugs trap metal particles that enter the crankcase. The oil supply is filtered

through a large area oil strainer. A crankcase heater minimizes oil dilution by refrigerant at compressor

startup.

Condenser Coils

Condenser coils have internally enhanced seamless copper tubes arranged in a staggered row pattern.

The coils are mechanically expanded into McQuay lanced and rippled aluminum fins with full fin

collars. An integral subcooler circuit provides subcooling to greatly reduce the possibility of liquid line

flashing. The exterior condenser coils are fitted with a vinyl-coated wire mesh protective guard.

Condenser Fans and Motors

Multiple direct drive dynamically balanced propeller fans operate in formed venturi openings at low tip

speeds for maximum efficiency and minimum noise and vibration. A heavy-gauge vinyl-coated fan

guard protects each fan.

Each condenser fan motor is heavy-duty, 3-phase with permanently lubricated ball bearings and

inherent overload protection. SpeedTrol option includes a single-phase motor with fan speed control on

the lead fan per circuit. Fan motors on the AGR 070-100A are totally-enclosed-air-over (TEAO)

construction providing optimum environmental protection.

Evaporator

The evaporator is direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing in the baffled shell side and refrigerant

flowing through the tubes. Two independent refrigerant circuits within the evaporator serve the units dual

refrigerant circuits.

The evaporator has a carbon steel shell and seamless high efficiency copper tubes roller expanded into a carbon

steel tube sheet. Water baffles are polypropylene to resist corrosion.

Refrigerant heads are carbon steel with multi-pass baffles to ensure oil return and are removable to permit access to

the tubes from either end. For water removal, 3/8" (10mm) vent and drain plugs are provided on the top and bottom

of the shell.

The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable and insulated with 3/4" (19mm) thick vinyl nitrate

polymer sheet insulation, protecting against water freeze-up at ambient air temperatures to -20°F (-29°C). An

ambient air thermostat controls the heater cable.

The fitted and glued in place insulation has a K factor of 0.28 at 75°F (23°C).

The refrigerant (tube) side maximum working pressure is 225 psig (1552 kPa). The water side working pressure is

225 psig (1552 kPa). Each evaporator is designed, constructed, inspected, and stamped according to the

requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Double thickness insulation is an available option.

On Model AGR



AM units the evaporator is shipped separate for field mounting and piping to the outdoor unit.

The refrigerant specialties shown in Figure 1 (dotted lines) must be purchased from McQuay with the unit and

installed by the installing contractor.

NOTE:

The remote evaporator option is available on R-22 application only and is outside ARI certification.

Figure 1, AGR ---AM, Remote Evaporator Piping (One of two circuits shown)

NOTE:

A water flow switch or both water flow switch and water pump starter interlock, must be field installed to

protect against evaporator freeze-up under low water flow conditions.

MicroTech Control (optional on R-22, standard on R-134a)

Exclusive microprocessor control is common throughout McQuay equipment. The interface is a 12 key

keypad and 2-line, 40 character backlit liquid crystal display. The MicroTech continuously performs

self-diagnostic checks on all system temperatures, pressures, and equipment protection controls, and

will automatically shut down a circuit or the entire unit at fault conditions. The cause, time, and date of

the occurrence is recorded and can be displayed. The seven previous incidents are kept in memory for

service reference.

If a fault occurs, the controller takes preventive measures in an effort to keep the unit operating; staging

down capacity, activating a pre-alarm signal, and automatically switching to the alarm menu on the

display. Pre-alarms are self-clearing when the fault condition is no longer present.

Critical shutdown alarms such as high condenser pressure (with mechanical back up), freeze protection,

oil pressure (with mechanical back up), and low evaporator pressure are manual reset and must be

cleared at the keypad to resume operation.

Choose the MicroTech control and Open Protocol options to interface with virtually any building

management system and perform remote monitoring and control by hard wiring or modem. A nominal

site license fee is required for BAS interface.

A single chiller can connect directly to the BAS. Two or more units will require an Open Protocol

Panel (OPM) for connection.

One hundred feet of sensor cable is included, rolled up in the control panel, on remote evaporator

models.

NOTE:

The MicroTech control is required on R-134a applications.

Remote Evaporator, Model AM

Selection with Inch-Pound (I-P) units

Since the AGR-AM units always include a specific remote shell-and-tube evaporator,

the ratings are based on leaving chilled water temperature and ambient air temperature

from the Rating Tables corrected for line loss as follows.

Table 9 (Inch-Pound units) and Table 10 (SI units) cover the normal range of leaving evaporator water

temperatures and outside ambient air temperatures. The tables are based on a 10°F (5

°

C) temperature

drop through the evaporator. Adjustment factors for applications having other than a 10°F (5

°

C) drop

can be found in Table 3. The minimum leaving chilled water temperature setpoint without glycol is

42°F (5.6

°

C). For brine selections, see Table 1 for ethylene Table 2 for propylene glycol adjustment

factors. Ratings are based on a 0.0001 (0.0176) fouling factor in the evaporator at sea level operation.

For other fouling factors, derates for different delta-Ts, or altitude correction factors, see Table 3. For

applications outside the catalog ratings contact your local McQuay sales representative.

The length and configuration of the interconnecting refrigerant piping will affect the system capacity.

Derates based on equivalent length of pipe are given in Table 8. Refer to Application Data, Refrigerant

Piping section for guidelines.

The steps for selecting an AGR-AM are as follows:

1.

Add 3% to the required cooling capacity (to approximate correction factors) and make a

preliminary unit selection from performance Table 9 or Table 10.

2.

Divide the required capacity by the appropriate capacity correction factors: glycols from Table 1 or

Table 2; altitude, chilled water Delta T, or fouling factor Table 3; and refrigerant piping derate from

Table 8 as explained in step 3 below.

3.

Determine the suction line size by summing the equivalent feet (from Table 4) of all the fittings

(use a sketch of the piping layout) and

adding the sum of these fitting losses

to the actual linear feet

of tubing. This will then equal the

total equivalent feet

. (To use the equivalent feet, start with the

unit suction connection size from Table 6 as the first try). Knowing the equivalent feet and the unit

size, check the line selection in Table 6 or Table 7 and correct if required.

4.

If the unit rated capacity in the tables is less than the corrected required capacity, redo the selection

with the next larger unit. In most cases the line size will be the unit connection size. If the

selection is satisfactory, correct the power (if applicable) and determine water pressure drop.

Check Table 7 for size and find that 2 1/8” is acceptable size for oil carry. If the selected riser size

is too large, double risers would be required. See Refrigerant Piping section for important

information, including double riser layouts.

The capacity correction factor from Table 8 is 0.984.

3.

The corrected capacity of the AGR is: 67.5 tons x 0.986{altitude} x 0.984{piping} = 65.5 tons

This satisfies the 64 ton requirement.

4.

Correct the compressor power required: 77.1 kW x 1.009{altitude} = 77.8 kW.

Selection Procedure 60 Hz Metric Units

The selection procedure for Metric units is exactly the same as English except that Metric tables and

metric units are used.

Application Adjustment Factors

Ethylene and Propylene Glycol Factors

AGR units can operate with a leaving chilled fluid temperature range of 20°F (-6.7°C) to 60°F

(15.6°C). A glycol solution is required when leaving chilled fluid temperature is below 42°F (5.6°C).

The use of glycol will reduce the performance of the unit depending on concentration.

Altitude Correction Factors

Performance tables are based at sea level. Elevations other than sea level affect the performance of the

unit. The decreased air density will reduce condenser capacity and reduce the unit's performance. For

performance at elevations other than sea level refer to Table 3. Maximum allowable altitude is 6,000

feet (1830 meters).

Evaporator Temperature Drop Factors

Performance tables are based on a 10°F (5.5°C) temperature drop through the evaporator. Adjustment

factors for applications with temperature ranges from 6°F to 16°F (3.3°C to 8.9°C) are in Table 3.

Temperature drops outside this 6 to 16 degrees F (3.3 to 8.9 degrees C) range may affect the control

system's capability to maintain acceptable control and are not recommended.

The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the evaporator in a non-operating mode

is 100°F (37.8°C). Maximum entering temperature during operation is 90

°

F (32.2

C).

Fouling factor

Performance tables are based on water with a fouling factor of

kWCmorBTUFxhrxft

/0176.0,,/0001.0

°×°

per ARI 550/590-98. As fouling increases,

performance decreases. For performance at other than 0.0001 (0.0176) fouling factor see Table 3.

Foreign matter in the chilled water system will adversely affect the heat transfer capability of the

evaporator, and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. To ensure optimum unit

operation, maintain proper water treatment.

Note: Per ARI Standard 370

Sound levels are as important as unit cost and efficiency, and must be addressed before to the start of

any development program. Efforts by McQuay design engineers to design chillers that are sensitive to

the sound requirements of the market have paid off.

Background Information

Sound is a vibration in an elastic medium and is essentially a pressure and particle displacement

phenomena. A vibrating body produces compression waves and as the waves are emitted from the

vibrating body, molecules are ultimately compressed. These values are transmitted through gas, liquid,

solid



anything which is elastic or viscous.

The sound data provided in this section is presented with both sound pressure and sound power levels.

Sound power is the total sound energy radiated by a source per unit of time integrated over the surface

through which the sound is radiated. Sound power is a calculated quantity and cannot be measured

directly like sound pressure. Sound power is not dependent on the surrounding environment or distance

from the source, as is sound pressure.

Sound pressure varies with the distance from the source and is dependent on its surroundings. For

example, a brick wall located 10 feet from a unit will affect the sound pressure measurements

differently than a brick wall at 20 feet. Sound pressure is measured in decibels (dB), which is a

dimensionless ratio (on a logarithmic scale) between measured sound pressure and a reference sound

pressure level.

Sound Pressure Levels - Full Load

All sound pressure tables give the overall "A" weighted sound pressure levels which are considered

typical of what may be measured in a free field with a hand held sound meter, in the absence of any

nearby reflective surfaces. The sound pressure levels are measured at 30 feet (10 meters) from the side

of the unit at 100% unit load and ARI conditions. 95°F (35°C) ambient air temperature and 54/44°F

Sound Power Levels

Acoustical consultants may require sound power octave band data to perform a detailed acoustical

analysis. The tables that follow present sound power levels per ARI Standard 370, “Sound Rating

of Large Outdoor Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Equipment”. These standards were developed

to establish uniform methods of determining the sound power radiated by large outdoor and indoor

equipment. The aforementioned methods are based on providing sound power levels by octave

band and the overall ‘A’ weighted value. Measurements are taken over a prescribed area around the

unit and the data is mathematically calculated to give the sound power, dB.

Sound Reduction due to Distance from the Unit

The distance between a source of sound and the location of the sound measurement plays an

important role in minimizing sound problems. The equation below can be used to calculate the

sound pressure level

at any distance if the

sound power

is known. Results for typical distances are

tabulated in Table 14. Another way of determining the effect of distance is to work from sound

pressure only. “Q”, the directionality factor, is a dimensionless number that compensates for the

type of sound reflection from the source. For example, a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with

no other reflective surfaces or attenuation due to grass, snow, etc., between source and receiver:

Q=2.

Q=2 single reflecting surface

Uniform Radiation over ¼ of sphere

Q=4 two reflecting surfaces

Sound pressure can be calculated at any distance from the unit if the sound power is known.

Lp=Lw-(20 log r) + (10 log Q) - .5

Lp = sound pressure r = distance from unit in feet

Lw = sound power Q = directionality factor

With Q=1, Unit suspended in space (theoretical condition), the equation simplifies to:

Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) –0.5

With Q=2, for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with no adjacent vertical wall as a reflective

surface, the equation simplifies to:

Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) + 2.5

With Q=4 for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with one adjacent vertical wall as a reflective

surface, the equation simplifies to:

Lp = Lw – (20)(log r) + 5.5

The equations are reduced to table form in Table 14 for various distances and the two most usual

cases of “Q” type of location.
