IntroductionGeneral descriptionEach unit is completely assembled, wired, evacuated, charged, tested, ready for installation. The maincomponents are air-cooled condensers with integral sub-cooler sections, accessible semi-hermetic single-screwcompressors, shell-and-tube evaporators, shell-and-tube water heat recovery condensers (optional), oilseparators, complete refrigerant piping and electrical panel (including control and power sections). Liquid linecomponents are shut-off valves, charging valves, filter-dryers, sight -glass/moisture indicators, electronic expansionvalves, liquid receivers (only with total heat recovery option). Other features are compressor heaters, evaporatorheater for low ambient water freeze protection, automatic pump-down during circuit shutdown and fully integratedmicroprocessor control system.The chiller uses R407C refrigerant and operates at positive pressures.Purpose of the manualThe manual allows the installer and the operator to perform correctly all the required operations for unit installationand maintenance without any damages to the chiller or to qualified personnel.NomenclatureMcPower SE 276 . 2 ST 407McPowerAir cooled screw chillerSEXEStandard EfficiencyHigh Efficiency228÷478 Unit size23 N° of compressorsSTCNLNXNXXNStandard versionWith Sound Proof CabinetLow noise versionExtra low noise versionSuper quiet407 Refrigerant HFC 407C508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 3/44

Figure 8 - Typical heat recovery piping connection schemeEvaporator/Heat Recovery condenser Freeze ProtectionAll evaporators are equipped with electric heater thermostatically controlled that provide freeze protection downto -28°C. However, this should not be the only method of freeze protection. Unless the evaporator and heatrecovery condensers are flushed and drained as is described below in note 4, two or more of the remaining threerecommendations must be followed as part of the system design:1. Continuous circulation of water through the piping and the heat exchanger.2. Filling of glycol solution in the chilled water circuit.3. Additional insulation and heating of the exposed piping.4. Draining and flushing the chiller vessel with air during winter season.It is the responsibility of the installing contractor and/or on-site maintenance personnel to insure that this additionalprotection is provided. Routine checks should be made to insure adequate freeze protection is maintained.Failure to do so may result in damage to unit components. Freeze damage is not considered a warranty failure.Flow SwitchA water flow switch must be mounted in either the entering or leaving water line to insure an adequate water flowthrough the evaporator before starting the unit. This will safeguard against slugging the compressors on start -up. ItMcPower serves to shut down the unit in the event that water flow is interrupted to protect against evaporatorfreeze-up. Whenever the unit is equipped with the heat recovery condensers a water flow switch must be mountedin either the entering or leaving water line to insure an adequate water flow before switching the unit in “Heatrecovery mode”. It prevents against the unit shut -down for high condensing pressure.A flow switch is available from McQuay and it is a "paddle" type switch and adaptable to any pipe size from 5"(127mm) to 8" (203mm) nominal.Certain minimum flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in Table 1.Flow direction marked on switchNPT flow switch connectionTee508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 8/44

Relief ValvesAs a safety precaution and to meet code requirements, each chiller is equipped with pressure relief valveslocated on the coil condenser , evaporator, heat recovery condenser( if supplied) and liquid receiver for thepurpose of relieving excessive refrigerant pressure (caused by equipment malfunctioning, fire etc.) to theatmosphere.Oil HeaterThe oil separator is equipped with an immersion electric heater that is installed in a tube tht it can beremoved without disturbing the oil or opening the refrigerant circuit.Evaporator water flow and pressure dropBalance the chilled water flow through the evaporator. The flow rates must fall between the minimum andmaximum values. Flow rates below the minimum values shown will result in laminar flow that will reduce efficiency,cause erratic operation of the electronic expansion valve and could cause low temperature cut -out. On the otherhand flow rates exceeding the maximum values shown can cause erosion , vibration and may cause the break onthe evaporator water connections and tubes. Measure the chilled water pressure drop through the evaporator atfield installed pressure taps. It is important not to include valve or strainer pressure drop in these readings.Variable chilled water flow through the evaporator while the compressors are operating is not recommended. Setpoints are based upon a constant flow and variable temperature.Heat Recovery Condenser water flow and pressure dropHeat recovery condensers are supplied without the headers connection on both water side, entering and leaving.These Headers must be provided by the installer locally , including the wells pockets for microprocessor controlsensors.Balance the hot water flow through the heat recovery condenser. The flow rates must fall between the minimumand maximum values. Flow rates below the minimum values shown will result in laminar flow that will reduceefficiency, cause erratic operation of the unit and could cause high pressure cut-out. On the other hand flow ratesexceeding the maximum values shown can cause erosion on the condenser water connections and tubes.Measure the hot water pressure drop through the condenser at field installed pressure taps. It is important not toinclude header, valve or strainer pressure drop in these readings. Variable hot water flow through the condenserwhile the compressors are operating is not recommended. Set points are based upon a constant flow and variabletemperature.Leaving ConnectionsInstaller must provide the Headersbetween the heat recoverycondenser to have only one supplywater connection and one returnwater connectionHeat Recovery CondensersEntering Connections508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 22/44

OperationOperator ResponsibilitiesIt is important that the operator become familiar with the equipment and the system before attempting tooperate the chiller. In addition to reading this manual, the operator should study the operating manualControl Panel Microtech II “C” Plus OM 101C (latest edition) and the electrical wiring diagram furnished withthe unit before starting, operating, or shutting it down.During the initial start up of the chiller the McQuay technician will be available to answer any questions andinstruct in the proper operating procedures.It is recommended that the operator maintain an operating log for each individual chiller unit. In addition, aseparate maintenance log should be kept of the periodic maintenance and servicing activities.If the operator encounters abnormal or unusual operating conditions, it is recommended that a McQuayservice technician be consulted.Refrigeration CycleThe refrigerant gas, at low pressure, leaving the evaporator enters the screw compressor through the motor winding tocool it. The compressor compresses the refrigerant from low to high pressure and during this phase there is the oilinjection to cool, to lubricate and to seal the screw chamber. The effect of the oil injection is that to have a mixture of oiland refrigerant that enter the high efficiency oil separator where by a combined action of centrifugal force and lowvelocity , both elements are separated.While the gas is leaving from the top of oil separator, the oil slips down the receiver along the wall and goes back thecompressor injection port by the existing differential pressure between the suction and discharge side.After the oil separator, the high pressure and hot gas crosses the “four way-valve” and according to the unit operationmode, enters inside the air-cooled coil condenser (cooling mode) or heat recovery water condenser (heat recoverymode).In both heat exchangers the hot gas is cooled by the ambient air in the first case and by the water in the second casechanging the status from gas to liquid.The liquid refrigerant before leaving the condensing section is passing inside the sub-cooler where is cooled below thesaturation temperature, to compensate the pressure drops through the liquid line and to increasing the evaporatorcapacity.After the sub-cooler the liquid refrigerant enters in the liquid receiver, where the exceeding charge is accumulated duringthe “cooling mode” in order to compensate the different volume ( refrigerant side) between the coil condenser and theheat recovery condenser. The liquid refrigerant passes through the filter dryer, to eliminate eventual particle of humidity,and through the expansion valve where there are the lamination of the refrigerant.In that situation we have the refrigerant mixture of liquid and gas at low pressure entering the evaporator that absorbsthe heat load from chilled water to complete the evaporation and restart the cycle.508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 27/44

The identification of the sensors are the following:“W10” to be installed at the entering of the condenser“W11” to be installed at the leaving of the condenserFunctionWhen the selector switch Q7 enable the heat recovery mode, if the sensor “W10” is measuring the hot watertemperature value below the set point allow the first step to switch the four-way valve from chiller to heatrecovery cycle. If the set point temperature is not achieved the microprocessor control insert all the othersteps available according to the number of refrigerant circuits. On the contrary if the water temperatureexceed the set point value the microprocessor control switch off the steps until the temperature is inside theband.Of course it is mandatory that the heat recovery condenser flow switch is on, otherwise the unit neverswitches on the heat recovery cycle.The Microprocessor control is normally settled , at the factory, to verify or change the set points see the usermanual supplied with the unit.Heat Recovery OperationThe unit supplied with the heat recovery condensers is equipped with an additional microprocessor (TC10 seeelectrical wiring diagram) with two, three or four steps to control the hot water temperature, according to thenumber of the heat exchangers installed on the unit(one step for each compressor). For reference how to set thismicroprocessor see the Specific manual supplied with the unit. The heat recovery mode is available only if there isthe request of cooling load and the capacity is depending from the number of the compressors running and theunloading position of them.To run the unit in heat recovery mode follow the items listed below:1) Verify the installation of the water flow switch done by the installer and check the electrical connection atM3.426 and M3.427 terminal blocks inside the electrical panel2) Verify the installation of the microprocessor sensor in the pocket well of the water return common header (done by the installer)3) Check the set point of the return water temperature on the display of the microprocessor “TC10” (Carel IR32).Do not exceed the max water temperature allowed (see the operating limits) to avoid the shut -down the unitfor high pressure.4) Switch the water pump on5) Switch “ON” the selector “Q7” that allow the unit to run in heat recovery mode. If the microprocessor TC10 isasking for hot water, the 4 ways-valve change the refrigerant circuit from the condenser coil to the heatrecovery condenser (first step) and insert the other circuits until the return hot water is matching the set point.In that condition the fan motors of the respective condenser coil are switched “OFF”. Vice-versa, when themicroprocessor is reducing the steps, the 4 ways-valve change the refrigerant circuit from the heat recoverycondenser to the condenser coil and switching on the respective fan motors.6) In case of lack of water in the heat recovery condenser the unit is automatically switched on cooling modeonly.Standard controlsHigh pressure controlThe high pressure switch will shut -down the compressor when the discharge pressure exceeds the setting pointvalue.Phase/voltage monitorThe phase/voltage monitor is a device which provides protection against three-phase electrical motor loss due topower failure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal. Whenever any of these conditions occur, a contactopens to the microprocessor which then de-energizes all inputs. When proper power is restored, contacts closeand microprocessor enables compressors for operation. When three-phase power has been applied, the outputrelay should close and the "run light" should come on. If the output relay does not close, perform the followingtests:1. Check the voltages between L1-L2, L1-L3 and L2-L3 (L1, L2, L3 are the three phases). These voltages shouldbe approximately equal and within + 10% of the rated three-phase line-to-line voltage.2. If these voltages are extremely low or widely unbalanced check the power system to determine the cause of theproblem.508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 32/44

3. If the voltages are good, using a phase tester, verify that phases are in A, B, C sequence for L1, L2 and L3.Correct rotation is required for compressor operation. If required to do so by phase sequence, turn off the powerand interchange any two of the supply power leads at the disconnect main switch. This may be necessary as thephase voltage monitor is sensitive to phase reversal. Turn on the power. The output relay should now close afterthe appropriate delay.Heat Recovery Microprocessor Set-upThe unit supplied with the heat recovery condensers is equipped with an additional microprocessor (TC10 seeelectrical wiring diagram) with two, three or four steps to control the hot water temperature, according to thenumber of the heat exchangers installed on the unit(one step for each compressor).

System MaintenanceGeneralTo ensure proper operation at peak capacity and to avoid damage to package components, a program of periodicinspections should be set up and followed. The following items are intended as a guide and are to be used duringinspection and must be combined with sound coming from compressor and electrical practices to ensure troublefreeperformance. The liquid line sightglass indicator on all circuits must be checked to be sure the glass is full andclear. If the indicator shows that a wet condition exists and/or there are bubbles in the glass, even with a fullrefrigerant charge, the filter-drier element must be changed.Compressor maintenanceThe screw Frame 4 compressor does not required frequent maintenance. However, vibration test is an excellentcheck for proper mechanical operation. Compressor vibration is an indicator of the requirement for maintenanceand contributes to a decrease in unit performance and efficiency. It is recommended that the compressor bechecked with a vibration analyser at or shortly after start-up and again on an annual basis. When performing thetest the load should be maintained as closely as possible to the load of the original test. The vibration analyser testprovides a fingerprint of the compressor and when performed routinely can give a warning of impending problems.The compressor is supplied with a cartridge oil filter. It is a good policy to replace this filter anytime the compressoris opened for servicing.Electrical controlWarning: Electric shock hazard. Turn off all electrical power supplies before continuing with following service.Caution: It is necessary to de-energise the complete electrical panel, including crankcase heater, before doingany servicing inside.Prior to attempting any service on the control centre it is advisable to study the wiring diagram so that youunderstand the operation system of the water chiller. Electrical components do not require particular maintenanceother than a monthly tightening of cables.Warning: The warranty becomes void if the wiring connection to the unit is not in accordance with thespecification. A blown fuse or tripped protector indicates a short ground or overload.Before replacing the fuse or restarting the compressor, the problem must be found and corrected. It is important tohave a qualified electrician to service this panel. Unqualified tampering with the controls can cause seriousdamage to equipment and void the warranty.Refrigerant sight-glassThe refrigerant sight-glasses should be observed periodically (a weekly observation should be adequate). A clearliquid sight-glass indicates the right refrigerant charge in the system to insure proper feed through the expansionvalve. Bubbling refrigerant in the sight-glass, during stable run conditions, indicates that the system may be shortof refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sight-glass could also indicate an excessive pressure drop inthe liquid line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in the liquid line. If sub-cooling is lowadd charge to clear the sight -glass. If sub-cooling is normal and flashing is visible in the sight -glass replace thefilter-drier. An element inside the sight -glass indicates the moisture condition corresponding to a given elementcolour. If the sight-glass does not indicate a dry condition after about 3 hours of operation, the unit should bepumped down and the filter-dryers changed.The following table is a guide to determinate the dry or wet condition of the system:COLOURGreen (Sky Blue)Yellow (Pink)MEANSDryWetFilter-dryersA replacement of the filter-drier is recommended during scheduled service maintenance of the unit when bubblesoccur in the sight-glass with normal sub-cooling temperature. The filter-drier should also be changed if the508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 34/44

moisture indicator in the sight -glass indicates excess moisture by the wet system colour indicators. During the firstfew months of operation the filter-drier replacement may be necessary if you have bubbles in liquid line asexplained before. Any residual particles from the unit working process, compressor and miscellaneouscomponents are swept by the refrigerant into the liquid line and are caught by the filter-drier.To change the filter drier, close the manual liquid line shutoff valve, pump the unit down by opening the switchesQ1, Q2 (ON/OFF switches compressors) in “off” position.Move the ON/OFF switch unit Q0 to the “off” position.Close the suction line valve. Remove and replace the filter-drier. Evacuate the liquid line through the manualshutoff valve removing non-condensable that may have entered during filter replacement.Open the suction line valve; open the manual liquid line of shutoff valve. A leak check is recommended beforereturning the unit to operation.Electronic expansion valveMcPower air-cooled chiller is equipped with the most advanced electronic expansion valve to achieve precisecontrol of refrigerant mass flow. As today’s system requires improved energy efficiency, tighter temperaturecontrol, wider range of operating conditions and incorporate new features like remote monitoring and diagnostics,the application of electronic expansion valves becomes mandatory. McPower electronic expansion valve proposesfeatures that makes it unique: short opening and closing time, high resolution, positive shut-off function toeliminate use of additional solenoid valve, highly linear flow capacity, continuous modulation of mass flow withoutstress in the refrigerant circuit and corrosion resistance stainless steel body.EvaporatorThe units are supplied with new optimised counter-flow evaporator, single refrigerant pass. It is direct expansion (2evaporators for units with 4 compressors) with refrigerant inside the tubes and water outside (shell side) withcarbon steel tube sheets, with straight copper tubes that are spirally wound internally for higher efficiencies,expanded on the tube plates. The external shell, is linked with an electrical heater to prevent freezing to -28 Cambient temperature, energised by a thermostat and is covered with a closed cell insulation material. Eachevaporator has 2 or 3 refrigerant circuits one for each compressor. Each evaporator is manufactured inaccordance to PED approval. Normally no service work is required on the evaporator.Heat Recovery CondensersCondensers are shell and clearable, through-tube types. Standard configuration is 2 passes. The unit hasindependent exchangers, one per circuit completely assembled. Each heat recovery condenser has a carbon steeland seamless, integrally finned high efficiency copper tubes, roll expanded into heavy carbon steel tube sheets.Water heads are removable and include vent and drain plugs. Condensers are equipped spring loaded reliefvalves.Condenser is designed to comply with PED. Waterside working pressure is designed for 10.5 bar. Standardconfiguration on water connection side is 2 passes.The installer has to supply the water header connection for all heat recovery condensers installed on the unit, bothat the entering and leaving water connections and provide the flow switch. All the heat recovery condenser mustbe connected together in parallel. At the entering water pipe, must be installed the temperature sensor, suppliedspare with the unit, to control the heat recovery cycle.Condenser coil fansThe condenser fans are helical types with wing-profile blades to achieve a better performance. The direct couplingwith the electrical motor reducing vibrations caused by the functioning. The three-phase type motors are suppliedas standard with IP54 protection (Insulation class F); they are protected against overloading and short circuits bycircuit breakers located inside the electrical control panel.Air-cooled condenser (Condensing coil)The condensing coils are constructed with internally enhanced seamless copper tubes arranged in a staggeredrow pattern and mechanically expanded into McQuay lanced and rippled aluminum condenser fins with full fincollars. An integral sub-cooler circuit provides sub-cooling to effectively eliminate liquid flashing and increases incooling capacity without increasing the power input.No maintenance is ordinary required except the occasional removal of dirt and debris from the outside surface ofthe fins. McQuay recommends the use of foaming coil cleaners available at air conditioning supply outlets. Usecaution when selecting such cleaners as some may contain potentially harmful chemical. Care should be taken notto damage the fins during cleaning.508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 35/44

Lubricating oilsBesides lubricating the bearing and other moving parts, the oil has the equally important task of sealing theclearances between the rotors and other potential leakage paths thereby improving pumping efficiency; the oil alsoassists in dissipating the heat of compression. The amount of oil injected is therefore well in excess of thatrequired for lubrication alone. To reduce the oil circulation in the refrigerant circuit, the oil separator is installed onthe compressor discharge lineLubricating oil approved for use with McQuay Screw compressor is POE Emkarate RL68H.The oil pressure transducer monitors the oil injection pressure on the compressor. If the oil pressure value is belowthe setting point inside the microprocessor control the compressor stops.The oil pressure is generated by discharge pressure, a minimum discharge pressure must be maintained; thisminimum pressure increases, as the suction pressure increases in order to maintain the pressure differencerequired.Crankcase and oil separator heatersThe function of the Oil separator heaters is to prevent oil dilution with refrigerant during compressor shutdown,which would cause foaming and consequent reduction in lubricating oil flow to the moving parts. Electric heatersare energised every time the compressors shuts-down.Warning: Verify if the heaters have been energised at least 12 hours, prior the start -up.RefrigerantRefrigerant chargingMcPowe air cooled screw chillers are shipped factory charged with a full operating charge of refrigerant but theremay be times that a unit must be recharged at the jobsite. Follow these recommendations when field charging.Refer to the unit operating charge found in the physical data tables on pages from 9 to15 according to the versionof the unit, chiller or heat recovery . The optimum charge is the charge which allows the unit to run with no flashingin the liquid line at all operating conditions. When the liquid line temperature does not drop with the addition of 2,0-4,0 Kg of charge and the discharge pressure goes up 20-35 kPa then the sub-cooler is nearly full and propercharge has been reached. Unit can be charged at any steady load condition, at any outdoor ambient temperature.Unit must be allowed to run 5 minutes or longer so that the condenser fan staging is stabilized at normal operatingdischarge pressure. For best results charge the unit with 2 or more condenser fans operating per refrigerant.In case of moisture is noticed in the system, through the moisture indicator, the system must be evacuated toeliminate the cause of trouble. After the trouble solved, the system must be dried by making an almost perfectvacuum. For this purpose, a displacement vacuum pump should be used.When the system has been opened for extensive repairs, as for an overhaul, it is advisable to use the method ofthe evacuation as follows:1. Evacuate the refrigerant system by the vacuum pump reaching the value of 200 Pa (1,5 mm Hg).2. Break the vacuum with nitrogen until the atmospheric pressure is reached.3. Repeat operation 1 and 2 for two times.4. Evacuate the refrigerant system reaching the value of 66,5 Pa.The dry nitrogen, used to break the vacuum will absorb any moisture and air left in the system, and they will bealmost completely removed by the three evacuations. If burnt oil or sludge are found in the refrigerant circuit(caused by the compressor motor burn-out), before the vacuum operation it will be necessary to carefully clean thesystem using the filter dryer clean-out method; which basically involves the use of special filter dryers including asuitable desiccant in both the liquid and suction lines.Excessive refrigerant losses can also cause leak of oil from the system. Check the oil level during operation andensure that oil is visible in the top sight-glass of the oil separator.1. If the unit is slightly undercharged the unit will show bubbles in the sight-glass. Recharge the unit.2. If the unit is moderately undercharged the unit will most likely trip on freeze protection. Recharge the unit asdescribed in the charging procedure below.Procedure to charge a moderately undercharged McPower unit1. If a unit is low on refrigerant you must first determine the cause before attempting to recharge the unit. Locateand repair any refrigerant leak. Evidence of oil is a good indicator of leakage however, oil may not be visible atall leaks. Liquid leak detector fluids work well to show bubbles at medium size leaks but electronic leak detectormay be needed to locate small leaks.508 C – 06/04 A – pag. 36/44

2. Add the charge to the system through the valve on evaporator entering pipe between the expansion valve andthe evaporator head. Follow the procedure reported on “Refrigerant charging”.3. The charge can be added at any load condition.Charging the refrigerant1. Connect the refrigerant bottle with a filling pipe to the filling valve on the evaporator head. Before firmlytightening the refrigerant bottle valve, open it and force the air out from the filling pipe. Tighten the chargingvalve connection and fill the refrigerant.2. When the refrigerant stops to enter the system, start the compressor and complete the refrigerant charge.3. If you do not know how much refrigerant has to be added, shut off the bottle valve every 5 minutes and continueto charge the refrigerant until the sight glass is clear and free from bubbles.Note: Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. To recover it, use empty, clean and dry bottles. Theliquid refrigerant recovery can be made through the valve provided on the condenser coil sub-cooler outlet. Tofacilitate the recovery of refrigerant, put the bottle inside a container full of ice; avoid excessive filling of the bottle(70÷80% max).Preventive maintenance scheduleOperationRef.
