Introduction
General Description
McQuay Type WGZ water chillers are designed for indoor installations and are available with
water-cooled condensers (Model AW), or arranged for use with remote air-cooled or
evaporative condensers (Model AA). Each water-cooled unit is completely assembled and
factory wired before evacuation, charging and testing. They consist of hermetic scroll
compressors, brazed-plate evaporator, water-cooled condenser (WGZ-AW), and complete
refrigerant piping.
Units manufactured for use with remote condensers (Models WGZ-AA) have all refrigerant
specialties factory-mounted and connection points for refrigerant discharge and liquid lines.
Liquid line components that are included are manual liquid line shutoff valves, charging
valves, filter-driers, liquid line solenoid valves, sight glass/moisture indicators, and thermal
expansion valves.
Other features include compressor crankcase heaters, and a MicroTech II microprocessor
controller.
The electrical control center includes all equipment protection and operating controls
necessary for dependable automatic operation.
The compressors are not fused as standard, but can be protected by optional circuit breakers or
fuses, or can rely on a field-installed, fused disconnect switch for protection.

Inspection
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of
lading to be sure of a complete shipment. All units must be carefully inspected for damage
upon arrival. All shipping damage must be reported to the carrier and a claim must be filed
with the carrier. The unit serial plate should be checked before unloading the unit to be sure
that it agrees with the power supply available. Physical damage to unit after acceptance is not
the responsibility of McQuay.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are given in the physical data tables
beginning on page 27.

Installation
Note: Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualified personnel
who are familiar with local codes and regulations, and experienced with this type of
equipment.

WARNING
Avoid contact with sharp edges. Personal injury can result.

Handling
Every model WGZ-AW water chiller with water-cooled condensers is shipped with a full
refrigerant charge. For shipment, the charge is contained in the condenser and is isolated by
the condenser liquid shutoff valve and the compressor discharge valve common to a pair of
compressors.
A holding charge is supplied in remote condenser models, WGZ-AA. The operating charge
must be field supplied and charged.
WARNING
If the unit has been damaged, allowing the refrigerant to escape, there can be
danger of suffocation in the area since the refrigerant will displace the air. Be
sure to review Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements if damage
occurred. Avoid exposing an open flame to the refrigerant.

Moving the Unit

Shipping skids are an option and if not supplied, some means such as dollies or skids must be
field furnished to protect the unit from accidental damage and to permit easy handling and
moving.

It is recommended that all moving

and handling be performed with
skids or dollies under the unit
when possible and that they not be
removed until the unit is in the
final location.

Never put the weight of the unit against the control box.
In moving, always apply pressure to the base on the skids only and not to the piping or other
components. A long bar will help move the unit easily. Avoid dropping the unit at the end of
the roll.
If the unit must be hoisted, lift the unit from the removable lifting arms factory-bolted to each
end of the unit adjacent to the tube sheet by attaching cables or chains to the end of the arms.
A spreader bar must be used to protect the piping, control panel and other areas of the chiller
(see Figure 1). The arms should be removed and discarded after use.
Do not attach slings to piping or equipment. Do not attempt to lift the unit by lifting points
mounted on the compressors. They are for lifting only the compressor should one need to be
removed from the unit. Move unit in the upright horizontal position at all times. Set unit
down gently when lowering from the truck or rollers.

Location
WGZ chillers are designed for indoor application and must be located in an area where the
surrounding ambient temperature is 40F (4C) or above. A good rule of thumb is to place
units where ambient temperatures are at least 5F (3C) above the leaving water temperature.
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 shipment. A
reasonably level and sufficiently strong floor is required for the water chiller. If necessary,
additional structural members should be provided to transfer the weight of the unit to the
nearest beams.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are given in Table 1 and in the physical
data tables beginning on page 27.

Space Requirements for Connections and Servicing

The chilled water and condenser water (on units with a water-cooled condenser) piping enters
and leaves the unit from the right side when looking at the control panel. Left-hand condenser
connections are an option. A clearance of at least 3 feet (1219 mm), or more if codes require,
should be provided beyond this piping and on all other sides and ends of the unit for general
servicing or for changing the compressors, if it ever becomes necessary.

IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

On units equipped with a water-cooled condenser (Type WGZ-AW) clearance should also be
provided for cleaning or removal of condenser tubes on one end of the unit. The clearance for
cleaning depends on the type of apparatus used, but can be as much as the length of the
condenser (10 feet, 3050 mm). Tube replacement requires the tube length of 10 feet (3050
mm) plus one to two feet of workspace. This space can often be provided through a doorway
or other aperture.
Allow a minimum of 4-foot clearance in front of the control panel.

Placing the Unit

The small amount of vibration normally encountered with the water chiller makes this unit
particularly desirable for basement or ground floor installations where the unit can be mounted
directly to the floor. The floor construction should be such that the unit will not affect the
building structure, or transmit noise and vibration into the structure.

Vibration Isolators
It is recommended that isolators be used on all upper level installations or in areas where
vibration transmission is a consideration.
Figure 2, Isolator Locations

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.

Water
Connections

LF

FRF

The unit should be set initially on

shims or blocks at the listed spring
free height. When all piping, wiring,
flushing, charging, etc., is completed, the springs are adjusted upward to loosen the blocks or
shims that are then removed.
A rubber anti-skid pad should be used under isolators if hold-down bolts are not used.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping connections and at least three feet of
flexible electrical conduit to avoid straining the piping and transmitting vibration and noise.

Water Piping
Vessel Drains at Start-up
Condensers are drained of water in the factory and are shipped with condenser drain plugs in
the heads removed and stored in a bag in the control panel. Be sure to replace plugs prior to
filling the vessel with fluid.

General
Due to the variety of piping practices, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of local
authorities for code compliance. They can supply the installer with the proper building and
safety codes required for a safe and proper installation.
Basically, the piping should be designed with a minimum number of bends and changes in
elevation to keep system cost down and performance up. Other piping design considerations
include:
1. All piping should be installed and supported to prevent the chiller connections from
bearing any strain or weight of the system piping.
2. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
3. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during unit servicing.
4. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Drains should be
placed at the lowest points in the system.
5. Some means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (e.g., expansion tank or
regulating valve).
6. Temperature and pressure indicators located within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the inlet and
outlet of the vessels to aid in unit servicing.
7. A strainer or some means of removing foreign matter from the water before it enters the
pump is recommended. 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 life and thus maintain system performance.
Important Note
A cleanable 40-mesh strainer must also be placed in the water line just prior to the
inlet of the evaporator. This will aid in preventing foreign material from entering and
decreasing the performance of the evaporator.
8. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, the
system should be thoroughly flushed prior to unit installation. Regular water analysis and
chemical water treatment on the evaporator and condenser is recommended immediately
upon equipment start-up.
9. In the event glycol is added to the water system, as an afterthought for freeze protection,
recognize that the refrigerant suction pressure will be lower, cooling performance less, and
water side pressure drop will be higher. If the percentage of glycol is large, or if
propylene glycol is used instead of ethylene glycol, the added pressure drop and loss of
performance could be substantial. Reset the freezestat and low leaving water alarm
temperatures. The freezestat is factory set to default at 36F (2.2C). Reset the freezestat
setting to approximately 4 to 5F (2.3 to 2.8C) below the leaving chilled water setpoint
temperature. See the section titled Glycol Solutions for additional information
concerning the use of glycol.
10. A preliminary leak check of the water piping should be made before filling the system.

Note: A water flow switch or pressure differential switch must be mounted in the
evaporator outlet water line to signal that there is water flow before the unit will start.

NOTE: Water piping must be supported independently from the unit.

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 then 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 equipment, 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 four minutes times the flow rate (GPM). For
example, if the design chiller flow rate is 120 gpm, we recommend a minimum system volume
of 480 gallons (120 gpm x 4 minutes).
For process applications where the cooling load can change rapidly, additional system water
volume is needed. A process example would be the quenching of hot metal objects. The load
would be very stable until the hot metal is dipped into the water tank. Then, the load would
increase drastically.
Since there are many other factors that can influence performance, systems can successfully
operate below these suggestions. However, as the water volume decreases below these
guidelines, the possibility of problems increases.

Variable Chilled Water Flow

Reducing chilled water flow in proportion to load can reduce total system power consumption.
Certain restrictions apply to the amount and rate of flow change. The rate of flow change
should be a maximum of 10 percent of the change, per minute. Do not reduce flow lower than
the part load minimum flows listed on page 15.

Chilled Water Piping

The system water piping must be flushed thoroughly prior to making connections to the unit
evaporator. It is required that a 40-mesh strainer be installed in the return water line before
the inlet to the chiller. Lay out the water piping so the chilled water circulating pump
discharges into the evaporator inlet.

IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

11

The return water line must be piped to the evaporator inlet connection and the supply water
line must be piped to the evaporator outlet connection. If the evaporator water is piped in the
reverse direction, a substantial decrease in capacity and efficiency of the unit will be
experienced.
A flow switch must be installed in the horizontal piping of the supply (evaporator outlet) water
line to prove water flow before starting the unit.
Drain connections should be provided at all low points in the system to permit complete
drainage of the system. Air vents should be located at the high points in the system to purge
air out of the system. The evaporators are not equipped with vent or drain connections and
provision must be made in the entering and leaving chilled water piping for venting and
draining.
Pressure gauges should be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator.
Pressure drop through the evaporator should be measured to determine water flow from the
flow/pressure drop curves on page 16. Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the
supply and return water lines.
Chilled water piping should be insulated to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation.
Complete unit and system leak tests should be performed prior to insulating the water piping.
Insulation with a vapor barrier would be the recommended type of insulation. If the vessel is
insulated, the vent and drain connections must extend beyond the proposed insulation
thickness for accessibility.
Chillers not run in the winter should have their water systems thoroughly drained if subject to
sub-freezing temperatures. If the chiller operates year-round, or if the system is not drained
for the winter, the chilled water piping exposed to sub-freezing ambient temperatures should
be protected against freezing by wrapping the lines with a heater cable. In addition, an
adequate percentage of glycol should be added to the system to further protect the system
during low ambient temperature periods. It should be noted that water piping that has been
left drained is subject to more corrosion than if filled with water. Use of a Vapor Corrosion
Inhibitor (VCI) or some other protection should be considered.

The chilled water sensor is factory installed in

the leaving water connection on the evaporator.
Care should be taken not to damage the sensor
cable or lead wires when working around the
unit. It is also advisable to check the lead wire
before running the unit to be sure that it is
firmly anchored and not rubbing on the frame
or any other component. If the sensor is ever
removed from the well for servicing, care must
be taken to not wipe off the heat-conducting
compound supplied in the well.

CAUTION
The thermostat bulb should not be exposed to water temperatures above 125F
(51.7C) since this will damage it.

Flow Switch
A water flow switch must be mounted in the leaving evaporator and condenser water line to
prove adequate water flow before the unit can start. This will safeguard against slugging the
compressors on start-up. 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 part number 01750330. It is a paddle type
switch and adaptable to any pipe size from 1 in. (25 mm) to 6 in. (152 mm) nominal. Certain
minimum flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in Table 5. Electrical
connections in the unit control center should be made at terminals 33 and 43 (chilled water)
and 41 and 53 (condenser water). 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 1 in.
(25 mm) reducing tee. The flow arrow must be pointed in the correct direction.
2. Piping should provide a straight length before and after the flow switch of at least five
times the pipe diameter without any valves, elbows, or other flow restricting elements.
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 pointed in the direction of 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). Incorrect installation will cause improper operation and possible
evaporator damage.

Glycol Solutions
When using a glycol solution, the chiller capacity, flow rate, evaporator pressure drop, and
chiller power input can be calculated using the following formulas and reference to Table 6 for
ethylene glycol and Table 7 for propylene glycol.
1. Capacity, Capacity is reduced compared to that with plain water. To find the reduced
value, multiply the chillers capacity when using water by the capacity correction factor C
to find the chillers capacity when using glycol.
2. Flow, To determine evaporator gpm (or T) knowing T (or gpm) and capacity:
Glycol GPM =

For Metric Applications -- Determine evaporator lps (or T) knowing T (or lps) and
kW:
Glycol Lps =

x Flow Correction G from Tables
4.18 x T

3. Pressure Drop, To determine glycol pressure drop through the cooler, enter the water
pressure drop graph on page 15 at the actual glycol flow. Multiply the water pressure drop
found there by P to obtain corrected glycol pressure drop.
4. Power, To determine glycol system kW, multiply the water system kW by factor K.
Test coolant with a clean, accurate, glycol solution hydrometer (similar to that found in service
stations) to determine the freezing point. Obtain percent glycol from the freezing point found
in Table 6 or Table 7. On glycol applications the supplier normally recommends that a
minimum of 25% solution by weight be used for protection against corrosion or the use of
additional inhibitors.
Note: The effect of glycol in the condenser is negligible. As glycol increases in
temperature, its characteristics have a tendency to mirror those of water. Therefore,
for selection purposes, there is no derate in capacity for glycol in the condenser.

CAUTION
Do not use automotive antifreeze. Industrial glycols must be used. Automotive
antifreeze contains inhibitors that causes plating on copper tubes. The type and
handling of glycol used must be consistent with local codes.

Condenser Water Piping

Arrange the condenser water so the water enters the bottom connection of the condenser. The
condenser water will discharge from the top connection. Failing to arrange the condenser
water as stated above will negatively affect the capacity and efficiency.
Install pressure gauges in the inlet and outlet water lines to the condenser. Pressure drop
through the condenser should be measured to determine flow on the pressure drop/flow curves
on page 17. Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines.
Install a 20-mesh strainer in the inlet piping to the condenser.

WGZ 030A through 100A

IMM WGZ-2

Water-cooled condensers can be piped for use with cooling towers, well water, or heat
recovery applications. Cooling tower applications should be made with consideration of
freeze protection and scaling problems. Contact the cooling tower manufacturer for
equipment characteristics and limitations for the specific application.
Head pressure control must be provided if the entering condenser water can fall below 60F.
The WGZ condenser has two refrigerant circuits with a common condenser water circuit. This
arrangement makes head pressure control with discharge pressure actuated control valves
difficult.
If for some reason the tower water temperature cannot be maintained at a 60F minimum, or
when pond, lake, or well water that can fall below 60F (15C) is used as the condensing
medium, special discharge pressure control must be used. A water recirculating system with
recirculating pump as shown in Figure 9 is recommended. This system also has the advantage
of maintaining tube velocity to help prevent tube fouling. The pump should cycle with the
chiller.

Minimum Flow Rates

Design Full Load Chilled Water Flows
The evaporator flow rates and pressure drops shown on the following page are for full load design
purposes. The maximum flow rate and pressure drop are based on a 6-degree temperature drop. Avoid
higher flow rates with resulting lower temperature drops to prevent potential control problems resulting
from very small control bands and limited start up/shut off temperature changes.
The minimum flow and pressure drop is based on a full load evaporator temperature drop of 16-degrees.

Minimum Flows for Variable Flow Pumping Systems

This design full load minimum flow is not to be confused with the part load minimum flow rate that
must be maintained for chillers operating in primary variable flow pumping systems. As chiller load
drops, the flow rate for this pumping system also reduces. See the following table for the minimum part
load flow rates. Other design practices for variable flow systems requiring a range of evaporator flow
rates can be found on page 11.
These minimum flow rates assume that flow will be reduced proportionally to the cooling load.

Refrigerant Piping
Unit with Remote Condenser
General
Refrigerant piping, to and from the unit, should be sized and installed according to the latest
ASHRAE Handbook. It is important that the unit piping be properly supported with sound
and vibration isolation between tubing and hanger, and that the discharge lines be looped at
the condenser and trapped at the compressor to prevent refrigerant and oil from draining into
the compressors. Looping the discharge line also provides greater line flexibility.
The discharge gas valves, liquid line solenoids, filter-driers, moisture indicators, and
thermostatic expansion valves are all factory mounted as standard equipment with the water
chiller.
For remote condenser application (WGZ-AA) such as air-cooled or evaporative condenser, the
chillers are shipped with an R-22 holding charge. Some special order units may have R-407c
refrigerant. The unit is evacuated in the factory to 500 microns before charging with a holding
charge of R-22 (407c) refrigerant. The unit is leak tested after charging and before shipment.
The liquid line has a shutoff valve upstream from the liquid line solenoid valve and a copper
tube cap to be brazed on this line after test to seal this line for shipment.
The discharge line has a ball valve installed between the compressor and the discharge stub
tube with a copper tube cap brazed on the line after test to seal it for shipment.
The discharge gas valves, liquid line solenoids, filter-driers, moisture indicators, and
thermostatic expansion valves are all factory-mounted as standard equipment with the water
chiller.

DANGER
Do not apply heat, such as a brazing torch, to a sealed unit, vessel, or component. Internal
gases can increase the internal pressure and cause a life-threatening explosion. Open the
system when heating. The short line between a valve and brazed end cap can be drilled to
vent it. Note that the valve may leak and the entire unit charge may be open to the cap.
It is important that the unit be kept tightly closed until the remote condenser is installed, piped
to the unit and the high side evacuated. NOTE: it is possible to maintain a positive refrigerant
pressure in the unit when a small leak is present. Therefore, add refrigerant to the unit to
achieve sufficient pressure to allow a good leak test and carefully leak test the unit. Correct
any leaks found.
When the field piping has been leak tested, evacuated, and is ready to charge, the unit valves
can be opened and the system charged.
Alternate method: an alternate method is to open up the unit to the field piping and to
pressure test, evacuate and charge the entire system together at one time. Many people feel
that this is a more straight-forward approach.
Refrigerant piping, to and from the unit, should be sized and installed according to the latest
ASHRAE Handbook. It is important that the unit piping be properly supported with sound
and vibration isolation between tubing and hanger, and that the discharge lines be looped at

18

IMM WGZ-2

the condenser and trapped at the compressor to prevent refrigerant and oil from draining into
the compressors. Looping the discharge line also provides greater line flexibility.
NOTE: Do not run refrigerant piping underground.
After the equipment is properly installed, leak tested, and evacuated, it can be charged with
R-22, and run at design load conditions. Add charge until the liquid line sight glass is clear,
with no bubbles flowing to the expansion valve. Total operating charge will depend on the aircooled condenser used and volume of the refrigerant piping.
NOTE: On WGZ-AA units (units with remote condensers), the installer is required to record
the refrigerant charge by stamping the total charge and the charge per circuit on the serial plate
in the appropriate blocks provided for this purpose.
The following discussion is intended for use as a general guide to the piping of air-cooled
condensers.
Discharge lines must be designed to handle oil properly and to protect the compressor from
damage that can result from condensing liquid refrigerant in the line during shutdown. Total
friction loss for discharge lines of 3 to 6 psi (20.7 to 41.4 kPa) is considered good design.
Careful consideration must be given for sizing each section of piping to insure that gas
velocities are sufficient at all operating conditions to carry oil. If the velocity in a vertical
discharge riser is too low, considerable oil can collect in the riser and the horizontal header,
causing the compressor to lose its oil and result in damage due to lack of lubrication. When
the compressor load is increased, the oil that had collected during reduced loads can be carried
as a slug through the system and back to the compressor, where a sudden increase of oil
concentration can cause liquid slugging and damage to the compressor.
Any horizontal run of discharge piping should be pitched away from the compressor
approximately 1/8 inch (6.4 mm) per foot (meter) or more. This is necessary to move, by
gravity, any oil lying in the header. Oil pockets must be avoided because oil needed in the
compressor would collect at such points and the compressor crankcase can become starved.
It is recommended that any discharge lines coming into a horizontal discharge header rise
above the centerline of the discharge header. This is necessary to prevent any oil or condensed
liquid from draining to the compressor heads when the compressor is not running.
In designing liquid lines, it is important that the liquid reach the expansion valve without flash
gas since this gas will reduce the capacity of the valve. Because flashing can be caused by a
pressure drop in the liquid line, the pressure losses due to friction and changes in static head
should be kept to a minimum.
A check valve must be installed in the liquid line in all applications where the ambient
temperature can drop below the equipment room temperature. This prevents liquid migration
to the condenser, helps maintain a supply of refrigerant in the liquid line for initial start-up,
and keeps liquid line pressure high enough on off cycle to keep the expansion valve closed.
On systems as described above, a relief valve or relief-type check valve, must be used in the
liquid line as shown in piping systems (shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13). Its purpose is to
relieve dangerous hydraulic pressures that could be created as cool liquid refrigerant trapped
in the line between the check valve and the expansion or shutoff valve warms up. A relief
device is also recommended in the hot gas piping at the condenser coil as shown in Figure 12
and Figure 13.
Install a discharge check valve in the discharge line, in a horizontal run, close to the
condenser.

Typical Arrangements
Figure 12 illustrates a typical piping arrangement involving a remote air-cooled condenser
located at a higher elevation than the compressor and receiver. This arrangement is commonly
encountered when the air-cooled condenser is on a roof and the compressor and receiver are
on grade level or in a basement equipment room.
Notice, in both illustrations, that the hot gas line is looped at the bottom and top of the vertical
run. This is done to prevent oil and condensed refrigerant from flowing back into the
compressor and causing damage. The highest point in the discharge line should always be
above the highest point in the condenser coil. It is advisable to include a purging vent at this
point to extract non-condensables from the system.
Figure 13 illustrates another very common application where the air-cooled condenser is
located on essentially the same level as the compressor and receiver. The discharge line
piping in this case is not too critical. The principal problem encountered with this
arrangement is that there is frequently insufficient vertical distance to allow free drainage of
liquid refrigerant from the condenser coil to the receiver.
The receiver is used when it is desired to have refrigerant storage capacity, in addition to the
pumpdown capability of the condenser.

Factory-Mounted Condenser
Units with the standard water-cooled, factory-mounted condenser are provided with complete
refrigerant piping and full operating refrigerant charge at the factory.
There is a remote possibility on water-cooled units utilizing low temperature pond or river
water as a condensing medium, and if the water valves leak, that the condenser and liquid line
refrigerant temperature could drop below the equipment room temperature on the off cycle.
This problem only arises during periods when cold water continues to circulate through the
condenser and the unit remains off due to satisfied cooling load.
If this condition occurs:
1. Cycle the condenser pump off with the unit.
2. Check the liquid line solenoid valve for proper operation.

Relief Valve Piping

The ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems, specifies that
pressure relief valves on vessels containing Group 1 refrigerant (R-22) shall discharge to the
atmosphere at a location not less than 15 feet (4.6 meters) above the adjoining ground level
and not less than 20 feet (6.1 meters) 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
with 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).
The size of the discharge pipe from the pressure relief valve should not be less than the size of
the pressure relief outlet. When two or more vessels are piped together, the common header
and piping to the atmosphere should not be less than the sum of the area of each of the lines
connected to the header.
NOTE: Fittings should be provided to permit vent piping to be easily disconnected for
inspection or replacement of the relief valve.

Wiring
Field Wiring, Power
The WGZ A vintage chillers are built standard with compressor contractors and power
terminal block, designed for single power supply to the 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 transformer is standard. Optionally, a field-installed control
power source can be wired to the unit.
Circuit breakers for backup compressor short circuit protection are standard on all units.
Wiring and conduit selections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or local
requirements.
An open fuse indicates a short, ground, or overload. Before replacing a fuse or restarting a
compressor, the trouble must be found and corrected. Tables in the Electrical Data section
(page 35) give specific information on recommended wire sizes.
Unit power inlet wiring must enter the control box (right side) through a patch plate provided
for field terminating conduit. (Refer to control panel dimension drawings for general location
of power inlet and components.)
NOTE: Use only copper conductors in main terminal block. Terminations are sized for
copper only.

Field Wiring, Control

A factory-mounted control transformer is provided to supply the correct control circuit
voltage.
The transformer power leads are connected to the power block PB1 or disconnect switch DS1.

Interlock Wiring, Condenser Pump Starter or Air Cooled Condenser Fan

Starter
Provisions are made for interlocking a condenser pump starter, tower fans, a tower bypass
valve, or up to eight air-cooled condenser fan contactors to be controlled by the MicroTech II
unit controller. Condenser fan operation can also be controlled by pressure switches supplied
with the condenser. Coil voltage must be 115 volts with a maximum of 20 VA.
An evaporator and condenser (water-cooled units only) flow switch is necessary on all units. It
is also advisable to wire a chilled water pump interlock in series with the flow switch for
additional freeze protection.

Ambient Air Sensor

Units with a remote air-cooled condenser will have an outdoor air sensor furnished with the
unit, inside the control panel and wired to the correct terminals. It must be installed outdoors
in a location that will give the true outdoor temperature that the condenser coils will see.
Splicing of the sensor lead may be required. The sensor must be installed for the unit to
operate.

Optional Remote Interface Panel

The box containing the optional remote interface panel will have installation instructions,
IOM- MT II Remote, in it.

IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

Unit Configuration
The chiller unit has two refrigerant circuits, two tandem scroll compressors (total of four), a
single two-circuited brazed plate evaporator, a single two-circuited water-cooled condenser,
interconnecting refrigerant piping and a control panel with associated sensors and transducers.

NOTES:
1. Unit wire sizing amps are equal to 125% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of RLA of all other loads in the
circuit including control transformer.
2. Single point power supply requires a single fused disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit.
3. Multiple point power supply requires two independent power circuits with separate fused disconnects. (Two compressor
circuits, control circuit will be wired to Circuit #1 from the factory)

Notes for Electrical Data Single Point Power:

1. If a separate 115V power supply is used for the control circuit, then the wire sizing amps
is 10 amps for all unit sizes.
2. 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.
3. The recommended power lead wire sizes are based on an ambient temperature of 86F
(30C). Ampacity correction factors must be applied for other ambient temperatures.
Refer to the National Electrical Code Handbook.
4. Must be electrically grounded according to national and local electrical codes.

Voltage Limitations:
1. Within 10 percent of nameplate rating
2. 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.

Notes for Field Wiring Data

1. Requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit. This power supply
must either be fused or use an HACR type circuit breaker.
2. All field wiring to unit power block or optional non-fused disconnect switch must be
copper.
3. All field wire size values given in table apply to 75C rated wire per NEC.

Supplemental Overloads Option -Supplemental overloads option is used to reduce the required electrical service size and wire
sizing to the water cooled version of WGZ chillers. The overloads reduce the electrical
ratings for the compressor because water-cooled duty is less severe than air cooled duty. The
overload option is only available for models with water-cooled condensers (not WGZ-AA
models with air-cooled condensers) and having single point electrical power connections.
Refer to the electrical data on pages 35, 37, and 38 for the reduced electrical requirements

Motor Protection Module

The motor protection system consists of an external control module, located on each
compressor, connected to a series of thermistors located in the motor windings and the
compressor discharge port. If the windings experience an over-temperature condition or the
discharge temperature is excessive, the module will trip and shut off the compressor for a 30minute time delay.

Start-Up and Shutdown

Complete operating instructions are contained in Operating Manual OM WGZ.

Pre Start-up
1. The chilled-water system should be flushed and cleaned. Proper water treatment is
required to prevent corrosion and organic growth.
2. With main disconnect open, check all electrical connections in control panel and starter to
be sure they are tight and provide good electrical contact. Although connections are
tightened at the factory, they can loosen enough in shipment to cause a malfunction.
3. Check and inspect all water piping. Make sure flow direction is correct and piping is
made to correct connection on evaporator and condenser.
4. Open all water flow valves to the condenser and evaporator.
5. Flush the cooling tower and system piping to be sure the system is clean. Start evaporator
pump and manually start condenser pump and cooling tower. Check all piping for leaks.
Vent the air from the evaporator and condenser water circuit, as well as from the entire
water system. The cooler circuit should contain clean, treated, non-corrosive water.
6. Check to see that the evaporator water thermostat sensor is securely installed.
7. Making sure control stop switch S1 is open (off) and pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2
are on manual pumpdown, place the main power and control disconnect switches to
on. This will energize the crankcase heaters. Wait a minimum of 12 hours before
starting the unit.
8. Check compressor oil level. Prior to start-up, the oil level should cover at least one-third
of the oil sight glass located in the equalizing line between the compressors or on the
compressor.
9. Check water pressure drop across evaporator and condenser, and see that water flow is
correct (on pages 15 and 16) per the design flow rates.
10. Check the actual line voltage to the unit to make sure it is the same as called for on the
compressor nameplate, within + 10%, and that phase voltage unbalance does not exceed
3%. Verify that adequate power supply and capacity is available to handle load.
11. Make sure all wiring and fuses are of the proper size. Also make sure that all interlock
wiring is completed per McQuay diagrams.
12. Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections by code authorities have been
completed.
13. Make sure all auxiliary load and control equipment is operative and that an adequate
cooling load is available for initial start-up.

Start-up
1. Open the compressor discharge shutoff valves until backseated. Always replace valve seal
caps.
2. Open the two manual liquid line shutoff valves.
3. Check to see that the unit circuit breakers are in the off position.
4. Check to see that the pumpdown switches, PS1 and PS2, are in the manual pumpdown
position and the control system switch S1 is in the off position.
5. Put the main power and control circuit disconnects to the on position.

IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

6. Verify crankcase heaters have operated for at least 12 hours prior to start-up. Crankcase
should be warm to the touch.
7. Check that the MicroTech II controller is set to the desired chilled water temperature.
8. Start the system auxiliary equipment for the installation by turning on the time clock,
ambient thermostat and/or remote on/off switch and water pumps.
9. Check resets of all equipment protection controls.
10. Switch on the unit circuit breakers.
11. Set pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to auto for restart and normal operation.
12. Start the system by setting the system switch S1 to on.
13. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in each compressor crankcase,
rotation of condenser fans (if any), and check for flashing in the refrigerant sight glass.
14. After system performance has stabilized, it is necessary that the Compressorized
Equipment Warranty Form (Form No. 206036A) be completed to establish
commencement of the warranty period. Be sure to list the pressure drop across both
vessels. This form is shipped with the unit and after completion should be returned to the
McQuayService Department through your sales representative.

Weekend or Temporary Shutdown

Move pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to the manual pumpdown position. After the
compressors have pumped down, turn off the chilled water pump. Note: With the unit in this
condition, it will not restart until these switches are turned back on. The unit has one-time
pumpdown. It is important that the compressors pump down before the water flow to the unit
is interrupted to avoid freeze-up in the evaporator.
Leave S1 on and power to the unit so that the crankcase heaters will remain energized.

Start-up after Temporary Shutdown

1. Start the water pumps.
2. With the control system switch S1 in the on position, move the pumpdown switches PS1
and PS2 to the auto pumpdown position.
3. Observe the unit operation for a short time, noting unusual sounds or possible cycling of
compressors.
4. Check compressor crankcase heaters.

Extended Shutdown

System Maintenance
General
To provide 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 inspection and must be combined with sound
refrigeration and electrical practices to provide trouble-free performance.
The liquid line sight glass/moisture indicator on all circuits must be checked to be sure that the
glass is full and clear and that 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 can tend to foul the water-cooled condenser to the point where
cleaning is necessary. The fouled condenser will be indicated by an abnormally high
condenser approach temperature (saturated discharge temperature minus leaving condenser
water temperature) and can result in nuisance trip-outs. To clean the condenser, mechanical
cleaning or a chemical descaling solution should be used according to the manufacturers
directions.
Systems with remote air-cooled condensers require periodic cleaning of the finned surface of
the condenser coil.
Cleaning can be accomplished by using a cold water spray, brushing, vacuuming, or highpressure air. No tools should be used that could damage the coil tubes or fins.
The compressor oil level must be checked periodically to be sure that the level is at the center
of the oil sightglass located in the compressor's equalizing line or on the compressor itself.
Low oil level can cause inadequate lubrication and if oil must be added, use oils referred to in
the following Compressor Lubrication section.
A pressure tap has been provided on the liquid line downstream of the filter-drier and solenoid
valve but before the expansion valve. An accurate subcooled liquid pressure and temperature
can be taken here. The pressure read here could also provide an indication of excessive
pressure drop through the filter-drier and solenoid valve due to a clogging filter-drier. Note: A
normal pressure drop through the solenoid valve is approximately 3 psig (20.7 kPa) at full
load conditions.

CAUTION
Warranty may be affected if wiring is not in accordance with specifications. A
blown fuse or tripped protector indicates a short ground or overload. Before
replacing fuse or restarting 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 controls can cause serious damage
to equipment and void the warranty.

48

WGZ 030A through 100A

IMM WGZ-2

DANGER
The panel is always energized to ground even when the system switch is off.
To de-energize the complete panel including crankcase heaters, pull the main
unit disconnect. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury or death.
If motor or compressor damage is suspected, do not restart until qualified service personnel
have checked the unit.

Electrical Terminals
WARNING
To avoid injury from electric shock hazard, turn off all power and perform
lockout and tag-out of source before continuing with the following service.
Note that the unit might be powered from multiple sources.
All power electrical terminals should be re-tightened every six months, as they tend to loosen
due to normal heating and cooling of the wire.

Compressor Lubrication
The oil level should be watched carefully upon initial start-up and regularly thereafter.
All tandem compressors on WGZ units come equipped with one or two oil equalization lines
connecting the crankcase of each set of compressors in each refrigerant circuit. This allows
the oil to move from one compressor crankcase to the other during normal operation, and
balance between the two when the compressors are off. The oil sight glass is located in the
equalization line on one circuit of the WGZ 070 and both circuits of WGZ 080 through WGZ
100. All other models have the oil sight glass in the compressor body. In either case, the oil
level should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the glass.
At the present time, standard refrigerant mineral oils such as Suniso No. 3GS, Calumet R015,
and Texaco WF32 oils are approved by Copeland for use in these compressors.
Oil can be added to the Copeland compressor through the oil fill hole in the crankcase.
Special equipment is required to add oil and the work should be done by qualified
refrigeration technicians with the proper training and equipment.

Sight glass and Moisture Indicator

The refrigerant sight glasses should be observed periodically. A monthly observation should
be adequate. A clear glass of liquid indicates that there is adequate refrigerant charge in the
system to provide proper feed through the expansion valve. The sight glass should be clear
when:

Ambient temperature is above 75F (23C)

Both compressors on a circuit are running
All fans on a circuit are running

Bubbling refrigerant in the sight glass may occur at other conditions and may indicate that the
system is short of refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sight glass could also
indicate an excessive pressure drop in the line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a
restriction elsewhere in the system. An element inside the sight glass indicates what moisture
condition corresponds to a given element color. If the sight glass does not indicate a dry
IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

49

condition after about 12 hours of operation, the unit should be pumped down and the filterdriers changed.
If the system is suspected of being short of refrigerant, a qualified service technician with EPA
certification should be contacted to thoroughly check out the unit and add refrigerant if
necessary.

Crankcase Heaters
The compressors are equipped with crankcase heaters. The function of the heater is to keep
the temperature in the crankcase high enough to prevent refrigerant from migrating to the
crankcase and condensing in the oil during off-cycle. When a system is to be started up
initially, the power to the heaters should be turned on for at least 12 hours before the
compressors are started. The crankcase should be up to about 80F (26.7C) before the system
is started up, to minimize lubrication problems or liquid slugging of compressor on start-up.
If the crankcase is cool (below 80F) (26.7C) and the oil level in the sight glass is full to top,
allow more time for oil to warm before starting the compressor.
The crankcase heaters are on whenever power is supplied to the unit and the compressor is not
running.

Optional Controls
Phase/Voltage Monitor (Optional)
The phase/voltage monitor is a device that provides protection against three-phase electrical
motor loss due to power failure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal. Whenever any of
these conditions occur, an input relay is deactivated, disconnecting power to the thermostatic
control circuit. The compressor do a rapid shutdown pump down.
The input relay remains deactivated until power line conditions 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 input relay should close and the run light
should come on. If the relay does not close, perform the following tests.
1. Check the voltages between L1-L2, L1-L3, and L2-L3. These voltages should be
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 the problem.
3. If the voltages are good, turn off the power and inter-change any two of the supply power
leads at the disconnect switch.
This may be necessary, as the phase/voltage monitor is sensitive to phase reversal. Turn on the
power. The relay should now close after the appropriate delay.
Factory settings are as follows:
Voltage Setting, set at nameplate voltage.
Trip Delay Time, 2 seconds
Restart Delay Time, 60 seconds

50

WGZ 030A through 100A

IMM WGZ-2

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.
The pressure regulating valve is a Sporlan SHGBE-8 and factory set to begin opening at 69
psig and can be changed by changing the pressure setting. The adjustment range is 0 to 100
psig. 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 adjustment
beyond the range it is designed for, 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.
WARNING
The hot gas line can become hot enough to cause personal injury in a very
short time; care should be taken during valve checkout.

System Service
DANGER
Service on this equipment is to be performed only by qualified refrigeration
personnel. Causes for repeated tripping of equipment protection controls must
be investigated and corrected. Disconnect all power before doing any service
inside the unit or serious personal injury or death can occur.

NOTE: Anyone servicing this equipment must comply with the requirements set forth
by the EPA concerning refrigerant reclamation and venting.

Filter-Driers
To change the filter-drier, pump the unit down (with the compressor running) by closing the
manual liquid line shutoff valve(s). The unit will start pumping down until it reaches the lowpressure cutoff setting of 58 psi.
Close the discharge valve. Remove the refrigerant in the liquid line with a recovery unit to
EPA required pressure. Remove and replace the filter-drier(s). Evacuate the lines through the
liquid line manual shutoff valve(s) to remove noncondensables that may have entered during
filter replacement. A leak check is recommend before returning the unit to operation.

Liquid Line Solenoid Valve

The liquid line solenoid valve(s), which are responsible for automatic pumpdown during
normal unit operation, do not normally require any maintenance. However, in the event of
failure they can require replacement of the solenoid coil or of the entire valve assembly.
The solenoid coil can be removed from the valve body without opening the refrigerant piping
by moving pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the manual position.
The coil can then be removed from the valve body by simply removing a nut or snap-ring
located at the top of the coil. The coil can then be slipped off its mounting stud for
replacement. Be sure to replace the coil on its mounting stud before returning pumpdown
switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the auto pumpdown position.
To replace the entire solenoid valve, follow the steps for changing a filter-drier.

Thermostatic Expansion 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 WGZ chillers are
factory set for between 8F and 12F (4.4C to 6.7C) superheat at full load.

IMM WGZ-2

WGZ 030A through 120A

53

To increase the superheat setting of the valve, remove the cap at the bottom of the valve to
expose the adjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (when viewed from the adjustment
screw end) to increase the superheat and counterclockwise to reduce superheat. Allow time
for system rebalance after each superheat adjustment.
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 filterdrier.
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.
Figure 24, Thermostatic Expansion Valve

CAUTION
Adjustment of expansion valve should only be performed by a qualified service
technician. Failure to do so can result in improper unit operation.
Note: Superheat will vary with compressor unloading, but should be approximately as
follows: between 8F and 12F (4.4C and 6.7C) at full load; between 6F and 10F at part
load.

Water-cooled Condenser
The condenser is of the shell-and-tube type with water flowing through the tubes and
refrigerant in the shell. External finned copper tubes are rolled into steel tube sheets and to the
center dividing tube sheet. Integral subcoolers are incorporated on all units. All condensers
are equipped with 450 psig (3104 kPa) relief valves. Normal tube cleaning procedures can be
followed.

Evaporator
The evaporator is a sealed, brazed-stainless steel plate unit. Normally no service work is
required on the evaporator.
