Model Description

In addition to the features described in the previous section, each model has unique features

and components that determine its cost/efficiency/sound-level mix.

Model ACL and ACX

Two mid-line units offering a combination of excellent efficiency and sound ratings at a

moderate price.

Fan Motors: 830 rpm fan motors; the ACX having 1.0 HP and the ACL having 1.5 HP

Fan Blades: Both models have patented blade design providing high air flow capacity with

low sound levels. The ACL has a slightly more aggressive design, moving more air for

greater capacity, but with larger motors and a sound level higher by about 3 db.

Galvanized Steel Cabinet: Galvanized steel is standard with painted galvanized or

aluminum as options.

Model ACH

The ACH model offers the most capacity per dollar for applications where efficiency and

sound level are not critical.

Fan Motors: Fan motors are 1140 rpm, 1.5 HP

Fan Blades: Standard fan blades are furnished, providing maximum air flow but with higher

sound levels and lower efficiency.

Galvanized Steel Cabinet: Galvanized steel is standard with painted galvanized or

aluminum as options.

Fan/Circuit Configuration

Fan Rows: All models have either one or dual rows of fans with up to seven fans in a row,

for a total of 14 fans for a dual row unit. The number of fan rows is part of the Model Code

as shown on the previous page.

Refrigerant Circuits: Dual row condensers have two refrigerant circuits, one for each row of

fans and match up with McQuay WGZ and WGS chillers, which have two circuits. The

two refrigerant circuits can be optionally equipped with a factory manifold to make one

refrigerant circuit.

Single row condensers have a single refrigerant circuit and must be used in pairs on

McQuay chillers, each condenser matched to one of the chiller circuits. A pair of single

row units is usually only used in the rare case when space requirements dictate two long

narrow condensers end to end or when they are in separate locations.

The single row configuration allows more ambient air to flow through the coils than does a

unit with a dual row, side-by-side fans and so they often have a little more capacity than a

two row unit with the same number of fans. For a given capacity, two single row

condensers will cost more than a single dual row unit.

Dual fan, two circuit condensers can be manifolded together to form a single refrigeration

circuit.

Design Features and Benefits

Ease of Installation

The condensers are designed to reduce the cost and time

required for installation. All lifting brackets are factory

installed, and the legs are designed for quick installations.

Fan motors are factory wired to a control panel providing a

single point for field wiring. The control panel has a through

the door disconnect. A variety of fan cycling control panels

can be factory mounted and wired to the condenser,

eliminating the need for a field-mounted built-up control

panel.

Dynamic Stress Testing

Fan motor and blade assemblies have undergone dynamic

stress testing. This testing measures the stress levels and

frequency of vibration of the fan during actual operation of

the condenser. This type of testing ensures a design with low

vibration levels and long, trouble-free service life of the air

moving assembly.

Condenser Cabinet

Condenser cabinets are designed for attractive appearance and corrosion protection.

Models ACH, ACX, and ACL are galvanized with painted galvanized or with aluminum

construction as an option.

Condensers have a unique internal frame design consisting of heavy gauge galvanized steel

tube sheets and motor rails. Fan motors are bolted to motor rail for increased reliability,

reduced noise and vibration, and ease of replacement.

Full width fan baffles are provided to increase unit rigidity and prevent windmilling during

fan cycling.

Condenser Coils

The standard condensers use high efficiency coils with corrugated aluminum fins bonded to

staggered copper tubes. Condenser coils are designed to operate with the new generation of

environmentally safe refrigerants.

Sub-coolers

Sub-coolers are pre-piped, integral components. Capacity listings have sub-cooling

incorporated in the ratings, making selection easier and simplifying installation

requirements.

Multi-circuiting

Multi circuiting of the condenser to match the system requirement is available at no extra

cost. Each circuit has its own inlet and outlet connection, labeled to avoid installation

confusion. McQuay WGZ scroll and WGS screw chillers all have two refrigerant circuits.

Lifting lugs are factory mounted for easy rigging and installation.

McQuay condensers have been thoroughly tested to guarantee

high performance.

6 Catalog A-C Condensers

Floating Tube

All condensers use a Patented Floating Tube Design (U.S.

Patent No. 5,158,134) to eliminate refrigerant leaks at the tube

sheets. Additional tubes are added to the condenser coil.

These tubes are expanded into the aluminum fins and

condenser tube sheets. These anchor tubes support the weight

of the coil, but are not a part of the refrigerant circuit. The

tubes in the refrigerant circuit are expanded into the fins, but

“float” through oversized holes in the tube sheets. Tube sheet

leaks are virtually eliminated, since the tubes which carry

refrigerant never come in contact with the tube sheet.

Fan Motors

Condenser fan motors are high efficiency, three phase

motors designed for outdoor condenser applications.

Motors have thermal overload protection and permanently

lubricated ball bearings. Separate fan motors are designed

for 1140 rpm, 830 rpm or variable speed. All motors are

factory wired to a condenser control panel to provide a

single point for field wiring. Fan motors are available in

460/3/60, 208-230/3/60 or 575/3/60 on the ACH model

only.

Fan Blades

Direct drive fan blades are designed to pull air through the

condenser coil to ensure uniform air distribution over the entire

coil. Fan blades have been selected and laboratory tested for

optimum performance and minimum noise at each operating

speed. Model ACH uses standard fan blades, Models ACX and

ACL use a specially designed blade with lower sound levels.

Fan Guards

Fan guards are PVC coated steel for maximum corrosion

protection. Fan guards have extended height to increase

the distance from the fan blade to the guard, reducing the

noise level of the condenser.

Fin Spacing

Standard condenser fin spacing is 14 fins per inch (fpi). Fin spacing of 10, and 12 fins-per-

inch are optionally available.

Weather Protection

All units have a weatherproof control panel with door-mounted interrupt disconnect switch

and Sealtite® wiring as an option.

Patented design floating tubes dramatically reduce tube sheet

leaks.

Discharge Pressure Control

Proper application of controls is important to a successful installation. McQuay air-cooled

condensers have several control options available.

System Arrangements:

The fan control arrangement for WGZ and WGS chillers are shown in Table 2 and Table 3

on page 8. Condenser pressure control is accomplished by varying the total coil airflow by

either changing the number of operating fans and/or the speed of the “first on, last off” fan.

The number of control stages is shown in the tables. The SpeedTrol option should be used

when unit operation is expected in ambient temperatures between 0°F and 35°F. When

condenser circuits are manifolded, the corresponding controls need to be coupled together.

Control Options:

Four standard control options are available. Other special options can be offered to meet

individual requirements.

1. Standard Control (Code NN)

The standard unit is provided with a contactor for each fan motor. A customer-supplied,

and field-installed control signal from another source is required to energize each contactor

based on the condenser pressure. Field wiring between the compressorized product and

remote condenser is required. Refer to local codes for this wiring. The contactor control

voltage is 115 volts and a transformer is not provided but is an available option.

Typical control logic is to start additional fans as condensing pressure increases. Although

the parameters of the companion refrigeration system dictate the control strategy, it is good

practice to only use this option for operation above ambient air temperatures of 35°F.

Standard Control using Chiller MicroTech Control Staging

The Standard Control (Code Y) or Standard Control with SpeedTrol (Code C) can utilize

the standard pressure sensing capability of a McQuay chiller’s MicroTech controller(s) to

stage the fans. The WGZ chiller has a single microprocessor with eight fan control digital

outputs, four for each refrigerant circuit. The WGS chiller has a separate controller for

each of the two circuits with six fan stages, for a total of twelve for the unit.

Field wiring is required between the chiller MicroTech controller and the fan contactors

located in the condenser. The number of connections will depend on the condenser size and

arrangement as shown in Table 2 or Table 3.

This option uses the standard condenser control included with the condenser and the

standard MicroTech control included with the chiller. Field-supplied interconnecting

wiring is the only cost associated with this arrangement. It does not provide variable speed

for operation below 35°F. Use control option #2 to add Speedtrol for operation from 35°F.

to 0°F.

2. Standard Control with SpeedTrol (Code ST)

This option is identical to the Standard Control (Code = NN) except the “first on, last off”

fan will have a variable speed drive. As the ambient air temperature drops below 35°F, the

fan speed will slow down, reducing condenser air flow, to maintain the minimum allowable

condensing pressure for the companion unit. A control transformer is provided to power the

variable speed drive.

Important: This option does not include a method of starting or cycling the balance of fans

on the condenser. Some means to do so must be supplied, mounted and wired in the field.

The MicroTech controller on McQuay WGZ or WGS chillers can provide this staging

function or some other multi-step controller or multiple pressure switches can be used.

Page 8: Mcquay Chiller Cond

8 Catalog A-C Condensers

3. Pressure Switch Control with Control Transformer (Code MH)

This option provides direct control of discharge pressure through a series of factory-

mounted and wired pressure switches (designated as FCP-Fan Cycle Pressure Control-on

the wiring diagrams). As the condenser pressure increases, more pressure switches close

and start additional condenser fans. Field wiring between the compressorized product and

the remote condenser is not required. A control power transformer is included for 115-volt

power for the control voltage. Although the parameters of the refrigerant system dictates, it

is good practice to only use this option only for operation above ambient air temperatures of

35°F.

4. Pressure Switch Control with Control Transformer and SpeedTrol (Code VM)

This option is identical to the pressure switch control system described above except with

the addition of variable speed control to the “first on, last off” fan for each circuit. As

ambient temperatures drop below 35°F, the fan speed will be reduced to maintain the proper

minimum condenser pressure.

Selection Procedure

The capacity for air-cooled condensers is based on Total Heat of Rejection (THR) at the

condenser. Total heat of rejection is equal to net refrigeration at the evaporator (compressor

capacity) plus the energy input into the refrigerant by the compressor (heat of compression).

The heat of compression will vary depending on the compressor manufacturer, type of

compressor and the operating conditions of the compressor. Whenever possible, obtain the

heat of compression value from the compressor manufacturer for the specific conditions.

If not available, the THR can be estimated using the following formula:

THR = (Compressor Capacity) X (Heat of Compression Factor in Table 4 or Table 5)

• Table 4 contains heat of compression factors for suction-cooled, hermetic compressors.

• Table 5 contains factors for open drive compressors (non-McQuay applications).

For refrigeration systems beyond the range of Table 4 and Table 5, use the following

equations to estimate THR:

Open Compressors:

THR = Compressor Capacity (BTUH) + (2545) x (Brake Horsepower, BHP)

Suction-Cooled Compressors:

THR = Compressor Capacity (BTUH) + (3413 X KW)

Altitude Correction The compressor capacity is affected by altitude. If the condenser location is above sea

level, a correction is required to the THR, as follows:

THR (altitude) = THR x altitude Correction Factor, Table 6

Selection Example • Compressor capacity: 350,000 Btuh

• Evaporator temperature: +35° F

• Condensing temperature: 120° F

• Ambient temperature 95° F

• Refrigerant: R-22

• Compressor type: Semi-hermetic, suction cooled

• Condenser type: ACH, 1140 rpm

• Condenser altitude: 1,000 feet

Step 1: Estimate Condenser THR From Table 4 for suction-cooled compressors, at +35° F suction and 120°F condensing

temperature, select a heat of compressor factor of 1.305. (interpolated from 30°F and 40°F

THR in BTU = Compressor capacity x Heat of Compression Factor

THR = 350,000 x 1.305 = 456,750 Btuh

Step 2: Correct for Altitude From Table 6 obtain an altitude correction factor of 1.02 for 1,000 feet.

THR (from step 1) x Altitude Correction Factor

456,750 x 1.02 = 465,885 Btuh

Step 3: Calculate Design Condenser T.D. Design Condenser Temperature Difference = condensing Temp – Ambient Temp

Design Condenser T.D. = 120°F - 95°F = 25 degrees F

Page 11: Mcquay Chiller Cond

Catalog A-C Condensers 11

Step 4: Condenser Selection

Condenser capacities for ACH condensers are located in Table 7. These capacities are

given in MBH/°TD. Convert the THR from step 2 to MBH/°TD by dividing by 1,000 and

the Design TD.

465,885 Btuh / 1000 / 25 = 18.6

Select Model ACH 040A S (single fan row) or ACH 040A D (dual row). The ACH 040A S

will be lower in cost, the ACH 040A D will have a more compact footprint.

Calculate actual TD and condensing temperature: determine the actual TD by dividing the

design THR by the condenser capacity. For the ACH 040A S:

Actual TD = 465.8 / 21.8 = 21.3 degrees F.

Actual condensing temperature is 95°F + 21.3 degrees = 116.3°F.

Application Data

Fan Cycle Control Panels • Fan cycling panels are available to cycle fans on condensing pressure or interface with

customers controls.

• All fans are cycled with contactors. Fans cycle separately with one contactor per fan,

but may have more than one contactor (fan) per control step.

• Standard control circuit voltage is 115 volts. Control circuits with 24 or 230 volts are

available on request.

• Control circuits are factory wired to a control circuit terminal board for convenient

single point field wiring.

• Standard control circuits require an external power supply for powering control circuit

(by others). A control circuit transformer is available on condensers as a factory

mounted option to provide power to the control circuit.

Discharge Pressure Fan Cycling Condenser fans can be controlled by pressure switches which monitor condenser pressure.

Pressure fan cycling is ideal for those condensers which see a significant change in

condenser load. Since the controls sense condensing pressure, they can cycle fans at any

ambient temperature, in response to a change in condensing pressure.

Variable Speed Condenser head pressure control is provided by varying the air flow through the condenser

by changing the RPM of the condenser fan. The fan motor next to the header end of the

condenser is the variable speed fan. The remainder of the fans are constant speed and are

cycled separately using pressure control or customer input signal.

On condensers with two rows of fans, two variable speed fans are provided (one per circuit)

and the remainder of the fans are constant speed. The variable speed control package

consists of a special variable speed motor (1140 RPM, single phase) and an electronic

speed control which controls the speed of the motor in response to condensing pressure.

Fan motor, speed control and all related components are all factory mounted and wired.

Variable speed control provides more even system operation than pure fan cycling.

Condenser Flooding Control Back-flooding the condenser with liquid refrigerant, controlled by a field-supplied back-

flooding valve, and using refrigerant from a field-supplied receiver, can be used effectively

to control compressor discharge pressure. This technique reduces the condenser’s effective

condensing surface.

Using fan control in conjunction with back-flooding will greatly reduce the extra amount of

refrigerant required to flood the condenser. The extra quantity of refrigerant required with

either method is given in installation manual, IOMM A-C Cond
