Introduction
General DescriptionMcQuay air-cooled water chillers are complete, self-contained automatic refrigerating units. Everyunit is completely assembled, factory wired, charged, and tested. Each unit consists of two air-cooledcondensers connected in parallel with integral subcooler sections, Copeland DISCUS semi-hermeticcompressor, single circuit brazed plate-to-plate evaporator, and complete refrigerant piping. Liquidline components include manual liquid line shutoff valve, sight-glass/moisture indicator, solenoidvalve, and double diaphragm hydraulic element thermal expansion valve. Other features include acompressor crankcase heater, an evaporator heater for chilled water freeze protection, and a hot gasmuffler.
The electrical control center includes all safety and operating controls necessary for dependableautomatic operation. Condenser fan motors are three phase (except single phase on No. 1 fan withFanTrol option) and started by their own contactors and have inherent overload protection. Thecompressor is not fused but has solid state motor protection for inherent thermal overload protection.
InspectionCheck all items carefully against the bill of lading. Inspect all units for damage upon arrival. Reportshipping damage and file a claim with the carrier. Check the unit name plate before unloading, makingcertain it agrees with the power supply available. Units are shipped fob factory and McQuay is notresponsible for physical damage after unit leaves the factory.
Note: Unit shipping and operating weights are listed on page 13, Table 3.
Installation
Note: Installation is to be performed by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codesand regulations especially concerning refrigerant release to the atmosphere.
WARNING
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential hazard. Avoid contact with them.
HandlingBe careful to avoid rough handling of the unit. Do not push or pull the unit from anything other thanthe base. Block the pushing vehicle away from the unit to prevent damage to the sheet metal cabinetand end frame (see Figure 1).
To lift the unit, lifting slots are provided in the base of the unit. Arrange spreader bars and cables toprevent damage to the condenser coils or cabinet (see Figure 2).

Location
Unit PlacementALR units are for outdoor applications and can be mounted on a roof or ground level. Set units on asolid and level foundation. For roof mounted applications, install the unit on a steel channel or I-beamframe to support the unit above the roof. For ground level applications, install the unit on asubstantial base that will not settle. A one-piece concrete slab with footings extended below the frostline is recommended. Be sure the foundation is level (within 1/2” [13 mm] over its length and width).The foundation must support the operating weights listed in the Physical Data Table on page 13.
Unit operation is affected by wind and it should located so that length is parallel with the prevailingwind. If this is not practical, field fabricated wind deflectors should be employed.
ClearancesThe flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not be limited. Restricting airflow or allowing airrecirculation will result in a decrease in unit performance and efficiency. There must be no obstructionabove the unit that would deflect discharge air downward where it could be recirculated back to theinlet of the condenser coil. The condenser fans are propeller type and will not operate with ductworkon the fan outlet.
Blocking requiredacross full width
IOMM ALR2 ALR 020E through 030E 5
Install the unit with enough sideclearance for air entrance to the coil andfor servicing. Provide service access tothe evaporator, compressors, electricalcontrol panel and piping componentsas shown in Figure 3. Do not blockaccess to the unit with piping orconduit.
Do not allow debris to accumulate nearthe unit. Air movement may drawdebris into the condenser coil causingair starvation. Give specialconsideration to low ambient operationwhere snow can accumulate. Keepcondenser coils and fan discharge freeof snow or other obstructions to permitadequate airflow.
Sound IsolationThe low sound levels of the ALR chillerare suitable for most applications.When additional sound reduction isnecessary, locate the unit away fromsound sensitive areas. Avoid locationsbeneath windows or betweenstructures where normal operatingsounds may be objectionable. Reducestructurally transmitted sound byisolating water lines, electrical conduitand the unit itself. Use wall sleevesand rubber isolated piping hangers toreduce transmission of water or pumpnoise into occupied spaces. Useflexible electrical conduit to isolatesound through electrical conduit.Spring isolators are effective inreducing the low amplitude soundgenerated by the Discus semi-hermeticcompressors and for unit isolation insound sensitive areas.
Service AccessEach end of the unit must be accessibleafter installation for periodic service.Compressors, filter-driers, and manualliquid line shutoff valves are accessiblefrom the end of the unit. High pressure,low pressure, and motor protector controls are on the compressor. Most operational, safety andstarting controls are located in the unit control box.
The condenser fan and motors can be removed from the top of the unit.

Vibration IsolatorsVibration isolators are recommended for all roof mounted installations or wherever vibrationtransmission is a consideration. The isolators can be purchased from McQuay by the part numbersshown in the table. Install spring isolators under the main unit support according to the dimensiondrawing. Adjust springs to allow the upper housing to clear the lower housing by 1/4” to 1/2”. Ananti-skid pad should be used if hold-down bolts are not used.

Note: See dimension drawing for location of isolators
Water PipingLocal authorities can supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes required for safeand proper installation.
Install piping with minimum bends and changes in elevation to minimize pressure drop. Consider thefollowing when installing water piping:
1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
2. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during unit servicing.
3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Install drains at the lowestpoints in the system.
4. A means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (expansion tank or regulating valve).
5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit to aid in unit servicing. Pressure gaugetaps must be installed in the chilled water inlet and outlet piping or as shown in Figure 4.
6. A strainer or other means of removing foreign matter from the water before it enters the pump.Place the strainer far enough upstream to prevent cavitation at the pump inlet (consult pumpmanufacturer for recommendations). The use of a strainer will prolong pump life and keep systemperformance up.
7. Place a strainer in the water line just before the inlet of the evaporator. This will help preventforeign material from entering and decreasing the performance of the evaporator.
CAUTION
If separate disconnect is used for the 110V supply to the evaporator heating cable, mark thedisconnect clearly to ensure disconnect is not accidentally shut off during cold seasons.
8. The brazed plate evaporator has a thermostat and heating cable to prevent freeze-up down to -20°F (-29°C). It is suggested that the heating cable be wired to a separate 110V supply circuit. Asshipped from the factory, the heating cable is wired to the control circuit. All water piping to theunit must also be protected to prevent freezing.
9. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, flush thesystem thoroughly before unit installation. Regular water analysis and chemical water treatmenton the evaporator is recommended immediately at equipment start-up.
IOMM ALR2 ALR 020E through 030E 7
10. The total water volume in the system should be sufficient to prevent frequent “on-off” cycling.Turnover rate should not be less than 15 minutes for normal variable cooling loads. Turnoverrate for a constant load should not be less than 6 minutes.
8 ALR 020E through 030E IOMM ALR2
11. When glycol is added to the water system for freeze protection, the refrigerant suction pressurewill be lower, cooling performance less, and water side pressure drop greater. If the percentage ofglycol is high, or if propylene is used instead of ethylene glycol, the added pressure drop andloss of performance could be substantial. Reset the freezestat and low leaving water alarmtemperatures. The freezestat is factory set to default at 36°F (2.2°C). Reset the freezestat settingto approximately 4 to 5 degrees F (2.3 to 2.8 degrees C) below the leaving chilled water setpointtemperature. See the section titled “Glycol Solutions” for additional information concerningglycol.
12. Perform a preliminary leak check before insulating the piping and filling the system.
13. Piping insulation should include a vapor barrier to prevent condensation and possible damage tothe building structure.
Figure 4, Typical Field Evaporator Water Piping
Note: the above piping is correct for both brazed plate and tube-in-shell evaporators
Flow SwitchMount a water flow switch in the leaving water line to shut down the unit when water flow isinterrupted.
A flow switch is available from McQuay (part number 0701804-04). It is a “paddle” type switch andadaptable to pipe sizes down to 1 1/4 ” (32mm) nominal. Certain minimum flow rates are required toclose the switch and are listed in Table 2. Installation should be as shown in Figure 5. Connect thenormally open contacts of the flow switch in the unit control center at terminals 4 and 5. There is alsoa set of normally closed contacts on the switch that can be used for an indicator light or an alarm toindicate when a “no flow” condition exists. Freeze protect any flow switch that is installed outdoors.
NOTE: Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.

Water ConnectionsBring water piping to the cooler from the end of the unit, in the top and out the bottom connection.
Refrigerant ChargeAll units are designed for use with HCFC-22 and other refrigerants. See nameplate for specificrefrigerant used. Units are shipped with an operating charge. The operating charge(using HCFC-22) for each unit is shown in the Physical Data Table on page 12.
Glycol SolutionsThe use of glycol anti-freeze solutions will decrease unit capacity, and increase the pressure dropthrough the cooler. See Product Manual 985 for specific ratings and correction factors.
CAUTION
Do not use automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade glycols must be used. Automotiveantifreeze contains inhibitors that will cause plating on the copper tubes within the chillerevaporator. The type and handling of glycol used must be consistent with local codes.
Evaporator Water Flow and Pressure DropEvaporator flow rate must fall between the minimum and maximum values shown in the evaporatorpressure drop curve, Figure 6. Flow rates below the minimum values will result in laminar flow that willreduce efficiency, cause erratic operation of the expansion valve and could cause low temperaturecutouts. Flow rates exceeding the maximum values can cause erosion on the evaporator waterconnections and tubes.
Measure the chilled water pressure drop through the evaporator at field installed pressure taps. It isimportant not to include the effect of valves or strainers in these readings.
Varying chilled water flow through the evaporator while the compressor are operating is notrecommended.

Unit Layout and Operation
Control CenterAll electrical controls are enclosed in a weatherproof control center with keylocked, hinged accessdoors. The control center has two separate compartments, high voltage and low voltage. All highvoltage components are located in the compartment on the right side of the unit.
The low voltage components are located on the left side with the live terminals behind the deadfrontpanel. This protects service personnel from live terminals when accessing the adjustable andresettable controls.
Start-up and Shutdown
Pre Start-up1. Open all electric disconnects and check all electric connections for tightness. Check all
compressor valve connections for tightness.
2. Inspect all water piping for flow direction and correct connections at the evaporator.
3. Verify thermostat water temperature sensor is installed in the leaving water line (supply tobuilding). On all ALR units the sensor well and sensor are factory mounted.
4. Check compressor oil level. The oil level should be visible in the oil sightglass.
5. Check voltage of the unit power supply and make certain voltage is within ±10% of nameplaterating. Check unit power supply wiring for proper ampacity and a minimum insulationtemperature of 75°C.
6. Verify all mechanical and electrical inspections have been completed according to local codes.
7. Open compressor suction and discharge shutoff valves until backseated. Always replace valveseal caps.
8. Open control stop switch S1(off). Turn on the main power and control disconnect switches. Thiswill energize crankcase heaters. Wait at least 24 hours before starting up unit.
9. Open all water flow valves and start the chilled water pump. Check all piping for leaks and ventthe air from the evaporator as well as from the system piping. Flush the evaporator and systempiping to obtain clean, noncorrosive water in the evaporator.
CAUTION
Most relays and terminals in the unit control center are energized with S1 and the controlcircuit disconnect on. Do not close S1 until start-up.
Start-up1. Verify compressor suction and discharge shutoff valves are backseated. Always replace valve
seal caps.
2. Open manual liquid line shutoff valve at the outlet of the condenser subcooler.
3. Set temperature controller CP1 to the desired chilled water temperature. Set the control band.
4. Start auxiliary equipment by turning on the following: time clock (if present), ambient thermostatand/or remote on/off switch, chilled water pump.
12 ALR 020E through 030E IOMM ALR2
5. If the controller calls for cooling, the unit will begin the start-up sequence.
6. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in the compressor crankcase, rotation offans, and flashing in refrigerant sightglass.
7. Verify superheat temperature is at the factory setting of 8 to 12 degrees F (4.4 to 6.7 degrees C).
8. After system performance has stabilized, complete the “Compressorized Equipment WarrantyForm” (Form No. 415415Y) to obtain full warranty benefits. Return the form to McQuayInternational through your sales representative.
Sequence of OperationThe following sequence of operation is typical for Models ALR 020E through ALR 030E. Thesequence can vary depending upon options.
Start-UpWith the control circuit power on and the control stop switch S1 closed, 115V power is appliedthrough the control circuit fuse F1 to the compressor crankcase heater HTR1, the compressor motorprotections MP1 and the primary of the 24V control circuit transformer. The 24V transformer providespower to the contacts of the low pressure controls LP1 and the compressor lockout timer TD1.
When the remote time clock (optional) or manual shutdown switch turns on the chilled water pump,the flow switch closes and 115V power is applied to the relay contacts on the return water controlCP1. The unit will operate in response to TC 10 if:
1. The compressor lockout time delays are closed
2. The compressor motor protection and high pressure control (HP1) do not sense a failure.
On a call for cooling, the return water control CP1 completes the circuit to the liquid line solenoidvalve SV1 in circuit #1, opening the valve and allowing refrigerant to flow through the expansionvalve and into the evaporator. As the evaporator refrigerant pressure increases, the low pressurecontrol LP1 closes. This energizes the compressor starting relay R9, starting the compressor via thecompressor contactors M1. Closing the R9 contacts also energizes the condenser fan motor contactsM11, M12, and M13, starting the fan motors.
ShutdownAs the leaving water control is satisfied, it will unload the compressor and then de-energize the liquidline solenoid valve SV1, causing the valve to close. The compressor will stop and the compressorcrankcase heater will energize, keeping the small amount of refrigerant in the plate heat exchanger frommigrating to the compressor.

System Maintenance
GeneralOn initial startup and periodically during operation, it will be necessary to perform certain routineservice checks. Among these are taking condensing and suction pressures. On units ordered withgauges, condensing and suction pressures can be read from the vertical support on the side of theunit adjacent to the compressors.
The gauges are factory installed with a manual shutoff valve on each gauge line. The valves shouldbe closed at all times except when gauge readings are being taken.
Fan Motor BearingsThe fan motor bearings are of the permanently lubricated type. No lubrication is required.
Electrical Terminals
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Turn off all power before continuing with following service.
Normal heating and cooling of the wire will cause terminals to loosen. Retightened all power electricalterminals every six months.
CondensersCondensers are air cooled and constructed with 3/8” (9.5mm) O.D. internally finned copper tubesbonded in a staggered pattern into slit aluminum fins. No maintenance is ordinarily required exceptthe occasional removal of dirt and debris from the outside surface of the fins. Use locally purchasedfoaming condenser coil cleaners for periodic cleaning of the coil. Condenser cleaners may containharmful chemicals, be careful when using cleaners. Care should be taken not to damage the finsduring cleaning.
IOMM ALR2 ALR 020E through 030E 19
Refrigerant SightglassObserve the refrigerant sightglass monthly. A clear glass of liquid indicates adequate refrigerantcharge in the system to ensure proper feed through the expansion valve. Bubbling refrigerant in thesightglass indicates the system is short of refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashing in thesightglass could also indicate an excessive pressure drop in the line, possible due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in the system. The sightglass indicates what moisture conditioncorresponds to a given element color. If the sightglass does not indicate a dry condition after about12 hours of operation, the unit should be pumped down and the filter-driers changed.
Service
WARNING
Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit.
CAUTION
Service on this equipment is to be performed by qualified service personnel with special regardto regulations concerning release of refrigerant to the atmosphere.
Note: Repeated tripping of safety controls must be investigated and corrected.
Thermostatic Expansion ValveThe expansion valve is responsible for allowing the proper amount of refrigerant to enter theevaporator regardless of cooling load. It does this by maintaining a constant superheat. (Superheatis the difference between refrigerant temperature as it leaves the evaporator and the saturationtemperature corresponding to the evaporator pressure.) Typically, superheat should run in the rangeof 10°F to 15°F.
The superheat setting can be adjusted by removing the cap at the bottom of the valve to expose theadjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (when viewed from the adjustment screw end) toincrease the superheat setting and counterclockwise to reduce superheat. Allow time for systemrebalance after each superheat adjustment.
The expansion valve, like the solenoid valve, should not normally require replacement, but if it doesthe unit must be pumped down by following the steps involved when changing a filter-drier.
If the problem can be traced to the power element only, it can be unscrewed from the valve bodywithout removing the valve, but only after pumping the unit down.
Filter-DriersTo change the liquid line filter-drier, close the field supplied manual liquid line shutoff valve (seeFigure 4). By jumping out the low pressure control allow the unit to pump down to 0-5 PSIG(0-34 kPa). When the evaporator pressure reaches 0-5 PSIG (0-34kPa), shut the unit off at thedisconnect. Front seat the suction service valve, remove and replace the filter-drier, evacuate andremove the jumper.
After the filter-drier has been changed, a leak check is recommended before returning unit tooperation.
20 ALR 020E through 030E IOMM ALR2
Liquid Line SolenoidThe liquid line solenoid valve does not normally require any maintenance. It may, however, requirereplacement of the solenoid coil. The solenoid coil may be removed from the valve body withoutopening the system by disconnecting power to the unit. The coil can then be removed from the valvebody by simply removing the nut or snap ring located at the top of the coil.
Standard Controls
Note: Perform an operational check on all unit safety controls once per year.
ThermostatThe thermostat provided as standard on ALR 020E through 030E is the Johnson Controls System 350.It is factory calibrated for use as a return water control, with the sensor strapped to the heat exchangerwater inlet. The A350 module provides a single stage of cooling. Additional staging can be obtainedby adding S350 stage modules, one stage per module. Modules are connected via five pinmale/female connectors with no interconnecting wiring required.
A350 Electronic Temperature ControlThe A350 temperature module has a visible control range scale and a knob-adjusted control point. AnLED indicator located on the face of the control will be illuminated when the relay is energized.
As shown in Figure 9, the A350 module’s two adjustment potentiometers are set per“Recommended Settings” below. To adjust the A350 differential setting, remove the four cornerscrews and adjust to the desired differential. The control point setting can be adjusted with the coverin place and is also set per “Recommended Settings’. Important: The control point does not reflecteither the desired return or leaving water temperature, but rather a control point that will allow the unitto deliver the desired average leaving water temperature specified. Step unloading systems willalways fluctuate around a desired control point.
S350 Stage Adder ModuleThe S350 module receives its power, control point and sensor input from the A350 module. As shownin Figure 9, the S350 module has both offset and differential potentiometers set per “RecommendedSettings”. Offset is the number of degrees above the A350 control point at which the S350 will stageoff. “Differential” is the number of degrees above offset at which the S50 will stage on. Both offsetand differential adjustments require cover removal.

Recommended SettingsControl has been factory set for a 44°F (6.7°C) leaving water temperature. The dial shows leavingwater temperature based on a 10 degree F (12.2 degree C) built in offset from the dial setting. Thecontrol settings are as follows:
• 1 Stage: A350 (CP1 Relay 1) dial setpoint 44°F (6.7°C)Control differential 4°F (2.2°C)
• 2 Stage: A350 (CP1 Relay 1) dial setpoint 44°F (6.7°C)Control differential 4°F (2.2°C)S350 (CP1 Relay 2) control differential 4°F (2.2°C)Offset 5°F (2.8°C)

If a different leaving water temperature is needed, set the dial on the CP1 to the desired leaving watersetting. If the Delta-T between the entering and the leaving water is not 10 degrees F, follow the rulesset below.
12°° F Delta-T: Set the dial setting 1 degree F (0.6 degrees C) above the desired leaving watertemperature.
8°° F Delta-T: Set the dial setting 1 degree F (0.6 degrees C) below the desired leaving watertemperature.
Control Checkout1. Be sure the heat/cool switch is set for cooling
2. Set all offset and differential potentiometers per Figure 9 or job specifications
3. After necessary adjustments have been made, apply power to the control, put the system inoperation, and observe at least one complete operating cycle.
Figure 9, Temperature control details
Repairs and ReplacementField repairs or calibration must not be made. Sensors and replacement modules are available throughMcQuay parts distributors. Sensor resistance is 1005 ohms at 70°F (21.1°C), with 4.4 ohms per 1degree F (0.6 degrees C).
22 ALR 020E through 030E IOMM ALR2
High Pressure ControlThe high pressure control is a single pole pressure activated switch that closes on a rise in pressure.When the switch closes, it de-energizes the compressor circuit preventing unit operation until thehigh pressure control is reset. The control is factory set to close at 400 PSIG and open at 300 PSIG.The control is attached to a Schrader fitting on the discharge line located in the compressorcompartment.
To check the control, either block off the condenser surface or start the unit with condenser fanmotors off and observe the cutout point of the control on the high side of the system. Resetting isaccomplished by opening and closing control stop switch S1.
CAUTION
The control stop switch S1 should be near at hand in case the high pressure controlmalfunctions. After testing the high pressure control, leak check the pressure relief device.
Low Pressure ControlThe low pressure control is a single pole pressure switch that closes on a pressure rise. It sensesevaporator pressure and is factory set to close at 60 PSI and automatically opens at 35 PSIG. To checkthe low pressure control (unit must be running), remove wire to de-energizing R-3 relay which in turnwill de-energize the liquid line solenoid. As the compressor pumps down, condenser pressure will riseand evaporator pressure will drop. The lowest evaporator pressure reached before cut-out is the cut-out setting of the control. Reconnecting the wire will energize the liquid line solenoid allowingevaporator pressure to rise. The highest evaporator pressure reached before compressor restart is thecut-in setting of the control.
Compressor LockoutCompressor lockout consists of a 5-minute time delay TD1. It is wired in series with the R5 safetyrelay that energizes after 5 minutes, enabling the compressor to start. Its purpose is to prevent rapidcompressor cycling when cooling demands are erratic.
When the unit thermostat no longer calls for cooling and the compressor contactors have opened, thelockout time delay breaks open the circuit, preventing compressor restart.
The circuit remains open for a period of 5 minutes so that the unit thermostat should call for coolingbefore the delay period has expired, the compressor will not restart. After 5 minutes the time delay willclose its contacts to complete the circuit to R5, enabling the compressor to start. When R9 isenergized with the compressor, another set of contacts will shunt around TD1, allowing TD1 to resetopen for timing out the next compressor cycle.
To check the time delay, the compressor must be running initially. Allow the unit to pump down byadjusting the temperature control to simulate no call for cooling. Immediately after the compressorhas stopped running adjust the temperature control to call for cooling. The compressor should notrestart for 5 minutes.
IOMM ALR2 ALR 020E through 030E 23
Compressor Motor ProtectorThe solid-state compressor motor protector module incorporates a 2-minute “time off” relay utilizingthe bleed down capacitor principle. Any time the protection system opens or power to the module isinterrupted, the 2-minute “time off” delay is triggered and the module will not reset for two minutes.Once the 2-minute period is passed the motor protector contacts M1 and M2 reset, provided theprotection system is satisfied and power is applied to the module.
Note: If the power circuit is broken once the 2-minute period is passed the pilot circuit willreset without delay when power is reapplied.
Fantrol Head Pressure ControlFanTrol is the standard method of head pressure control (PC 12) that automatically cycles thecondenser fan motor in response to condenser pressure. This maintains head pressure and allows theunit to run at low ambient air temperatures down to 40°F (4.4°C).
FanTrol is a nonadjustable control set to open at 150 psig and close at 225 psig. The control isattached to a Schrader fitting on the discharge line inside the compressor compartment.
Optional Controls
SpeedTrol Head Pressure ControlThe SpeedTrol method of head pressure control operates in conjunction with FanTrol by modulatingthe motor speed on one fan in response to condenser pressure. By reducing the speed of the last fanas the condensing pressure falls, the unit can operate to 0°F (-18°C) ambient air temperature.
The SpeedTrol fan motor is a single phase, 230/460 volt, thermally protected motor specially designedfor variable speed operation. The solid-state speed control SC11 is mounted in the unit control paneland is connected to a Schrader fitting on the liquid line. The control is factory set to start modulatingfan speed at 230 psig, and will maintain a minimum condensing pressure of 170 to 180 psig. Minimumstarting voltage for SpeedTrol motors is 120 volts.
A low ambient timer is included with the optional SpeedTrol. It consists of a solid-state, normallyclosed time delay wired in series with a relay. These are both wired in parallel to the liquid linesolenoid valve so that when the solenoid valve is energized by the unit thermostat the low ambientstart relay is also energized through the time delay. The relay has contacts that essentially short-circuit the low pressure control and allow the compressor to start with the low pressure control open.
After about 2-3/4 minutes, the time delay will open and de-energize the relay. If the system has notbuilt up enough evaporator pressure to close the low pressure control, the compressor will stop. Thetime delay can be reset to its original normally closed position by de-energizing relay R3 in thethermostat circuit.
Due to the vertical condenser design, it is recommended that the unit be oriented so that prevailingwinds blow parallel to the unit length, thus minimizing effects on minimum ambient operation. If it isnot practical to orient the unit in this manner, a wind deflector should be constructed.
24 ALR 020E through 030E IOMM ALR2
Figure 10, Low Ambient Start Time Delay/Relay R13)
Hot Gas BypassHot gas bypass is a system for maintaining evaporator pressure at or above a minimum value. Thepurpose for doing this is to keep the velocity of the refrigerant as it passes through the evaporatorhigh enough for proper oil return to the compressor when cooling load conditions are light. It alsomaintains continuous operation of the chiller at light load conditions.
The solenoid valve should be wired to open whenever the liquid line solenoid valve is energized.This can be accomplished by wiring the hot gas solenoid (SV5) in parallel with the liquid line solenoidat terminals 3 and 5. The pressure regulating valve is factory set to begin opening at 58 PSIG (32°F forR-22) when the air charged bulb is in an 80°F ambient temperature. The bulb can be mountedanywhere as long as it senses a fairly constant temperature at various load conditions. Thecompressor suction line is one such mounting location. It is generally in the 50°F to 60°F range.
The chart below indicates that when the bulb is sensing 50°F to 60°F temperatures, the valve willbegin opening at 54 PSIG. This setting can be changed as indicated above, by changing the pressuresetting, 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, asthis will damage the adjustment assembly.
The regulating valve opening point can be determined by slowly reducing the system load (orincreasing the required chiller water temperature setting indicated on the unit thermostat), whileobserving the suction pressure. When the bypass valve starts to open, the refrigerant line on theevaporator side of the valve will begin to feel warm to the touch.
WARNING
The hot gas line may become hot enough to cause injury in a very short time, be carefulduring valve checkout.
On installations where the condensing unit is remote from the evaporator, it is recommended that thehot gas bypass valve be mounted near the condensing unit to minimize the amount of refrigerant thatwill condense in the hot gas line during periods when hot gas bypass is not required.
