Description The McQuay “SCROLL” MWCP water-cooled packaged units are designed for duct type air-conditioning system in commercial and industrial application. An optional plenum is available for MWCP18A-MWCP70A, for free standing applications. The MWCP water-cooled packaged unit has single or multiple hermetic compressors with independent refrigerant circuits. Each refrigerant circuit consists of a high efficiency condenser, a sealed strainer, and capillary tubes. Every McQuay MWCP unit has been leak tested, evacuated and fully charged with refrigerant R22 at the factory.
High Efficiency Hermetic Compliant Scroll Compressor (MWCP18A~MWCP125A)
• • • •
Quiet operation. Unmatched reliability with 70% fewer moving parts than comparably sized reciprocating compressors. Greater capability at handling liquid and debris in the system. High efficiency performance.
Enhanced Copper Tubes Condenser (MWCP70A~200A) Extra-high efficiency is attained by special designed shell-and-tube condenser with “T” groove copper tube surfaces for superior refrigerant-water heat transfer.
Anti-Corrosion Unit Casing Unit casing is constructed of electro-galvanized steel sheet. Casing surface is finished with epoxy polyester powder coating. Therefore, units are suitable for both commercial and industrial application.
Whisper- Quiet Operation Each unit is divided into separate compartments such that compressor noise is kept away from the supply air stream. Internal insulation of 1/2 inch thick fiberglass and double blowers design (only for MWCP85A~200A) further reduce noise level.
Quality Assurance Each unit is leak-tested, evacuated, fully charged with refrigerant and run tested in McQuay’s ISO9001 certified factory.

Installation General CAUTION To protect warranty, this equipment must be installed and serviced by authorized McQuay service personnel or a qualified service person experienced in air conditioning equipment installation. Installation must comply with all applicable codes, particularly in regard to electrical wiring and other safety elements such as relief valves, HP cutout settings, design working pressures and ventilation requirements consistent with the amount and type of refrigerant charge.
Inspection As soon as the unit is received, it should be inspected for any damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is evident, it should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate request for inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing at once. Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days of receipt of shipment. Check shipment against the bill of lading to verify that all items were delivered. Any shortages should be noted on the delivery receipt, and a claim filed immediately.
Limitations 1. An excessively high waterflow and a low water temperature may cause condensate to freeze on the surface of the evaporator coil. 2. An excessively low waterflow and a high water temperature may cause the unit to shut down on its highpressure cutout. 3. These units are not suitable for outdoor installation. 4. These units should be installed in accordance with: a) Regulations of local utility or other authorities having jurisdiction. b) Wiring must conform to provisions of local ordinances.
Handling Each unit is skidded at the factory. Care should be used during handing to avoid damage to the unit and components. Normally, the unit can be moved into position using a lift truck or pipe roller and under no circumstances should they be “walked” on the corners of the crate. The skids should not be removed till the unit is set in position. If the unit must be lifted by a crane or hoist, spreader bars and pads must be used to prevent damage. (See Table 1 for shipping weights.)
Location and Clearances The packaged unit is designed for installation on a flat and level concrete foundation. It must be capable of supporting the operating weight of the unit. Table 1 –Shipping Weights MODEL

NOTE: Make sure there is adequate clearances and floor strength through doors and passageways.
Page 13
The units are constructed of general purpose, indoor application and are not intended for wet, corrosive or explosive atmospheres. ON INSTALLATIONS WHERE THE UNIT OR COOLING TOWER COULD BE EXPOSED TO LOW AMBIENT CONDITIONS, FREEZE PROTECTION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS. Installation should allow for water drain, ventilation and clearances for service, including removal of compressor(s) and condenser. Recommended minimum clearances are shown on the unit dimensions drawing (See page7~11.)
Acoustical Considerations With any mechanical system, a certain amount of vibration and noise is generated. To insure a successful installation of these units, McQuay has provided the following: 1. 2.
Internal vibration isolators for compressors. Acoustically treated fan section (standard).
If return air duct is to be used, a flex connector must be field supplied. Care must be exercised to isolate the unit and piping from walls and ceiling. Besides vibration which is transmitted by conduction, radiated noise and fan noise must also be addressed. Compressors, pumps etc., all generated noise can be radiated to the occupied space. The most common approach to reducing this possibility is to locate the units in least sensitive areas. This could be near stairs, elevators or lavatories. Good acoustical practices should be employed when designing the walls between the machine room and the occupied space. All openings around doors should be sealed. The return air opening must be acoustically treated. Noise will also be carried through the fan and supply ductwork to the occupied space. When the sound attenuation package is required, you should consider installing sound attenuation in the supply ductwork.
Page 14
Piping Connections General All system piping should be installed in accordance with local code ordinances. The piping should be designed with a minimum number of bends and changes in elevation to keep costs to a minimum and unit performance to a maximum. A good installation should include the following: 1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building. 2. Shut-off valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during service. 3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. 4. Some means of maintaining adequate system water pressure (e.g., regulating valve and/or expansion tank). 5. Install temperature and pressure indicators at the unit to aid in servicing and trouble shooting. 6. Installation of a strainer to remove foreign matter from the water before it enters the pump. It should be located far enough upstream of the pump to prevent cavitation at the inlet. Consider Water Piping All internal condenser water piping is completed factory assembled. Field piping should be connected to the pipes that are stubbed out at the panels. Supply water must be connected to the factory piping as indicated by the markings on the unit.
FIG.1-CONDENSER WATER PIPING COOLING TOWER
Water Cooling Tower Piping When installing these units with a cooling tower, some means of controlling head pressure must be provided. Water flow through the cooling tower should be constant at the same time. It must be possible to vary the water flow through the condenser to keep the condensing pressure and temperature constant according to load and outside temperature and wet bulb conditions to assure proper operation of the thermal expansion valve or valves. This may be accomplished by installing a 3-way water-regulating valve as shown in Fig.1. The valve should be set to maintain 65ºC minimum leaving condenser water temperature. The use of a three way water regulating valve with bypass is highly recommended since it maintains constant condensing pressure regardless of outside temperature conditions and insures proper operation of the evaporator expansion valve. It is important to follow the instructions of the water regulating valve manufacturer in regard to installation recommendations and valve adjustment procedures. Thermometer wells should be located at the condenser inlet and outlet to and in performance and service work.
Page 15
Condensate Drain Two standard drain connections: 1. On the drain pan that forms the partition between the coil and condensing section. 2. On the auxiliary drain pan that forms the unit base. A trap should be placed in the evaporator condensate drain line to prevent hot outside air from being pulled into the evaporator section and to allow the condensate to drain away. The trap can be placed at any location in the drain line as long as it has a minimum of 2" head as shown in Fig.2. Drain lines running to the outside of the building should be extended beyond the wall to prevent condensate from running down the building surface. Condensate Drain insulation: The drain should be insulated where water drippage, due to condensation.
FIG.2-CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP

Duct Connections Supply Air The standard McQuay MWCP unit is provided with a fan outlet collar for connection of supply ductwork. McQuay recommends that a straight duct having the same dimensions as the fan outlet be used. This duct should be at least 3 duct diameters in length prior to installing any elbows or transition. See Table 2 for the minimum length of straight duct required for your particular unit. Table 2 – Duct Connection Sizes MODEL MWCP18A MWCP30A MWCP35A MWCP55A MWCP70A MWCP75A MWCP85A MWCP95A MWCP105A MWCP115A MWCP125A MWCP130A MWCP160A MWCP200A

If the required length of straight ductwork is not used and transitions or elbows are installed close to the fan outlet, extra pressure losses will occur. These losses are referred to as "system effects". For more details on this subject refer to A.M.C.A. Standard 210, titled "Fan and System".
Return Air The McQuay MWCP units are designed for "free air return". The minimum returns air temperature is 55ºC. The equipment room serves as the return air plenum. If the return air is ducted to the unit, a flex connection must be supplied. Only return air should be ducted to the unit. Outside air should not be brought into the return area.
Insulation Insulate ductwork that passes through unconditioned space during cooling. Insulation should include a vapour barrier to prevent absorption of moisture.
Page 17
Operation General The McQuay MWCP unit is designed for single power source connection. No separate supply is required for the controls. The units are supplied for use on 380/415V-3Ph-50Hz or 460V-3Ph-60Hz power supply. The control voltage for the control panel operation is 220~240V-1Ph-50Hz/60Hz.
Caution! • • •
• •
The unit must not be restarted within 3 minutes after shutting down. Make sure that the unit is properly grounded by checking the ground terminal. Each system contains factory mounted, wired, adjusted and tested controls required to operate and protect the unit. The control system includes compressor overload protection, motor winding protection, high and low pressure cutouts, to guard against compressor damage due to high discharge head pressure and system leakage. The unit has a single point power connection with each compressor circuit being individually fused. This will permit additional compressors to operate when on compressor are down.
Page 18
Electrical Data Install electrical wiring in accordance with the National Electric Code and/or local regulations. A fused disconnect switch must be used in a separate circuit from the main power panel. The switch should be reasonably close to the unit for convenience in servicing. Field and elementary wiring diagrams associated with the McQuay MWCP units are shown in page 17~22. The electrical data is shown in the wiring diagrams. NOTE: Elementary wiring diagrams are subject to change without notice.

Fan Performance Curve Supply Air Blower Adjustment The RPM of the supply air blower will depend on the required CFM, the unit accessories and the static resistance of both the supply and the return air duct system. With this information, the RPM for the supply air blower can be determined from the fan performance curves. Knowing the required blower RPM and the blower motor HP, the supply air motor pulley can be determined. After the supply air blower motor is operating, adjust the resistance in both the supply and the return duct systems to balance the air distribution throughout the conditioned space.

Belt Adjustment
FIG.4 – ALIGNMENT AND BELT TENSION
To determine the deflection force required use the formula: Deflection = Belt Span/64 CAUTION: 1. Do not over tighten the belts or the bearings may be come damaged. The best tension for a belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under the highest required load. 2. The belts should be checked at a certain time in case too loose.

Panel Checks A. Verify 3 phases’ power to unit. B. Close units disconnect and verify that crankcase heaters are energized. Allow the heater to remain on a minimum of 24 hours before attempting startup. This is important to assure no refrigerant is in the oil startup. Fail to do this could cause compressor failure.
Initial Start Up After the operator has familiarized itself with the sequence of operation for the unit and all options provided, the unit can be put in operation. Proceed as follows. 1. Energize cooling tower water pump and tower fans. 2. Turn the fan switch to the ON position. 3. The “Sequence of Operation” instruction covered are shown in the control wiring diagrams. 4. If no unusual noise or adverse conditions exist allow the unit to run. If these conditions do exist, turn off the unit and investigate cause. Take an air flow measurement in the straight duct off the unit discharge using a pitot tube. This measurement should be taken about three quarters (3/4) of the way down the straight duct off the fan, just before any transition or elbow. If a condition of low or high air flow exists, a pulley change may be required. Once it is ascertained that the air quantity leaving the unit is at the design, the thermostats should be set to the desired space temperature. The system should now function as designed.

Maintenance General At initial startup and periodically during operation, it will be necessary to perform certain routine service checks to assure the unit functions properly. This is also the best way to avoid unnecessary downtime and expense. Routine maintenance should include the following: 1. Tighten all belts, screws, and wire connections. 2. Clean evaporator coils mechanically or with cold water, if necessary. Usually any fouling is only matted on the entering air face of the coil and can be removed by brushing. 3. Align or replace belts if needed. 4. Clean or replace filters as needed. 5. Check for blockage of condensate drains. 6. Check power and control voltages. 7. Check running amperage. 8. Check operating temperatures and pressures. 9. Check and adjust temperature and pressure controls. 10. Check operation of all safety controls.
Condensers The frequency of cleaning depends on so many variables that it is impossible to recommend a schedule. Some will need cleaning once a year and in rare cases, cleaning will be required several times a year. The shell & tube condensers can be cleaned not only by mechanical methods but also by chemical methods due to its construction. McQuay does not recommend any particular chemical preparation. The same treatment may not be applicable to all installations. But in any case: a) Use only preparations from an established, reliable source. b) Follow directions exactly, particularly regarding amounts to use and flushing or neutralizing procedure after cleaning. Proper operation cooling tower overflow rate should be checked frequently. If a tower is operated with insufficient overflow, the resulting mineral concentration in the water can cause rapid and heavy fouling inside the condenser tubes. This condition will necessitate frequent cleaning and could lead to severe corrosion. Chemical additives, including those to stop algae and related growths, should be obtained only from a reputable, established supplier, and use specifically according to directions. Excessive treatment of the water can cause more harm than none at all. Pumps, piping, and the tower any damaged in addition to the condenser. Double check the system to make sure that fouling is actually causing the trouble. High head pressure alone does not mean a fouled condenser. The following possibilities should always be checked before cleaning is undertaken. 1. Refrigerant overcharge. 2. Air in system or faulty head pressure gauge; (check standby pressures against refrigerant tables) 3. Incorrectly set, or defective, water regulating valve; (check its setting) 4. High water temperatures entering condenser; (check tower fan and system)
