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 McQuays 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 carriers freight bill. A separate request for inspection by the
carriers 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.

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 65C 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

Page 16

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.

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 55C.
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.

After Installation But Prior To Start Up


1.
2.

Visually check power wiring for size and type. It must meet all local codes and N.E.C. codes.
Verify that field wiring matches the 3-phase power requirements of the unit. See caution on schematic
diagram in the control panel.
3. Check the unit visually for indication of leaks in the refrigerant circuit.
4. Check the drive alignment of the pulleys using the four-point method prior to adjusting belt tension (see

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)
