McQuay water cooled water chiller

General characteristics

McQuay Int'l introduces their newest water cooled water

chiller type WHZ equipped with Scroll compressors and
electronic control system. McQuay have once again succeeded in developing a high quality product with extraordinary
performance which is able to satisfy HVAC application, industrial refrigeration an icestore application. For more than
60 years, McQuay have designed and built successful line
of products.The latest technology is included in the new
WHZ chiller range equipped with Scroll compressor and unsurpassed advanced features. All units are equipped with
electronic control device control which optimises the unit
operation also improving the interface with devices for remote monitoring.

Compressors: unit model WHZ 024.2 is equipped with two

single compressors, unit model WHZ 032.2047.2 install
two tandem scroll hermetic compressors. Electric motors
are DOL starting type.

Low operating costs

Evaporator

The McQuay WHZ chillers use the most reliable and efficient components in the industry. Scroll compressors offer
an operating economy that at partial load conditions is uncomparable with the most aggressive competitors. The unloading system with multiple capacity steps reduce allows
the electrical consumption to the plant requirement. The use
of a single evaporator provided with multiple refrigerant circuits improves the unit performance at partial load operation.

The evaporator is a direct expansion shell-and-tube type

constructed with a carbon steel shell and seamless high efficiency copper tubes. It is equipped with a baffled shell side
to ensure the appropriate water flowing outside the tubes
obtaining the maximum heat exchange with the lowest pressure drop. Externally the shell is protected by 10 mm thickness closed-cell insulation material. Evaporator water
connections of victaulic type are equipped with a water
nozzle to be welded on the plant piping system.

Low installation costs

Condensers

All units are completely factory assembled. A rigid steel base with lifting points permits quick unit rigging. Power and
control panel mounted on the shorter side of the unit determines a more optimized location of unit inside the chillers
room, allowing easy maintenance and control. WHZ unit are
fully wired and supplied with a single power connection. Extensive quality control operation tests assure trouble-free installation and start-up.

Condensers are shell and cleanable, through-tube type. The

unit has independent condensers, one per circuit. Each
condenser has a carbon steel and seamless, integrally finned high efficiency copper tubes, roll expanded into heavy
carbon steel tube sheets. Water heads are removable and
include vent and drain plugs. Condensers come complete
with liquid shut-off valve, spring loaded relief valve.

Full factory testing

Each refrigerant circuit is completely independent and complete with all control and regulation devices such as: filter
driers, liquid sight glass and thermostatic expansion valves.

Pressure vessels tests are performed on all units then evacuated and charged with refrigerant HFC 407C. All safety
and operating controls are properly checked and calibrated
at the factory. A complete performance test simulates the given conditions. A second series of tests may also be performed at customer's presence. Before shipment, each unit is
re-checked for pressure and refrigerant charge control.

Code requirements
WHR units can be manufactured and certified in accordance
with following code requirements: ISPESL, TV and SA.
Code requirement must be specified when order is placed.

Structure
The chiller is equipped with brackets directly installed on
heat exchangers. The evaporator and the suction piping are
appropriately insulated to prevent condensation.

Scroll Compressors

Refrigerant circuits

Power and starting panel

Inside the electrical panel is installed a programmable
electronic control, including temperature sensors, keypad to
set and control data protected by a password. All devices
are factory installed and wired. The unit controls are
designed to allow the reading and the updating of data both
locally and remotely.

Reliability
The use of scroll compressors together with the most
advanced and efficient control system assures reliable
functioning. Each refrigerant circuit comes complete with
multiple safety devices which prevent compressor damage.

Serviceability
All multiple compressor units use independent refrigerant
circuits. They permit shut-down, routine maintenance and
service of one of the circuit while the others maintain the
system operation.

Programmable electronic control device

The control device is installed as standard on all water
cooled chiller series WHZ. It visualises all operating values
and setpoint recorded allowing setting and modifying the
regulation parameters at a later stage. An infrared remote
control and a serial output board are available as option for
a supervisor connection.

Versions available
Water chiller model WHZ are available in three versions:
WHZ ST Standard version equipped with water cooled
condensers
WHZ LR Special execution without the water cooled
condensers. The units suitable for remote condenser
operation are equipped with liquid receivers, one per circuit
and with copper tube connection.
WHZ ME Special execution as the previous version but
also without the liquid receivers to be arranged on the
installation.

Accessories and options

01 - 100% total heat recovery (R) produced with tube
bundle placed in a single shell with the water condensers.
Heat exchangers heads are provided with 2 connections for
entering/leaving heat recovery water and 2 separate
connections for condensing water.
11 - Compressor thermal relays. Safety device against
compressor motor overloading.
42 - Flow switch. For field installation on evaporator and
condensers pipes to prevent freeze up under low temperature conditions. It must be wired to the power panel terminals by the customer.
84 - Rubber antivibration isolators. They are available for
field installation to reduce vibrations transmission through
the unit base.
86 - Sound proof jacket on compressors. Made of insulated material to reduce the sound noise level of the compressors (-3 dBA).
