2 Product Information
2.1 Features
 Overview
McQuay MAC series air-cooled chilled-water heat pump units are highly reliable, secure and flexible.
This series of units are elaborately designed to be delicate and elegant. In addition, they are so flexible
that they support fan coils and air handling units of various specifications and models.
Units of this series are marked for their high efficiency, low noise, user-friendliness, secure operation, easy
installation and maintenance etc, and are widely used in factories, stations, hotels, villas, office buildings,
top-grade residences etc. Besides, they can also be used in industrial chilling.
 Multi-grade Modulation
MAC210/230 series units feature 2-grade modulation which can be transformed to multi-grade modulations
in modular combinations. For example, 8 MAC210 units can realize 16 modulation grades with effects very
similar to that of stepless modulation. With operation grades controlled electronically, the unit exerts less
shock to the power grid and saves more energy.

 Outstanding Performance
MAC series units feature leading-edge technologies and name-brand accessories which are strictly tested
for compatibility. Fully hermetic volute compressor and low-noise fans minimize the operation noise. With
efficient volute compressors and precise throttling systems with electronic expansion valves, the units
feature high EER and COP, especially at partial workload.
 Easy Control
Units can be controlled individually or together by an electronic controller. The controller is strongly
interference proof and can exert control from as far as 1000 meters away. Failures are represented by
error codes displayed on the controller to facilitate troubleshooting.
 Easy Installation
The units are designed to best facilitate user installation. The cooling system is made hermetic in the
factory. Customers do not need to connect any copper pipe or refill refrigerant. The water system has an
inlet connector which is to be connected to the terminal equipment. Having installed the unit as instructed,
customers just need to check that water and pump pipes are clean before pumping water and powering on
the unit.
 Defrosting
The controller defrosts the unit automatically according to the operation time of the unit and the
temperature of the heat exchanger.
 Security Measures
The cooling system is protected against extreme pressures: discharge pressure will not be too high, nor
will inhaling pressure be too low; against extreme discharge temperature: discharge temperature will not
be too high; against freezing during cooling operation: when the water temperature is too low, the plate
heat exchanger will not freeze up or burst internally; and against low temperature: during cold winter time,
the water pipe and plate heat exchanger will not freeze up or burst internally (This feature works only when
the system is working in the heating mode with the main power supply turned on).

 Highly Adaptive
The unit shell is made of galvanized, phosphorized steel plate with pure polyester plating to withstand
weathering. The unit is reasonably designed to save space. It can be mounted on walls, balconies or the
roof, thus eliminating the need for a dedicated equipment room.
The unit is highly adaptive and can operate smoothly in hostile conditions such as extremely high or low
temperatures.
 Easy Maintenance
To access and service any part of the unit, you just need to dismantle the side panel or the front panel.
When the unit stops working abnormally, the controller prompts the reason to facilitate troubleshooting.

4.2 Hoisting Chillers

Please hoist the unit according to the following illustrations. Tie the cables to the four corners of the unit
while moving it. If you tie the cables to only three corners of the unit, the unit might get unbalanced and fall
off.

Note:
 Chilled water units must be moved with great care.
 Accessory strips cannot be used to hoist or move the unit as they might break and cause unexpected
accidents.
 Do not touch the heat sinks of the heat exchanger bear-handedly as they might cut your fingers.
 Dispose all plastic bags properly and keep them away from children.

4.3 Installing Chiller

 The groundwork should be made of concrete or supporting structures. While designing the
groundwork, you must fully consider the strength of the floor, water discharge (the unit discharges
water while working), pipelining and wiring. If the floor is not strong enough, the unit might fall off and
breakdown, even incur bodily injuries.
 Screw down the chilled water unit using anchor bolts so that it will not fall off
in case of strong wind or earthquakes. To avoid damages caused by strong
wind or earthquakes, The unit must be securely installed at a proper place to
avoid direct hit of strong winds.
 Depending on mounting conditions, operation vibration might pass through
the groundwork and generate noises in the floor and walls. Therefore, proper vibration dampening
mechanisms (such as bumper cushion, bumper frame etc.) should be in place.
 Corners and edges should be properly installed. Otherwise, the unit might get unbalanced and cause
the grounding pins to bend. The unit might fall off and cause bodily injuries if it is not properly installed.

4.5 Connecting Water Pipes

 No water pump is provided as an accessory. A proper water pump must be installed to overcome
resistance of the water pipes.
 Water pressure gauges and thermometers must be installed at the water inlets and outlets to facilitate
the reading of unit operation status.
 The heat exchanger at the water side is made of stainless steel. Water scale may accumulate
depending on the water quality and must be cleared using chemicals from time to time. Therefore, a
chemical cleaning pipe connector needs to be installed at the water pipes (see the following figure).
 The water flow must be in the rated range. If the water flow is too small, scale may accumulate and
degrade the performance of the unit, cause the antifreeze device to activate, or cause rust points and
refrigerant leakage. If the water flow is too large, the unit may be corroded due to water impact.
 A adiabatic water tank with a proper volume is suggested to installed . If the capacity is too small, the
unit might frequently restart, which causes wear and tear on the compressor.
 An expansion water tank must be installed at the return water side of the water system to adapt to
water pressure variations in the water supply system caused by ambient temperature changes.
 An auto relief valve must be installed at the highest point in the water system. A suitable water
discharge valve must be installed at the lowest point in the water system.
 The water pipes must be adiabatic to avoid heat loss and condensate water.
 Please follow the "Illustration for water system installation" and drawings from the design institute
while installing the water system.
 Install the Y-shaped water filter inside the water inlet pipe and rinse the filter screen after
commissioning.
 Before injecting water, make sure that no sand, rubble, rust, soldering tin residue or other impurities
exist in the pipe, as these things might damage the heat exchanger.
While rinsing the water system, please bypass the unit and the terminal heat exchanger using
by-pass valves.

4.6 Pipe Design for the Air-Conditioning System

 The pipes of an air conditioning system must have sufficient transportation capacities. For example,
the water system must ensure that the water flowing through the air conditioning unit or fan coil
reaches the rated flow rate to ensure that the unit works properly.
 Deploy pipes properly. Use pipes with reverse return if possible. Although the initial investment is
increased a little, the water flow in the system is more stable. If pipes have no reverse return design,
pressure between branch pipes must be balanced in the design process.
 When determining the diameters of pipes, ensure that the transportation capacity is sufficient, the
resistance and noise is minimal, and that the unit works economically. A larger pipe diameter requires
more investment, but the flow resistance is smaller, the circulation pump consumes less energy, and
the operation cost is smaller. Therefore, a balance needs to be achieved between the operation cost
and investment by designing the pipe diameter properly. Avoid a large water flow with small
temperature variation to ensure that the pipe system is economical.
 In the design process, calculate water resistance accurately to ensure that water pressures between
circuits are well balanced and that the air conditioning system works with the best water and thermal
conditions.
 The pipe system of an air conditioning system must meet the adjustment requirements for partial
workload.
 The pipe system of an air conditioning system should use energy saving technologies whenever possible.
 Pipes and accessories of the pipe system must meet the related requirements.
 The design of the pipe system must facilitate maintenance, operation, and adjustment.

 Determining the diameter of pipes in the air conditioning system


The pipe diameter is determined based on the following:

3
In the formula: mw-------water flow m /s
v---------water speed m/s

The water speed should be determined by the recommendations in the first table and design the water
pipe diameters accordingly, or you can determine the water pipe diameter based on water flow in the
second table.

Note:
 The minimum working volume refers to the added-up volume of the main water pipe, water tank and
constantly-open terminals of 2-way valves in the water circulation system.
 The actual working volume of the water system must be larger than Vmin; otherwise the unit will send
out alarms and shut down frequently.
 If the actual resultful volume of the water system V is less than Vmin, please install a tank the volume
of which is L (L=Vmin-V).

Example for water system volume calculation:


There are 2 MAC230DR5 modular units with temperature of return water set to 12°C , a main inlet/out
water pipe of DN80 and 50m long and 10 fans with coils constantly open (each has a volume of 1.5 L).
Calculation: Volume of main inlet/outlet water pipe = 3.14 * [(80/2)/100] 2 * 500 = 251 L
Volume of terminal fan coils = 10 * 1.5 = 15 L
According to the table above, Vmin. =419 L
To avoid frequent unit startup/shutdown and alarms, the volume of the water tank should be no less than
Vmin. - V = 419 - 251 - 15 = 153 L

4.8 Calculating volume of expansion water tank


An expansion water tank with a proper volume must be installed to adapt to water volume changes as the
temperature changes and avoid freezing burst and pressure instability at the water pump inlet.
The expansion water tank can also be used to supplement water and discharge air.
Calculating volume of expansion water tank.

Vp=α*△t*Vs
Vp----effective volume of the expansion water tank (volume of water between the signal pipe and the
overflow pipe). m3
α----volume expansion coefficient of water (α =0.0006/°C)
△t----max. water temperature variation °C
Vs----water volume in the system (total water volume in the system and pipes) m3

4.9 Model Selection Principles for the Water Circulation Pump

 Water flow in the water circulation pump ≥ rated water flow × 1.1
 Closed water circulation system: Water circulation pump lift ≥ (Pipe resistance of the water system +
Partial resistance of the water system + Water pressure drop of the unit) × 1.1
 Open water circulation system: Water circulation pump lift ≥(Static resistance of the water system +
Pipe resistance of the water system + Partial resistance of the water system + Water pressure drop of
the unit) × 1.1
 In the case that multiple units share the same pump, the pump lift is calculated according to the circuit
that has the maximum resistance (usually the unit that is farthest away from the pump).

9 Water Quality Management


9.1 Water Quality Requirements
Water in the water system must be softened to prevent scale in the heat exchanger and affecting
the heat exchanger performance. Water not softened can also cause scale in the water pipes and
cause the water resistance to increase. This affects the water flow and the performance of the
water pump. Softened water must meet the following requirements.

Benchmark Tendencies
Item
value Corrosion Scaling
pH (25°C) 7.0 - 9.0 ○ ○
Conductivity (25°C) µS/cm < 800 ○ ○
- -
Cl mg (Cl )/L < 200 ○
Benchmark -
items SO42 mg (SO42-)/L < 200 ○
Acid consumption
mg (CaCO3)/L < 100 ○
(pH = 4.8)
Total hardness mg (CaCO3)/L < 200 ○
Fe mg (Fe)/L < 1.0 ○ ○
- -
Reference S2 mg (S2 )/L 0 ○
+
items NH mg (NH+)/L < 1.0 ○
SiO2 mg (SiO2)/L < 50 ○
Note: ○ represents factors that may cause corrosion or scaling.

Water from the water system is tap water that must meet the local sanitation regulations.

9.2 Water Processing Method


To ensure effective operation and durability, cleaning, washing and chemical processing are very important
for water systems. Different types of water circuits need to be cleaned in different ways.
 Close Re-Circulation System
Water systems of this type generally require no adjustment to subdue scale, and require no chemical to
suppress mud and alga. This type of water system is recommended. Closed recycle systems may need
anti-corrosion measures, including the following (for reference only):
a、 NaNO2, borate and inhibitors for organic materials
b、 NaNO2, borate and silicate
c、 High density chromate solution and pH control
d、 pH and sulfite control
e、 Polyphosphate salt and silicate
f、 Alkali, phosphate and sulfite control
Because it is hard to control water quality, for closed recycle systems, we recommend that the total
density of copper pipe inhibitors such as NaNO2, borax, silicate and benzothiazole should be no less
than 1400 ppm. The inhibitor NaNO2 is soluble in glycol, and can be used in northern areas or in the
subsystem of solar power systems.

 Open Re-circulation System


This type of water system is generally not recommended. They are exposed to the atmosphere, and are
susceptible to scale, corrosion, mud and alga. Therefore, they might degrade the performance and reduce
the service life of the unit.
 Once-through System
Generally, once-through systems are only used for cooling only air conditioners. Water systems of this type
use water from taps, lakes, rivers, and wells. Although the once-through system exchanges heat with the
closed water circuit, it is not considered as an integral part of the water source heat pump system.
Once-through systems may be troubled by either scale or corrosion. This type of water system requires
large amount of adjustment water. Therefore, you need to consider the scale coefficient, the equipment
used for cleaning work, and necessary anti-corrosion materials.

! Caution
Water from lakes and rivers may cause problems such as mud and alga!
