Design Advantages

Construction
The ALR 010E through 030E air-cooled water chillers are factory assembled and mounted on heavy-
gauge steel channel base. This base distributes the unit weight for more even roof loading.

Electrical Control Center

Operating controls, safety controls, and motor starting equipment is factory wired, operationally
tested, and ready for service. A fixed 5 minute solid-state anti-recycle timer delays compressor restart
after safety cutout, power interruption, or thermostat cycling.

Compressors
ALR 010E through 017E use Copeland’s Compliant Scroll tandem compressors. These rugged
hermetic compressors are constructed with an integral cast iron frame, cast iron scrolls, three Teflon
impregnated bearings, and three oil filtration devices for each compressor.
Using Copeland's compliant scroll tandems provides two steps of modulation. One or both
compressors can run, depending on the load of the system, resulting in part-load efficiency that is
equal to full-load efficiency. Two-step modulation is possible because of a special tubing
configuration. This tubing configuration eliminates the need for additional check valves and two-
speed motors. Oil migration is controlled with two specially designed oil and gas equalization lines.
The design also offers radial and axial compliance (no tip seals), a large internal volume for
liquid handling, a removable suction screen, and a rotary dirt trap and oil screen. In addition, the
compressor is self-compensating for wear, handles liquid and debris, and inherently yields the highest
efficiency for its class.
A fail-safe compressor by design includes a solid state motor protection module, 4 individual
motor-winding sensors, a patented internal discharge temperature probe, and a patented shutdown
feature that prevents reverse rotation. An internal discharge check valve helps prevent shutdown
noise and comes standard with high and low pressure taps with Shrader valves, a sight glass, an oil
level adjustment valve, and an off-cycle crankcase heater.
Units are available in five electrical configurations, including 50 Hz, and operate at 3500/2900
RPM. The tandem design allows for excellent part load performance.
The ALR 020E through 030E use Copeland DISCUS valve semi-hermetic compressors. These
compressors are designed for Refrigerant 22 and the high loading associated with air-cooled
applications
Semi-hermetic, 1750/1458 rpm induction type motors are used. The motors are refrigerant-gas
cooled. Solid-state modules in the motor terminal box respond to temperature sensors imbedded in all
three motor windings, providing inherent thermal overload protection for all run and start conditions.
The compressor housing is constructed from closed grained, high nickel content, alloy cast-iron
with no bolted joint between the motor and compressor. The housing includes a cast-iron cylinder
head and stator cover, and a crankcase oil sightglass. A suction strainer built into the compressor in
the gas stream between the suction service valve and the motor, filters out foreign and abrasive
particles. An internal relief valve relieves discharge pressure to the suction side for safety protection
at high compression ratios as required by ANSI/ASHRAE 15 Safety Code
Main bearings are solid cast bronze insert type with oversized bearing area that result in ultra-low
bearing loading.
The crankshaft is die-forged, high strength iron alloy with integral counterweights, statically and
dynamically balanced for smooth operation.

4 ALR 010E - 030E Product Manual ALR1-1

 Connecting rods are lightweight aluminum with integral bearing surfaces on the crankshaft and
piston ends. Pistons are close grain cast iron with oil and compression rings. Piston pins are full
floating type for long life.
Compressors have a force-feed lubrication system with positive oil displacement, a reversible oil
pump, and an operating oil charge. The pump feeds oil through rifle drilled passages in the crankshaft
to all bearing surfaces. Magnetic plugs trap magnetic particles that enter the crankcase. The oil
supply filters through a large area oil strainer. A crankcase heater minimizes oil dilution by refrigerant
at start

Condenser Coils
Condenser coils have internally enhanced, seamless copper tubes arranged in a staggered row pattern.
The coils are mechanically expanded into McQuay’s lanced and rippled aluminum fins with full fin
collars. Protective coil guards provide fin protection.

Condenser Fans and Motors

Multiple direct drive propeller fans operate in formed bell-shaped orifices at low tip speeds for
maximum efficiency and minimum noise and vibration. A heavy-gauge close mesh fan guard
protects each fan.
Each condenser fan has a heavy-duty 3-phase (1-phase on ALR 010E through 017E) motor with
permanently lubricated ball bearings and inherent overload protection.

Evaporator
The evaporator is a compact, high efficiency, single circuit, brazed plate-to-plate type heat exchanger
consisting of parallel stainless steel plates.
The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable and insulated with 3/4"(19mm)
thick closed cell polyurethane insulation. This combination provides freeze protection down to -20°F
(-29°C) ambient air temperature.
The water side working pressure is 430 psig (2966 kPa). Evaporators are designed and
constructed according to, and listed by, Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Hot Gas Mufflers

ALR 020E through 030E have hot gas discharge line mufflers to reduce the overall sound levels.

Selection Procedure

Selection Procedure 60Hz English Units

Table 4 covers the range of leaving evaporator water temperatures and outside ambient temperatures
encompassed under ARI 590. The tables are based on a 10°F temperature drop through the
evaporator. Adjustment factors for applications having other than a 10°F drop can be found in
Table 3. The minimum leaving chilled water temperature setpoint without glycol is 42°F. For anti-
freeze selections, see Table 1 for ethylene glycol or Table 2 for propylene glycol adjustment factors.
Ratings are based on a 0.00025 fouling factor in the evaporator at sea level operation. For other
fouling factors, derates for different delta-Ts, or altitude correction factors see Table 3. For
applications outside the catalog ratings contact your local McQuay sales representative.

Application Adjustment Factors

Ethylene and Propylene Glycol Factors

ALR units can operate with a leaving chilled fluid temperature range of 20°F (-6°C) to 50°F (10°C).
A glycol solution is required when leaving chilled fluid temperature is below 40°F (4.6°C). The use
of glycol will reduce the performance of the unit depending on concentration.

Altitude Correction Factors

Performance tables are based at sea level. Elevations other than sea level affect the performance of the
unit. The decreased air density will reduce condenser capacity consequently reducing the unit's
performance. For performance at elevations other than sea level refer to Table 3.

Evaporator Temperature Drop Factors

Performance tables are based on a 10°F (5°C) temperature drop through the evaporator. Adjustment
factors for applications having temperature drops from 6°F to 16°F (3.3°C to 8.9°C) are in Table 3.
Temperature drops outside this 6°F to 16°F (3.3°C to 8.9°C) range may affect the control system's
capability to maintain acceptable control and are not recommended.
The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the evaporator in a non-operating
mode is 100°F (37.8°C).

Fouling Factor
Performance tables are based on water with a fouling factor of .00025 ft2*hr*°F/Btu (.044
m2*°C/kW) per ARI 590. As fouling is increased, performance decreases. For performance at other
than .00025 (.044)fouling factor refer to Table 3.
Foreign matter in the chilled water system will change the heat transfer capability of the
evaporator, and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. To ensure optimum unit
operation, maintain proper water treatment.

 Notes for “Electrical Data Single Point”
1. Table 7 through Table 9, Field Fuse Size for recommended and maximum is based on use of a time-delay
fuse.
2. Unit wire size ampacity (MCA) is equal to 125% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of RLA
of all other loads in the circuit including the control transformer.
3. If the control transformer option is furnished, no separate 115v power is required.
4. If a separate 115V power supply is used for the control circuit, then the wire sizing amps is 2 Amps.
5. Recommended power lead wire sizes for 3 conductors per conduit are based on 100% conductor ampacity
in accordance with NEC. Wire sizes for 6 conductors per conduit are based on 80% conductor ampacity in
accordance with NEC. Voltage drop has not been included. Therefore, it is recommended that power leads
be kept short. All terminal block connections must be made with copper (type THW) wire.
6. The unit power terminal block may have 2 lugs per phase. Single or parallel conductors should be used for
power connections as listed under “Recommended Power Lead Wire Size.”
7. “Recommended Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 150% of the largest compressor RLA, plus
100% of all other loads in the circuit.
8. “Maximum Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 225% of the largest compressor RLA, plus 100% of
all other loads in the circuit.
9. The recommended power lead wire sizes are based on an ambient temperature of 86° F. Ampacity
correction factors must be applied for other ambient temperatures. Refer to the National Electrical Code
Handbook.
10. The MCA may vary slightly due to fan motor options selected such as SpeedTrol, Totally Enclosed.

Voltage Limitations:
Within 10% of nameplate rating.

Notes for “Compressor and Condenser Fan Amp Draw”:

1. Compressor RLA values are for wiring sizing purposes only but do not reflect normal operating current
draw at rated capacity. If unit is equipped with SpeedTrol condenser fan motors, the first motor on each
refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1hp motor, with a FLA of 2.8 amps at 460 volts, 5.6 amps at 208, 230,
and 575 volts (ALR 020 - 030 only).
2. Compressor LRA for reduced inrush start are for the first winding only. If the unit is equipped with
SpeedTrol motors, the first motor is a single phase, 1 hp motor, with a LRA of 7.3 amps at 460 volts, 14.5
amps at 208, 230 and 575 volts (ALR 020 - 030 only).

Notes for “Field Wiring Data” - Single Point Power:

1. Single point power supply requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit. This power
must be fused.
2. All field wiring to unit power block must be copper.
3. All field wire size values given in table apply to 75° C rated wire per NEC.

Application Data

Unit placement
ALR units are for outdoor applications and can be mounted either on a roof or at ground level. Set
units on a solid and level foundation. On roof mounted applications, install the unit on a steel channel
or I-beam frame to support the unit above the roof. On ground level applications, install the unit on a
substantial base that will not settle. A one piece concrete slab with footings extended below the frost
line is recommended. Be sure the foundation is level within 1/2"(13mm) over its length and width.
The foundation must be strong enough to support the operating weights listed in Table 10 and
Table 11.
On ground level applications protect fins against vandalism using the optional coil guards or by
erecting a screen fence. The fence must allow free flow of air to the condenser coil for proper unit
operation.

Clearances
The flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not be impeded. Restricting airflow or allowing
air recirculation will result in a decrease in unit performance and efficiency because discharge
pressures are increased. There must be no obstruction above the unit that would deflect discharge air
downward where it could be recirculated back to the inlet of the condenser coil. The condenser fans
are propeller type and will not operate with ductwork on the fan outlet.

Install the unit with enough side clearance for

air entrance to the coil and for servicing. Provide
service access to the evaporator, compressors,
electrical control panel and piping components as
shown in Figure 7, Clearances.
Do not allow debris to accumulate near the unit.
Air movement may draw debris into the condenser
coil causing coil starvation. Give special
consideration to low ambient operation where snow
can accumulate. Keep condenser coils and fan
discharge free of snow or other obstructions to permit
adequate airflow for proper unit operation.

Product Manual ALR1-1 ALR 010E - 030E 23

 Sound Isolation
The most effective isolation method is to locate the unit away from sound sensitive areas. Avoid
locations beneath windows or between structures where normal operating sounds may be
objectionable. Reduce structurally transmitted sound by isolating water lines, electrical conduit and
the unit itself. Use wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers to reduce transmission of water or
pump noise into occupied spaces. Use flexible electrical conduit to isolate sound through electrical
conduit. Spring isolators are effective in reducing the low amplitude sound generated by
reciprocating compressors and for unit isolation in sound sensitive areas.

Typical Chilled Water Piping

Flush the system water piping thoroughly before making connections to the unit evaporator. A
strainer of 40 mesh should be installed in the return water line before the inlet to the chiller. Design
the water piping so the chilled water circulating pump discharges into the evaporator inlet.
Connect the return water line to the evaporator inlet connection (the connection closest to the
compressors). Connect the supply water line to the evaporator outlet connection.
Install a flow switch in the horizontal piping of the supply (evaporator outlet) water line.
Provide drain connections at low points in the system to permit complete drainage of the system.
Air vents should be located at the high points in the system to purge air out of the system. A vent
connection on top of the evaporator vessel permits the purging of air out of the evaporator. Purge air
from the water system before unit start-up to ensure adequate flow through the evaporator.
Pressure gauges should be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator. Pressure
drop through the evaporator should be measured to calculate proper flow as shown in Figure 8.
Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines.
Chilled water piping should be insulated to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation. Chillers
not running in the winter should have their water systems thoroughly drained to protect against
freezing. If the chiller operates year round, or if the system is not drained for the winter, the chilled
water piping exposed to outdoor temperature should be protected against freezing. Wrap the lines
with a heater cable and add proper amount of glycol to the system to further protect the system during
low ambient periods.

Chilled Water Piping

The thermostat sensor is factory mounted in the return water well. If an optional high return water
sensor is provided, install sensor bulb in a field supplied tee or strap to the outside of the water line.

 Series Compared to Parallel Operation
Consider system pressure drop when designing the water piping. Parallel piped systems have half of
the total system flow going through the evaporator of each chiller, reducing the individual unit and
total system pressure drop.
Series piped evaporators require that the total system water flows through both evaporators. Not
only is the pressure drop through each evaporator increased but the pressure drops must be added
together to obtain the total evaporator pressure drop. Series piped evaporators normally require larger
circulating pumps for the chilled water system.

Temperature and Water Flow Limitations

ALR units are designed to operate in ambient conditions from 30°F (-1 °C) to 115°F (46°C). A low
ambient option with SpeedTrol allows operation down to 0°F (-18°C). The minimum ambient
temperature is based on still conditions where the wind is not greater than five mph. Greater wind
velocities will result in reduced discharge pressure, increasing the minimum operating ambient
temperature. The ALR air-cooled chillers are available with a field installed wind baffle. The baffles
allow the chiller to operate effectively down to the ambient temperature for which the unit was
designed.
Evaporator flow rates below the minimum values may result in laminar flow causing freeze-up
problems, scaling and poor control. Flow rates above the maximum values will result in unacceptable
pressure drops and may cause excessive nozzle and tube erosion, potentially leading to failure.

Evaporator Freeze Protection

Evaporator freeze protection can be a concern in the application of air-cooled water chillers. To
protect against freeze-up, insulation and an electric heater cable are furnished with the unit. This
protects the evaporator down to -20°F (-29°C) ambient. Although the evaporator is equipped with
freeze protection, it does not protect water piping external to the unit or the evaporator if there is a
power failure or heater cable burnout. Consider the following recommendations for additional
protection.
1. If the unit will not be operated during the winter, drain evaporator end chilled water piping.
Drain and vent connections are provided on the evaporator to ease draining.
2. Add a glycol solution to the chilled water system to provide antifreeze protection. Freeze point
should be approximately ten degrees below minimum design ambient temperature.
3. Bypass water from the heating system through the evaporator when the unit is shutdown during
the winter months. This can be accomplished by a small circulating pump arranged to operate
independently of the heating system and piped to maintain a small flow of water continuously
through the evaporator.
The evaporator heater cable is wired to the 115 volt circuit in the control box. This power should be
supplied from a separate source, but it may be supplied from the control circuit. Operation of the
heater cable is automatic through the ambient sensing thermostat which energizes the evaporator
heater cable for protection against freeze-up. Unless the evaporator is drained in the winter, the
disconnect to the evaporator heater must not be open.

Product Manual ALR1-1 ALR 010E - 030E 25

Optional Features

Control Circuit Transformer

For applications where a separate 115 volt power source is not available, the transformer is factory
installed and wired between the line voltage power terminal block and the 115 volt control circuit.

Part Winding Start (ALR 020E-030E)

Part winding start works in conjunction with the unit's standard compressor sequence start timers to
reduce current inrush by providing two-step starting of each compressor.
Although available as an option, this feature is not normally required on the McQuay multiple
compressor, sequence start design.

Hot Gas Bypass

Hot gas bypass permits unit operation down to 10% of full load capacity. This option includes a hot
gas bypass valve, solenoid valve, and manual shutoff valve. Hot gas bypass can be provided on either
the first refrigerant circuit only with the compressor lead-lag switch omitted, or on both refrigerant
circuits with the standard lead-lag switch provided.

Gauges
Optional factory mounted gauges include high side and low side refrigerant gauges for each
refrigerant circuit as well as oil pressure gauges for each compressor. (Oil pressure gauge not
available on sizes ALR 010E-017E.)

Additional Capacity Reduction Steps

Additional steps of cylinder unloading are available as options on ALR 028E and ALR 030E. This
provides smoother temperature control, fewer compressor cycles, and better part load efficiencies.

High Return Water Unloader Thermostat (ALR 020-030)

Optional factor installed high return temperature unloader thermostat senses high return water
temperatures at startup and keeps the compressors unloaded to avoid unit shutdown due to
compressor motor overload. Field location of the thermostat bulb is required.

High Ambient Unloader Pressurestat (ALR 020-030)

Optional factory installed high ambient unloader Pressurestat senses head pressure exceeding 375
psig (2586 kPa) and unloads the compressors to keep head pressure under control. This feature allows
unit to run part loaded instead of shutting unit down due to high head pressure.

SpeedTrol Head Pressure Control

Optional SpeedTrol head pressure control allows unit operation down to 0°F (-18°C) on all models.

Copper Fin Condenser Coils

Copper fin condenser coils are available as an option on all models.

 Phase Loss/Voltage Protection (ALR 020-030)
Three levels of phase failure protection are available as a factory installed option to guard against
compressor motor burnout: (1) phase loss with under voltage protection, (2) phase loss with
under/over voltage protection, and (3) phase loss with under/over voltage protection and multiple
LED indication of fault type.

Indicator Light Package (ALR 020-030)

Units can be provided with factory installed diagnostic indicator lights which illuminate upon a safety
fault, as well as lights displaying power on and compressor staging. Each safety has an individually
labeled light.

Water Flow Switch

A water flow switch is available for field installation in the chilled water piping to prevent evaporator
freeze-up under low or no flow conditions. Terminals are provided in the unit control center for field
hook-up of the water flow safety switch.

Auxiliary Control Panel For Multiple Chiller Control

Whenever two chillers are used in one chilled water circuit, it is important to control them from a
central controller with one common supply water sensor. Up to 8 steps of capacity control can be
provided as an option from the chiller control module, allowing for additional chillers to be slaved
from one controller. In addition, special auxiliary control panels are available for controlling these
multiple chiller systems arranged for either parallel or series flow. The panels are available for either
indoor or outdoor mounting.

Alarm Bell
A 24 volt alarm bell signals safety trip of the freeze protection Pressurestat or high pressure cutout.
The bell is available in a field installed kit for remote installation.

Time Clock
A 24 hour time clock for remote field installation for night shutdown is available. The time clock is
field connected to the remote shutdown terminals provided in the unit control center. A time clock is
also available with a spring carry-over. During the normal operation, the spring is wound to operate
the clock for up to 10 hours should power be lost to the unit

Vibration Isolators
Spring vibration isolators are available for field installation to reduce vibration transmission through
the unit base.

Cycle Counter and Run Hour Meter (ALR 020-030)

Factory installed cycle counters and hour meters are available for each compressor.
