Customer Benefits

Unsurpassed efficiency
• Zero clearance fit between the two gaterotors and main screw rotor virtually eliminates
leakage between the high and low pressure sides during compression. Special gaterotor
material made from multiple layers of an advanced composite, temperature stable
material makes a zero clearance design possible.
• An internal economizer system enhances the unit's refrigeration effect providing more
BTUs per pound of refrigerant circulated. The result is higher efficiency and lower
operating costs when compared to typical chillers without economizers.
• The ALS screw compressors utilize a liquid refrigerant injection system, meaning only a
fraction of the oil is required when compared to oil injection systems. Oil drag that is
found in oil injected compressors has been eliminated. Less power is required to drive
the compression components (rotors) resulting in a more efficient unit.
• With the liquid injection design, the refrigerant vapor entering the condenser is at a
saturated condition; no desuperheating takes place. This allows the condenser to be fully
utilized for condensing and operate more efficiently.
• The ALS air-cooled chiller is equipped with the most advanced means of refrigerant
flow control available. An electronic expansion valve coupled with MicroTech fuzzy
logic control provides excellent operating efficiencies both at full and part load operation.

 Outstanding Reliability Features
• Full factory testing of the unit with water hookups insures a trouble-free start-up.
Extensive quality control checks during testing insures that each safety and operating
control is properly adjusted and operates correctly. Factory installed options minimizes
field expenses and startup labor.
• The rugged design of the single-screw compressor with its compliant gaterotors allows it
to tolerate liquid slugging. The ALS screw chiller will start and operate under conditions
that would destroy a reciprocating compressor.
• The elimination of many moving parts such as pistons, valves, connecting rods and oil
pumps found on reciprocating compressors results in the enhanced reliability of the
single-screw compressor.
• Due to symmetrical compression taking place on both sides of the main screw rotor,
balanced forces result in the elimination of the large thrust loads inherent in twin-screw
compressors. Very low loading enhances the bearing and compressor durability and
reliability.
• The liquid refrigerant injection design increases compressor reliability, as no large and
expensive oil separators are required. Recurring problems associated with oil injection
systems are a thing of the past.
• Integral to the basic design of the single-screw compressor, the main screw rotor shaft
and the gaterotor shafts cross at right angles in the compressor. The result is ample
space to locate heavy duty bearings and increase compressor reliability since no
limitations are placed on bearing design as found in twin-screw compressors.
• The compressor motor on the ALS screw chiller is liquid refrigerant cooled, allowing
motor operation at lower temperatures, enhancing system reliability and motor life when
compared to suction or discharge gas cooled designs.
• Recent technological advancements have made available a composite material that
prevents premature wear on the gaterotor. The composite material is made from a
multi-layer carbon impregnated material designed for strength, temperature stability, and
durability.

Unmatched Serviceability
• Field serviceability has not been sacrificed to meet design objectives for performance on
the ALS screw chiller. Inspection covers allow for an excellent visual inspection of the
main screw and gaterotors.
• Compressors are located on the outside edges of the base allowing them to be easily
removed from within the unit. This inherent unit design allows for quick access to the
compressors if necessary.
• Carefully laid-out refrigerant piping and components allow for excellent serviceability of
the unit.

 MicroTech , The Ultimate Control System
• A fuzzy logic control system is employed in the ALS screw chiller that optimizes the
suction line superheat and the positioning of the electronic expansion valve at all
compressor capacities resulting in maximized operating efficiencies. Fuzzy logic control
is based on approximate reasoning that maintains tighter control of the system.
• The MicroTech chiller controller, already proven superior to all other chiller control
systems on reciprocating and centrifugal chillers, is employed in the ALS screw chiller.
This advanced microprocessor-based control maintains a precise and stable leaving
evaporator temperature set point. Utilization of fuzzy logic means compressor cycling is
minimized, reducing wear on both compressor and starting components.
• Stand-alone unit controls designed with the system operator in mind provide access to
the temperatures, pressures, set points, operating states, schedules, and alarm messages.
The MicroTech controller includes password protection to guard against unauthorized or
accidental setpoint or parameter changes.
• Complete instrumentation with state of the art pressure transducers, temperature sensors
and optical liquid sensors for unparalleled operator information and diagnostics.
• Superior head pressure control that maximizes unit efficiency by determining optimum
condenser fan operation. At least 5 and as many as 7 stages of heat rejection per circuit
are provided.
• An optional Remote Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) panel provides monitoring and
control of remote chillers via a single twisted pair of wires. The RMS panel allows the
user to access information such as unit status, temperatures and pressures, all control set
points, alarm conditions, time and date of alarm conditions, as well as the ability to clear
alarms remotely. Up to three chillers can be sequenced and monitored from one RMS
panel.
• A personal computer equipped with optional MicroTech Monitor software can be used to
provide a high-level interface with the MicroTech controller. It can be connected to the
controller either directly or remotely via phone lines with an optional modem.
• The optional MicroTech Network Master Panel (NMP) allows multiple screw chiller
controllers to be incorporated into a building-wide network with other MicroTech unit
and auxiliary controllers. In conjunction with a personal computer, it provides the
building operator with the capability to perform advanced equipment control and
monitoring from a central or remote location.
• Open Protocol is a commitment from McQuay International to provide a cost effective
means to building automation through a strategic and joint effort with major temperature
control companies. This optional feature provides an interface between one or multiple
MicroTech controllers and the building automation system. The result is reduced
installation costs, greater reliability and a seamless operator interface with all equipment
in the building.

Design Advantages

Ultra-low Sound Levels

The issue of objectionable sound or "noise" can no longer be treated lightly as manufacturers
may have done in the past. To an owner, sound levels can be as important as unit efficiency
and must be addressed prior to the start of any development program. Concentrated efforts
to design the quietest air-cooled chiller in the market has paid off with the ALS chiller line.
Unique compressor and system design allow the ALS air-cooled chiller to produce sound
levels considerably lower than competitive reciprocating and twin-screw compressor units in
the market today.
The gaterotor material is manufactured from advanced engineered composite, and the
difference in material density and coefficient of elasticity from the main screw rotor reduces
noise levels through the compression chamber. The discharge housing is designed as a
"tuned sound attenuator" to cancel out any noise pulsation. The liquid refrigerant injection
design eliminates the need for large oil separators that have traditionally transmitted
unacceptable noise. Also, the liquid refrigerant that is used for liquid injection attenuates
sound levels within the compressor.

Balanced Forces on Compressor

The single-screw compressor has a well-balanced compression mechanism which cancels
the screw rotor load in both the radial and axial directions. Inherent to the basic single-
screw compressor design is the virtually load free operation that gives main bearings a
design life 3-4 times greater than twin-screws, and eliminates expensive and complicated
thrust balancing schemes. The two exactly opposed gaterotors create two exactly opposed
compression cycles. Compression is made at the lower and upper parts of the screw rotor
at the same time, thus canceling the radial loads. Also, both ends of the screw rotor are
subjected to suction pressure only, which cancels the axial loads and eliminates the huge
thrust loads inherent in twin-screw compressors.

Figure 2, Balanced Forces

Reliable Bearing Design

Since the main rotor shaft and gaterotor shafts cross at right angles in the single-screw
compressor, sufficient space to locate each bearing is obtained. Because of this unique

8 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 characteristic for the single-screw compressor, bearing life can be designed much higher
compared to twin-screws.

Liquid Refrigerant Injection System

All screw compressors require a fluid to be injected into the compression area for the
removal of heat and to seal potential leakage paths. The McQuay ALS screw chiller
employs a liquid refrigerant injection system that increases compressor reliability since no
large and expensive oil separators are required as found on oil injected compressors.
Oil injection systems result in a relatively large percentage of oil in the discharge gas. If not
properly managed, this oil flows through the refrigerant circuit decreasing performance of
the heat exchangers as oil builds up in the system. To prevent heat exchanger performance
degradation, auxiliary equipment such as an oil pump, oil heater, oil cooler and a high
performance oil separator at the compressor discharge section may be required. In some
cases, an oil scavenger system must also be employed to return oil to the compressor.
On the McQuay ALS screw chiller with the liquid refrigerant injection system, a portion of
the subcooled liquid refrigerant from the condenser is injected into the screw rotor grooves.
This provides an effective seal for compression, assures low discharge temperatures, and
eliminates the need for expensive or unreliable equipment for oil extraction and control. This
keeps the devices around the compressor simple, dependable and compact.

Tolerant of Liquid Return

Tolerance to liquid return is provided by the heavy construction of the screw components and
by McQuay's Compliant Gate feature. Should any liquid start to enter the main rotor, the
build up of pressure immediately causes the gate rotor to rise off the main rotor against
spring pressure. This relieves the refrigerant pressure and the refrigerant is pumped out.
When the refrigerant has been discharged, the spring returns the gaterotor returns to its
normal position. As a matter of fact, the ALS single-screw compressor is designed to work
with liquid refrigerant all the time because of the sealing requirements. This increases
system reliability because it permits normal operation under abnormal conditions that would
be catastrophic (liquid return) for many other compressor designs.

Economizer Design
The ALS screw compressor
incorporates an integral
economizer where centrifugal
force is utilized to separate the
flash gas from the liquid
refrigerant prior to it entering the
evaporator. A small centrifugal
liquid/vapor separator mounted
on the rear of the compressor
shaft achieves the separation.
The economizer itself is within
the envelope of the standard
motor housing.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 9

 Low Vibration Levels
The extremely low vibration levels, inherent with the single-screw design, will not pass
through system piping and allow objectionable resonated sound to be carried into the building.
Because the moving components in the McQuay ALS screw compressor are purely
rotational, the dynamic forces and vibration created by the system are very low. This
reduced vibration results in less movement to refrigerant lines and other parts of the system.
The vibration level will not exceed 0.14 in/sec (3.56 mm/sec).

Liquid Refrigerant-Cooled Motor

The compressor motor for the ALS screw chiller is liquid-refrigerant cooled. The liquid
refrigerant allows the motor to operate at lower temperatures and enhances system reliability
and motor life when compared to suction gas-cooled designs found on twin-screw or
competitor's reciprocating compressors.

Wide Application Range

The capability to handle wide application ranges makes the ALS screw chiller a superior
choice for comfort cooling, ice storage, and process applications. McQuay International has
been a proven leader in chiller applications and once again has developed a line of chillers
unsurpassed in performance and quality.

Controls

MicroTech Controller Utilizing Fuzzy Logic

McQuay International has combined
microprocessor power and versatility
and our extensive experience in chiller
design to create the MicroTech screw
chiller controller utilizing a fuzzy logic
control system. The MicroTech control
provides low maintenance, high
performance and energy efficient
operation that is so vital to profitable
building operation in the economic
climate of the 90s.

Fuzzy Logic Control

Traditional control systems on today's chillers do not adequately provide precision
temperature control of the system. McQuay International has implemented an advanced
digital control method based upon fuzzy logic that maintains tighter and more stable control of
the chiller system.
Conventional control logic operates on the true/false, black and white theory. However, in
practical applications everything is not black and white, but rather can be found somewhere
in between as shades of gray. Terms such as hot and cold in conventional control
techniques are replaced by ambiguous words like warm and cool. Fuzzy logic does not
maintain that a statement has to be true or false, but instead measures the degree of truth

10 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 within the statement and begins to take action immediately. Unlike traditional controllers that
rely on a linear control theory, the fuzzy logic based system is based upon approximate
reasoning with a set of fuzzy rules. Fuzzy rules are "if-then" statements with varying
degrees of precision.
A simple analogy of a "if-then" statement could be a car in traffic. If the distance between
two cars is adequate, then the car behind will continue at the same speed. If the distance
between the two cars increases, then the car in the rear can accelerate slowly. If the
distance between the two cars is reduced slightly, then the car behind brakes slowly. If the
distance between them is reduced quickly, then the car in the rear must brake much more
quickly. Fuzzy logic operates on this same principle.
The MicroTech controller supplied on the ALS chillers utilizes fuzzy logic in the control of
suction line superheat and the positioning of the electronic expansion valve in response to
system load. Expansion valve hunting, not uncommon on traditional thermostatic expansion
valves, has been eliminated. Optimized superheat is maintained under all conditions providing
excellent control.
Proactive Control
The Microtech Control continuously monitors all important system parameters and will take
preventative measures to avoid unit shutdown should a system unbalance or upset occur. An
alarm circuit is energized under these circumstances.
Stand-alone Unit Controls
The MicroTech unit controller is a microprocessor-based direct digital control system
designed to provide sophisticated monitoring and control. Designed with the system operator
in mind, the MicroTech controller features an easy to use 12-key keypad and 32-character
display that provides access to temperatures, pressures, set points, operating states,
schedules and alarm messages in either English or Metric units. The controller includes
password protection to guard against unauthorized or accidental set point or parameter
changes.
The MicroTech unit controller can be used as a stand-alone controller, or it can be integrated
into a MicroTech network by using the Network Master Panel or the Remote Monitoring
and Sequencing Panel. Regardless of whether the controller is stand-alone or included in a
network, an IBM-compatible computer containing MicroTech Monitor software can be
connected to give the operator full-screen unit monitoring and control capability.
Electronic Expansion Valve
The ALS air-cooled chiller is equipped with the most
advanced means of refrigerant flow control available.
An electronic expansion valve coupled with a
MicroTech unit controller and fuzzy control logic
provide excellent operating efficiencies both at full and
part load operation.
Unlike conventional thermal expansion valves which
require a large pressure drop across the valve and
result in higher condenser head pressure, the electronic
valve does not need a large pressure drop across it to
operate effectively. During part load operation the
electronic valve allows the system to operate at lower
condensing pressure, minimizes suction line superheat

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 11

 and provides for a more stable system operation. Unit efficiencies are drastically improved.
The electronic expansion valve is an excellent choice of control for the ALS chiller line,
providing precise control with a very fast response time.
Optional Remote Monitoring and Sequencing Panel
The MicroTech Remote Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) panel provides monitoring of
remote chillers via a single twisted pair of wires. The RMS panel allows the user to access
information such as unit status, temperatures and pressures, all control set points, alarm
conditions, time and date of alarm conditions, as well as the ability to clear alarms remotely.
The RMS panel is equipped with a keypad/display that is identical to the chiller controller's
keypad/display. With a special keystroke combination, the RMS keypad/display can be
interfaced with any chiller controller. It then operates identically to the chiller-mounted
keypad/display. Thus the operator has full access to all networked chillers from a single
remote location. Panel-mounted LEDs clearly indicate with which controller the RMS Panel
keypad/display is currently interfaced.
Any chiller alarm or loss of communication alarm that occurs will be indicated by a panel-
mounted alarm LED. An alarm will also cause the panel-mounted annunciator to sound.
The volume can be adjusted with a small potentiometer. Any alarm in the network can be
cleared at the RMS panel keypad.
Optional Personal Computer Monitoring
A personal computer equipped with MicroTech Monitor software can be used to provide a
high-level interface with the MicroTech controller. It can be connected to the controller
either directly or remotely via phone lines with an optional modem. If the controller is part of
a MicroTech network personal computer monitoring can be done via network
communications.

Optional Network Master Panel

The MicroTech Network Master Panel (NMP) allows multiple screw chiller controllers to be
incorporated into a building-wide network with other MicroTech unit and auxiliary
controllers. In conjunction with a personal computer, it provides the building operator with
the capability to perform advanced equipment control and monitoring from a central or
remote location.
Optional Open Protocol
Open Protocol is a commitment from McQuay International to provide a cost effective
means to building automation through a strategic and joint effort with major temperature
control companies. Open Protocol provides an interface between one or multiple MicroTech
controllers and the building automation system. The result is reduced installation costs,
greater reliability and a seamless operator interface with all equipment in the building.
The MicroTech Open Protocol Master (OPM) panel is usually required to provide the
temperature control company a single-point connection when two or more MicroTech
controllers are being networked with the temperature control company's system.

Application Adjustment Factors

Ethylene and Propylene Glycol Factors

ALS chiller units are designed to operate with a leaving chilled fluid temperatures of 21.0°F
to 50.0°F (-6.1°C to 10.0°C). Leaving chilled fluid temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C) result
in evaporating temperatures at or below the freezing point of water and a glycol solution is
required. The use of glycol will reduce the performance of the unit depending on its
concentration. This should be taken into consideration during initial system design. On
glycol applications the supplier normally recommends that a minimum of 25% solution by
weight be used for protection against corrosion.

Altitude Correction Factors

Performance tables are based on sea level altitude. At other than sea level the performance
of the unit will be decreased due to the lower air density. For performance at elevations
other than sea level refer to Table 2.

Evaporator Temperature Drop Factors

Performance tables are based on a 10 degree F (5.6 degree C) temperature drop through the
evaporator. Other delta-Ts will require adjustment factors found in Table 2. Temperature
drops outside a 6 to 16 degree F (3.3 to 8.9 degree C) range may adversely 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 0.0001 (0.0176) per ARI
550/590-98. As fouling is increased, performance decreases. For performance at other
fouling factors refer to Table 2.
Foreign matter in the chilled water system will adversely affect the heat transfer capability
of the evaporator, and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. To
insure optimum unit operation, proper water treatment and filtration must be maintained.

NOTES:
1. Rated in accordance with ARI Standard 550/590. Shaded and bold ratings are certified in accordance with the ARI Water-Chilling Packages Using the
Vapor Compression Cycle Certification Program, which is based on ARI Standard 550/590.
2. Units with remote evaporators are not included in the ARI Certification Program.
3. Ratings based on HCFC-22, evaporator fouling factor of 0.0001, 10 degree delta-T, evaporator flow of 2.4 gpm/ton and sea level altitude.
4. For units with SpeedTrol option multiply capacity and COP by 0.99.
5. For units operating at 208 volt, multiply capacity by 0.98.
6. Interpolation is allowed, extrapolation is not permitted. Consult McQuay for performance outside the cataloged ratings.
7. KW input is for compressors only. EER is for the entire unit, including compressors, fan motors and control power. Total power to the unit can be
calculated by: kW = tons x 12 / EER
8. Ratings are valid for operation on 3 phase, 60 Hz, and 208//230/380/460/575 volts.

Sound Data
Sound levels are as important as unit cost and efficiency, and must be addressed before the
start of any project design. Efforts by McQuay design engineers to design chillers that are
sensitive to the sound requirements of the market, combined with McQuay’s inherently quiet
rotary screw compressors, have paid off.

Standards
ARI has established standards to provide uniform methods for the determination of the sound
levels of equipment. For large air-cooled chillers it is ARI Standard 370, Sound Ratings of
Large Outdoor Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Equipment.

Background Information
Sound is a vibration in an elastic medium and is essentially a pressure and particle
displacement phenomena. A vibrating body produces compression waves and as the waves
are emitted from the vibrating body, molecules are ultimately compressed. These values are
transmitted through gas, liquid, solids-anything which is elastic or viscous.
The sound data provided in this section is presented with both sound pressure and sound
power levels. Sound power is the total sound energy radiated by a source per unit of time
integrated over the surface through which the sound is radiated. Sound power is a
calculated quantity and cannot be measured directly like sound pressure. Sound power is not
dependent on the surrounding environment or distance from the source.
Sound pressure varies with the distance from the source and is dependent on its
surroundings. For example, a brick wall located 10 feet from a unit will affect the sound
pressure measurements differently than a brick wall at 20 feet. Sound pressure is measured
in decibels (dB), which is a dimensionless ratio (on a logarithmic scale) between measured
sound pressure and a reference sound pressure level.

Sound Pressure Levels - Full Load

All sound pressure tables give the overall "A" weighted sound pressure levels which are
considered typical of what may be measured in a free field with a hand held sound meter in
the absence of any nearby reflective surfaces. For air-cooled units, the sound pressure
levels are measured at 30 feet (10 meters) from the side of the unit at 100% unit load and
ARI conditions; 95°F (35°C) ambient air temperature and 54/44°F (12/7°C) chilled water
temperatures.

Sound Power Levels

Acoustical consultants may require sound power octave band data to perform a detailed
acoustical analysis. Sound measurements are taken over a prescribed area around the unit
and the data is mathematically calculated to give the sound power in dB.

ALS Sound Data

Sound power and sound pressure data for the ALS units can be found in Table 11 and Table
12. More detailed information on sound attenuation, the effect of multiple unit installations,
sound reflection from buildings, and other sound related subjects can be found in the
McQuay Application Manual, AM ALSWHS.

 Sound Reduction Due to Distance from a Unit
The distance between a source of sound and the location of the sound measurement plays an
important role in minimizing sound problems. The equation below can be used to calculate
the sound pressure level at any distance if the sound power is known. Results for typical
distances are tabulated in Table 13. Another way of determining the effect of distance is to
work from sound pressure only. Figure 4 gives the reduction in sound pressure due to
distance.
Sound pressure can be calculated at any distance from the unit if the sound power is known.
Lp=Lw-(20 log r) + (10 log Q) - .5
Lp = sound pressure
Lw = sound power
r = distance from unit in feet
Q = directionality factor

Air-Cooled Unit Orientation to Minimize Sound

The ALS chiller’s sound is directional in nature allowing the contractor/engineer to position
the unit to minimize potential noise problems. Because the sound pressure levels are lower
at both ends of the unit than at the sides, the chiller should be oriented such that the control
box end or end opposite the control box faces the direction where the lowest sound level is
required.

28 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 The control box end provides an excellent acoustic barrier to the compressor sound as it
covers one full end of the unit. The sound pressure levels at the control box end will be 5
dBA less than on the sides. On the end opposite the control box, the compressor sound is
blocked by the coil structure, evaporator and naturally attenuated by distance as the
compressors are located approximately ¾ the length of the unit away from this end. The
sound pressure levels at the end opposite the control box will be 4 dBA less than on the
sides.

Sound Pressure Levels, Low Ambient Operation

Air-cooled unit operation below 95°F (35°C) will also result in lower sound pressure levels.
The sound pressure level will decrease 1 dBA for ambient temperatures between 85-94°F
(29.4-34.4°C), 2 dBA for ambient temperatures between 75-84°F (24-28.9°), and 3 dBA for
ambient temperatures between 65-74°F (18.3-23.3°C).
Sound Pressure Levels, Multiple Units
Multiple air-cooled unit installations will have a higher sound level than a single unit on a
doubling basis. Two units will have approximately 3 dB higher sound level of one unit, 4 units
will be approximately 6 dB louder, and 8 units approximately 9 dB louder than one unit.
Sound Control, Air-Cooled Units
Walls adjacent to a unit (20 feet {6.1
meters} or less) will reflect sound
outwards, increasing the sound
pressure on the side away from the
wall. This sound increase could be as
high as 3 dB for one wall and as high
as 6 dB for a corner location. Unit
orientation and/or distance as noted
above will decrease sound levels.
Sound levels can also be controlled by the installation of barrier walls. To be effective as
sound blockers, walls must be solid with no open penetrations. Sound tends to leak out of
openings. Block walls with filler material and slots on the side facing the unit are especially
effective. The wall should be about 10 feet high (two feet higher than the unit) and located
at least 10 feet away so as not to affect unit performance. A three sided enclosure will be
the most effective solution and will reduce sound levels by about 10 dB. Remember that the
wall will increase the sound level on the side opposite it by 3 to 6 dB (one or three sided
wall). Note: The effect of adjacent walls on air recirculation and restriction must always be
considered when employing sound barrier walls. More complete information on sound
attenuation can be found in Application Manual AM ALSWHS.

 Electrical Data Notes
1. Allowable voltage limits
Unit nameplate 208V/60Hz/3PH: 187V to 229V
Unit nameplate 230V/60Hz/3Ph: 207V to 253V
Unit nameplate 380V/60Hz/3Ph: 342V to 418V
Unit nameplate 460V/60Hz/3Ph: 414V to 506V
Unit nameplate 575V/60Hz/3Ph: 517V to 633V
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 control transformer. Wire
size ampacity for separate 115V control circuit power is 15 amps for ALS125B through
ALS280B.
3. Compressor RLA values are for wire sizing purposes only but do reflect normal
operating current draw at unit rated capacity. If unit is equipped with SpeedTrol
condenser fan motors, the first motor on each refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1 hp
motor, with a FLA of 2.8 amps at 460 volts (5.6 amps at 208/230 volts). If the unit is
not equipped with SpeedTrol, the standard fan motor will be 1 1/2 hp, 3-phase (for
ALS125B-280B except ALS204 which will be 2 hp, 3-phase) with FLA as shown in
the electrical tables. For ALS300B-380B the standard fan motor will be 2 hp, 3-phase
and for ALS425B fan motor will be 2.5 hp, 3-phase.
4. Compressor LRA for reduced inrush start is for the first winding. If the unit is equipped
with SpeedTrol motors, the first motor on each refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1 hp
motor, with a LRA of 7.3 amps at 460 volts (14.5 amps at 208/230 volts). If the unit is
not equipped with SpeedTrol, the standard fan motor will be 1 1/2 hp, 3-phase with a
LRA as shown in the electrical tables.
5. Single point power supply requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the
unit. This power must be fused.
6. Multiple point power supply requires two independent power circuits on ALS125B-
ALS204B, ALS300-ALS425 and three independent power circuits on ALS220B-
ALS280B each with separate fused disconnects and a separate control circuit.
7. All field wiring to unit power block or optional nonfused disconnect switch must be
copper.
8. Field wire size values given in tables apply to 75°C rated wire per NEC except for
ALS185B-ALS204B and ALS370B, ALS380B, ALS425B for 208V application or as
noted.
9. External disconnect switch(s) or HACR breakers must be field supplied. Note: On
single point power units a non-failure disconnect switch in the cabinet is available as an
option.
10. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes.
11. Recommended time delay fuse size or HACR circuit breakers is equal to 150% of the
largest compressor motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum
of condenser fan FLAs.
12. Maximum time delay fuse size or HACR circuit breakers is equal to 225% of the largest
compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum of
condenser fan FLAs.

Installation and Application

Rigging
Care should be taken to avoid dropping the unit during unloading or moving as this may result
in serious damage. Do not push or pull the unit from anything other than the base, and block
the fork lift away from the unit to prevent damage to the sheet metal cabinet and end frame.
Do not lift the unit with a fork lift truck. To lift the unit, two 2 1/2 inch (65mm) diameter
lifting holes are provided in the base of the unit. Spreader bars must be used between
rigging lines to prevent damage to the condenser coils or unit cabinet.

Unit Placement
For roof mounted applications, the unit should be installed on a steel channel or I-beam frame
to support the unit above the roof. For ground level applications, the unit should be installed
on a substantial base that will not settle. A one piece concrete slab with footings extended
below the frost line is recommended. The foundation must be level within 1/2 inch (13mm)
over its length and width and strong enough to support the unit's operating weight as listed in
the Physical Data tables.
On ground level applications fin protection against vandalism is recommended, either by the
optional factory installed condenser coil guard or a field installed screen fence. Note that the
fence must allow free flow of air to the condenser coil for proper unit operation.
Clearances
Since these units are air cooled, the flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not be
impeded. Restricting unit airflow and air recirculation will result in a decrease in unit
performance and efficiency due to an increase in operating discharge pressures. Although
the MicroTech chiller control system will cycle fans or may unload compressors to maintain
the optimum system head, adequate clearances must be obtained. Warm air recirculation
and condenser coil air starvation can be prevented with proper design.
There must be no obstruction above the unit that would tend to deflect discharge air
downward where it could be recirculated back to the inlet of the condenser coil. The
condenser fans are propeller type and ductwork should not be applied to the fan outlet.
Further information on air restriction can be found in Application Manual AM ALSWHS.
For lateral clearance considerations, the unit must be installed with sufficient clearance for
air entrance to the coil and for servicing. Service access to the evaporator, compressors,
electrical control panel and piping components must be provided as per the limitations in
Figure 11 through Figure 13. Do not block access to sides or ends of unit with piping or
conduit.
Debris should not be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of the unit. Air movement may
draw debris into the condenser coil causing coil starvation. Special consideration should be
given to units installed in cold climates where snow accumulation is common. Condenser
coils and fan discharge must be kept free of snow or other obstructions to permit adequate
airflow for proper unit operation. Units mounted next to a building with a sloping roof must
be protected from falling ice and snow.
Sound isolation
The ultra-low sound level for the ALS screw chiller satisfies most customer requirements.
However, there may be applications where extremely low sound levels may be required.
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. Isolating water lines, electrical conduit and the unit itself can reduce
structurally transmitted sound. Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used
to reduce transmission of water or pump noise into occupied spaces, and flexible electrical
conduit can be used to isolate sound through electrical conduit. Spring isolators are effective
in reducing the low amplitude sound generated by screw compressors and can be used for
unit isolation in sound sensitive areas.

 Figure 13, Clearance Requirements, ALS 300B – ALS 425B

Notes:
1. Minimum side clearance between two units is 12 feet (3.7 meters).
2. Unit must not be installed in a pit or enclosure that is deeper or taller than the height of
the unit unless extra clearance is provided per note 4.
3. Minimum clearance on each side is 8 feet (2.4 meters) when installed in a pit no deeper
than the unit height.
4. Minimum side clearance to a side wall or building taller than the unit height is 8 feet (2.4
meters) provided no solid wall above 6 feet (1.8 meters) is closer than 12 feet (3.7
meters) to the opposite side of the unit.
5. The removable post for compressor service access must not be blocked at either side of
the unit.
6. Do not mount electrical conduits, etc, above the side rail on either side of the unit.
7. There must be no obstruction of the fan discharge.

Typical Chilled Water Piping

The return water line must be piped to the evaporator inlet connection (the connection
closest to the compressors) and the supply water line must be piped to the evaporator outlet
connection.
A flow switch must be installed in the horizontal piping of the supply (evaporator outlet)
water line.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 57

 Drain connections must be provided at all low points in the system to permit complete
drainage of the system. Air vents must be located at the high points in the system to purge
air out of the system. A vent connection is located on top of the evaporator vessel under the
insulation to permit the purging of air out of the evaporator. Air must be purged from the
water system prior to unit start up to insure adequate flow through the vessel and to prevent
safety cutouts on the freeze protection.
Pressure gauges must be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator.
Pressure drop through the evaporator should be measured to determine proper flow from
Figure 3. Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water lines
and must be used if the unit is mounted on spring isolators. Isolation valves in the chilled
water supply and return are required.
Chilled water piping should be insulated to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation.
Chillers not operating in the winter should have the 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 air should be protected against
freezing by wrapping the lines with a heater cable. An adequate percentage of glycol should
be added to the system to further protect the system during low ambient periods.

Figure 14, Typical Chilled Water Piping

Series vs. Parallel Operation

System pressure drop must be considered when laying out the water piping. Parallel piped
chiller systems have one half of the total system flow going through the evaporator of each
chiller, keeping the individual unit and total system pressure drop relatively low. Series piped
evaporators require that the total system fluid flow through both evaporators. Not only is the
pressure drop through each evaporator dramatically 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

ALS units are designed to operate in ambient conditions from 40°F to 120°F (4°C to 50°C)
with a low ambient option allowing operation down to 0°F (-18°C) using the optional
SpeedTrol control. The minimum ambient temperature is based on still conditions where the

58 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 wind is not greater than five mph. Greater wind velocities will result in reduced head
pressure, thus the minimum operating ambient temperature will increase. The ALS air
cooled chillers are available with field installed wind baffles which allow the chiller to operate
effectively down to the ambient temperature for which it was designed.
The minimum and maximum evaporator flow rates are shown in Figure 3. Flow rates below
the minimum values may result in laminar flow causing poor heat transfer, 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
with onboard evaporators. To protect against freeze-up, insulation and an electric heater
cable are provided as standard, protecting the evaporator down to -20°F (-29°C) ambient air
temperature. Although the evaporator is equipped standard with freeze protection, it does
not protect water piping external to the unit or protect the evaporator in the event of a power
failure or heater cable burnout. The following recommendations may be considered for
additional protection:
1. Drain the evaporator and chilled water piping if the unit will not be operated during the
winter. Drain and vent connections are provided on the evaporator to facilitate 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. Excessive glycol concentrations should be avoided, 50 percent maximum
for ethylene glycol and 35 percent maximum for propylene glycol is recommended.
The evaporator heater cable is wired to the 115 volt circuit in the control box. It is
recommended that this power 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 that energizes the evaporator heater cable for protection against freeze-
up. Unless the evaporator is drained in the winter, the disconnect switch to the evaporator
heater must not be open.
Alternately, the evaporator on all ALS units can be remotely mounted indoors. This removes
the chilled water from a freezing environment and eliminates the potential for freezing. See
the following Remote Evaporator section for details.

Electrical Connections
All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes.
ALS units may be ordered with internal power wiring for either single or multiple point
power connections. If single point power connection is ordered, a single power terminal
block is provided and wiring within the unit is sized in accordance with the U.S.A. National
Electrical Code. A single field supplied disconnect is required. If multiple point power wiring
is ordered, two power connections are required for ALS 125B - ALS 204B and ALS 300B -
ALS 425B. Three power connections are required for ALS 220B - ALS 280B. Wiring
within the unit is sized in accordance with the U.S.A. National Electrical Code. Separate
field supplied disconnects are required for each circuit.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 59

 Disconnecting means are addressed by Article 440 of the U.S.A. National Electrical Code
(NEC) which requires "disconnecting means capable of disconnecting air conditioning and
refrigerating equipment including motor-compressors, and controllers from the circuit
feeder." The disconnect switch should be selected and located within the NEC guidelines.
Maximum recommended fuse sizes are given in the electrical data tables of this catalog for
help in sizing the disconnect.
ALS units have single or multiple factory installed main power supply connection points
which require one, two, or three main power supply disconnect switches, supplied by others.
For recommended copper power lead wire sizes, refer to the Electrical Data Tables.
Terminals are provided in the unit control center for field hookup of the control circuit to a
115 volt power supply. An optional control circuit transformer is available, factory installed,
to eliminate the requirement for a separate power supply to the control circuit.
Terminals are provided in the unit control center for field hookup of the evaporator heater to
either a separate 115 volt power supply or to control circuit power.

Remote Evaporator

General
The multiple compressor ALS air-cooled chillers are available with remote evaporator. This
allows the main unit to be installed outdoors to save interior room and eliminates the need for
anti-freeze solutions and heat tracing of chilled water lines since the chilled water system is
indoors. There are some general guidelines to review before proceeding:
1. R-22 only.
2. Maximum line length of 50 ft (15 m) and Total Equivalent Length (TEL) of 120 ft
(37 m).
3. Evaporator not more than 6 ft (1.8 m) above the compressor or 16 ft (5 m) below
compressor.
4. No underground piping.
5. No hot gas bypass.
6. Units with remote evaporator are not included in the ARI Certification Program.

The remote evaporator is shipped separately, ready for quick and easy installation at the job
site. All refrigerant accessories such as liquid-vapor line shut-off valves, replaceable core
filter-driers, liquid line solenoid valves, electronic expansion valves, and sightglasses are
already included on the ALS condensing unit. The evaporator is equipped with entering and
leaving chilled water temperature sensor wells. The sensors are pre-wired to the ALS unit
with 75 feet long sensor leads that must be field connected to the evaporator thermowells.
Suction pressure transducers and temperature sensors must also be relocated to the
evaporator. ALS units are shipped with a holding charge of refrigerant. Field piping must be
leak tested, evacuated and the entire unit charged during installation. Do not exceed 150
psig test pressure unless the unit is blanked off from the piping.

60 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 Performance Derate Factors
All performance tables and adjustment factors found in this catalog are applicable for remote
evaporator installations, however, a performance derate must be applied to the R-22
performance data due to additional pressure drops in the suction and liquid lines which cause
a loss of compressor performance. These derates are based on a suction line pressure drop
equivalent of approximately 2°F (1°C) change in saturation temperature.
For R-22 applications:
Capacity = Tons(kW) x 0.97
Power = Compressor kW x 0.99

Suction Lines
General
Careful design of the refrigerant piping is necessary for efficient system operation. The
refrigerant piping should be designed for a low pressure drop to obtain maximum capacity
and efficiency while maintaining adequate velocity. Lines should slope in the direction of
flow to assure good oil return to the compressors. Cost considerations favor keeping line
sizes as small as possible while not exceeding acceptable pressure drops in order to maintain
unit performance.

NOTE
All refrigerant piping must be reviewed by McQuay Application Engineers
prior to order entry and will be verified by McQuay startup technicians.

Suction line sizing

Pressure drop in the suction line reduces system capacity and efficiency because it forces
the compressor to operate at lower suction pressure. The suction line should be sized for a
pressure drop approximately equivalent of 2°F (1°C) change in saturation temperature. For
suction line sizing see Table 33 through Table 35. For applications with the evaporator below
the ALS unit, the vertical section of the suction lines must be sized to return oil to the
compressors at the minimum compressor capacity step.
Example of Suction Line Size Calculation
ALS140B condensing unit with refrigerant R-22
Evaporator located 5 feet below the ALS compressor.
Lineal length of horizontal suction line is 25 feet
Suction line requires 7 long radius (90°) elbows; 3 in the horizontal, 4 in the riser
From Table 33, the nominal circuit capacities for circuit 1 and 2 are 65 and 80 tons
respectively
Total lineal suction line length = 30 feet each circuit (25 feet horizontal plus 5 feet
vertical riser). For the first try, assume that the total equivalent suction line length is
twice the lineal suction line length.
Therefore the estimated total equivalent suction line length = 60 feet

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 61

 From Table 34 and Table 35, For nominal circuit capacities of 65 & 80 tons and equivalent
line length of 60 ft, the suction line size = 2 5/8" for horizontal lines and 2 1/8" for vertical
lines.
From Table 38, Fitting loss for 2 5/8" long radius (90°) elbow = 4.1 ft, and 3.3 ft for the 2 1/8
elbows.
Therefore fitting loss in equivalent feet of pipe for (3) 2 5/8" long radius (90°) elbow =
12.3 ft, and 13.2ft for (4) 2 1/8" elbows.
Therefore the actual equivalent suction line length = 30 + 12.3 + 13.2 = 55.5 feet
From Table 34 and Table 35, For nominal circuit capacities of 65 & 80 tons and equivalent
line length of 55.5 ft the suction line size is correct.

Liquid-Vapor Lines
The liquid-vapor line from the ALS condensing unit to the evaporator liquid connection is not
a conventional liquid line since it carries both liquid and vapor. The compressors on the ALS
units utilize a liquid cooled motor and an economizer. Therefore the expansion valve which
feeds the full flow of liquid refrigerant into the compressor for motor cooling is mounted in
the liquid line between the condenser sub-cooling coil and the compressor inlet; not at the
evaporator inlet. The liquid-vapor line to the evaporator is a low pressure line downstream
of the expansion valve and the size is slightly larger than a normal liquid line. For liquid line
sizing see Table 36 and Table 37.

Insulation
All piping joints and fittings must be thoroughly leak tested before insulation is applied.
Suction lines must be insulated and should not be installed underground. Suction line
insulation must be selected to prevent condensation under local ambient conditions with the
lines at 40°F to 50°F (4.4°C to 10°C) operating temperatures. The liquid-vapor lines will
operate at 40°F to 60°F (4.4°C to 15.6°C) and must also be insulated to prevent sweating
and heat gain.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 63

 Location and Arrangement
Refrigerant lines should be as short and direct as possible to minimize tubing and fittings.
Long radius elbows must be used (except for traps) to minimize the pressure drops. Traps
should be as short as possible to minimize oil accumulation. Refrigerant piping should be
arranged so that normal inspection of the equipment is not hindered. Adequate clearance
should be provided between refrigerant piping and adjacent walls for insulation. Piping
should be run so that it does not interfere with compressor service access, passages or
obstruct headroom, windows and doors. Suction line hangers must be sized and located to
support the weight of the piping in accordance with good piping practice.
Suction and liquid-vapor connection points for each circuit are labeled to facilitate field
piping. Care must be exercised in routing the piping to avoid mixing piping from different
circuits. The circuits on the outdoor ALS unit must match the circuits on the evaporator (i.e.
circuit #1 on the outdoor ALS unit must be connected with circuit #1 on the evaporator).
Horizontal portions of the suction lines must be downward sloping toward the compressors.
Slope all piping in the direction of flow. Vertical portions of the suction lines must be sized
for oil return at minimum compressor load.
Note: Double section risers must not be utilized on any circuit. Traps must be provided as
shown on Figure 15 and Figure 16.

Equivalent Line Lengths

Recommended refrigerant line sizes are based on equivalent line lengths of straight pipe, that
is, a combination of straight pipe, fittings and valves. The pressure drop through valves and
fittings is determined by establishing the equivalent straight length of pipe of the same size
with the same friction loss. The "Total Equivalent Length" is the sum of the "Lineal Line
Length" and the appropriate "Valve and Fitting Losses in Equivalent Feet of Pipe for Field
Supplied Piping" given in Table 38.

NOTE: Keep the trap width at a minimum to avoid trapping excessive oil.

Startup Procedures
NOTE: McQuayService or an authorized McQuay service agent must do initial start-up and
commissioning.

Filter Driers
Following an initial 24 hour operation the pressure drop across the replaceable core, filter
drier should be checked. If this pressure drop exceeds the values given in Table 39 at the
various load conditions the filter drier cores must be replaced. Also if the moisture indicating
sight glass shows a wet system condition after 24 hours of operation the filter cores must be
changed. This should remove any contaminants introduced during field piping. The filter
drier cores must also be changed anytime the system is opened for servicing.

Refrigerant and Oil Charge

The relative position of the ALS unit and the evaporator and the distance between them
plays a critical role in determining suction and liquid line sizes and the field refrigerant and oil
charges. ALS units with the remote evaporator option are shipped with a factory refrigerant
and oil charge suitable for the normal packaged unit. It will be necessary to add refrigerant
and oil for the added connecting piping to the remote evaporator. See Table 40 for
refrigerant charge for suction and liquid-vapor lines. McQuayService will supply and add the
additional oil required by the refrigerant piping. The correct oil is Planetelf ACD68AW,
McQuay Part No. 735030439 (5 gal.), 735030438 (1 gal.).
Charging Procedure
The calculated refrigerant and oil charge must be added through the factory supplied
charging valve located on the liquid-vapor line coming out of the compressor. Sufficient
charge must be added to clear the liquid line sight glass located at the outlet of the
condenser. Add an extra 10 lb. of refrigerant after the sight glass is clear. Note: Charge
must never be added through the compressor suction line.

Oil Charge Calculation

Total Field Oil Charge = 4% by weight of the field refrigerant charge added to the suction
and liquid-vapor lines.
Note: For every 10 lb. (160 oz) of refrigerant charge added, a 6.4 oz (equal to 0.4 pint fluid
measure) oil charge is required.
Example: (In I-P Units)
Total suction line lineal length = 20 ft.; Suction line size = 2 5/8 in.
Total liquid-vapor line lineal length = 30 ft.; Liquid-Vapor line size = 1 5/8
From Table 40 obtain the suction and liquid-vapor line refrigerant charge
Refrigerant charge required in the suction line = 1.0 lb.
Refrigerant charge required in the liquid-vapor line = 15.0 lb.
Total Refrigerant charge required in the suction and liquid-vapor line = 16.0 lb.
Total Oil Charge = 4% by weight of the total field refrigerant charge added to the suction
and liquid-vapor lines = 10.3 oz (0.6 pint)
Notes:
1. The only approved oil is that identified on the label attached to the compressors. All
POE oils are hygroscopic and care should be exercised in handling the oil to avoid
absorption and retention of moisture.
2. Do not leave the oil container open for more than a minute while charging oil. Do not
use oil that has not been properly sealed and stored.
3. The evaporator is supplied without heater.

Standard Features

Full Factory Testing

Factory run tests with water hookups on all units prior to shipment help insure a trouble free
start-up. Each unit is pressure tested, evacuated, and charged with a full operating charge of
refrigerant and oil. Extensive quality control checks and individual unit tests insure that all
controls are properly adjusted and operating correctly. Job site start-up and expenses are
kept to a minimum as the unit is shipped ready to operate.

Rigging
Designed for easy handling and low installation costs, the ALS air-cooled screw chillers are
assembled on a rugged galvanized steel channel base. The channel base distributes the unit
weight for uniform low roof loading. Lifting holes are provided in the base of the unit to
simplify installation.

Cabinet Construction
The unit casing and all structural members and rails are fabricated of continuous G90
galvanized steel and galvanized steel channel. The galvanized coating is applied to the base
metal by the hot dip process and conforms to standard ASTM A525. The exterior casing is
phosphatized and painted with a beige urethane finish.

Compressors
All units feature multiple compressors with independent refrigerant circuits. The compressor
is a direct drive, 3600 rpm, single-screw type with one main screw rotor that meshes with
two diametrically opposed gaterotors. The two exactly opposed gaterotors create two
exactly opposed compression cycles resulting in a well balanced compression cycle.
The compressor utilizes an internal economizer to enhance the unit's refrigeration effect and
to allow the compressor to run at a more efficient operating point. During the economizer
cycle vapor produced at the electronic expansion valve and motor cooling process is
redirected to the rotor inlet, while the remaining liquid refrigerant flows to the evaporator.
Unlike twin-screw designs, the ALS single-screw compressor uses liquid refrigerant instead
of oil to seal the rotors. The oil management concerns associated with oil injection systems
are a thing of the past.
The electric motor is semi-hermetic, squirrel cage induction type and cooled by liquid
refrigerant. This allows the motor to operate at lower temperatures enhancing system
reliability and motor life when compared to suction gas cooled motors found on reciprocating
and twin-screw compressors.
Each compressor is equipped with suction and discharge shutoff valves to facilitate service
work.

Evaporator
The evaporator is a direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing in the baffled
shell and refrigerant flowing through the tubes. Independent refrigerant circuits within the
evaporator serve each compressor.

72 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 The evaporator is constructed with a carbon steel shell and seamless high efficiency copper
tubes. Roll expansion anchors the refrigerant tubes in the heavy carbon steel tube sheets.
Refrigerant heads are constructed of carbon steel and are removable to permit access to the
tubes from either end. For easy draining and venting of the shell, 3/8 inch vent and drain
plugs are provided on the top and bottom of the shell.
The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable (except remote
evaporators) and insulated with ¾ inch thick vinyl nitrate polymer sheet insulation to provide
freeze protection down to 20°F (-29°C) ambient air temperature. An ambient thermostat
controls the heater cable. (Note: A water flow switch must be field installed to protect
against evaporator freeze-up under low water flow conditions.)
The evaporator insulation has a K factor of 0.28 at 75°F (24°C). The insulation is fitted and
cemented in place, then painted with a resilient vinyl base paint to resist cracking.
The tube side maximum working pressure is 300 psi (2068 kPa). The water side working
pressure is 175 psi (1207 kPa). All evaporators are designed, constructed, inspected and
stamped in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code.

Condenser Fans and Motors

Multiple direct-drive propeller fans operate in formed bell shaped orifices at low tip speeds
for maximum static efficiency and minimum noise and vibration. Each fan is protected by a
heavy-gauge close meshed fan guard and is positioned within the unit cabinet for maximum
protection against the elements.
A heavy-duty, 3-phase motor with permanently lubricated ball bearings and inherent overload
protection drives each condenser fan. Factory fusing provides positive protection from short
circuiting.

Condenser Coils
The condenser coils are constructed with internally enhanced seamless copper tubes
arranged in a staggered row pattern and mechanically expanded into McQuay lanced and
rippled aluminum fins with full fin collars. The fins have full drawn collars to completely
cover the copper tube for protection against atmospheric corrosion and provide excellent
heat transfer. An integral subcooler with a liquid sightglass on the inlet provides sufficient
subcooling to effectively eliminate the possibility of liquid flashing and increase unit
efficiency.

Control Center
The ALS screw chiller is shipped with all operating and safety controls and motor starting
equipment factory wired, operationally tested, and ready for service. All controls are
centrally located in a NEMA type 3R weatherproof, hinged control center, with key locked
doors to prevent unauthorized entry. Panel access doors include steel rod door retainers to
prevent flapping while open. Dead front panels protect service personnel from accidental
contact with line voltage components.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 73

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.

Delta-delta reduced inrush start

Delta-delta start works on the same principle as part winding start. It works in conjunction
with the unit's standard compressor sequence start timers to reduce current inrush by
providing 2-step starting of each compressor.

Low ambient head pressure control

Optional SpeedTrol head pressure control permits unit operation down to 0°F (-18°C)
ambient. However, since the actual minimum ambient can be dependent on wind conditions,
wind baffles are also available.

Disconnect switch
A factory installed nonfused disconnect switch is available on all units. The disconnect
switch is properly sized for model and voltage required.

Phone modem
An optional 9600 baud modem interface is available which allows the operator to control (or
monitor) all chiller operations from a remote location through standard phone lines.

Ice storage
The unit can be equipped with control logic to handle the low temperatures associated with
thermal storage applications. In addition to the change within the controller, the unit is
supplied with additional evaporator insulation to prevent any loss of efficiency through
condensation.

Copper fin condenser coils

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

Baked epoxy condenser fin coating

Electro Fin flexible dip and bake epoxy protective coating with 3000+ hour salt spray
resistance (ASTM B117-90) is available on the condenser coils and coil frames. Provides
protection against adverse environments such as salt air as found on sea coast applications
and many chemical environments. Consult factory for complete specification and chemical
resistance chart.

Protective coil or base guards

Optional factory installed wire mesh coil guards and base guards provide protection for
ground level installations.

74 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

 Wind baffles
The presence of wind will have an adverse affect on any air-cooled chiller. Wind across a
condenser coil will not allow a chiller to operate as efficiently, or possibly not even start, at
low ambient temperatures. Wind in effect raises the minimum ambient temperature in which
the chiller can operate. The ALS air-cooled chillers are available with field installed wind
baffles which allow the chiller to operate effectively down to the ambient temperature for
which it was designed.

Hail guards
Hail can have a damaging effect on the performance of an air-cooled condenser. As the
finned area is flattened against the coil, restricting airflow, the efficiency of the coil is
reduced. Hail guards are available for field installation to completely cover the coil finned
area. The hail guards will also protect the coil from wind.

Totally enclosed fan cooled condenser fan motors

TEFC condenser fan motors are available as an option in lieu of the standard open drip-proof
(ODP) fan motors when required by the application. When low ambient SpeedTrol is
ordered the number 1 condenser fan motor on each refrigerant circuit will still be open drip-
proof.

Unit amps sensor package

A unit amp sensor package can be provided which will display the percent of total unit amp
draw at any given time.

115 volt convenience outlet

A 10.0 amp 115 volt convenience outlet mounted inside the control panel is available as an
option on all units.

Ground fault protection

A ground fault interrupter can be provided to shut down the entire unit if a ground fault
condition is sensed.

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.

Vibration isolators
Spring vibration isolators are available for field installation under the unit base frame on
sound sensitive applications.
