McQuay water cooled water chiller

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

control and a serial output board are available as option for

a supervisor connection.

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

Accessories and options

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