What causes high discharge pressure in a McQuay Chiller and how to fix it?
- TtroytylerAug 22, 2025
High discharge pressure in your McQuay Chiller can stem from several issues: dirty condenser coils (clean them), a fan not operating (check the fan motor, contactor, contactor coil, and fan pressure switch, repairing or replacing any defective parts), high ambient conditions (check against design conditions), high return water temperature (disable a compressor on each), an overcharge of refrigerant (remove the excessive amount), non-condensables (remove them), or a discharge valve being partially closed (back seat valve).
