Overview

The McQuay Enfinity™ (R-410A) and Standard (R-22) Horizontal Water Source Heat Pumps (Models CRH, CRW Unit Sizes 007 – 070 / R-22 Refrigerant and Models CCH, CCW Unit Sizes 007 – 060 / R-410A Refrigerant) are designed for indoor installation and provide heating and cooling for commercial applications. This document outlines the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for these units.

Function Description:

These units are water source heat pumps designed to provide efficient heating and cooling. They operate by transferring heat to or from a water loop, utilizing a refrigeration cycle. The units are available in two refrigerant types: R-22 for CRH/CRW models and R-410A for CCH/CCW models. The R-410A models offer higher operating pressure and refrigeration capacity compared to R-22. The units are designed to be suspended from the ceiling, with options for straight or end discharge airflow.

Control Systems:

The heat pumps can be equipped with either a Mark IV/AC control unit or a MicroTech 2000 Water Source Heat Pump Unit Controller.

  • Mark IV/AC Control Units: These are microprocessor-based systems with built-in features such as random start, compressor time delay, night setback, load shed, shutdown, condensate overflow protection, defrost cycle, brownout, and LED/fault outputs for diagnostics. They are designed for operation with 24-volt mercury bulb or microelectronic wall thermostats. The control board manages fan, compressor, and reversing valve operation based on thermostat signals. It includes a lockout circuit to stop compressor operation if safety switches (high pressure, low pressure, low temperature) open or if the condensate sensor detects a filled drain pan. The Mark IV/AC system also supports remote reset of lockouts and a fault retry feature to minimize nuisance trips. Load shed and shutdown operations can be initiated via "grounded" signals to specific terminals. Pump restart functionality is provided, passing a voltage signal to a pump restart relay board when the compressor is on, allowing for loop circulation pump control.

  • MicroTech 2000 WSHP Unit Controller: This is a microprocessor-based controller designed to communicate over a LONWORKS® (LonTalk® or LonMark® 3.3) communications network, integrating with centralized building automation systems. It monitors and controls unit operation, water and air temperatures, and communicates fault conditions. Features include unit-mounted return air, discharge air, and leaving water temperature sensors, with options for wall-mounted room sensors, tenant setpoint adjustment, and override buttons. The controller provides an on-board status LED for diagnostics, indicating operating mode (Occupied, Occupied Load Shed, Unoccupied, Tenant Override, Override Load Shed) and alarm conditions (flashing).

  • BACnet® WSHP Unit Controller: This is a specialized Alerton BACnet unit controller that communicates over a BACnet MS/TP communications network to an Alerton BACtalk building automation system (BAS). Each controller has a unique MAC address set via DIP switches. It controls the compressor, fan, and reversing valve to maintain space temperature within setpoints. Operational data, commands, equipment status, water and air temperatures, and fault conditions are available on the BACtalk network. Features include start-up checks, customizable fan operation (continuous or cycling), proportional-integral control for cooling and heating run-time, short cycle protection (180-second start delay, 2-minute on, 5-minute off times), random start, occupied/unoccupied modes with configurable setpoints, after-hours override (half-hour increments up to 9.5 hours), reversing valve delay (60 seconds after heating, 10 seconds before compressor start), load shed, and brownout protection (suspends operation if voltage drops below 82% for 10 seconds, resets above 90%).

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Refrigerant Types: R-22 (CRH, CRW models) and R-410A (CCH, CCW models).
  • Capacities: Nominal capacities range from 7,000 to 70,000 BTU/hr (007 to 070 unit sizes).
  • Voltage Options: Multiple voltage options including 115/60/1, 208-230/60/1, 208-230/60/3, 277-265/60/1, 460/60/3, 575/60/3, and 50 Hz options (230/50/1, 380/50/3 for CCH&CCW only).
  • Operating Voltage Range: Specified minimum and maximum voltages for each option (e.g., 115/60/1: 104-127V; 460/60/3: 414-506V). Three-phase system unbalance should not exceed 2%.
  • Refrigerant 410A: Requires polyolester (POE) oil. Must be charged as a liquid. Requires recovery equipment designed for R-410A (up to 800 PSIG high side, 250 PSIG low side, 400 PSIG recovery cylinders).
  • Fan Motors: Multi-speed, PSC type with integral mounting brackets and thermal overload protection. Fan speed can be changed by interchanging wires on the motor body or terminal strip.
  • Piping: Two-pipe reverse return configuration recommended for self-balancing. Supply and return runouts should use short lengths of high-pressure flexible hose for sound attenuation. Shutoff valves are required at each conditioner. Condensate piping must be trapped and pitched at least 1/4" per foot.
  • Air Discharge: Units can be configured for straight or end discharge. Conversion involves rotating the fan discharge panel and motor.
  • Ductwork: Should conform to ASHRAE standards. Flexible connectors, transition pieces, and internally lined branch ducts are recommended. Return air ductwork can connect to a standard filter rack for side or bottom filter removal.
  • Operating Limits (Standard Range Units):
    • Ambient Air: Cooling: 50-100°F (10-38°C); Heating: 50-85°F (10-29°C).
    • Entering Air (dw/wb): Cooling: 80/67°F (27/19°C); Heating: 70°F (21°C).
    • Entering Water: Cooling: 55-110°F (13-43°C); Heating: 55-90°F (13-32°C).
