GENERAL
The 80-160 Ton (273 - 560 kW) QCC3 Condensing Unit Models are shipped complete
from the factory ready for field installation.
The unit is pressure-tested, evacuated and given a nitrogen holding charge and includes
an initial oil charge (R-410A refrigerant supplied by others). After assembly, a operational
test is performed to assure that each control device operates correctly.
The unit structure is heavy-gauge, galvanized steel. This galvanized steel is coated with
baked-on powder paint, which, when subjected to ASTM B117 1000 hour, salt spray test-
ing, yields a minimum ASTM 1654 rating of “6”. Units are designed in accordance with
NFPA 70 (National Electric Code), ASHRAE/ANSI 15 Safety code for mechanical refrig-
eration, and are cETL listed. All units are produced at an ISO 9000-registered facility.
COMPRESSORS
The chiller has suction-gas cooled, hermetic, scroll compressors. The compressors in-
corporate a compliant scroll design in both the axial and radial direction. All rotating parts
of the compressors are statically and dynamically balanced. A large internal volume and
oil reservoir provides greater liquid tolerance. Compressor crankcase heaters are also
included for extra protection against liquid migration.
CONDENSER
Coils – Fin and tube condenser coils of seamless, internally-enhanced, corrosion resis-
tant copper tubes are arranged in staggered rows, mechanically expanded into aluminum
fins. Integral subcooling is included. The design working pressure of the coil is 650 psig
(45 barg).
Fans – The condenser fans are composed of corrosion-resistant aluminum hub and glass-
fiber-reinforced polypropylene composite blades molded into a low noise airfoil section.
The are designed for maximum efficiency and are statically and dynamically balanced for
vibration free operation. They are directly driven by independent motors, and positioned
for vertical air discharge. The fan guards are constructed of heavy-gauge, rust-resistant,
coated steel. All blades are statically and dynamically balanced for vibration-free opera-
tion.
Motors – The fan motors are Totally Enclosed Air-Over, squirrel-cage type, current pro-
tected. They feature ball bearings that are double-sealed and permanently lubricated.
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Two independent refrigerant circuits will be furnished on each unit. All unit piping will be
copper, with brazed joints. The liquid line will include a field connection shutoff valve with
charging port located on each condenser circuit. Suction line connections are provided on
each refrigeration circuit. A filter drier and sight glass are shipped loose for field installation
on each refrigerant circuit.
All expansion valves, liquid line solenoid valves, refrigerant, and refrigerant field piping
are supplied by others.

Accessories and Options
All options are factory installed unless otherwise noted.
COMPRESSOR AND PIPING OPTIONS:
Chicago Code Relief Valves – Unit will be provided with relief valves to meet Chicago
code requirements.
Hot Gas By-Pass – Permits continuous, stable operation at capacities below the mini-
mum step of compressor by unloading to as low as 5% capacity (depending on both the
unit and operating conditions). This is accomplished by introducing an artificial load. Hot
gas by-pass is available installed on refrigerant system #1 or on both systems of two cir-
cuited units..
Service Isolation Valve – Service suction and discharge (ball-type) isolation valves are
added to unit per system. This option also includes a system high pressure relief valve in
compliance with ASHRAE 15.
CONDENSER AND CABINET OPTIONS:
Condenser coil protection against corrosive environments is available by choosing any of
the following options. For additional application recommendations, refer to FORM 150.12-
ES1.
Pre-Coated Fin Condenser Coils – The condenser coils are constructed of black epoxy-
coated aluminum fins. This can provide corrosion resistance comparable to copper-fin
coils in typical seashore locations. Either these or the post-coated coils (below), are rec-
ommended for units being installed at the seashore or where salt spray may hit the unit.
Post-Coated Dipped Condenser Coils – The unit is built with dipped and cured con-
denser coils. This is another choice for seashore and other corrosive applications (with
the exception of strong alkalies, oxidizers and wet bromine, chlorine and fluorine in con-
centrations greater than 100 ppm).
Copper-Fin Condenser Coils – The unit constructed with condenser coils which have
copper fins. (This is not recommended for units in areas where they may be exposed to
acid rain).
Enclosure Panels (Unit) – Tamperproof Enclosure Panels prevent unauthorized access
to units. Enclosure Panels can provide an aesthetically pleasing alternative to expensive
fencing. Additionally, for proper head pressure control, Quantech recommends the use of
Condenser Louvered Panels for winter applications where wind gusts may exceed five
mph (eight km/h).
The following types of enclosure panels are available:
Wire Panels (Full Unit) – Consists of welded-wiremesh guards mounted on the exterior
of the unit. Prevents unauthorized access, yet provides free air flow.
Wire/Louvered Panels – Consists of welded-wire-mesh panels on the bottom part of unit
and louvered panels on the condenser section of the unit.
