Frequently Asked Questions

Our chiller portfolio spans from 50 kW scroll chillers for small commercial applications up to 7,000 kW centrifugal units for large-scale data centers and industrial process cooling. We offer water-cooled, air-cooled, and evaporatively-cooled configurations with both fixed-speed and VFD compressor options.

We offer systems factory-configured for R-290 (propane, GWP 3), R-744 (CO2, GWP 1), R-32 (GWP 675), and R-1234ze (GWP 7). Our transition roadmap ensures every product line has at least one sub-150 GWP option by 2027, fully aligned with EU F-Gas phase-down schedules and EPA SNAP listings.

Standard modular chillers ship within 8 weeks from order confirmation. Custom-engineered systems with specific configurations typically require 12-16 weeks. Our modular design approach allows pre-fabrication of common sub-assemblies, reducing overall project timelines by 4-6 weeks compared to traditional fully-custom builds.

Every McQuay Climate unit ships with BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU as standard protocols. BACnet IP, LonWorks, and native REST API connectivity are available as factory options. Our cloud platform provides real-time dashboards, fault code alerts, and historical performance trending accessible from any web browser or mobile device.

It depends on your load profile. Inverter-driven (VFD) compressors deliver 30-50% energy savings in applications with variable loads such as office buildings and data centers, where the system operates at part load 70-80% of the time. However, for constant-load applications like industrial process cooling or ice production, fixed-speed compressors offer lower capital cost, simpler maintenance, and proven reliability with no practical efficiency penalty at design load. Our engineers model your specific annual load profile to recommend the option with the lowest 15-year lifecycle cost.
