INTRODUCTION
GENERAL

6. Do not charge the unit with refrigerant.

This instruction describes the installation of a MODEL

YK MaxE Liquid Chilling Unit. This unit is shipped
as a single factory assembled, piped, wired package,
requiring a minimum of eld labor to make chilled water
connections, condenser water connections, refrigerant
atmospheric relief connections, and electrical power
con nec tions. (Refrigerant and oil charges shipped
separately unless optional condensor isolation valves
are ordered.)

7. Do not attempt to start the system.

Chillers can also be shipped dismantled when required by

rigging conditions, but generally it is more economical
to enlarge access openings to accommodate the factory
assembled unit. Chillers shipped dismantled MUST
be eld assembled under the supervision of a YORK
representative, but otherwise installation will be as
described in this instruction.
FIELD ASSEMBLED UNITS ONLY

Use Form 160.73-N3 in conjunction with this installation

instruction. This instruction will be furnished with all
units that are to be eld assembled. Extra copies may
be ordered from the York Publication Distribution
Center.
The services of a YORK representative will be furnished
to check the installation, supervise the initial start-up
and operation of all chillers installed within Continental
United States.

8. Do not run hot water (110F / 43C max) or steam

through the evaporator or condenser at any time.
SHIPMENT

The chiller may be ordered and shipped in any of the

following forms:
Form 1 Factory Assembled Unit, complete with
motor, refrigerant and oil charges.
1. The motor/compressor assembly mounted,
with all necessary interconnecting piping
assembled. OptiView Control Center is
mounted on the unit. Complete unit factory
leak tested, evacuated and charged with R134A.
An optional Solid State Starter or Variable
Speed Drive can be factory mounted and
wired.
2. Miscellaneous material Four (4)
vi bra tion isolation pads (or optional
spring isolators and brackets).
Form 2 Factory Assembled Unit, complete with
motor (refrigerant and oil charges shipped
separately).

The YORK Warranty may be voided

if the following restrictions are not
adhered to:

1. The motor/compressor assembly mounted,

with all necessary interconnecting piping
assembled. OptiView Control Center is
mounted on the unit. Complete unit factory
leak tested, evacuated and charged with
holding charge of nitrogen.

1. No valves or connections should be opened under

any circumstances because such action will result
in loss of the factory nitrogen charge.

An optional Solid State Starter or Variable

Speed Drive can be factory mounted and
wired.

2. Do not dismantle or open the chiller for any

reason except under the supervision of a YORK
representative.

2. Miscellaneous material Four (4)

vibration isolation pads (or optional spring
isolators and brackets).

3. When units are shipped dismantled, notify the

nearest YORK ofce in ample time for a YORK
rep re sen ta tive to supervise rigging the unit
to its op er at ing position and the as sem bly of
components.

Form 3 Driveline Separate From Shells Shipped

as two major assemblies. Unit rst factory

parts of each unit will be marked to prevent mixing of
assemblies. (Piping and Wiring Drawings to be furnished
by YORK.)
INSPECTION DAMAGE SHORTAGE

The unit shipment should be checked on arrival to see

that all major pieces, boxes and crates are received. Each
unit should be checked on the trailer or rail car when
received, before unloading, for any visible signs of

RIGGING (See Fig. 8)

The complete standard chiller is shipped without skids.

(When optional skids are used it may be necessary to
remove the skids so riggers skates can be used under the
unit end sheets to reduce overall height.)
Each unit has four (4) lifting holes (two in each end) in
the end sheets which should be used to lift the unit.
Care should be taken at all times during rigging and
handling of the chiller to avoid damage to the unit and
its external connections. Lift only using holes shown
in Fig. 8.

Do not lift the unit with slings around

motor/com pres sor assembly or by
means of eyebolts in the tapped holes
of the compressor motor assembly. Do
not turn a unit on its side for rigging.
Do not rig vertically.

INSTALLATION
RIGGING UNIT TO FINAL LOCATION

Rig the unit to its nal location on the oor or mounting

pad, lift the unit (or shell assembly) by means of an
overhead lift and lower the unit to its mounting position.
(If optional shipping skids are used, remove them before
lowering the chiller to its mounting position.)

At this point units shipped dismantled

should be assembled under the supervision of a YORK representative.

If evaporator is to be eld insulated, the insulation should

be applied to the evaporator before the unit is placed in
position while the unit is in the lift position. Be sure unit
is properly supported. (See INSULATION, page 26.)
LOCATING AND INSTALLING ISOLATOR PADS
(REFER TO FIG. 9 OR 10)

The isolator pad mounts are to be located as shown in

Fig 9 or 10.
After the isolator pads have been placed into position on
the oor, lower the chiller onto the pads. When the unit
is in place, remove the rigging equipment and check that
the unit is level. The unit should be level within 1/4"
(6 mm) from one end to the other end and from front
to the rear. If the chiller is not level within the amount
specied, lift it and place shims between the isolation
pad and the chiller tube sheets. (Shims furnished by
the installer.) Lower unit again and recheck to see that
it is level.
CHECKING THE ISOLATION PAD DEFLECTION

All isolation pads should be checked for the proper

deection while checking to see if the unit is level.
Each pad should be deected approximately 0.10 inchs
(2.5 mm) to 0.20 inchs (5 mm). If an isolation pad is
under-deected, shims should be placed between the
unit tube sheet and the top of the pad to equally deect
all pads.
LEVELING THE UNIT

The longitudinal alignment of the unit should be checked

by placing a level on the top center of the evaporator
shell under the compressor/motor assembly. Transverse
alignment should be checked by placing a level on top
of the shell end sheets.
22

INSTALLING OPTIONAL SPRING ISOLATORS

(REFER TO FIG. 11 OR 12)

When ordered, spring type isolator assemblies will be

furnished with the unit. The 4 assemblies are identical
and can be placed at any of the 4 corners of the unit.
While the unit is still suspended by the rigging, the
isolators should be bolted to the unit by inserting the
cap screw(s) through the hole(s) in the mounting bracket
into the tapped hole in the top of the isolator leveling
bolt(s). Then the unit can be lowered onto the oor.
The leveling bolts should now be rotated one (1) turn at
a time, in sequence, until the unit end sheets are clear
of the oor by the dimension shown in Fig. 11 or 12
and the unit is level. Check that the unit is level, both
longitudinally and transversely (see Leveling the Unit).
If the leveling bolts are not long enough to level unit
due to an uneven or sloping oor or foundation, steel
shims (grouted, if necessary) must be added beneath the
isolator assemblies as necessary.
After the unit is leveled, wedge and shim under each
corner to solidly support the unit in this position while
piping connections are being made, pipe hangers adjusted
and connections checked for alignment. Then the unit is
lled with water and checked for leaks. The leveling bolts
should now be nally adjusted until the wedges and shims
can be removed. The unit should now be in correct level
position, clear of the oor or foundation and without any
effect from the weight of the piping.
PIPING CONNECTIONS

After the unit is leveled (and wedged in place for optional

spring isolators) the piping connections may be made;
chilled water, condenser water and refrigerant relief. The
piping should be arranged with offsets for exibility, and
adequately supported and braced independently of the
unit to avoid strain on the unit and vibration transmission.
Hangers must allow for alignment of pipe. Isolators (by
others) in the piping and hangers are highly desirable,
and may be required by specifications, in order to
effectively utilize the vibration isolation characteristics
of the vibration isolation mounts of the unit.
Check for piping alignment Upon completion of
piping, a connection in each line as close to the unit as
possible should be opened, by removing the ange bolts
or coupling and checked for piping alignment. If any of
the bolts are bound in their holes, or if the connection
YORK INTERNATIONAL

FORM 160.73-N1(1102)

springs are out of alignment, the misalignment must

be corrected by properly supporting the piping or by
applying heat to anneal the pipe.

If the piping is annealed to relieve

stress, the inside of the pipe must be
cleaned of scale before it is finally
bolted in place.
EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER WATER PIPING

The evaporator and condenser liquid heads of chiller

have nozzles which are grooved, suitable for welding
150 PSIG DWP anges or the use of Victaulic couplings.
Factory mounted anges are optional.
The nozzles and water pass arrangements are furnished
in accordance with the job requirements (see Product
Drawings) furnished with the job. Standard units are
designed for 150 PSIG DWP on the water side. If job
requirements are for greater than 150 PSIG DWP, check
the unit data plate before applying pressure to evaporator
or condenser to determine if the chiller has provisions
for the required DWP.
Inlet and outlet connections are identied by labels
placed adjacent to each nozzle.
Chilled Water

Foreign objects which could lodge in, or block ow

through, the evaporator and condenser tubes must be
kept out of the water circuit. All water piping must be
cleaned or ushed before being connected to the chiller
pumps, or other equipment.

Permanent strainers (supplied by others) are required

in both the evaporator and condenser water circuits to
protect the chiller as well as the pumps, tower spray
nozzles, chilled water coils and controls, etc. The
strainer must be installed in the entering chilled water
line, directly upstream of the chiller.
Water piping circuits should be arranged so that the
pumps discharge through the chiller, and should be
controlled as necessary to maintain essentially constant
chilled and condenser water ows through the unit at
all load conditions.
If pumps discharge through the chiller, the strainer may
be located upstream from pumps to protect both pump
and chiller. (Piping between strainer, pump and chiller
must be very carefully cleaned before start-up.) If pumps
are remotely installed from chiller, strainers should be
located directly upstream of the chiller.
Condenser Water Circuit

For proper operation of the unit, condenser refrigerant

pressure must be maintained above evaporator pressure.
If operating conditions will fulll this requirement, no
attempt should be made to control condenser water
temperature by means of automatic valves, cycling of
the cooling tower fan or other means, since chillers are
designed to function satisfactorily and efciently when
condenser water is allowed to seek its own temperature
level at reduced loads and off-peak seasons of the year.
However, if entering condenser water temperature can
go below the required minimum, (refer to 160.73-O1)
condenser water temperature must be maintained equal
to or slightly higher than the required minimum. Refer
to Fig. 13 for typical water piping schematic.

and carefully check the evaporator and condenser water

heads and piping for leaks. Repair leaks as necessary.
Before initial operation of the unit both water circuits
should be thoroughly vented of all air at the high
points.
REFRIGERANT RELIEF PIPING

Each unit is equipped with pressure relief valves located

on the condenser and on the evaporator for the purpose
of quickly relieving excess pressure of the refrigerant
charge to the atmosphere as a safety precaution in case
of an emergency, such as re.

Drain and vent valves (by others) should be installed

in the connections provided in the evaporator and
condenser liquid heads. These connections may be
piped to drain if desired.

Refrigerant relief vent piping (by others), from the relief

valves to the outside of the building, is required by code
in most areas and should be installed on all chillers. The
vent line should be sized in accordance with the ANSI/
ASHRAE-15, or local code. The vent line must include
a dirt trap in the vertical leg to intercept and permit clean
out and to trap any vent stack condensation. The piping
MUST be arranged to avoid strain on the relief valves,
using a exible connection, if necessary.

Checking Piping Circuits and Venting Air

UNIT PIPING

After the water piping is completed, but before any water

box insulation is applied. Tighten and torque to maintain
between 30 and 60 ft. lbs. (41 and 81 Nm) the nuts on
the liquid head anges. Gasket shrinkage and handling
during transit cause nuts to loosen. If water pressure is
applied before tightening is done, the gaskets may be
damaged and have to be replaced. Fill the chilled and
condenser water circuits, operate the pumps manually

Compressor lubricant piping and system external piping

are factory installed on all units shipped assembled. On
units shipped dismantled, the following piping should
be completed under the supervision of the YORK
