SPECIFICATION
The YORK YR Millennium Rotary Screw Chiller is completely factory packaged
including evaporator, condenser, subcooler, oil separator, compressor, motor,
lubrication system, OptiView graphic control centre, and all interconnecting unit
piping and wiring. The unit contains the full charge of R134a and oil.
Exterior surfaces are coated with baked-on enamel powder paint (Caribbean Blue).
Compressor
The rotary twin screw compressor has been engineered and constructed to meet
the exacting requirements of the industrial refrigeration market. It utilizes
state-of-the-art technology to provide the most reliable and energy efficient
compressor available at all operating conditions. The compressor operates at 2975
rpm. The compressor housing is made of cast iron, precision machined to provide
minimal clearance for the rotors. The compressor housing has a design working
pressure of 16.2 bar and is hydro-tested to 37.5 barg.

The rotors are manufactured from forged steel and use asymmetric profiles. The
compressor incorporates a complete anti-friction bearing design for reduced power
and increased reliability. Four separate cylindrical roller bearings handle radial
loads. Two 4-point angular contact ball bearings handle axial loads. Together they
maintain accurate rotor positioning at all pressure ratios thereby minimizing blow-by
and maintaining efficiency.
A non return valve is installed in the compressor discharge housing to prevent
compressor rotor backspin due to system refrigerant pressure gradients during
shutdown.
The open-drive compressor has a double shaft seal and consists of a bellows type,
spring-loaded precision lapped ceramic ring, PTFE static seal and a precision
lapped ceramic rotating collar. The entire shaft seal cavity is at low pressure, being
vented to the oil drain from the compressor. Combining low pressure with direct oil
cooling provides long seal life.

Capacity Control
Capacity control is achieved by use of a
slide valve which provides fully
modulating control from 100% to 25% of
full load, depending upon unit selection.
The slide valve is actuated by oil pressure
controlled by external solenoid valves via
the OptiView graphic control centre.
Compressor Motor
The suction cooled direct drive
semi-hermetic motor is constructed to
YORK design specifications and operates
at 2975 rpm. The motor is provided with a
D-flange, factory mounted to a cast iron
adaptor mounted on the compressor. This
unique design allows the motor to be
rigidly coupled to the compressor to
provide factory alignment of motor and
compressor shafts.
Solid State Starter
The unit has a reduced voltage solid state
starter that controls and maintains a
constant current flow to the motor during
startup. Power and control wiring is
factory supplied. Available for 200-600
volts, the starter enclosure has a hinged
access door with lock and key. A fused
disconnect switch is supplied to accept
the single power supply to the unit.
Lubrication
The main oil reservoir is located in the oil
separator. The compressor also has an
oil reservoir located at the rotor bearings
to provide lubrication during startup,
coastdown and in the event of a power
failure.
During
operation,
system
pressure differential provides proper oil
flow without the need of an oil pump. This
minimizes system energy consumption.
Oil Separator/Reservoir
The combined oil separator/reservoir with
a design working pressure of 16.2 bar
shall be the high efficiency, augmented
gas impingement type to maximise oil
extraction without fragile media to break
down.
Oil Eductor
The oil eductor automatically removes oil
which may have migrated to the cooler
and returns it to the compressor.
Oil Filter
The unit is fitted with an replaceable
cartridge oil filter.

100

Oil Heater
A 500 watt (115 volt - 1 phase - 50Hz)
immersion oil heater is located in the oil
separator
reservoir,
temperature
actuated to effectively remove refrigerant
from the oil.

Heat Exchangers
Shells - Evaporator and condenser shells
are fabricated from rolled carbon steel
plates with fusion welded seams. Carbon
steel tube sheets, drilled and reamed to
accommodate the tubes, are welded to
the end of each shell. Intermediate tube
supports are fabricated of 13mm carbon
steel plates. The refrigerant side of each
shell is designed for 16.2 bar design
working pressure, tested at 37.5 barg.
Tubes - Tubes are state-of-the-art, high
efficiency, internally enhanced type to
provide optimum performance. Each tube
is roller expanded into the tube sheets
providing a leak-proof seal, and are
individually replaceable. Tubes are 19mm
OD copper alloy.
Evaporator - Evaporator is a shell and
tube, flooded type heat exchanger. A
distributor trough provides uniform
distribution of refrigerant over the entire
shell length to yield optimum heat
transfer. A liquid level sight glass is
conveniently located on the side of the
shell to aid in determining proper
refrigerant charge. A refrigerant charging
valve is provided.
Condenser - The condenser is a shell
and tube type, with a discharge gas baffle
to
prevent
direct
high
velocity
impingement on the tubes. This baffle is
also used to distribute the refrigerant gas
flow properly for most efficient heat
transfer. The subcooler is located in the
bottom of the condenser section providing
highly
effective
liquid
refrigerant
subcooling to improve cycle efficiency.
Compact Water Boxes - Removable
water boxes are fabricated of steel. The
design working pressure is 10 bar (20 bar
available as an option). Integral steel
water baffles are located and welded
within the water box to provide required
pass arrangements. Stub-out water
nozzle connections with victaulic grooves
are welded to the water boxes. These
nozzle connections are suitable for
Victaulic couplings, welding or flanges,
are capped for shipment. Plugged drain
and vent connections are provided in
each evaporator water box.
Refrigerant Flow Control
The chiller is equipped with a refrigerant
metering device consisting of a fixed
orifice and modulating valve controlled via
the chiller OptiView panel. This control
ensures proper refrigerant flow to the
evaporator over a wide range of operating
conditions, including thermal storage
applications with chilled water reset.
Valve operation is programmable and can
be customised for a specific application
via the OptiView Control Centre.

100

Refrigerant Isolation
The condenser shell serves as a
refrigerant receiver to store the system
charge during servicing. Manually
operated isolation valves are located at
the inlet and outlet of the condenser.
Valves are also provided to facilitate
removal of the refrigerant from the system
should that be necessary.

OptiView Graphic Control Centre

(GCC)
Each unit is supplied complete with a
factory wired and mounted YORK
OptiView Graphic Control Centre. The
panel is configured with a 26 cm diagonal
colour liquid crystal display (LCD)
surrounded by "soft" keys used to select
required screens. The LCD displays
animated graphics of the chiller, chiller
sub-systems and system parameters.
The operator may also view a graphical
representation of the historical operation
of the chiller. The control panel is
compatible with the YORK solid state
starter.

The panel text is available in English,

French, German, Spanish and Italian
languages. Data can be displayed in
Metric or English units. Security access is
provided to prevent unauthorised
changes to setpoints.
When power is applied a visual
representation of the chiller (HOME
screen) is displayed detailing: entering
and leaving chilled and condenser liquid
temperatures, motor run (LED), % Full
Load Amps, operating hours and input
power.
