FIGURE 2

YCWM-B Cooling Mode

Low pressure liquid refrigerant enters the cooler (Evaporator)
and is evaporated and superheated by the heat energy
absorbed from the chilled water passing through the cooler
shell. Low pressure vapour enters the compressor where
pressure and superheat are increased. Heat is rejected by the
water cooled condenser. The fully condensed and subcooled
liquid refrigerant then enters the expansion valve where
pressure reduction and further cooling takes place before
returning to the cooler.

YCWM-B HEAT PUMP

FIGURE 3

YCWM-B Heat Pump

The YCWM-B unit can operate as a water to water heat pump by
reversing the cycle on the water circuits using three way valves.
Pressostatic two way valves are available as an option for
remote location in the and condenser water pipework.
Note: This type of operation is possible only if the condensers
are supplied with well water or disposable water. The system
cannot be used if a cooling tower is used.

SELECTION GUIDE
DATA REQUIRED
To select a YORK YCWM-B chiller the following information is
required:
1. Design cooling capacity.
2. Chilled water entering and leaving temperatures.
3. Condenser water entering and leaving temperature.
4. Chilled water flow (m/h) if one of the temperatures in (2) is
unknown.
5. Condenser water flow (m/h) if one of the temperatures in (3)
is unknown.
Determine the capacity from:
Cooling Capacity (kW) = Range (C) x chilled water (m/h)
0.86

5. The fouling factor required in the condenser introduces a

capacity factor of 0.955 and a kW input factor of 1.068.
The fouling factor required in the cooler introduces a capacity
factor of 0.964 and a kW input factor of 0.985 (see table 2).
Net Cooling Capacity
Net kW input

= 115.6 x 0.955 x 0.964 = 106.4 kW

= 32 x 1.068 x 0.985 = 33.7 kW

6 The heat rejection at the required fouling conditions will be

106.4 + (33.7 x 0.95*) = 138.4 kW
*5% radiation heat loss through compressor and motor
housing.
7. The chilled water flow required to satisfy the capacity
corrected for the fouling conditions
Actual capacity (kW) x 0.86 = 106.4 x 0.86 = 18.3 m/h
Range (C)
5.0

Determine the heat rejection from:

Heat Rejection (kW) = Range (C) x condenser water (m/h)
0.86
YCWM-B SAMPLE SELECTION
Select a YCWM-B chiller to cool 18 m/h of water from 11C to
6C. The condenser leaving water temperature is 33C with a
6C range.
The required fouling factor is 0.176m C/kW for cooler and
condenser.
Find the required unit size, cooling capacity, kW input and the
cooler and condenser pressure drop.

8 The evaporator water pressure drop = 20kPa (see Figure 5).

9. The condenser water flow:
Heat rejection (kW) x 0.86 = 138.4 x 0.86 = 19.8 m/h
Range (C)
6
10.Determine the condenser water pressure drop = 44kPA. (see
Figure 5).

ELECTRICAL DATA
The following connections are required:

Supply cables should enter the unit via a hole provided at the
bottom of the panel.

One 400-3-50Hz supply plus earth for each power circuit.

Control interlocks if required.
The power connections and interlocks can be made to a single
terminal strip.
