Introduction
The YORK® YMC² chiller offers a full package of features for total owner satisfaction. Key
benefits include efficiency, sustainability, quiet operation, and reliability.
EFFICIENCY
YORK single-stage compressors are designed to reduce energy costs. High strength alu-
minum-alloy compressor impellers feature backward-curved vanes for high efficiency. Dy-
namically-controlled mechanical flow regulation with motor speed allows the compressor
to unload smoothly from maximum to minimum load for excellent part-load performance
in air conditioning applications.
The YMC² chiller's heat exchangers offer the latest technology such as falling-film, in
addition to the latest technology in heat transfer surface design to give you maximum ef-
ficiency, reduced refrigerant charge, and a compact design. The largest unit has only a 14’
(4.3m) heat exchanger length.
The YORK OptiView™ Control Center, furnished as standard on each chiller, provides the
ultimate in efficiency, monitoring, data recording, chiller protection and operating ease.
The OptiView Control Center is a factory-mounted, wired and tested state-of-the-art mi-
croprocessor-based control system for HFC-134a centrifugal chillers.
Setpoints can be changed from a remote location via 0-10VDC, 4-20mA, contact clo-
sures or through serial communications. The adjustable remote reset range [up to 20°F
(11.1°C)] provides flexible, efficient use of remote signal depending on reset needs. The
serial data interface to the Building Automation System (BAS) is through the optional fac-
tory mounted E-Link installed inside the Control Center.

Introduction (Cont'd)
Sustainability
To address the direct effect, the YMC² chiller first reduces the chances for refrigerant leaks
by dramatically reducing the number of connections, down 57% compared to traditional
chiller designs. Then we have employed falling-film evaporator technology that reduces
the overall refrigerant charge by up to 30% and improves the efficiency of the evapora-
tor. This can help qualify your project for up to 2 more LEED points using the advanced
refrigerant-management credit. Finally, by eliminating the lubrication system, the YMC²
chiller lets you avoid all the environmental issues of handling and disposing refrigerant
saturated oil. Add it all up and you will see why you can count on the YMC² chiller to yield
a positive environmental result.
The YMC² chiller employs one the most environmentally friendly refrigerant available,
HFC-134a, with no Ozone Depletion Potential and no phase-out date per the Montreal
Protocol.
Utilizing HFC-134a will achieve better results than the soon-to-be phased-out HCFC-123
when using the US Green Building Council's (USGBC) Template EAc4 (Enhanced Refrig-
erant Management) to calculate the refrigerant impact of your project.
The heat exchangers utilized on the YMC² chiller introduce a proprietary falling-film evap-
orator design that helps not only operate more efficiently, but also allows us to reduce our
refrigerant charges up to 30% beyond conventional chiller designs.
To ensure maximum efficiency, the YMC² chiller utilizes a hermetically sealed, permanent-
magnet motor. The compressor is directly driven by the motor, eliminating any losses from
using gears for power transmission. Active magnetic bearings are used to support the mo-
tor shaft allowing this chiller series to be completely OIL FREE, with no oil management
system required.
OPTISOUND™ Control
YMC² chillers are equipped with the YORK OptiSound Control as standard. OptiSound
Control is a patented combination of centrifugal-chiller hardware and software that re-
The OptiSound Control
duces operational sound levels, expands the chiller operating range, and improves chiller continously monitors
performance. The OptiSound Control continuously monitors the characteristics of the the characteristics of
compressor-discharge gas and optimizes the diffuser spacing to minimize gas-flow dis- the compressor
ruptions from the impeller. It can also reduce part-load sound levels below the full-load discharge gas
level.

Introduction (Cont'd)
RELIABILITY
Designed for the most reliable chillers we have ever made, the YMC² YORK Magnetic
Bearing Compressor will achieve a much better performance because it is based on a
successful line of efficient YORK single-stage compressors. With fewer moving parts and
straightforward design, YORK single-stage compressors have proven durability in numer-
ous applications, especially applications where minimal downtime is a critical concern.
YMC² chillers are designed to keep installation costs low. Where installation access is
not a problem, the unit can be shipped completely packaged including the unit-mounted
OptiSpeed VSD, requiring minimal piping and wiring to complete the installation.
The majority of chiller components on the YMC² chillers have been time tested on the
tens of thousands of YK chillers operating globally. The YMC² chiller employs the most
advanced drive available - an active magnetic-bearing drive - to levitate the driveshaft.
The result is frictionless operation and fewer moving parts subject to breakdown, which is
why we have used this magnetic drive in our mission-critical chillers since 1998.
The YMC² chiller incorporates service design principles that are consistent with our Model
YK Centrifugal Chillers. We made sure that this chiller, and specifically the driveline, was
field serviceable by a single source supplier, who also happens to be the industry’s largest
service force.

Sustainability Focus
The YORK YMC² chiller employs one the most environmentally friendly refrigerants avail-
able today, HFC-134a, with no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and no phase out date
per the Montreal Protocol.
Ozone is a very small part of the atmosphere, but its presence is nevertheless vital to
human well-being. Most ozone resides in the upper part of the atmosphere. This region,
called the stratosphere, is more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the Earth’s surface.
There, about 90% of atmospheric ozone is contained in the “ozone layer,” which shields
us from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. However, it was discovered in the mid-
1970s that some human-produced chemicals could destroy ozone and deplete the ozone
layer. The resulting increase in ultraviolet radiation at the Earth’s surface may increase the
incidences of skin cancer and eye cataracts. Following the discovery of this environmental
issue, researchers focused on gaining a better understanding of this threat to the ozone
layer.

Observations of the ozone layer showed that depletion was indeed occurring. The most
severe and most surprising ozone loss was discovered to be recurring in springtime over
Antarctica. The loss in this region is commonly called the “ozone hole” because the ozone
depletion is so large and localized. A thinning of the ozone layer also has been observed
over other regions of the globe, such as the Arctic and northern middle latitudes. The work
of many scientists throughout the world has provided a basis for building a broad and
solid scientific understanding of the ozone depletion process. With this understanding,
we know that ozone depletion is occurring and why. And, most important, we know that
if ozone-depleting gases were to continue to accumulate in the atmosphere, the result
would be more depletion of the ozone layer. In response to the prospect of increasing
ozone depletion, the governments of the world crafted the 1987 United Nations Montreal
Protocol as a global means to address this global issue. As a result of the broad compli-
ance with the Protocol and its Amendments and Adjustments and, of great significance,
industry’s development of “ozone friendly” substitutes for the now-controlled chemicals,
the total global accumulation of ozone-depleting gases has slowed and begun to de-
crease. This has reduced the risk of further ozone depletion.
The Montreal Protocol (MP) addressed CFCs and HCFCs with phase out schedule for all
member parties of the MP based on the ODP characteristics. So this affects the first two
categories of refrigerants listed in the table. Manufacturers in developed nations are in
the final processes of converting from HCFCs to HFCs in accordance with the Montreal
Protocol treaty. Markets in developing countries are already seeing a transition away from
HCFCs ahead of legislative requirements.
LD18601
HCFCs were used as a transitional refrigerant as they were a “Lesser Evil” and allowed
the HVAC industry to quickly transition away from CFCs while maintaining energy efficien-
cy. The fact remains that they destroy the ozone layer and are legislated to be completely
phased out.
JOHNSON CONTROLS 9
FORM 160.84-EG1 (516)
The typical usage of the refrigerant, the phase-out status by the Montreal Protocol and the
global usage of refrigerant in tons is shown in the table on page 8.
The chart below shows the growing use of HFC-134a in centrifugal chillers from 1995 up
to 2010 and the forecast until the phase-out of HCFCs.
LD18602
Another main environmental topic is Global Warming potential (GWP), and when we talk
about global warming we’re primarily talking about smoke stacks and tail pipes. 85% of
GWP is attributed to CO2 emissions, while only about 2% is related to HFCs.
However, when we talk about the direct impact our YORK YMC² Centrifugal Chiller has
on the environment we can make strides forward, like ensuring leak tight designs are cre-
ated, and manufacturers are working to reduce refrigerant charges as much as possible.
10 JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 160.84-EG1 (516)
98% of the global warming potential of a centrifugal chiller is from the indirect effect or
the greenhouse gases produced to generate the electricity to run the chiller. The YORK
YMC² centrifugal chiller and its superior efficiency levels dramatically reduces the indirect
GWP. Two percent of the GWP is from the direct effect or release of the refrigerant gases
into the atmosphere.
LD18603
Minimizing the total climatic impact (direct and indirect GWP) requires a comprehensive
approach to refrigerant choice.

Ratings
The performance of the YMC² chiller has been certified to the Air Conditioning, Heating
and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) as complying with the certification sections of the latest
issue of AHRI Standard 550/590. Under this Certification Program, chillers are regularly
tested in strict compliance with this Standard. This provides an independent, third-party
verification of chiller performance.
Each chiller is custom-matched to meet the individual building load and energy require-
ments. A variety of standard heat exchangers and pass arrangements are available to
provide the best possible match.
It is not practical to provide tabulated performance for each combination, as the energy
requirements at both full and part-load vary significantly with each heat exchanger and
pass arrangement. Computerized ratings are available through each Johnson Controls
sales office. Each rating can be tailored to a specific job requirement, and is part of the
AHRI Certification Program.
The YMC² chillers have been designed to take full advantage of colder cooling tower
water temperatures, which are naturally available during most operating hours. Consider-
able energy savings are available by letting tower water temperature drop, rather than
artificially holding it above 75°F (24°C), especially at low load, as some chillers require.
OFF-DESIGN PERFORMANCE
Since the vast majority of its operating hours are spent at off-design conditions, a chiller
should be chosen not only to meet the full load design, but also for its ability to perform ef-
ficiently at lower loads and lower tower water temperatures. It is not uncommon for chillers
with the same full load efficiency to have an operating cost difference of over 10% due to
differences in off-design (part-load) efficiencies.

Part-load information can be easily and accurately generated by a computer. And be-
cause it is so important to an owner’s operating budget, this information has now been
standardized within the AHRI Certification Program in the form of an Integrated Partload
Value (IPLV), and Non-Standard Partload Value (NPLV).
The current IPLV/NPLV formula from AHRI Standard 550/590 more closely tracks actual
chiller operations, and provides a more accurate indication of a chiller's performance than
the previous IPLV/APLV formula. A more detailed analysis must take into account actual
building load profiles, and local weather data. Part-load performance data should be ob-
tained for each job using its own design criteria.

Equipment Overview
YORK YMC² Centrifugal Liquid Chillers are completely factory-packaged including the
evaporator, condenser, compressor, motor, VSD, control center, and all interconnecting
unit piping and wiring.
The initial charge of refrigerant is supplied for each chiller. Actual shipping procedures for
the chiller will depend on a number of project-specific details.
The services of a Johnson Controls factory-trained, field service representative are in-
curred to supervise or perform the final leak testing, charging, the initial start-up, and
concurrent operator instructions.
COMPRESSOR
CAPACITY CONTROL
Capacity control will be achieved by the combined use of variable speed control and
mechanical flow regulation to provide fully modulating control from maximum to minimum
load. For normal air conditioning applications, the chiller can adjust capacity from 100%
to 15% of design. For each condition the capacity control devices will be automatically
adjusted to maintain a constant leaving chilled liquid temperature at optimized efficiency,
based on information fed by sensors located throughout the chiller.
All mechanical actuators are external electrical devices which automatically and precisely
position components.

YMC² chillers are equipped with the YORK OptiSound Control as standard. The YORK
OptiSound Control is a patented combination of centrifugal-chiller hardware and software
that reduces operational sound levels, expands the chiller operating range, and improves
chiller performance. The OptiSound Control feature continuously monitors the charac-
teristics of the compressor-discharge gas and optimizes the diffuser spacing to minimize
gas-flow disruptions from the impeller. This innovative technology improves operating
sound levels of the chiller and can reduce part-load sound levels below the full-load level.
In addition, the OptiSound Control provides the benefit of an expanded operating range.
It improves performance and reliability by minimizing diffuser-gas stall at off-design op-
eration, particularly at conditions of very low load combined with little or no condenser-
water relief. The elimination of the gas-stall condition can also result in improved chiller
efficiency at off design conditions.
OptiSpeed VSD
A VSD is factory-packaged and mounted on the YMC² chiller. It is designed to vary the
compressor motor speed by controlling the frequency and voltage of the electrical power
to the motor. The capacity control logic shall automatically adjust motor speed and com-
pressor diffuser geometry for maximum part-load efficiency by analyzing information fed
to it by sensors located throughout the chiller. See OptiView Control Center on page 21
for additional information.
HEAT EXCHANGERS
Shells
Evaporator and condenser shells are fabricated from rolled carbon steel plates with fu-
sion welded seams or carbon steel pipe. Carbon steel tube sheets, drilled and reamed to
accommodate the tubes, are welded to the end of each shell. Intermediate tube supports
are fabricated from carbon steel plates, drilled and reamed to eliminate sharp edges. The
refrigerant side of each shell is designed, tested, and stamped in accordance with ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII – Division I, or other pressure vessel code
as appropriate.
Tubes
Heat exchanger tubes are copper alloy high-efficiency, externally and internally enhanced
type to provide optimum performance. Utilizing the “skip-fin” tube design provides a
smooth internal and external surface at each intermediate tube support. This provides
extra wall thickness (up to twice as thick) and non work-hardened copper at the support
location, extending the life of the heat exchangers. Each tube is roller-expanded into the
tube sheets providing a leak-proof seal, and is individually replaceable.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a shell and tube, hybrid falling-film type heat exchanger. It contains a
balance of flooded and falling-film technology to optimize efficiency, minimize refrigerant
charge, and maintain reliable control. A specifically designed spray distributor provides
uniform distribution of refrigerant over the entire shell length to yield optimum heat trans-
fer. A suction baffle is located above the tube bundle to prevent liquid refrigerant carryover
JOHNSON CONTROLS 17
FORM 160.84-EG1 (516)
Condenser
The condenser is a shell and tube type, with a discharge gas baffle to prevent direct high
velocity impingement on the tubes. The baffle is also used to distribute the refrigerant
gas flow properly for the most efficient heat transfer. An integral sub-cooler is located at
the bottom of the condenser shell providing highly effective liquid refrigerant subcooling
to provide the highest cycle efficiency. A 1-1/2" (38 mm) liquid level sight glass is conve-
niently located on the side of the shell to aid in determining proper refrigerant charge. The
condenser contains dual refrigerant relief valves.
Water Boxes
The removable water boxes are fabricated of steel. Integral steel water baffles are located
and welded within the water box to provide the required pass arrangements. Stub-out
water nozzle connections welded to the water boxes are suitable for ANSI/AWWA C-606
couplings, welding or flanged, and are capped for protection during shipment. Plugged
3/4" (19 mm) drain and vent connections are provided in each water box.
Factory-installed isolation valves in the compressor discharge line and refrigerant liquid
line allow isolation and storage of the refrigerant charge in the chiller condenser.
Thermal type water flow switches are factory mounted in the chilled and condenser water
nozzles, and are factory wired to the OptiView control panel. These solid state flow sen-
sors have a small internal heating element. They use the cooling effect of the flowing fluid
to sense when an adequate flow rate has been established. The sealed sensor probe is
316 stainless steel, which is suited to very high working pressures.
Refrigerant flow to the evaporator is controlled by the YORK variable orifice control sys-
tem. Liquid refrigerant level is continuously monitored to provide optimum subcooler,
condenser and evaporator performance. The variable orifice electronically adjusts to all
Real-World operating conditions, providing the most efficient and reliable operation of
refrigerant flow control.

ISOLATION MOUNTING
The unit is provided with four vibration isolation mounts of nominal 1" operating height.
The pads have a neoprene pad to contact the foundation, bonded to a steel plate. The
vibration isolation pad assemblies mount under steel plates welded to the chiller tube
sheets.
REFRIGERANT CONTAINMENT
The standard unit has been designed as a complete and compact factory-packaged chill-
er. As such, it has minimum joints from which refrigerant can leak. The entire assembly
has been thoroughly leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. The YMC² chiller includes
service valves conveniently located to facilitate transfer of refrigerant to a remote refriger-
ant storage/recycling system. Condenser isolation valves allow storage of the charge in
the condenser.

operating parameters at once. In addition, the operator may view a graphical represen-
tation of the historical operation of the chiller as well as the present operation. For the
novice user, the locations of various chiller parameters are clearly and intuitively marked.
Instructions for specific operations are provided on many of the screens. To prevent unau-

The Control Center continually monitors the system operation and records the cause of
any shutdowns (Safety, Cycling or Normal). This information is recorded in memory and
is preserved even through a power failure condition. The user may recall it for viewing at
any time. During operation, the user is continually advised of the operating conditions by
various status and warning messages. In addition, it may be configured to notify the user
of certain conditions via alarms. The Control Center expands the capabilities of remote
control and communications. By providing a common networking protocol through the
Building Automation System (BAS), YORK Chillers not only work well individually, but
also as a team. This new protocol allows increased remote control of the chiller, as well as

An input disconnect device connects the AC line to an input filter and then to the AC-to-DC
three-phase PWM rectifier. The disconnect device can be a three-phase rotary disconnect
switch (standard), or an electronic circuit breaker (optional). The inductors in the input fil-
ter limit the amount of fault current into the VSD; however, for the additional protection of
the PWM rectifier’s IGBT transistors, semiconductor fuses are provided between the input
disconnect device and input filter. The three-phase PWM rectifier uses IGBT transistors,
mounted on a liquid-cooled heat sink and controlled at a high frequency, to convert AC
line voltage into a tightly regulated DC voltage. Additionally, the PWM rectifier shapes the
line current into an almost-sinusoidal waveform, allowing the VSD to produce low levels
of harmonic distortion while helping the building comply with the requirements of the IEEE
STD 519-1992, “IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control
in Electrical Power Systems”. The PWM rectifier also contains a proprietary precharge
circuit, which keeps the inrush current into the VSD at a minimal value, well below the
nominal.
The DC Link filter section of the drive consists of one basic component, a bank of filter
capacitors. The capaci- tors provide an energy reservoir for use by the DC to AC inverter
section of the OptiSpeed Drive. The capacitors are contained in the OptiSpeed Power
Pole, as are the “bleeder” resistors, which provides a discharge path for the stored energy
in the capacitors.
The DC to AC PWM inverter section of the OptiSpeed serves to convert the DC voltage
to AC voltage at the proper magnitude and frequency as commanded by the OptiSpeed
Logic board. The inverter section consists of fast switching IGBT transistors mounted
on a liquid cooled heat sink. The OptiSpeed Power Pole is composed of the inverter
IGBT modules (with heat sink), the rectifier IGBT modules (with heat sink), the DC link
filter capacitor, the “bleeder” resistors, the laminated interconnecting buss bar, and the
OptiSpeed Gate Driver board. The OptiSpeed Gate Driver board provides the turn-on
and turn-off commands to the rectifier’s and inverter’s transistors. The OptiSpeed Logic
board determines when the turn-on, and turn-off commands should occur. Additionally,
the OptiSpeed logic board monitors the status of the OptiSpeed VSD system, generates
all OptiSpeed system faults (including the ground fault), and communicates with OptiView
control panel.

Other sensors and boards are used to provide safe operation of the OptiSpeed drive.
The IGBT transistor modules have thermistors mounted on them that provide information
to the OptiSpeed logic board. These sensors, as well as additional thermistors monitor-
ing the internal ambient temperature, protect the OptiSpeed from overtemperature con-
ditions. A voltage sensor is used to ensure that the DC link filter capacitors are properly
charged. Three input and three output current transformers protect the drive and motor
from over current conditions.

Application Data
The following discussion is a user’s guide in the application and installation of YMC² chill-
ers to ensure the reliable, trouble-free life for which this equipment was designed. While
this guide is directed towards normal, water-chilling applications, a Johnson Controls
sales engineer can provide complete recommendations on other types of applications.
LOCATION
YMC² chillers are virtually vibration free and may generally be located at any level in a
building where the construction will support the total system operating weight.
The unit site must be a floor, mounting pad or foundation which is level within 1/4" (6.4
mm) and capable of supporting the operating weight of the unit.
Sufficient clearance to permit normal service and maintenance work should be provided
all around and above the unit. Additional space should be provided at one end of the unit
to permit cleaning of evaporator and condenser tubes as required. A doorway or other
properly located opening may be used.
The chiller should be installed in an indoor location where temperatures range from 40°F
to 104°F (4.4°C to 40°C). The dew point temperature in the equipment room must be be-
low the entering condenser water temperature to prevent condensing water vapor inside
of the VSD. Applications using cooling sources other than evaporative or closed loop air
exchange methods need to request a factory-supplied temperature control valve to pre-
vent condensation inside the VSD. Other areas susceptible to water vapor condensate
are outside of the condenser shell and condenser water boxes. Example applications
include cooling condenser water using chilled water, wells, river, or other low temperature
fluids.
For outdoor applications, please contact the Large Tonnage Application Team.
WATER CIRCUITS
Flow Rate – For normal water chilling duty, evaporator and condenser flow rates are per-
mitted at water velocity levels in the heat exchangers tubes of between 3 ft/sec (3.3 for
condensers) and 12 ft/sec (0.91 m/s and 3.66 m/s). Two-pass units are also limited to 45 ft
H20 (134 kPa) water pressure drop. The three pass limit is 67.5 ft H20 (201 kPa). Variable
flow in the condenser is not recommended, as it generally raises the energy consumption
of the system by keeping the condenser pressure high in the chiller. Additionally, the rate
of fouling in the condenser will increase at lower water velocities associated with variable
flow, raising system maintenance costs. Cooling towers typically have narrow ranges of
operation with respect to flow rates, and will be more effective with full design flow. Ref.
Table 1 for flow limits at design conditions.
There is increasing interest to use variable primary flow (VPF) systems in large chilled
water plants. VPF systems can offer lower installation and operating costs in many cases,
but do require more sophisticated control and flow monitoring. YMC² chillers will operate
successfully in VPF systems. With a minimum allowable evaporator tube velocity of 1-1/2
fps (0.5 m/s) for standard tubes at part-load rating conditions, YMC² chillers will accom-
modate the wide variation in flow required by many chilled water VPF applications.

FORM 160.84-EG1 (516)
Temperature Ranges – For normal water chilling duty, leaving chilled water tempera-
tures may be selected between 38°F (3.3°C) [36°F (2.2°C) with Smart Freeze enabled]
and 70°F (21.1°C) to obtain temperature deltas between entering chilled and leaving
chilled water temperature of 3°F up to 30°F (1.7°C and 16.7°C).
Water Quality – The practical and economical application of liquid chillers requires that
the quality of the water supply for the condenser and evaporator be analyzed by a water
treatment specialist. Water quality may affect the performance of any chiller through cor-
rosion, deposition of heat-resistant scale, sedimentation or organic growth. These will
degrade chiller performance and increase operating and maintenance costs. Normally,
performance may be maintained by corrective water treatment and periodic cleaning of
tubes. If water conditions exist which cannot be corrected by proper water treatment, it
may be necessary to provide a larger allowance for fouling, and/or to specify special ma-
terials of construction.
General Piping – All chilled water and condenser water piping should be designed and
installed in accordance with accepted piping practice. Chilled water and condenser wa-
ter pumps should be located to discharge through the chiller to assure positive pressure
and flow through the unit. Piping should include offsets to provide flexibility and should
be arranged to prevent drainage of water from the evaporator and condenser when the
pumps are shut off. Piping should be adequately supported and braced independently of
the chiller to avoid the imposition of strain on chiller components. Hangers must allow for
alignment of the pipe. Isolators in the piping and in the hangers are highly desirable in
achieving sound and vibration control.
Connections – The standard chiller is designed for 150 psig (10.3 barg) design working
pressure in both the chilled water and condenser water circuits. The connections (water
nozzles) to these circuits are furnished with grooves to ANSI/AWWA C-606 Standard for
grooved and shouldered joints. Piping should be arranged for ease of disassembly at the
unit for tube cleaning. All water piping should be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and debris
before final connections are made to the chiller.
Chilled Water – A water strainer of maximum 1/8" (3.2 mm) perforated holes must be
field-installed in the chilled water inlet line as close as possible to the chiller. If located
close enough to the chiller, the chilled water pump may be protected by the same strainer.
The strainer is important to protect the chiller from debris or objects which could block flow
through individual heat exchanger tubes. A reduction in flow through tubes could seriously
impair the chiller performance or even result in tube freeze-up. A thermal-type flow switch
is factory installed in the evaporator nozzle and connected to the OptiView panel, which
assures adequate chilled water flow during operation.

The minimum entering condenser water temperature for other full and part-load condi-
tions is provided by the following equation:
where:
ECWT = entering condensing water temperature
LCHWT = leaving chilled water temperature
MULTIPLE UNITS
Selection – Many applications require multiple units to meet the total capacity require-
ments as well as to provide flexibility and some degree of protection against equipment
shutdown. There are several common unit arrangements for this type of application. The
YMC² chiller has been designed to be readily adapted to the requirements of these vari-
ous arrangements.
Parallel Arrangement – Chillers may be applied in multiples with chilled and condenser
water circuits connected in parallel between the units. The figure below represents a par-
allel arrangement with two chillers. Parallel chiller arrangements may consist of equally or
unequally sized units. When multiple units are in operation, they will load and unload at
equal percentages of design full load for the chiller.

Depending on the number of units and operating characteristics of the units, loading and
unloading schemes should be designed to optimize the overall efficiency of the chiller
plant. It is recommended to use an evaporator bypass piping arrangement to bypass fluid
around evaporator of any unit which has cycled off at reduced load conditions. It is also
recommended to alternate the chiller cycling order to equalize chiller starts and run hours.

Series Counter Flow Arrangement - Chillers may be applied in pairs with chilled water
circuits connected in series and with the condenser water in series counter flow. All of the
chilled water flows through both evaporators. All of the condenser water flows through
both condensers. The water ranges are split, which allows a lower temperature difference
or "head" on each chiller, than multiple units in parallel. For equal chillers, the machine
at the higher temperature level will typically provide slightly more than half the capacity.
The compressor on each chiller is often matched, such that the high temperature machine
can operate at the low temperature conditions when one unit is cycled off at partload (as
compared to series-parallel chillers which are typically not identical).
LD18372
Series counter flow application can provide a significant building energy savings for large
capacity plants which have chilled and condenser water temperature ranges greater than
typical AHRI requirements.

FORM 160.84-EG1 (516)
Each chiller is equipped with dual pressure relief valves on the condenser and two dual
relief valves on the evaporator, or two single relief valves on the evaporator if the optional
refrigerant isolation valves are ordered. The dual relief valves on the condenser are re-
dundant and allow changing of either valve while the unit is fully charged. The purpose
of the relief valves is to quickly relieve excess pressure of the refrigerant charge to the
atmosphere, as a safety precaution in the event of an emergency such as a fire. They are
set to relieve at an internal pressure as noted on the pressure vessel data plate, and are
provided in accordance with ASHRAE 15 safety code and ASME or applicable pressure
vessel code.
Sized to the requirements of applicable codes, a vent line must run from the relief device
to the outside of the building. This refrigerant relief piping must include a cleanable, verti-
cal leg dirt trap to catch vent-stack condensation. Vent piping must be arranged to avoid
imposing a strain on the relief connection and should include one flexible connection.
A YMC² chiller is not a source of objectionable sound and vibration in normal air condition-
ing applications. Optional neoprene isolation mounts are available with each unit to re-
duce vibration transmission. Optional level-adjusting spring isolator assemblies designed
for 1" (25 mm) static deflection are also available for more isolation.
YMC² chiller sound pressure level ratings will be furnished on request. Control of sound
and vibration transmission must be taken into account in the equipment room construction
as well as in the selection and installation of the equipment.
THERMAL INSULATION
VENTILATION
The ASHRAE Standard 15 Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration requires that all
machinery rooms be vented to the outdoors utilizing mechanical ventilation by one or
more fans. This standard, plus National Fire Protection Association Standard 90A, state,
local and any other related codes should be reviewed for specific requirements. Since
the YMC² chiller motor is hermetically sealed, no additional ventilation is needed due to
motor heat.

Unit input conductor size must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (N.E.C.),
or other applicable codes, for the unit full load amperes (FLA). Please refer to the sub-
mittal drawings for the FLA and Minimum Current Ampacity (MCA) specific to each ap-
plication. Flexible conduit should be used for the last several feet to the chiller in order to
provide vibration isolation. Table 2 lists the allowable variation in voltage supplied to the
chiller. The unit nameplate is stamped with the unit voltage, and frequency.
Starters – A separate starter is not required since the YMC² chiller is equipped with a fac-
tory installed unit mounted VSD.
Controls – No field control wiring is required since the OptiSpeed VSD is factory installed
as standard. The chiller including VSD is completely controlled by the control panel.
