from the refrigerant vapor, causing it to condense. The
condenser water is supplied to the chiller from an ex-
ternal source, usually a cooling tower. The condensed
refrigerant drains from the condenser into the liquid
return line, where the variable orifice meters the flow
of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator to complete the
refrigerant circuit.
The major components of a chiller are selected to han-
dle the refrigerant, which would be evaporated at full
load design conditions. However, most systems will be
called upon to deliver full load capacity for only a rela-
tively small part of the time the unit is in operation.
CAPACITY CONTROL
The major components of a chiller are selected for full
load capacities, therefore capacity must be controlled
to maintain a constant chilled liquid temperature leav-
ing the evaporator. Prerotation vanes (PRV), located at
the entrance to the compressor impeller, compensate
for variation in load (Refer to Figure 2 on Page 8).
The position of these vanes is automatically controlled
through a lever arm attached to an electric motor lo-
cated outside the compressor housing. The automatic
adjustment of the vane position in effect provides the
performance of many different compressors to match
various load conditions from full load with vanes wide
open to minimum load with vanes completely closed.

CHILLER OPERATION
The unit capacity will vary to maintain the leaving
CHILLED LIQUID TEM PERATURE setpoint by the
Pre-rotation Vanes which are modulated by an actua-
tor under the control of the M icroprocessor Board. The
vane control routine employs proportional plus deriva-
tive (rate) control action. A drop in chilled liquid tem-
perature will cause the actuator to close the Prerotation
Vanes to decrease chiller capacity. W hen the chilled
liquid temperature rises, the actuator will open the Pre-
rotation Vanes to increase the capacity of the chiller.
However, the current draw (amperes) by the compres-
sor motor is also limited to FLA setpoint by the micro-
processor.
If the load continues to decrease, after the Prerotation
Vanes are entirely closed, the chiller will be shut down
by the Leaving Chilled Liquid Low Temperature
Control.
CONDENSER WATER TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
The YORK chiller is designed to use less power by tak-
ing advantage of lower than design temperatures that
are naturally produced by cooling towers throughout
the operating year. Exact control of condenser water
such as a cooling tower bypass, is not necessary for
most installations. The minimum entering condenser
water temperature for full and part load conditions is
specified in the chiller engineering guide.
where:
% Load
Min. ECWT = LCWT C RANGE + 5F + 12 ( 100 )
% Load
Min. ECWT = LCWT C RANGE + 2.8C + 6.6 ( 100 )
ECW T = Entering Condensing Water Temperature
LCW T = Leaving Chilled Water Temperature
C Range = Condensing water temperature range at the
given load condition.
JOHNSON CONTROLS
SECTION 2 - SYSTEM OPERATING PROCEDURES
At start-up, the entering condenser water temperature
may be as much as 25F (14C) colder than the stand-
by return chilled water temperature. Cooling tower fan
cycling will normally provide adequate control of the
entering condenser water temperature on most instal-
lations.
Heat recovery chillers and chillers using optional head
pressure control would use a signal provided by the
microprocessor to control main condenser bundle heat
rejection or pressure, respectively.
OPERATING LOG SHEET
A permanent daily record of system operating condi-
tions (temperatures and pressures) recorded at regular
intervals throughout each 24 hour operating period
should be kept.
2
An optional status printer is available for this purpose
or Figure 8 on Page 14 shows a log sheet used by
Johnson Controls Personnel for recording test data on
chiller systems. It is available from the factory in pads
of 50 sheets each under Form 160.44-F7 and may be
obtained through the nearest Johnson Controls office.
Automatic data logging is possible by connecting the
optional printer and programming the DATA LOG-
GER function.
An accurate record of readings serves as a valuable ref-
erence for operating the system. Readings taken when
a system is newly installed will establish normal condi-
tions with which to compare later readings.
For example, an increase in condenser approach tem-
perature (condenser temperature minus leaving con-
denser water temperature) may be an indication of
dirty condenser tubes.
OPERATING INSPECTIONS
By following a regular inspection using the display
readings of the M icrocomputer Control Center, and
maintenance procedure, the operator will avoid serious
operating difficulty. The following list of inspections
and procedures should be used as a guide.
Daily
1. Check OptiView Control Center displays.
2. If the compressor is in operation, check the bear-
ing oil pressure on the SYSTEM Screen. Also
check the oil level in the oil reservoir. Operating
oil level should be operating range of oil indicator.

the compressor or the particular trouble continues to
hinder the performance of the unit, please call the near-
est Johnson Controls District Office. Failure to report
constant troubles could damage the unit and increase
the cost of repairs.
STOPPING THE SYSTEM
The Optiview Control Center can be programmed to
start and stop automatically (maximum, once each day)
whenever desired. Refer to the Opt iview Control
Cent er Operation and Maintenance (Form 160. 54-
O1). To stop the chiller, proceed as follows:
JOHNSON CONTROLS
SECTION 2 - SYSTEM OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Push the soft shutdown key on the homescreen on
the OptiView panel or rapid stop with the COM -
PRESSOR STOP/RESET switch. The compressor
ue to run for coastdown period. The oil pump will
then stop automatically.
2. Stop the chilled water pump (if not wired into the
M icrocomputer Control Center, in which case it
will shut off automatically simultaneously with the
oil pump.) (The actual water pump contact opera-
tion is dependent upon the position of M icroboard
jumper J54.)
3. Open the switch to the cooling tower fan motors,
if used.
4. The compressor sump oil heater is energized when
the unit is stopped. 2
PROLONGED SHUTDOWN
If the chiller is to be shut down for an extended period
of time (for example, over the winter season), the fol-
lowing paragraphs outline the procedure to be followed.
1. Test all system joints for refrigerant leaks with a
leak detector. If any leaks are found, they should
for a long period of time.
During long idle periods, the tightness of the sys-
tem should be checked periodically.
2. If freezing temperatures are encountered while
the system is idle, carefully drain the cooling wa-
ter from the cooling tower, condenser, condenser
pump, and the chilled water system-chilled water
pump and coils.
Open the drains on the evaporator and condenser
liquid heads to assure complete drainage. (If a
Variable Speed Drive, drain its cooling system.
If Solid State Starter equipped drain liquid from
starter cooling loop.)
3. If freezing temperatures are encountered for peri-
ods longer than a few days, the refrigerant should
be recovered to containers to prevent leakage from
O-ring joints.
4. On the SETUP Screen, disable the clock. This
conserves the battery.
5. Open the main disconnect switches to the com-
pressor motor, condenser water pump and the
chilled water pump. Open the 115 volt circuit to
the Control Center.

SECTION 3 - SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The YORK M odel YK Centrifugal Liquid Chiller is
completely factory-packaged including evaporator,
condenser, compressor, motor, lubrication system,
OptiView Control Center, and all interconnecting unit
piping and wiring.
COMPRESSOR
The compressor is a single-stage centrifugal type pow-
ered by an open-drive electric motor.
The rotor assembly consists of a heat-treated alloy steel
drive shaft and impeller shaft with a cast aluminum,
fully shrouded impeller. The impeller is designed for
balanced thrust and is dynamically balanced and over-
speed tested. The inserted type journal and thrust bear-
ings are fabricated of aluminum alloy. Single helical
gears with crowned teeth are designed so that more
than one tooth is in contact at all times. Gears are inte-
grally assembled in the compressor rotor support and
are film lubricated. Each gear is individually mounted
in its own journal and thrust bearings.
The open-drive compressor shaft seal is a double bel-
lows cartridge style with ceramic internal and atmo-
spheric seal faces. The seal is oil-flooded at all times
and is pressure-lubricated during operation.
CAPACITY CONTROL
Prerotation vanes (PRV) modulate chiller capacity
from 100% to as low as 15% of design for normal air
conditioning applications. Operation is by an external,
electric PRV actuator which automatically controls the
vane position to maintain a constant leaving chilled liq-
uid temperature.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The chiller lubrication system consists of the oil pump,
oil filter, oil cooler and all interconnecting oil piping
and passages. There are main points within the com-
pressor which must be supplied with forced lubrication
as follows:
1. Compressor Drive Shaft (Low Speed)
A. Shaft seal.
B. Front and rear journal bearings one on each
side of driving gear.
JOHNSON CONTROLS
C. Low speed thrust bearing (forward and re-
verse).
2. Compressor Driven Shaft (High Speed)
A. Forward and reverse high speed thrust
bearing.
B. Two journal bearings.
3. Speed Increasing Gears
A. M eshing surfaces of drive and pinion gear
teeth.
To provide the required amount of oil under the neces-
sary pressure to properly lubricate these parts, a motor
driven submersible oil pump is located in a remote oil
sump.
Upon pressing of the COM PRESSOR START switch
on the Control Center, the oil pump is immediately en-
3
ergized. After a 50 second pre-lube period, the com-
pressor motor will start. The oil pump will continue to
run during the entire operation of the compressor, and
for 150seconds during compressor coastdown.
The submerged oil pump takes suction from the sur-
rounding oil and discharges it to the oil cooler where
heat is rejected. The oil flows from the oil cooler to
the oil filter. The oil leaves the filter and flows to the
emergency oil reservoir where it is distributed to the
compressor bearings. The oil lubricates the compressor
rotating components and is returned to the oil sump.
There is an emergency oil reservoir located at the high-
est point in the lubrication system internally in the com-
pressor. It provides an oil supply to the various bear-
ings and gears in the event of a system shutdown due
to power failure. The reservoir, located on the top of
the compressor, allows the oil to be distributed through
the passages by gravity flow, thus providing necessary
lubrication during the compressor coastdown.
OIL PUMP
For normal operation, the oil pump should operate at
all times during chiller operation.
On shutdown of the system for any reason, the oil
pump operates and continues to run for 150 seconds.
The system cannot restart during that time interval.

OIL HEATER
During long idle periods, the oil in the compressor oil
reservoir tends to absorb as much refrigerant as it can
hold, depending upon the temperature of the oil and
the pressure in the reservoir. As the oil temperature is
lowered, the amount of refrigerant absorbed will be
increased. If the quantity of refrigerant in the oil be-
comes excessive, violent oil foaming will result as the
pressure within the system is lowered on starting. This
foaming is caused by refrigerant boiling out of the oil
as the pressure is lowered. If this foam reaches the oil
pump suction, the bearing oil pressure will fluctuate
with possible temporary loss of lubrication, causing the
oil pressure safety cutout to actuate and stop the sys-
tem. Refer to Opt iview Cont rolCenter Operat ion
andMaint enance (Form 160. 54-O1).
MOTOR DRIVELINE
The compressor motor is an open-drip-proof, squir-
rel cage, induction type constructed to YORK design
specifications. 60hertz motors operate at 3570rpm. 50
hertz motors operate at 2975rpm.
The open motor is provided with a D-flange, cast iron
adapter mounted to the compressor and supported by a
motor support.
M otor drive shaft is directly connected to the compres-
sor shaft with a flexible disc coupling. This coupling
has all metal construction with no wearing parts to as-
sure long life, and no lubrication requirements to pro-
vide low maintenance.
For units utilizing remote Electro-M echanical starters,
a terminal box is provided for field connected conduit.
M otor terminals are brought through the motor cas-
ing into the terminal box. Jumpers are furnished for
three-lead type of starting. M otor terminal lugs are not
furnished. Overload/over current transformers are fur-
nished with all units.
HEAT EXCHANGERS
Evaporator and condenser shells are fabricated from
rolled carbon steel plates with fusion welded seams.
Heat exchanger tubes are internally enhanced type.
The evaporator is a shell and tube type with customer
process fluid flowing inside the tubes and refriger-
ant removing heat on the shell side via evaporation.

ant charge, and maintain reliable control. A specifically
designed spray distributor provides uniform distribu-
tion of refrigerant over the entire length to yield opti-
mum heat transfer. The hybrid falling film evaporator
design has suction baffles around the sides and above
the falling film section to prevent liquid refrigerant car-
ryover into the compressor.
Evaporators codes M *thru Z*are flooded type, with a
liquid inlet distributor trough underneath the tube bun-
dle which provides uniform distribution of refrigerant
over the entire shell length to yield optimum heat trans-
fer. Flooded evaporator designs have a suction baffle
on M * shells with H9 compressors and an aluminum
mesh eliminator on K*- Z*shells with K compressors
located above the tube bundle to prevent liquid refrig-
erant carryover into the compressor.
A 1-1/2" (38 mm) liquid level sight glass is conve-
niently located on the side of the shell to aid in deter-
mining proper refrigerant charge. The evaporator shell
contains a dual refrigerant relief valve arrangement set 3
at 180psig (12.4barg) on H and K compressor models;
235 psig (16.2 barg) on P and Q compressor models;
or single-relief valve arrangement, if the chiller is sup-
plied with optional refrigerant isolation valves. A 1"
(25.4mm) refrigerant charging valve is provided. 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 most efficient heat
transfer. An optional cast steel condenser inlet diffuser
may be offered, on "M "and larger condensers, in lieu
of the baffle, to provide dynamic pressure recovery and
enhanced chiller efficiency. An integral sub-cooler is
located at the bottom of the condenser shell providing
highly effective liquid refrigerant subcooling to pro-
vide the highest cycle efficiency. The condenser con-
tains dual refrigerant relief valves set at 235psig (16.2
barg).
The removable waterboxes are fabricated of steel. The
design working pressure is 150 psig (10.3 barg) and
the boxes are tested at 225 psig (15.5 barg). Integral
steel water baffles are located and welded within the
waterbox to provide the required pass arrangements.
Stub-out water nozzle connections with ANSI/AW WA
C-606 grooves are welded to the waterboxes. These
nozzle connections are suitable for ANSI/AW WA
C-606 couplings, welding or flanges, and are capped
for shipment. Plugged 3/4" (19 mm) drain and vent
connections are provided in each waterbox.
21
SECTION 3 - SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
REFRIGERANT FLOW CONTROL
Refrigerant flow to the evaporator is controlled by a
variable orifice.
A level sensor senses the refrigerant level in the con-
denser and outputs an analog voltage to the M icroboard
that represents this level (0% = empty;100% = full).
Under program control, the M icroboard modulates a
variable orifice to control the condenser refrigerant
level to a programmed setpoint. Other setpoints affect
the control sensitivity and response. These setpoints
must be entered at chiller commissioning by a qualified
service technician. Only a qualified service technician
may modify these settings.
W hile the chiller is shut down, the orifice will be in the
fully open position causing the sensed level to be ap-
proximately 0%. W hen the chiller is started, after the
vane motor end switch (VM S) opens when entering
SYSTEM RUN, if actual level is less than the level
setpoint, a linearly increasing ramp is applied to the lev-
el setpoint. This ramp causes the setpoint to go from the
initial refrigerant level (approximately 0%) to the pro-
grammed setpoint over a programmable period of time.
If the actual level is greater than the setpoint when the
VM S opens, there is no pulldown period, it immedi-
ately begins to control to the programmed setpoint.
W hile the chiller is running, the refrigerant level is nor-
mally controlled to the level setpoint. However, any-
time the vanes fully close (VM S closes), normal level
control is terminated, any refrigerant level setpoint in
effect is cancelled and the outputs to the level control
will be constant open.
OPTIONAL SERVICE ISOLATION VALVES
If your chiller is equipped with optional service isola-
tion valves on the discharge and liquid line, these valves
must remain open during operation. These valves are
used for isolating the refrigerant charge in either the
evaporator or condenser to allow service access to the
system. A refrigerant pump-out unit will be required to
isolate the refrigerant.

OPTIONAL HOT GAS BYPASS
Hot gas bypass is optional and is used to eliminate
compressor surge during light load or high head op-
eration. The OptiView control panel will automatically
modulate the hot gas valve open and closed as required.
Adjustment of the hot gas control valve must be per-
formed by a qualified service technician following the

OPTIVIEW CONTROL CENTER
The OptiView Control Center is factory-mounted,
wired and tested. The electronic panel automatically
controls the operation of the unit in meeting system
cooling requirements while minimizing energy usage.
For detailed information on the Control Center, refer to
SECTION 2 - SYSTEM OPERATING PROCEDURES
of this manual.
SOLID STATE STARTER (OPTIONAL)
The Solid State Starter is a reduced voltage starter that
controls and maintains a constant current flow to the
motor during start-up. It is mounted on the chiller. Pow-
er and control wiring between the starter and chiller
are factory installed. The starter enclosure is NEM A-1
with a hinged access door with lock and key. Electrical
lugs for incoming power wiring are provided.
VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE (OPTIONAL)
A Variable Speed Drive can be factory packaged with
the chiller. It is designed to vary the compressor mo-
tor speed and prerotation vane position by controlling
the frequency and voltage of the electrical power to
the motor. Operational information is contained in the
Variabl e SpeedDrive Operation (Form 160. 00-O1).
The control logic automatically adjusts motor speed
and compressor prerotation vane position for maxi-
mum part load efficiency by analyzing information fed
to it by sensors located throughout the chiller.

OIL RETURN SYSTEM CHANGING THE DEHYDRATOR

The oil return system continuously maintains the
proper oil level in the compressor oil sump (Refer to
Figure 12 on Page 23).
High pressure condenser gas flows continuously
through the eductor inducing the low pressure, oil rich
liquid to flow from the evaporator, through the dehy-
drator to the compressor sump.
To change the dehydrator, use the following procedure:
1. Isolate the dehydrator at the stop valves.
2. Remove the dehydrator (Refer to Figure 12 on
Page 23).

THE OIL CHARGE
The nominal oil charge for all H, K, and P8-P9 YK
compressors is 20gallons, and for Q3-Q7YK compres-
sors is 10gallons of type YORK K or YORK H oil.
New YORK Refrigeration oil must be used in the cen-
trifugal compressor. Since oil absorbs moisture when
exposed to the atmosphere, it should be kept tightly
capped until used.
OIL CHARGING PROCEDURE
During operation the compressor oil level must be
maintained in the OPERATING RANGE identified
on the vertical oil level indicator. If the oil level falls
into the lower sight glass, it is necessary to add oil to
the compressor oil reservoir. The oil should be charged
into the oil reservoir using the YORK Oil Charging
Pump YORK Part No. 070-10654. To charge oil into
the oil reservoir, proceed as follows:
1. The unit must be shut down.
2. Immerse the suction connection of the oil charging
pump in a clean container of new oil and connect
the pump discharge connection to the oil charg-

system.
3. Open the oil charging valve and pump oil into the
system until oil level in the compressor oil reser-
voir is in the OVER FULL region of the oil level
indicator label. Close the charging valve and dis-
connect the hand oil pump.
4. As soon as oil charging is complete, close the
power supply to the starter to energize the oil
heater. This will keep the concentration of refrig-
erant in the oil to a minimum.
W hen the oil reservoir is initially charged with oil, the
oil pump should be started manually to fill the lines,
passages, oil cooler and oil filter. This will lower the
oil level in the reservoir. It may then be necessary to
add oil to bring the level back into the OPERATING
RANGE of the oil level indicator label.

CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Leak Testing During Operation
The refrigerant side of the system is carefully pressure
tested and evacuated at the factory.
After the system has been charged, the system should
be carefully leak tested with a R-134a compatible leak
detector to be sure all joints are tight.
If any leaks are indicated, they must be repaired im-
mediately. Usually, leaks can be stopped by tighten-
ing flare nuts or flange bolts. However, for any major
repair, the refrigerant charge must be removed. (Refer
to Handl ing Ref rigerantFor Dismant ling AndRepairs
on Page 30)
CONDUCTING R-22 PRESSURE TEST
W ith the R-134a charge removed and all known leaks
repaired, the system should be charged with a small
amount of R-22mixed with dry nitrogen so that a ha-
lide torch or electronic leak detector can be used to de-
tect any leaks too small to be found by the soap test.
EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION OF UNIT
FIGURE 14 - EVACUATION OF CHILLER
JOHNSON CONTROLS
To test with R-22, proceed as follows:
1. W ith no pressure in the system, charge R-22 gas
into the system through the charging valve to a
pressure of 2PSIG (14kPa).
2. Build up the system pressure with dry nitrogen to
approximately 75to 100PSIG (517to 690kPa).
To be sure that the concentration of refrigerant has
reached all part of the system, slightly open the oil
charging valve and test for the presence of refrig-
erant with a leak detector.
3. Test around each joint and factory weld. It is im-
portant that this test be thoroughly and carefully
done, spending as much time as necessary and us-
ing a good leak detector.
4. To check for refrigerant leaks in the evaporator
and condenser, open the vents in the evaporator
and condenser heads and test for the presence of
refrigerant. If no refrigerant is present, the tubes
and tube sheets may be considered tight. If refrig-
erant is detected at the vents, the heads must be
removed, the leak located (by means of soap test
or leak detector) and repaired.

VACUUM TESTING DO NOT USE STEAM . A suggested method is

After the pressure test has been completed, the vacuum
test should be conducted as follows:
1. Connect a high capacity vacuum pump, with in-
dicator, to the system charging valve as shown in
Figure 14 on Page 27 and start the pump. (Re-
fer to Vacuum Dehydrat ion on Page 29.)
2. Open wide all system valves. Be sure all valves to
the atmosphere are closed.
3. Operate the vacuum pump in accordance with
VACUUM DEHYDRATION until a wet bulb
temperature of +32F or a pressure of 5mm Hg is
reached. Refer to Table 2 on Page 28 for cor-
responding values of pressure.
4. To improve evacuation circulate hot water (not
to exceed 125F, 51.7C) through the evaporator
and condenser tubes to thoroughly dehydrate the
shells. If a source of hot water is not readily avail-
able, a portable water heater should be employed.
to connect a hose between the source of hot water
under pressure and the evaporator head drain con-
nection, out the evaporator vent connection, into
the condenser head drain and out the condenser
vent. To avoid the possibility of causing leaks, the
temperature should be brought up slowly so that
the tubes and shell are heated evenly.
5. Close the system charging valve and the stop valve
between the vacuum indicator and the vacuum
pump. Then disconnect the vacuum pump leaving
the vacuum indicator in place.
6. Hold the vacuum obtained in Step 3in the system
for 8hours;the slightest rise in pressure indicates a
leak or the presence of moisture, or both. If, after 24
hours the wet bulb temperature in the vacuum indi-
cator has not risen above 40F (4.4C) or a pressure
of 6.3mm Hg, the system may be considered tight.

Be sure the vacuum indicator is valved off
while holdingthe system vacuum and be
sure to open the valve between the vacuum
indicator and the system when checking
the vacuum after the 8hour period.
VACUUM DEHYDRATION
To obtain a sufficiently dry system, the following in-
structions have been assembled to provide an effective
method for evacuating and dehydrating a system in the
field. Although there are several methods of dehydrating
a system, we are recommending the following, as it pro-
duces one of the best results, and affords a means of ob-
taining accurate readings as to the extent of dehydration.
The equipment required to follow this method of dehy-
dration consists of a wet bulb indicator or vacuum gauge,
a chart showing the relation between dew point tempera-
ture and pressure in inches of mercury (vacuum), (Refer
to Tabl e 2 on Page 28) and a vacuum pump capable of
pumping a suitable vacuum on the system.
OPERATION
Dehydration of a refrigerant system can be obtained
by this method because the water present in the system
reacts much as a refrigerant would. By pulling down
the pressure in the system to a point where its satu-
ration temperature is considerably below that of room
temperature, heat will flow from the room through the
walls of the system and vaporize the water, allowing
a large percentage of it to be removed by the vacuum
pump. The length of time necessary for the dehydra-
tion of a system is dependent on the size or volume of
the system, the capacity and efficiency of the vacuum
pump, the room temperature and the quantity of water
present in the system. By the use of the vacuum indi-
cator as suggested, the test tube will be evacuated to
the same pressure as the system, and the distilled water
will be maintained at the same saturation temperature
as any free water in the system, and this temperature
can be observed on the thermometer.
If the system has been pressure tested and found to be
tight prior to evacuation, then the saturation tempera-
ture recordings should follow a curve similar to the typ-
ical saturation curve shown as Figure 15on Page 29.
The temperature of the water in the test tube will drop
as the pressure decreases, until the boiling point is
reached, at which point the temperature will level off
and remain at this level until all of the water in the
shell is vaporized. W hen this final vaporization has
JOHNSON CONTROLS
SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE
taken place the pressure and temperature will continue
to drop until eventually a temperature of 35F (1.6C)
or a pressure of 5mm Hg. is reached.
W hen this point is reached, practically all of the air has
been evacuated from the system, but there is still a small
amount of moisture left. In order to provide a medium
for carrying this residual moisture to the vacuum pump,
nitrogen should be introduced into the system to bring
it to atmospheric pressure and the indicator temperature
will return to approximately ambient temperature. Close
off the system again, and start the second evacuation.
The relatively small amount of moisture left will be
carried out through the vacuum pump and the tem-
perature or pressure shown by the indicator should
drop uniformly until it reaches a temperature of 35F
(1.6C) or a pressure of 5mm Hg.
W hen the vacuum indicator registers this temperature
or pressure, it is a positive sign that the system is evac-
uated and dehydrated to the recommended limit. If this
level cannot be reached, it is evident that there is a leak
somewhere in the system. Any leaks must be corrected
before the indicator can be pulled down to 35F or 5
mm Hg. in the primary evacuation.
During the primary pulldown, keep a careful watch on
the wet bulb indicator temperature, and do not let it fall
below 35F (1.6C). If the temperature is allowed to
fall to 32F (0C), the water in the test tube will freeze,
and the result will be a faulty temperature reading.

inder must be admitted to the system pressure until the
system pressure is raised above the point correspond-
ing to the freezing point of the evaporator liquid. For
water, the pressure corresponding to the freezing point
is 8.54PSIG (58.9kPa) for R-134a (at sea level).
W hile charging, every precaution must be taken to pre-
vent moisture laden air from entering the system. M ake
up a suitable charging connection from new copper tub-
ing to fit between the system charging valve and the fit-
ting on the charging drum. This connection should be
as short as possible but long enough to permit sufficient
flexibility for changing drums. The charging connection
should be purged each time a full container of refrigerant
is connected and changing containers should be done as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of refrigerant.
Refrigerant may be furnished in cylinders containing
either 30, 50, 125, 1,025or 1750lbs. (13.6, 22.6, 56.6,
464or 794kg) of refrigerant.
The nameplate on the chiller contains the
correct refrigerant charge information
for the chiller.
CHECKING THE REFRIGERANT CHARGE
DURING UNIT SHUTDOWN
The refrigerant charge is specified for each chiller model.
Charge the correct amount of refrigerant and record the
level in the evaporator sight glass.
The refrigerant charge should always be checked and
trimmed when the system is shut down.
FIGURE 16 - DIAGRAM,MEGGING MOTOR W INDINGS
30
FORM 160.75-O1 (211)
The refrigerant charge level must be checked after the
pressure and temperature have equalized between the
condenser and evaporator. This would be expected to be
4hours or more after the compressor and water pumps
are stopped. The level should visible in the sight glass.
Charge the refrigerant in accordance with the meth-
od shown under the REFRIGERANT CHARGING,
above. The refrigerant level should be observed and
the level recorded after initial charging.
HANDLING REFRIGERANT FOR DISMANTLING
AND REPAIRS
If it becomes necessary to open any part of the refriger-
ant system for repairs, it will be necessary to remove
the charge before opening any part of the unit. If the
chiller is equipped with optional valves, the refrigerant
can be isolated in either the condenser or evaporator /
compressor while making any necessary repairs.

tor starter are open, meg the motor as follows:
1. Using a megohm meter (megger), meg between

nal leads from motor and repeat test.

SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE
CondensersAndEvaporators General
M aintenance of condenser and evaporator shells is im-
portant to provide trouble free operation of the chiller.
The water side of the tubes in the shell must be kept
clean and free from scale. Proper maintenance such as
tube cleaning, and testing for leaks, is covered on the
following pages.
Chem icalWaterTreatm ent
Since the mineral content of the water circulated
through evaporators and condensers varies with almost
every source of supply, it is possible that the water be-
ing used may corrode the tubes or deposit heat resistant
scale in them. Reliable water treatment companies are
available in most larger cities to supply a water treat-
ing process which will greatly reduce the corrosive and
scale forming properties of almost any type of water.
As a preventive measure against scale and corrosion
and to prolong the life of evaporator and condenser
tubes, a chemical analysis of the water should be made
preferably before the system is installed. A reliable wa-
ter treatment company can be consulted to determine
whether water treatment is necessary, and if so, to fur-
nish the proper treatment for the particular water con-
dition.
Cleaning EvaporatorAnd CondenserTubes
Evaporator
It is difficult to determine by any particular test wheth-
er possible lack of performance of the water evaporator
is due to fouled tubes alone or due to a combination
of troubles. Trouble which may be due to fouled tubes
is indicated when, over a period of time, the cooling
capacity decreases and the split (temperature differ-
ence between water leaving the evaporator and the
refrigerant temperature in the evaporator) increases. A
gradual drop-off in cooling capacity can also be caused
by a gradual leak of refrigerant from the system or by a
combination of fouled tubes and shortage of refrigerant
charge. An excessive quantity of oil in the evaporator
can also contribute to erratic performance.
Condenser
In a condenser, trouble due to fouled tubes is usually
indicated by a steady rise in head pressure, over a pe-
riod of time, accompanied by a steady rise in condens-
ing temperature, and noisy operation. These symptoms
may also be due to foul gas buildup. Purging will re-
move the foul gas revealing the effect of fouling.
32
FORM 160.75-O1 (211)
Tube Fouling
Fouling of the tubes can be due to deposits of two types
as follows:
1. Rustor sl udge " %'*)'" 7/0," * &," %-C" */&$" &'("
tubes and accumulates there. This material usu-
ally does not build up on the inner tube surfaces
as scale, but does interfere with the heat transfer.
Rust or sludge can generally be removed from the
tubes by a thorough brushing process.
2. Scale due to mineral deposits. These deposits,
even though very thin and scarcely detectable
upon physical inspection, are highly resistant to
heat transfer. They can be removed most effec-
tively by circulating an acid solution through the
tubes.
Tube Cleaning Procedures
Brush Cleaning of Tubes
If the tube consists of dirt and sludge, it can usually be
removed by means of the brushing process. Drain the
water sides of the circuit to be cleaned (cooling wa-
ter or chilled water) remove the heads and thorough-
ly clean each tube with a soft bristle bronze or nylon
brush. DO NOT USE A STEEL BRISTLE BRUSH. A
steel brush may damage the tubes.
Improved results can be obtained by admitting water
into the tube during the cleaning process. This can be
done by mounting the brush on a suitable length of 1/8"
pipe with a few small holes at the brush end and con-
necting the other end by means of a hose to the water
supply.
The tubes should always be brush cleaned before acid
cleaning.
Acid Cleaning OfTubes
If the tubes are fouled with a hard scale deposit, they
may require acid cleaning. It is important that before
acid cleaning, the tubes be cleaned by the brushing
process described above. If the relatively loose foreign
material is removed before the acid cleaning, the acid
solution will have less material to dissolve and flush
from the tubes with the result that a more satisfactory
cleaning job will be accomplished with a probable sav-
ing of time.
JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 160.75-O1 (211)
Acid cleaningshould only be performed
by an expert. Please consult your local
water treatment representative for as-
sistance in removing scale buildup and
preventative maintenance programs to
eliminate future problems. COM M ER-
CIALACID CLEANING
In many major cities, commercial organizations now
offer a specialized service of acid cleaning evaporators
and condensers. If acid cleaning is required, YORK
recommends the use of this type of organization. The
Dow Industries Service Division of the Dow Chemical
Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma, with branches in principal
cities is one of the most reliable of these companies.
Testing ForEvaporatorAnd CondenserTube
Leaks
Evaporator and condenser tube leaks in R-134a sys-
tems may result in refrigerant leaking into the water
circuit, or water leaking into the shell depending on the
pressure levels. If refrigerant is leaking into the water,
it can be detected at the liquid head vents after a period
of shutdown. If water is leaking into the refrigerant,
system capacity and efficiency will drop off sharply. If
a tube is leaking and water has entered the system, the
evaporator and condenser should be valved off from
the rest of the water circuit and drained immediately to
prevent severe rusting and corrosion. The refrigerant
system should then be drained and purged with dry ni-
trogen to prevent severe rusting and corrosion. If a tube
leak is indicated, the exact location of the leak may be
determined as follows:
1. Remove the heads and listen at each section of
tubes for a hissing sound that would indicate gas
leakage. This will assist in locating the section of
tubes to be further investigated. If the probable
location of the leaky tubes has been determined,
treat that section in the following manner (if the

investigations).
2. Wash off both tube heads and the ends of all tubes
with water.

purpose since its fumes give the same

does.
JOHNSON CONTROLS
SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE
3. W ith nitrogen or dry air, blow out the tubes to
clear them of traces of refrigerant laden moisture
from the circulation water. As soon as the tubes
are clear, a cork should be driven into each end
of the tube. Pressurize the dry system with 50 to
100 PSIG (345 to 690 kPa) of nitrogen. Repeat
this with all of the other tubes in the suspected
section or, if necessary, with all the tubes in the
evaporator or condenser. Allow the evaporator or
condenser to remain corked up to 12to 24hours
before proceeding. Depending upon the amount
of leakage, the corks may blow from the end of a
tube, indicating the location of the leakage. If not,
if will be necessary to make a very thorough test
with the leak detector.
4. After the tubes have been corked for 12 to 24
hours, it is recommended that two men working
at both ends of the evaporator carefully test each
tube one man removing corks at one end and
the other at the opposite end to remove corks and
handle the leak detector. Start with the top row of
tubes in the section being investigated. Remove
the corks at the ends of one tube simultaneously
and insert the exploring tube for 5seconds this
should be long enough to draw into the detec-
tor any refrigerant gas that might have leaked
through the tube walls. A fan placed at the end of
the evaporator opposite the detector will assure
that any leakage will travel through the tube to
the detector.

6. If any of the tube sheet joints are leaking, the leak
should be indicated by the detector. If a tube sheet
leak is suspected, its exact location may be found
by using a soap solution. A continuous buildup of
bubbles around a tube indicates a tube sheet leak.
COMPRESSOR
M aintenance for the compressor assembly consists
of checking the operation of the oil return system and
changing the dehydrator, checking and changing the oil,
checking and changing the oil filters, checking the op-
eration of the oil heater, checking the operation of the oil
pump, and observing the operation of the compressor.
33
SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE
Internal wearing of compressor parts could be a seri-
ous problem caused by improper lubrication, brought
about by restricted oil lines, passages, or dirty oil fil-
ters. If the unit is shutting down on (HOT) High Oil
Temperature or Low Oil Pressure (OP), change the oil
filter element. Examine the oil filter element for the
presence of aluminum particles. Aluminum gas seal
rings can contact the impeller and account for some
aluminum particles to accumulate in the oil filter, espe-
cially during the initial start up and first several months

the nearest Johnson Controls office to request the pres-
ence of a Johnson Controls Service Technician.

LEAK TESTING
The unit should be leak tested monthly. Any leaks

EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER
The major portion of maintenance on the condenser
and evaporator will deal with the maintaining the wa-
ter side of the condenser and evaporator in a clean
condition.
The use of untreated water in cooling towers, closed
water systems, etc. frequently results in one or more of
the following:
1. Scale Formation.
2. Corrosion or Rusting.
3. Slime and Algae Formation.
It is therefore to the benefit of the user to provide for
proper water treatment to provide for a longer and
more economical life of the equipment. The following
recommendation should be followed in determining
the condition of the water side of the condenser and
evaporator tubes.
1. The condenser tubes should be cleaned annually
or earlier if conditions warrant. If the temperature
difference between the water off the condenser
and the condenser liquid temperature is more than
4F (2C) greater than the difference recorded on
36
FORM 160.75-O1 (211)
a new unit, it is a good indication that the con-
denser tubes require cleaning. Refer to SECTION
6- MAINTENANCE of this manual for condenser
tube cleaning instructions.
2. The evaporator tubes under normal circumstances
will not require cleaning. If the temperature dif-
ference between the refrigerant and the chilled
water increases slowly over the operating season,
it is an indication that the evaporator tubes may be
fouling or that there may be a water bypass in the
waterbox requiring gasket replacement or refrig-
erant may have leaked from the chiller.
3. Heat recovery condenser tubes should be evalu-
ated similiar to evaporator tubes when the heating
circuit is a treated, closed loop. Fouling could be
detected as ability to meet heat load requirements
decreases.
OIL RETURN SYSTEM
1. Change the dehydrator in the oil return system
semi-annually or earlier if the oil return system
fails to operate.
2. W hen the dehydrator is changed, the nozzle of the
eductor should be checked for any foreign par-
ticles that may be obstructing the jet.
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
1. All electrical controls should be inspected for ob-
vious malfunctions.
2. It is important that the factory settings of controls
(operation and safety) not be changed. If the set-
tings are changed without Johnson Controls ap-
proval, the warranty will be jeopardized.
