General safety guidelines Important: Read before proceeding. This equipment is a relatively complicated apparatus. During rigging, installation, operation, maintenance, or service, individuals may be exposed to certain components or conditions including, but not limited to: heavy objects, refrigerants, materials under pressure, rotating components, and both high and low voltage.
All wiring must be in accordance with Johnson Controls’ published specifications and must be performed only by a qualified electrician. Johnson Controls will NOT be responsible for damage/problems resulting from improper connections to the controls or application of improper control signals.

Continental United States. CAUTION The Johnson Controls Warranty may be voided if the following restrictions are not adhered to. 1. Do not open any valves or connections under any circumstances because such action will result in loss of the factory nitrogen charge.
• Miscellaneous material – vibration isolation pads (or optional spring isolators and brackets) will ship loss. Note: Units shipped dismantled must be reassembled by, or under the supervision of, a Johnson Controls representative. Form 3 - Drivelines separate from shells • H9, K1, and K2 liquid chilling units.
Report any damage or signs of possible damage to the transportation company immediately for their inspection. Note: Johnson Controls will not be responsible for any damage in shipment or at job site or loss of parts. Refer to Shipping Damage Claims (Form 50.15-NM).
• Water passes • Refrigerant charge • Serial numbers • Motor power characteristics and connection diagrams Additional information may be found on the motor data plates. This information should be included when contacting the factory on any problem relating to the motor. Long-term storage To protect the waterbox of pressure vessels from rusting, the tube side (water side) has been purged and charged with nitrogen to a positive pressure of 5 psig to 7 psig.

Monitor the pressure gauge (Item 2). The pressure should decline gradually. When the pointer of pressure gauge does not move and no nitrogen comes out of valve (Item 5), it means that no positive pressure exists in the waterbox. Now it is safe to remove the flange cover (Item 6) or sealing cap (Item 9). Close the valve (Item 5) and remove the warning tag (Item 1).
Rigging 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 lifting holes (two in each end) in the end sheets which must be used to lift the unit.
Figure 4: YD Form 2 rigging Location YORK Chillers are furnished with vibration isolator mounts for basement or ground level installations. Units may be located on upper floor levels providing the floor is capable of supporting the total unit operating weight and optional spring isolators are used. The chiller should be located in an indoor location where temperatures range from 40°F to 110°F (4.4°C to 43.3°C).
CAUTION Sufficient clearance to facilitate normal service and maintenance work must be provided all around and above the unit. Ample space should be provided at either end to permit cleaning or replacement of evaporator and condenser tubes – see Clearance. A doorway or other sufficiently large opening properly located may be used.

Installation and reassembly Rigging unit to final location Rig the unit to its final location on the floor 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.) Note: Units shipped dismantled should be assembled under the supervision of a Johnson Controls representative.
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 must be arranged with offsets for flexibility, and adequately supported and braced independently of the unit to avoid strain on the unit and vibration transmission.
Page 41
Figure 21: Schematic of a typical piping arrangement Condenser water circuit For proper operation of the unit, condenser refrigerant pressure must be maintained above evaporator pressure. If operating conditions will fulfill 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 efficiently when condenser water is allowed to seek its own temperature level at reduced loads and off-peak seasons of the year.
the chilled and condenser water circuits, operate the pumps manually 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.
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 Johnson Controls representative: (1) the lubricant piping to oil sump and oil evaporator and system oil return connections using material furnished.
Note: Remote electromechanical starters for the chiller must be furnished in accordance with the Remote Starter Specification (Form 160.79-PW4) to provide the features necessary for the starter to function properly with the YORK control system. Each chiller unit is furnished for a specific electrical power supply as stamped on the Unit Data Plate, which also details the motor connection diagrams.
Figure 25: Compressor motor field connections diagram (floor mounted) Insulation CAUTION DO NOT field insulate until the unit has been leak tested under the supervision of the Johnson Controls representative. Insulation of the type specified for the job, or minimum thickness to prevent sweating of 30°F (-1°C) surfaces should be furnished (by others) and applied to the evaporator shell, end sheets,...
After the unit is installed, piped and wired as described in this Instruction, but before any attempt is made to start the unit, the Johnson Controls Office should be advised so that the start-up service, included in the contract price, can be scheduled. Complete the Installation Checklist and Request for Startup Engineer (Form 160.79-CL1 and send to the Johnson Controls office.

Note that the actuator valve uses O-rings instad of a flat gasket. If you use any oil on the O- ring, ensure that you use York K oil. See the discharge line weight in Table 19. Lift a compressor/motor assembly and remove the packing materials (see Figure 26 for rigging).
