  • Page 5: General Safety Guidelines

    General safety guidelines 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.
  • Page 6: Changeability Of This Document

    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.

  • Page 9: Overview

    Overview This manual provides instructions for rigging and installing a Johnson Controls YVAM Liquid Chilling Unit. Chillers are shipped as a single factory-assembled, piped, and wired package. The units require a minimum of field labor to make chilled water connections and electrical power connections.

  • Page 11: Receiving

    If any damage is evident, it must be noted on the carrier’s freight bill and a claim entered in accordance with the instructions given on the advice note. Note: Johnson controls is not responsible for any damage in shipment or at job site or loss of parts. Refer to Shipping Damage Claims Form, Form 50.15-NM.
  • Page 12: Chiller Data Plate

    • When units are received, notify the nearest Johnson Controls office in ample time for a Johnson Controls representative to supervise rigging the unit to its storage or operating locations. • Do not make final power supply connections to the single point power panel or any other power connections without Johnson Controls supervision.
  • Page 13: Rigging

    Rigging Figure 9: Rigging warning WARNING Rigging and lifting should only be done by a professional rigger in accordance with a written rigging and lifting plan. The most appropriate rigging and lifting method depends on job specific factors, such as the rigging equipment available and site needs. A professional rigger must determine the rigging and lifting method to be used.
  • Page 14: Lifting Weights

    Lifting weights Note that weight can vary depending on unit configuration at the time of lifting. See Figure 11 for lifting location information. All published weights in this manual are approximate values at the time of publication. Refer to the unit nameplate or submittal documents for unit shipping weight. Moving the chiller Before moving the unit, ensure that the installation site is suitable for installing the unit and can easily support the weight of the unit and all associated services.
  • Page 15: Chiller Dimensions And Rigging Locations

    • Use spreader bars to avoid lifting chains hitting the chiller. Various methods of spreader bar arrangements may be used, keeping in mind the intent is to keep the unit stable and to prevent the chains from hitting the chiller and causing damage. •...
  • Page 16: Installation

    Foundation requirements Mount units on a flat and level foundation, ground or roof, that can support the entire operating weight of the equipment. Contact your nearest Johnson Controls Sales Office for shipping and operating weights. Ground locations For ground level locations, the unit must be installed on a suitable flat and level concrete base that extends to fully support the two side channels of the unit base frame.
  • Page 17: Other Considerations

    The results of the restricted airflow or hot air recirculation can diminish performance as outlined in Form 150.12-AD2, Air-Cooled Chiller Derating Due to Airflow Restrictions. Johnson Controls’ unit controls optimize the operation without nuisance high pressure safety cutouts. However, the system designer must consider the potential for performance degradation.

    • Provide adequate space for tubes to be removed from evaporator. For clearances, contact your nearest Johnson Controls Sales Office. Figure 12: Unit clearance dimensions, ft (m) Rig chiller to final location...
  • Page 19: Leveling The Chiller

    Leveling the chiller Make sure that chiller base rail remains straight along the long axis of the chiller during the leveling process. This can be accomplished with the use of a string along the base rail. Any bowing of the chiller frame can lead to refrigerant line failures or other component fatigue issues over time.
  • Page 20: Isolators

    This method is not recommended as an option for YVAM chillers. Vibration isolation is an important option that must be accounted for at chiller installation. If isolators are not ordered, they must be selected based on the loading at the specific chiller locations. Contact Johnson Controls representative for assistance if isolators have not been provided.

    Compressor refrigerant piping and system external piping are factory installed on all units. On units where the chiller refrigerant piping must be removed for any reason, the piping must only be completed under the direct supervision of the Johnson Controls representative.

Isolators (by others) in the piping are a preferred option, and may be required by specifications in order to effectively use the vibration isolation characteristics of the vibration isolation mounts of the unit •...
  • Page 26: Check For Piping Alignment

    CAUTION Any debris left in the water piping between the strainer and evaporator could cause serious damage to the tubes in the evaporator and must be avoided. Be sure the piping is clean before connecting it to the evaporator. Keep evaporator nozzles and chilled liquid piping capped before installation to ensure construction debris is not allowed to enter.

    Note: No deviations in unit wiring from that shown on drawings furnished will be made without prior approval of the Johnson Controls representative. Apply insulation All evaporator parts are factory insulated on the shell surfaces, end sheets, liquid feed line to flow chamber, compressor suction connection, and evaporator liquid heads and water connection nozzles.
  • Page 28: Unit Heater Operation Verification

    Unit heater operation verification The YVAM chiller uses various heaters to protect all of the devices that are susceptible to low ambient temperature limits. As part of the commissioning process of the chiller, it is important to verify operation of these heaters to ensure reliability of these various components. Verification of heater operation should be logged using the current values for each heater in Form 160.88- CL2 during chiller commissioning.
