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.
Traditional chiller maintenance is based upon assumed and generalized conditions. In lieu of the traditional maintenance program, a Johnson Controls YORK Conditioned Based Maintenance (CBM) program can be substituted. This CBM service plan is built around the specific needs for the chiller, operating conditions, and annualized impact realized by the chiller.
Description of system and fundamentals of operation System operation description The following is a high-level description of the chiller control. It describes the overall operation. Control Center components, chiller components and programmable setpoints are referenced. See Figure 2 to view the chiller operation flowchart. The YD dual compressor chiller consists of one evaporator, one condenser, two oil pumps and two compressors.
You can performs a lockout on a compressor to prevent it from running. Only one compressor at a time can be locked out. Two CM-2 current boards, one for each compressor motor, provides motor Overload and Power Fault protection for units with E-M starters. Units with SSS or VSDs have motor Overload and Power Fault protection built in to the starter.

Discharge #X – Valve Not Opened appears. Upon entering prelube, the refrigerant level control raise (close) output to the variable orifice is energized for the duration of the Valve Preset Time setpoint (0 to 100 seconds). After this pre-positioning, the valve is held in this position for the first 3 minutes of compressor operation.

has opened, the Condenser Refrigerant Control ramp-up period begins as described in Condenser refrigerant level control – lag start. While both compressors are running, the variable geometry diffusers are modulated according to the stall activity and pre-rotation vanes position. There is no VGD response to surge activity.

while starting the Lag compressor. The Override Time Remaining displays the time remaining in the Valve Preset mode or the time remaining in the Lag Start mode. In the first case, it is the time remaining in the Valve Preset Timer plus the time remaining of the first 3 minutes of lead compressor run time.

• “Control panel – Schedule” If any faults other than those listed above occur during a soft shutdown, the soft shutdown is aborted, the run signal to the compressor motor starter is de-energized and the compressor or compressors immediately enter Coastdown. If an operator initiates a Local Stop with the Keypad Rocker Switch or any fault occurs other than those listed immediately above, a Fault Shutdown is performed on all running compressors.

OptiView Control Center The YORK OptiView™ Control Center is a microprocessor based control system for R-134a centrifugal chillers. It controls the leaving chilled liquid temperature through pre-rotation vane controls and can limit motor current through control of the pre-rotation vanes. The panel comes configured with a full screen LCD Graphic Display mounted in the middle of a keypad interface.

The Start/Stop control is operated using a three-position rocker switch. When toggled all the way to the right, it is in the STOP/RESET position. When in the middle position, this is the RUN state. When toggled to the left-most position, it is in the START state. Each state is described in detail as follows: STOP / RESET When in this position, the chiller does not run under any condition.
