Motor The compressor motor is a hermetic permanent magnet high speed design with magnetic bearings. The compressor impeller is overhung from the end of the motor shaft and has no bearings of its own. The motor includes angular contact ball bearings only engaged with the rotor shaft during shutdown after rotation is stopped or during shutdown due to loss of power to the magnetic bearings.
Page 14
Variable speed drive A variable speed drive will be factory packaged with the chiller. It is designed to vary the compressor motor speed by controlling the frequency and voltage of the electrical power to the motor. The control logic automatically adjusts motor speed as required to suit lift and capacity requirements.

VSD operation OptiSpeed compressor drive overview The new YORK OptiSpeed Compressor Drive (OSCD) is specifically designed for the application of ® driving a permanent magnet high speed motor with magnetic bearings used on the YORK Model Centrifugal Liquid Chiller. This type of design allows the chiller to be designed as a complete system, and take full advantage of the strengths of each major component within the system.
The OSCD can now be configured for many different input voltage levels. Lower input voltages may de-rate the input power rating of the OSCD, but the OSCD produces the same output voltage and uses the same motor. The Harmonic filter is no longer an option, and the function of the Harmonic filter is included in a new rectifier module.

OptiSpeed compressor drive details (0490 and 0774 amp drives) An electronic circuit breaker or disconnect switch connects the three phase input power to input fuses and then onto the AC line inductor, and input filter. See Figure 61. Three-phase power continues onto the rectifier power modules to the bus capacitor to the inverter, then onto the output filter and the compressor motor.

the current is limited by the precharge resistors. This 12 s period is called the precharge time. After 12 s has passed, a small relay closes, and cause the supply contactor to close. Shortly, after this time the precharge contactor opens. The drive is now precharged and ready to run. All of the precharge faults remain the same as when the auxiliary power device is used to precharge the drive.

In April of 2016 the control for the fans and pumps was changed so that they would continue to run 2 minutes after the stop command. This change occurred in software version C.HYP.03.04.01, and C.HYP.04.04.01. During normal chiller run conditions the control panel provides a speed command to the OSCD. The speed command must take into account minimum speed command from the anti-surge control, and the speed required by the leaving chilled liquid temperature control.

Important: If a unit failure occurs due to incorrect maintenance during the warranty period; Johnson Controls will not be liable for costs incurred to return the system to satisfactory operation. Electrical isolation Isolate electrical power supply to the chiller from the facility Isolate the Power Panel battery from the Uninterrupted Power Supply by opening the Power Panel disconnect switch.
• Verify that the evaporator and condenser water flows are within rated limits. • Check the operation of the motor starter. Monitor at unit start-up for any abnormalities. Annually (or more often if necessary) For the evaporator and condenser, perform the following inspections: a.

WARNING Take care not to exceed the rated pressure of the unit refrigerant pressure relief valves. Conducting the gas pressure hold test Install a high-quality high-resolution analog pressure gauge on one of the shells to monitor the system pressure over time. Ensure that the pressure gauge has a resolution of 2 psi increments with a dial face at 3 in.
Page 148
Figure 73: Leak test hold time Conducting the optional trace gas leak test Install a high-quality high-resolution analog pressure gauge on one of the shells to monitor the system pressure over time. Ensure that the pressure gauge has a resolution of 2 psi increments with a dial face at 3 in.
It is important that a suitable gas detection device is used that can detect the trace gas that is selected. Set the gas detection limit for 10% R-134a based trace gas to 0.078 Oz/Yr R-143a. Add dry nitrogen to the chiller until the pressure reaches 100 psig (690 kPa). To ensure that the concentration of trace gas has reached all parts of the system, slightly open the oil sump drain service valve and test for the presence of the trace gas with a leak detector.
Page 150
WARNING If you apply too deep of a vacuum, any trapped moisture might freeze and might not be exhausted as vapor. Failure to remove all of the moisture can create acids in the refrigerant circuit. This may damage internal system components over time causing premature failures of items such as oil pump motors and any other devices sensitive to acid contact.

5,000 μm. Because vacuum pumps have the capacity to overcome the boiling rate of the trapped moisture, do not go below this pressure at this point. Figure 75: Saturation curve When 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.
6. To determine if it is moisture or a leak, a pressure rise test must be conducted. Evacuate the system to 5,000 μm again and perform another hold test. If the pressure rise goes to 0 psig, that indicates that a leak is present. During the hold period, if moisture is present, the pressure stabilizes at some level below atmosphere and should correspond to the room ambient temperature or the heat being applied to the vessel.

temperature of the refrigerant recorded in the container indicates that the gas pressure aligns correctly with the corresponding temperature. See Table 103 Table 104. You must only admit refrigerant vapor from the top of the drum or cylinder to the system until the system pressure is raised above the corresponding saturation pressure at the highest freezing point of the chiller liquids.

FOF. For older units where they are not seen on the FOF, they would be provided upon request from the chillers sales engineer from the chiller rating program. These depend on tube selection, chilled fluid type, operating head, and operating condition. The following equations define these parameters.

Chemical water treatment 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 being 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 treating process which will greatly reduce the corrosive and scale forming properties of almost any type of water.
Page 159
In many major cities, commercial organizations now offer a specialized service of acid cleaning evaporators and condensers. If acid cleaning is required, Johnson Controls 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.
Ensure electrical connections are tight and connectors are secure annually. It is important that the factory settings of controls (operation and safety) not be changed. If the settings are changed without Johnson Controls approval, the warranty will be jeopardized. Automatic battery health test during shutdown For periodic maintenance or to diagnose battery faults or warnings, a battery health test can be performed.
Page 161
The following constitute a fail result: If the Battery Voltage drops to less than the Inverter Low Battery Voltage Threshold (default 11.0 V) (UPS – Inverter Low Battery Voltage fault threshold), the test fails and ends. If the test takes longer than 75 seconds, the test fails and ends. If the UPS shuts down (OptiView loses power) due to voltage, fuses, disconnect, or any other reason, the test fails and the OptiView displays a fault on next power up stating that the battery health test has failed.
