EVAPORATOR SECTION
Double Wall Construction – Double-wall construction
is the standard construction of the Eco
powder coated pre-fabricated outer panels and corner
post for maximum exterior surface protection.
Factory Shrink-wrap – Eco2 rooftop units are shipped
from the factory with factory-fresh shrink-wrap packaging. No longer does the contractor need to worry about
dirt and debris clogging up condenser coils or moisture
leaking into the air handler on the units way to the job
site or rigging yard.
Copper Fins – For more extreme climates that aggressively can attack aluminum, copper tube evaporator coils
with copper fi ns are available. (This is not recommended

Air Conditioners use established scroll compressor
technology to deliver dependable, economical performance in a wide range of applications. With the
Eco2 Packaged Rooftop, you get the latest generation
of compressor enhancements added to the scroll’s
inherent strengths. The simplicity of a hermetic scroll
compressor allows the use of fewer moving parts to
minimize breakdown.

oxidizers, wet bromide, chlorine and fl uorine in concen-
trations greater than 100ppm).
Compressor Sound Blankets – Optional compressor
acoustic sound blankets are available for sound sensitive applications.
Multiple Compressor Staging – Through the use of the
scroll compressor, the Eco2 has the ability to stage its
cooling by enabling and disabling multiple single stage
compressors on multiple circuits. These compressors
are manifolded together in pairs on a single refrigeration circuit.
Compressor Circuiting – the Eco2 is designed so that
only 2 scroll compressors are in tandem within one refrigeration circuit. This means more reliable compressors,
and less equipment down time. With multiple circuits, if
a compressor should ever fail on one circuit, the other
circuit will remain operational to work to maintain occupied loads. The Eco2 system has 2 circuits in a unit.

GENERAL
2
The Eco
air conditioning units are designed for outdoor
installation. When selecting a site for installation, be
guided by the following conditions:
• Unit must be installed on a level surface.
• For the outdoor location of the unit, select a place
having a minimum sun exposure and an adequate
supply of fresh air for the condenser.
• Also avoid locations beneath windows or between
structures.
• Optional condenser coil protection should be used
for seashore locations or other harsh environments.
• The unit should be installed on a roof that is structur-
ally strong enough to support the weight of the unit
with a minimum of defl ection. It is recommended that
the unit(s) be installed not more than 15 feet from
a main support beam to provide proper structural
support and to minimize the transmission of sound
and vibration. Ideally, the center of gravity should
be located over a structural support or building
column.
• Location of unit(s) should also be away from build-
ing fl ue stacks or exhaust ventilators to prevent
possible reintroduction of contaminated air through
the outside air intakes.
• Be sure the supporting structures will not obstruct
the duct, gas or wiring connections.
• Proper service clearance space of 6-feet around
the perimeter of the unit, 8-feet on one side for coil
servicing, and 12-feet to any adjacent units is required to eliminate cross contamination of exhaust
and outdoor air, and for maintenance tasks such
as coil pull and cleaning. No obstructions should
be above the condensing unit section.
LOCATION
Of the many factors that can effect the location of
equipment, some of the most important to consider are
Structural, Acoustical and Service clearances. Proper
attention should be made at the design stage to ensure
proper structural support. In cases where equipment is
being replaced, be aware of building design to insure
support is adequate for the application.
The next most important consideration in applying roof
top equipment is that of sound from the equipment.
Special care should be made to keep the roof top unit
away from sound sensitive areas such as conference
rooms, auditoriums and executive offi ces and any other
room that may have potential for tenant occupancy . Possible locations could be above hallways, mechanical or
utility rooms.
8
Finally, service clearances should be maintained in
rooftop design to insure safe access to the unit. Unit
clearances are designed so that technicians have
enough space between units, building walls, and edges
of building to gain access safely . In cases where space
is limited, please call your local YORK representative
for additional information.

RIGGING
Proper rigging and handling of the equipment is mandatory during unloading and setting it into position to retain
warranty status.
Spreader bars must be used by cranes to prevent damage to the unit casing. All lifting lugs must be used when
lifting the rooftop unit. Fork lifts will damage the rooftop
unit and are not recommended. Care must be taken to
keep the unit in the upright position during rigging and
to prevent damage to the watertight seams in the unit
casing. Avoid unnecessary jarring or rough handling.
UNIT PLACEMENT
• Elevated – Elevated roof curbs or dunnage steel
can be used to support the unit in order to raise it
to specifi c heights. When this type of placement
is required, be sure to keep unit access in mind.
Cat-walks or other forms of unit access may be
required to one or both sides of the unit, depending on your area of the country and the local codes
that are enforced. Please check with local offi cials
to ensure the application conforms to local codes
and regulations.
• Ground Level Locations – It is important that the
units be installed on a substantial base that will not
settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines and
sheet metal and resulting in possible leaks. A onepiece concrete slab with footers extended below
the frost line is highly recommended. Additionally,
the slab should be isolated from the main building
foundation to prevent noise and vibration transmission to the building structure. For ground level
installations, precautions should be taken to protect
the unit from tampering by , or injury to, unauthorized

persons. Erecting a fence around the unit is common
practice.
• Roof curb – YORK offers optional roof curbs
2
designed specifi cally for the Eco
footprint. This
curb comes as an open condenser model and is
shipped disassembled and requires fi eld assem-
bly and installation. For bottom supply and return
openings, the curbs have matching connections to
ease installation. A pipe chase that matches the
rooftop unit pipe chase is also included in the curb
footprint for through-the-curb utility connections.
The curb should be located according to the location recommendations above, and properly sealed
to prevent moisture and air leakage into and out of
the duct system. Flexible collars should be used
when connecting the duct work to prevent unit noise
transmission and vibration into the building.
Duct work should be supported independently of the unit.

Cool/gas heat 375-750 MBH
Cool/gas heat 1,125 MBH
UNIT ORIENTATION
For applications with multiple rooftop units located in
close proximity on the roof, the orientation of the unit
may be important to reduce the potential for re-entrainment of outside airfl ow. Regardless of the outside air and
exhaust air openings on a unit, all rooftop applications
can permit recirculation of exhaust air to the return, if
applied improperly.
HORIZONT AL APPLICATIONS
The spectrum of applications for roof top units in today’s
market is continuing to grow wider by the day. Flexibility in unit design and construction is a must in today’s
market in order to insure safe and sound applications of
HV AC equipment. The Eco2 has been designed for specifi c application of horizontal supply and return airfl ow
taking the guess work out of unit application by building
a unit specifi c to these needs. If the application calls for
horizontal supply and return air, YORK can ship it from
the factory as a horizontal unit. This option elevates the
need for fi eld modifi cation of equipment, saving time
and money . The Eco2 can support a left discharge on all
units except 1,125 MBH gas, and/or right discharge on
all cooling-only units. Return air can be brought through
the end or side return air inlet making the unit specifi c
to building needs.
No exhaust
Barometric relief damper
Powered exhaust fan
DUCT CONSIDERATIONS
Unlike competitive units where air can leave the rooftop
unit stratifi ed across the width of the unit, the Eco2 unit
suffi ciently mixes airfl ow to ensure consistent air tem-
perature from the unit. No special T ee considerations are
required and the unit may be oriented either way.
ECONOMIZER
The economizer section is used for ventilation of the
conditioned space to maintain indoor air quality, and
also to reduce energy consumption by using outdoor
air cooling in lieu of mechanical cooling. If outdoor air is
appropriate for cooling, but not suffi cient for the cooling
demand, mechanical cooling will stage on as necessary
until the cooling load is met.
Dual (comparative or differential) enthalpy operation is
the most accurate and effi cient means of economizer
operation. The unit controller monitors the return and
outside air energy content, and selects the lower of the
two for operation.

VAV SUPPLY AIR PRESSURE CONTROL
Traditional packaged rooftop systems use inlet guide
vanes (IGVs) for duct static pressure control. These
control supply duct pressure by modulating dampers
(introducing losses and ineffi ciencies) on the inlet of the
fan, open and closed. YORK’s variable frequency drives
(VFDs) offer superior fan speed control and quieter,
energy effi cient operation.

benefi ts of quieter and more effi cient operation when
compared to IGV.
unit uses a VFD
potential. It is used for mild seashore or industrial
locations. This can provide corrosion resistance
comparable to copper fi n coils in typical seashore
locations.
• Post-Coated Condenser Fins – Technicoat (a
post-coated application of epoxy) can be used for
seashore and other corrosive applications with the
exception of strong alkaloides, oxidizers, wet bromide, chlorine and fl uorine in concentrations greater
than 100 ppm. Any of the above suitable options
should be selected based on the particular project
design parameters and related environmental factors. The application should be further reviewed and
approved by the consulting engineer or owner based
on their knowledge of the job site conditions.
BUILDING PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEMS
Building pressure control systems are often necessary when economizers are used to bring in outdoor
air. Without proper building exhaust, the building may
become over pressurized. The pressure control system
maintains the proper building pressure by expelling the
appropriate amount of air from the building.
FIG. 1. TRADITIONAL OVERHEAD VAV AIR
DELIVERY SYSTEM
HARSH ENVIRONMENTS – CONDENSER AND
EVAPORATOR COIL PROTECTION
For harsh environmental conditions such as seashore
applications, YORK offers three types of coil protection:
copper fi n material, black fi n and Technicoat coatings.
YORK recommends that for corrosive environments that
copper fi ns be used to protect the evaporator and/or
condenser coils. In areas where chemicals that can
corrode copper are present, such as ammonia, YORK
recommends that the black fi n or T echnicoat coating be
used for maximum protection.
• Copper-Fin Evaporator and Condenser Coil
– Copper fi ns can be used instead of aluminum for
additional corrosion protection. However, it is not
suitable for areas that are subject to acid rain or
exposed to ammonia.
• Pre-Coated Condenser Fins – Black fi n coating
(yellow fi n for evaporator fi ns) is pre-coated appli-
cation epoxy on aluminum fi n stock to guard from
corrosive agents and insulate against galvanic
Exhaust/relief fans – In this application, a powered
exhaust fan may be suitable, however careful consideration of the fan type is necessary. YORK offers a
centrifugal powered exhaust fan to perform this function.
Some manufacturers use a propeller exhaust fan, which
cannot handle the static pressure requirements.
For systems with moderate to low return static pressure,
an exhaust fan is recommended. The benefi t of the ex-
haust fan is that it does not run all of the time, and may
facilitate compliance with the ASHRAE 90.1 fan motor
horsepower requirement.
The exhaust fan operates in parallel with the supply
fan. In this arrangement, the supply fan handles the full
static pressure requirements of the system. For normal
building pressure control, the exhaust fan operates to
draw air from the return plenum and exhaust it out of
the building.
The exhaust fan confi guration is available in two forms,
modulating and non-modulating. Modulating is the most
common and recommended for the majority of applications, while non-modulating should be used with in only
certain circumstances.
In the modulating exhaust system, the volume of airfl ow
exhausted from the building is proportional to the entering volume of outside air. Control is accomplished via
either a discharge damper or a variable-frequencydrive
(VFD). YORK recommends the use of a VFD to reduce
energy consumption, sound levels and improved reliability due to fewer moving parts.
10
JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 100.50-EG5 (108)
In the non-modulating exhaust system, the exhaust airfl ow is constant whenever the exhaust fan is operating.
This type of control should only be used to either assist
a smoke purge system or when a system requires a
constant volume of exhaust airfl ow.
ACOUSTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
2
The Eco
unit is designed for lower sound levels than
competitive units by using fl exible fan connections, fan
spring isolators, double-wall construction, multiple fan
options, and lower speed and horsepower fans. For
V AV applications, VFDs are used instead of inlet guide
vanes. Additional sound attenuation can be obtained
using compressor sound blankets and fi eld-supplied
sound attenuators when necessary.
Even with these equipment design features, the acoustical characteristics of the entire installation must never be
overlooked. Additional steps for the acoustical characteristics of a rooftop installation should be addressed during
the design phase of a project to avoid costly alterations
after the installation of the equipment. During the design
phase of a project, the designing engineer should consider, at a minimum, the impact of the equipment location,
rooftop installation, building structure, and duct work.
