GENERAL
The Liquid Chiller will be completely assembled with all
interconnecting refrigerant piping and internal wiring,
ready for field installation.
• Each compressor will be mounted on isolator pads to
reduce transmission of vibration to the rest of the unit.
COOLER
The unit will be pressure-tested, evacuated, and charged
with Refrigerant-22, and York ‘L’ (POE) synthetic oil.
There will be an operational test, with water flowing
through the cooler, to check that each control device
operates correctly.
The unit will be covered with a coat of Caribbean Blue
enamel. Units are designed in accordance with NFPA
70 (National Electric Code), U.L. and cU.L. Standards,
ASHRAE/ANSI 15 Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration. All units are produced at an ISO 9001 registered facility. All YCWS chillers are rated and certified in
accordance with ARI Standard 550/590 at ARI conditions.
SEMI-HERMETIC YORK SCREW COMPRESSORS

proportional Capacity Control Valve provides regulated
output pressure independent of valve input pressure
for a stable, smooth, and precise match of compressor capacity to cooling load to 10% of chiller capacity.
• Automatic spring return of capacity control valve to
minimum load position ensures compressor starting
at minimum motor load. Internal discharge check to
prevent rotor backspin upon shutdown.

capability. This option provides between 50Ka and 65Ka withstand
protection to the equipment.

Mounted) – Provides means to reset the leaving chilled liquid
temperature or percent full load amps (current limiting) from the
BAS (Factory Mounted):

ALTERNA TIVE CHILLED FLUID APPLICA TIONS:
Standard water chilling application range is 40°F to 50°F (4.4°C to
10°C) Leaving Chilled Water T emperature. To protect against nuisance safety trips below 40°F (4.4°C) and reduce the possibility of
cooler damage due to freezing during chiller operation, the unit
microprocessor automatically unloads the compressors at abnormally low suction temperature (pressure) conditions , prior to safety
shutdown.
• Process Brine Option – Process or other applications requir-
ing chilled fluid below 40°F (4.4°C) risk water freezing in the
evaporator, typically overcome by using antifreeze. For these
applications, the chiller system incorporates brine (ethylene or
propylene glycol solution), and the system design Leaving Chilled
Fluid T emperature must be provided on the order form to ensure
proper factory configuration.
• Thermal Storage Option – Thermal Storage equires special
capabilities from a chiller, including the ability to ‘charge’ an ice
storage tank, then possibly automatically reset for operation at
elevated Leaving Chilled Fluid T emperatures as required by automatic building controls. The Thermal Storage Option provides
Ice Storage duty Leaving Chilled Fluid setpoints from 25°F to
15°F( -4°C to -10°C) minimum during charge cycle, with a Reset
range of 36°F (20°C) supply fluid temperature.

High Pressure Superheated Vapour
Low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the cooler tubes and is evaporated and superheated by the heat energy absorbed
from the chilled liquid passing through the cooler shell. Low-pressure vapor enters the compressor where pressure and
superheat are increased. High-pressure vapor is passed through the oil separator where heat is rejected to the condenser water passing through the tubes. The fully condensed and subcooled liquid leaves the condenser and enters the
expansion valve, where pressure reduction and further cooling take place. The low pressure liquid refrigerant then
returns to the cooler. Each refrigerant circuit utilizes liquid injection, maintaining efficient oil temperature operation
within the compressor.

Selection Data
GUIDE TO SELECTION
Complete water chilling capacity ratings for YORK YCWS
chillers are shown on the following pages to cover the
majority of job requirements. For any application beyond the scope of this Engineering Guide, consult your
nearest YORK Office.
SELECTION RULES
1. RATINGS - YCWS 200, 230 380, 460 & 575-3-60 rating are certified in accordance with ARI standard 550/
590, at the ARI standard condition. Rating not at standard ARI conditions are rated in accordance with ARI
rating procedures. These ratings may be interpolated
but should not be extrapolated.
2. COOLING WATER QUANTITY - Ratings are based
on 10ºF chilled water range. Use the chilled water
correction factors (below) for other ranges except as
limited by water pressure drop, minimum or maximum
water flows for the cooler.
3. CONDENSER WATER QUANTITY – Rating are applicable from 2 to 4 gpm/ton as limited by water pressure drop or minimum or maximum water flows for
the condenser. Using the tabulated MBH, the Cond.
GPM is calculated as follows:

METHOD OF SELECTION
If the duty requires a 10ºF range on both the cooler and
condenser, see “Ratings”. For water ranges other than
10ºF, use the following procedure.
1. Determine capacity required from the following formula
Capacity (tons) =
GPM x Chilled Water Range (ºF)
24
2. After applying any fouling factor corrections, the actual condenser heat rejection may be determined as
follows:
Heat Rejection (Btuh) = (Tons x 12,000) + (kW x 3415)
Cond. GPM =
Cond. Water Range (ºF)
MBH x 2
4. FOULING FACTORS – Rating are based on 0.0001
evaporator and 0.00025 condenser fouling factor. For
other fouling factors, consult the table below or contact your YORK representative.
3. Determine condensing water requirements for water
cooled models as follows:
Condenser Tons =
Cond. Water GPM =
Heat Rejection (MBH) x 1000

FORM 201.24-EG1
SAMPLE SELECTION
Water Cooled Condenser (YCWS)
GIVEN – Chill 200 GPM of water from 56ºF to 44ºF and
0.0001 evaporator fouling factor with 85ºF to 95ºF condensing water available. Fouling factor of 0.0005 special field for the condenser.
FIND – The required unit size capacity, kW, EER, and
water pressure drop.
SOLUTION:
1. Chilled water range = 56ºF - 44ºF = 12ºF and correction factors are 1.0133 for Tons and 0.9993 for kW for
the cooler.
2. Capacity (tons) =
= 200 x 12
24
GPM x Chilled Water Range
24
= 100TR
2. From the rating, a model YCWS0120SC has a capacity range required. For the cooler leaving water
temperature of 44ºF and a condenser leaving water
temperature of 95ºF, the unit capacity rating table indicates:
EER =
Tons x 12 = 95.0 X 12 = 15.4
Kw 74
4. Determine the cond. Heat rejection as follows:
Heat Rejection (MBH) = (Tons x 12) + (kW x 3.415)
= (95.0 x 12) + (74 x 3.415)
= 1140 + 253
= 1393
5. Determine GPM condensing water as follows:
GPM Condenser Water =
Cond Water Range
MBH x2
6. From curves on pages 10 and 11, the pressure drops
with 200GPM through the cooler and 288 through the
condenser of the Model YCWS120SC
Cooler Pressure Drop at 200 GPM = 2.9ft
Condenser Pressure Drop at 288 GPM = 5.5ft
Tons = 110.3
KW = 86.2
EER = 15.4
Correcting for the 12ºF chilled water range and the 0.0005
condenser-fouling factor:
Tons= 110.3 x 1.0133 x 0.9961 = 111.3TR
KW= 86.2 x 0.9993 x 1.0065 = 86.7
The unit is suitable.
3. Determine the average full load kW and EER at 95.0
Tons
