Low pressure liquid/vapour refrigerant enters the cooler and is evaporated and superheated by the heat energy
absorbed from the chilled water passing through the cooler shell. Low pressure vapour enters the compressor
where pressure and superheat are increased. Heat is rejected via the air cooled condenser coil and fans. The fully
condensed and subcooled liquid refrigerant then enters the expansion valve where pressure reduction and further
cooling takes place before returning to the cooler.

The maintenance operations detailed in the following table should be carried out on a regular basis by a
suitably qualified Service Engineer. It should be noted that the interval necessary between each `minor’ and
`major’ service can vary depending on, for instance, application, site conditions and expected operating
schedule. Normally a `minor’ service should be carried out every three to six months and a `major’ service once
a year. It is recommended, however, that York Service is contacted for recommendations for individual sites.

There is no corrosion on the refrigerant side therefore in-service inspection on the refrigerant side is not necessary.
For the water side, if the water used is treated in accordance with Section 4.5, in-service inspection is not necessary.
In the design of the vessels used in the unit, a 1 mm corrosion allowance has been used to consider slight corrosion
on the water side. This allowance is sufficient to cover the lifetime of the unit.
York International believes that periodic in service proof testing (e.g.; hydro tests) is not required. However, York

Too much refrigerant in the oil. Check crankcase heater operation and output (current
should be in excess of 1 amp).
Check operation of expansion valve for liquid flooding
(especially during unloading steps).
Measured pressure incorrect. Check suction pressure transducer calibration and wiring.

Measured current is incorrect. Check for defective current transformer (resistance should
be between 58 and 68 Ohms).
Check calibration resistor is correctly fitted.

9.12 Clearances
The recommended clearances and dimensions are the distances between the edge of the units and the
architectural enclosure surrounding them. It is important that adequate space is available to ensure that air
discharged via the fans is not recirculated into the condenser coil intake, which would reduce the unit capacity.
The dimensions at the front and rear of the units allow for access to the control panel and for component removal.
The enclosure height should not exceed the height of the units except that only one adjacent wall may be higher than
the unit. Horizontal obstructions or overhangs should not be closer than 15 metres above the top of any unit and no
obstructions are allowed directly above the unit
