INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This instruction describes the installation of a MODEL
YK MaxE Liquid Chilling Unit. This unit is shipped
as a single factory assembled, piped, wired package,
requiring a minimum of field labor to make chilled water
connections, condenser water connections, refrigerant
atmospheric relief connections, and electrical power
con nec tions. (Refrigerant and oil charges shipped
separately unless optional condensor isolation valves
are ordered.)
Chillers can also be shipped dismantled when required by
rigging conditions, but generally it is more economical
to enlarge access openings to accommodate the factory
assembled unit. Chillers shipped dismantled MUST
be field assembled under the supervision of a YORK
representative, but otherwise installation will be as
described in this instruction.
FIELD ASSEMBLED UNITS ONLY
Use Form 160.73-N3 in conjunction with this installation
instruction. This instruction will be furnished with all
units that are to be field assembled. Extra copies may
be ordered from the York Publication Distribution
Center.
The services of a YORK representative will be furnished
to check the installation, supervise the initial start-up
and operation of all chillers installed within Continental
United States.
The YORK Warranty may be voided
if the following restrictions are not
adhered to:
1. No valves or connections should be opened under
any circumstances because such action will result
in loss of the factory nitrogen charge.
2. Do not dismantle or open the chiller for any
reason except under the supervision of a YORK
representative.
3. When units are shipped dismantled, notify the
nearest YORK office in ample time for a YORK
rep re sen ta tive to supervise rigging the unit
to its op er at ing position and the as sem bly of
components.
4. Do not make final power supply connections to the
compressor motor or control center.
5. Do not charge the compressor with oil.
16
FORM 160.73-N1 (904)
6. Do not charge the unit with refrigerant.

DAM AGE IN SHIPMENT OR AT JOB SITE OR
LOSS OF PARTS. (Refer to Shipping Damage Claims,
Form 50.15-NM)
When received at the job site all containers should be
opened and contents checked against the packing list.
Any material shortage should be reported to YORK
immediately. (Refer to Shipping Damage Claims, Form
50.15-NM)
CHILLER DATA PLATE
A unit data plate is mounted on the control center
assembly of each unit, giving unit model number; design
working pressure; water passes; refrigerant charge;
serial numbers; and motor power characteristics and
connection diagrams.
Additional information may be found on the motor
data plate. This information should be included when
contacting the factory on any problem relating to the
motor.
RIGGING (See Fig. 8)
The complete standard chiller is shipped without skids.
(When optional skids are used it may be necessary to
remove the skids so riggers skates can be used under the
unit end sheets to reduce overall height.)
Each unit has four (4) lifting holes (two in each end) in
the end sheets which should be used to lift the unit.
Care should be taken at all times during rigging and
handling of the chiller to avoid damage to the unit and
its external connections. Lift only using holes shown
in Fig. 8.
Do not lift the unit with slings around
motor/com pres sor assembly or by
means of eyebolts in the tapped holes
of the compressor motor assembly. Do
not turn a unit on its side for rigging.
Do not rig vertically.

INSTALLATION
RIGGING UNIT TO FINAL LOCATION
Rig the unit to its final location on the floor or mounting
pad, lift the unit (or shell assembly) by means of an
overhead lift and lower the unit to its mounting position.
(If optional shipping skids are used, remove them before
lowering the chiller to its mounting position.)
At this point units shipped dismantled
should be assembled under the super-
vision of a YORK representative.
If evaporator is to be field insulated, the insulation should
be applied to the evaporator before the unit is placed in
position while the unit is in the lift position. Be sure unit
is properly supported. (See INSULATION, page 27.)
LOCATING AND INSTALLING ISOLATOR PADS
(REFER TO FIG. 9 OR 10)
The isolator pad mounts are to be located as shown in
Fig 9 or 10 ( Rubber side down).
After the isolator pads have been placed into position on
the floor, lower the chiller onto the pads. When the unit
is in place, remove the rigging equipment and check that
the unit is level. The unit should be level within 1/4"
(6 mm) from one end to the other end and from front
to the rear. If the chiller is not level within the amount
specified, lift it and place shims between the isolation
pad and the chiller tube sheets. (Shims furnished by
the installer.) Lower unit again and recheck to see that
it is level.
CHECKING THE ISOLATION PAD DEFLECTION
All isolation pads should be checked for the proper
deflection while checking to see if the unit is level.
Each pad should be deflected approximately 0.10 inchs
(2.5 mm) to 0.20 inchs (5 mm). If an isolation pad is
under-deflected, shims should be placed between the
unit tube sheet and the top of the pad to equally deflect
all pads.
LEVELING THE UNIT
The longitudinal alignment of the unit should be checked
by placing a level on the top center of the evaporator
shell under the compressor/motor assembly. Transverse
alignment should be checked by placing a level on top
of the shell end sheets.
YORK INTERNATIONAL
FORM 160.73-N1 (904)
INSTALLING OPTIONAL SPRING ISOLATORS
(REFER TO FIG. 11 OR 12)
When ordered, spring type isolator assemblies will be
furnished with the unit. The 4 assemblies are identical
and can be placed at any of the 4 corners of the unit.
While the unit is still suspended by the rigging, the
isolators should be bolted to the unit by inserting the
cap screw(s) through the hole(s) in the mounting bracket
into the tapped hole in the top of the isolator leveling
bolt(s). Then the unit can be lowered onto the floor.
The leveling bolts should now be rotated one (1) turn at
a time, in sequence, until the unit end sheets are clear
of the floor by the dimension shown in Fig. 11 or 12
and the unit is level. Check that the unit is level, both
longitudinally and transversely (see Leveling the Unit).
If the leveling bolts are not long enough to level unit
due to an uneven or sloping floor or foundation, steel
shims (grouted, if necessary) must be added beneath the
isolator assemblies as necessary.
After the unit is leveled, wedge and shim under each
corner to solidly support the unit in this position while
piping connections are being made, pipe hangers adjusted
and connections checked for alignment. Then the unit is
filled with water and checked for leaks. The leveling bolts
should now be finally adjusted until the wedges and shims
can be removed. The unit should now be in correct level
position, clear of the floor or foundation and without any
effect from the weight of the piping.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
After the unit is leveled (and wedged in place for optional
spring isolators) the piping connections may be made;
chilled water, condenser water and refrigerant relief. The
piping should be arranged with offsets for flexibility, and
adequately supported and braced independently of the
unit to avoid strain on the unit and vibration transmission.
Hangers must allow for alignment of pipe. Isolators (by
others) in the piping and hangers are highly desirable,
and may be required by specifications, in order to
effectively utilize the vibration isolation characteristics
of the vibration isolation mounts of the unit.
Check for piping alignment Upon completion of
piping, a connection in each line as close to the unit as
possible should be opened, by removing the flange bolts
or coupling and checked for piping alignment. If any of
the bolts are bound in their holes, or if the connection
23

springs are out of alignment, the misalignment must
be corrected by properly supporting the piping or by
applying heat to anneal the pipe.
If the piping is annealed to relieve
stress, the inside of the pipe must be
cleaned of scale before it is finally
bolted in place.
EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER WATER PIPING
The evaporator and condenser liquid heads of chiller
have nozzles which are grooved, suitable for welding
150 PSIG DWP flanges or the use of Victaulic couplings.
Factory mounted flanges are optional.
The nozzles and water pass arrangements are furnished
in accordance with the job requirements (see Product
Drawings) furnished with the job. Standard units are
designed for 150 PSIG DWP on the water side. If job
requirements are for greater than 150 PSIG DWP, check
the unit data plate before applying pressure to evaporator
or condenser to determine if the chiller has provisions
for the required DWP.
Inlet and outlet connections are identified by labels
placed adjacent to each nozzle.
Chilled Water
Foreign objects which could lodge in, or block flow
through, the evaporator and condenser tubes must be
kept out of the water circuit. All water piping must be
cleaned or flushed before being connected to the chiller
pumps, or other equipment.
EVAPORATOR
FIG. 13 SCHEMATIC OF A TYPICAL PIPING ARRANGEMENT
24
FORM 160.73-N1 (904)
Permanent strainers (supplied by others) are required
in both the evaporator and condenser water circuits to
protect the chiller as well as the pumps, tower spray
nozzles, chilled water coils and controls, etc. The
strainer must be installed in the entering chilled water
line, directly upstream of the chiller.
Water piping circuits should be arranged so that the
pumps discharge through the chiller, and should be
controlled as necessary to maintain essentially constant
chilled and condenser water flows through the unit at
all load conditions.
If pumps discharge through the chiller, the strainer may
be located upstream from pumps to protect both pump
and chiller. (Piping between strainer, pump and chiller
must be very carefully cleaned before start-up.) If pumps
are remotely installed from chiller, strainers should be
located directly upstream of the chiller.
Condenser Water Circuit
For proper operation of the unit, condenser refrigerant
pressure must be maintained above evaporator pressure.
If operating conditions will fulfill this requirement, no
attempt should be made to control condenser water
temperature by means of automatic valves, cycling of
the cooling tower fan or other means, since chillers are
designed to function satisfactorily and efficiently when
condenser water is allowed to seek its own temperature
level at reduced loads and off-peak seasons of the year.
However, if entering condenser water temperature can
go below the required minimum, (refer to 160.73-O1)
condenser water temperature must be maintained equal
to or slightly higher than the required minimum. Refer
to Fig. 13 for typical water piping schematic.

Stop Valves
Stop valves may be provided (by others) in the
evaporator and condenser water piping adjacent to the
unit to facilitate maintenance. Thermometer wells and
pressure taps should be provided (by others) in the piping
as close to the unit as possible to facilitate operating
check.
Flow Switches
Thermal type water flow switches are factory mounted in
the chilled and condensed water nozzles and are factory
wired to the OptiView control panel. These solid-state
flow sensors have a small internal heating element and
use the cooling effect of the flowing fluid to sense when
an adequate flow rate has been established.
Drain and Vent Valves
Drain and vent valves (by others) should be installed
in the connections provided in the evaporator and
condenser liquid heads. These connections may be
piped to drain if desired.
Checking Piping Circuits and Venting Air
After the water piping is completed, but before any water
box insulation is applied. Tighten and torque to maintain
between 30 and 60 ft. lbs. (41 and 81 Nm) the nuts on
the liquid head flanges. Gasket shrinkage and handling
during transit cause nuts to loosen. If water pressure is
applied before tightening is done, the gaskets may be
damaged and have to be replaced. Fill the chilled and
condenser water circuits, operate the pumps manually

and carefully check the evaporator and condenser water
heads and piping for leaks. Repair leaks as necessary.
Before initial operation of the unit both water circuits
should be thoroughly vented of all air at the high
points.
REFRIGERANT RELIEF PIPING
Each unit is equipped with pressure relief valves located
on the condenser and on the evaporator for the purpose
of quickly relieving excess pressure of the refrigerant
charge to the atmosphere as a safety precaution in case
of an emergency, such as fire.
Refrigerant relief vent piping (by others), from the relief
valves to the outside of the building, is required by code
in most areas and should be installed on all chillers. The
vent line should be sized in accordance with the ANSI/
ASHRAE-15, or local code. The vent line must include
a dirt trap in the vertical leg to intercept and permit clean
out and to trap any vent stack condensation. The piping
MUST be arranged to avoid strain on the relief valves,
using a flexible connection, if necessary.
UNIT PIPING
Compressor lubricant piping and system external piping
are factory installed on all units shipped assembled. On
units shipped dismantled, the following piping should
be completed under the supervision of the YORK
representative: (1) the lubricant piping to oil sump and
oil evaporator and system oil return connections using
material furnished. See Form 160.73-N3.
