This equipment is a relatively complicated apparatus.
During installation, operation, maintenance or service,
individuals may be exposed to certain components or
conditions including, but not limited to: refrigerants,
oils, materials under pressure, rotating components, and
both high and low voltage. Each of these items has the
potential, if misused or handled improperly, to cause
bodily injury or death. It is the obligation and respon-
sibility of operating/service personnel to identify and
recognize these inherent hazards, protect themselves,
and proceed safely in completing their tasks. Failure
to comply with any of these requirements could result
in serious damage to the equipment and the property in

When the compressor motor is driven by a YORK Solid
State Starter, one of three different Starters could be ap-
plied. Later production chillers are equipped with either
the Style B Liquid Cooled Solid State Starter (LCSSS)
or the Medium Voltage Solid State Starter (MVSSS).
Earlier vintage chillers are equipped with the Mod “A”
Solid State Starter. This starter contains a Trigger Board
that interfaces to a Logic Board that is installed inside of
the Control Center.
When the compressor motor is driven by a YORK Vari-
able Speed Drive, there could be a Variable Speed Drive
(VSD) or a Medium Voltage Variable Speed Drive (MV
VSD) applied.
In operation, a liquid (water or brine to be chilled) ows
through the cooler, where boiling refrigerant absorbs heat
from the liquid. The chilled liquid is then piped to fan
coil units or other air conditioning terminal units, where
it ows through nned coils, absorbing heat from the
air. The warmed liquid is then returned to the chiller to
complete the chilled liquid circuit.

FIG. 1 – MODEL YK MaxE™ CHILLER
SYSTEM OPERATION DESCRIPTION (SEE FIG. 2)
The YORK Model YK MaxE™ Chiller is commonly ap-
plied to large air conditioning systems, but may be used on
other applications. The chiller consists of an open motor
mounted to a compressor (with integral speed increasing
gears), condenser, evaporator and variable ow control.
The chiller is controlled by a modern state of the art Mi-
crocomputer Control Center that monitors its operation.
The Control Center is programmed by the operator to suit
job specications. Automatic timed start-ups and shut-
downs are also programmable to suit nighttime, week-
ends, and holidays. The operating status, temperatures,
pressures, and other information pertinent to operation
of the chiller are automatically displayed and read on
a graphic display. Other displays can be observed by
pressing the keys as labeled on the Control Center. The
chiller with the OptiView Control Center is applied with
an electro-mechanical starter, YORK Solid State Starter
(optional), or Variable Speed Drive (optional).

FORM 160.54-O1
The refrigerant vapor, which is produced by the boiling
action in the cooler, ows to the compressor where the
rotating impeller increases its pressure and temperature
and discharges it into the condenser. Water owing
through the condenser tubes absorbs heat from the refrig-
erant vapor, causing it to condense. The condenser water
is supplied to the chiller from an external source, usu-
ally a cooling tower. The condensed refrigerant drains
from the condenser into the liquid return line, where the
variable orice meters the ow of liquid refrigerant to the
cooler to complete the refrigerant circuit.
The major components of a chiller are selected to handle
the refrigerant, which would be evaporated at full load
design conditions. However, most systems will be called
upon to deliver full load capacity for only a relatively
small part of the time the unit is in operation.
7619A(D)
DETAIL A – COMPRESSOR PREROTATION VANES
CAPACITY CONTROL
The major components of a chiller are selected for full
load capacities, therefore capacity must be controlled
to maintain a constant chilled liquid temperature leav-
ing the cooler. Prerotation vanes (PRV), located at the
entrance to the compressor impeller, compensate for
variation in load (See Detail A).
The position of these vanes is automatically controlled
through a lever arm attached to an electric motor located
outside the compressor housing. The automatic adjust-
ment of the vane position in effect provides the perfor-
mance of many different compressors to match various
load conditions from full load with vanes wide open to
minimum load with vanes completely closed.
