YORK YCWL Water-Cooled chillers provide chilled water for all air conditioning applica-
tions that use central station air handling or terminal units. They are completely self-
contained and are designed for indoor (new or retrofit) installation. Each unit includes
hermetic scroll compressors, a liquid evaporator, water cooled condenser, and a user-
friendly, Microcomputer Control Center mounted on a rugged steel base. The units are
produced at an ISO 9001 registered facility. The YCWL chillers are rated in accordance
with AHRI Standard 550/590.
The chiller will be completely assembled with all interconnecting refrigerant piping and
internal wiring, ready for field installation.
The unit will be pressure-tested, evacuated, and charged with Refrigerant-410A, and York
‘V’ (POE) synthetic oil. There will be an operational test, with water flowing through the
evaporator, to check that each control device operates correctly.
The unit can be covered with an optional overspray coat of Caribbean Blue enamel. Units
are designed in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electric Code), ASHRAE/ANSI 15
Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration. All units are produced at an ISO 9001 regis-
tered facility. All YCWL chillers are rated in accordance with AHRI Standard 550/590 at
AHRI conditions.
COMPRESSORS
The chiller has suction-gas cooled, hermetic, scroll compressors. The YCWL compres-
sors incorporate a compliant scroll design in both the axial and radial direction. All rotating
parts are statically and dynamically balanced. A large internal volume provides greater
liquid tolerance. Compressor crankcase heaters are also included for extra protection
against liquid migration. All compressors are mounted on isolator pads to reduce trans-
mission of vibration to the rest of the unit.
EVAPORATOR
The dual-circuit evaporator will be the direct-expansion type, with refrigerant in the tubes
and chilled liquid flowing through the baffled shell. The design working pressure of the
shell (liquid) side will be 150 PSIG (10.3 bar), and 400 PSIG (27.6 bar) for the tube (re-
frigerant) side.
The evaporator will be constructed and tested in accordance with the applicable sections
of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VlII, Division (1). The water side will be ex-
empt per paragraph U-1, (C), (6).
The removable heads will allow access to the internally enhanced, seamless, copper
tubes. Vent and drain connections will be included. Nozzle connections are grooved to
accept ANSI/AWWA C-606 couplings.
The evaporator will be covered with 3/4” (19.1 mm) flexible, closed-cell, foam insulation
(K = 0.25).

CONDENSER
The condenser is a cleanable thru-tube type with steel shell, copper tubes, removable
water heads, and includes integral subcooling. The design working pressure of the shell
(refrigerant) side will be 560 PSIG (38.6 bar) and 150 PSIG (10.3 bar) for the tube (liquid)
side. The shell will be constructed and tested in accordance with section Vll, division 1
of the ASME pressure-vessel code. The water side is exempt per paragraph U-1, (C), (6)
of section VlII, division 1 of the ASME pressure-vessel code. The condenser is equipped
with relief valves and will hold the full refrigerant charge for pumpdown. Water connec-
tions are grooved to accept ANSI/AWWA C-606 couplings. Vent and drain connections
are included.
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Two independent refrigerant circuits will be furnished on each unit. All piping will be cop-
per with brazed joints. The liquid line will include: a shutoff valve with charging port; sight-
glass with moisture indicator; thermal expansion valve; solenoid valve; and high-absorp-
tion removable-core filter drier. The entire suction line and the liquid line between the
expansion valve and the cooler will be insulated with flexible, closed-cell, foam insulation.

Accessories and Options
All accessories and options are factory installed unless otherwise noted.
POWER OPTIONS
Single Point Supply Terminal Block - The standard power wiring connection on all mod-
els is a single point power connection to a factory provided terminal block. Components
included are the enclosure, terminal-block and interconnecting wiring to the compressors.
Separate external protection must be supplied, by others, in the incoming power wiring.
(Do not include this option if either the Single-Point Non-Fused Disconnect Switch or
Single-Point Circuit Breaker options have been included.)
Single Point Non-Fused Disconnect Switch - An optional unit-mounted disconnect switch
with external, lockable handle (in compliance with Article 440-14 of N.E.C.), can be supplied
to isolate the unit power voltage for servicing. Separate external fusing must be supplied,
by others in the power wiring, which must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or
local codes.
Single Point Circuit Breaker - An optional unit mounted circuit breaker with external, lock-
able handle (in compliance with N.E.C. Article 440-14), can be supplied to isolate the power
voltage for servicing.
Multiple Point Circuit Breaker – Optional multiple point supply with independent system
circuit breakers and locking external handles (in compliance with Article 440-14 of N.E.C)
can be factory supplied. Selecting this option also selects optional compressor external
overloads, for reduced MCA.
Control Transformer – Converts unit power voltage to 115-1-60 (0.5 or 1.0 KVA capacity).
Factory mounting includes primary and secondary wiring between the transformer and the
control panel.
Compressor External Overloads – Optional compressor motor overloads can be factory
mounted in the unit control/power panel. This option will reduce the chiller MCA (minimum
circuit ampacity) and allow for reduced wire sizing to the unit. This option is not available
for applications with Leaving Condenser Water Temperature (LCWT) greater than 110ºF
(43ºC).
CONTROLS OPTIONS

Differential Pressure Switch - An alternative option to the paddle-type flow switch. 3-45
PSIG (0.2-3 bar) range with ¼” NPTE pressure connections. (Field Mounted)
Pressure Vessel Codes - Evaporators and condensers are be supplied (Standard) in con-
formance with the A.S.M.E. pressure codes.
Flanges (ANSI/AWWA C-606 Couplings Type) – consists of flange adapters for grooved
end pipe on evaporator and condenser (note: the 0064HE and 0094SE units do not
include evaporator flanges, and the 0056SE, 0064SE, and 0074SE units do not include
condenser flanges). Standard 150 psi (10.3 bar). (Field-mounted, matching pipe
flange by contractor).
Double Thick Insulation – Double Thick (1-1/2”) insulation provided on the evaporator.
CHILLER OPTIONS
Final Paint Overspray - Overspray painting of unit after assembly. (Factory Paint)
Service Isolation Valve - Service suction isolation valve added to unit per system in addi-
tion to the standard discharge service valve.
Hot Gas By-Pass – Permits continuous, stable operation at capacities below the mini-
mum step of compressor unloading to as low as 5% capacity (depending on both the unit
and operating conditions) by introducing an artificial load on the evaporator. Hot gas by-
pass is installed on only refrigerant system #2 on two-circuited units.
Chicago Code Relief Valves – Unit will be provided with relief valves to meet Chicago code
requirements.
Compressor Acoustic Sound Blanket – Each compressor is individually enclosed by
an acoustic sound blanket. The sound blankets are made with one layer of acoustical
absorbent textile fiber of 5/8” (15mm) thickness; one layer of anti-vibrating heavy mate-
rial thickness of 1/8” (3mm). Both are closed by two sheets of welded PVC, reinforced for
temperature and UV resistance.
Non Reversing Heat Pump – Unit configured for optional operating mode controlled by
leaving condenser water temperature. Temperature setpoint user adjustable from 86°F –
122°F (30°C – 50°C), default 122°F (50°C). While operating in this mode, chiller will stage
compressors to maintain heating setpoint provided there is sufficient cooling demand.
Unit can be changed from heat pump to chiller mode locally or through BAS. Unit leav-
ing evaporator water temperature will float based on heating output while in this mode,
making this option ideal for applications that do not require a constant evaporator leaving
temperature or for multiple (series) chiller installations. Option requires factory startup
and adds one day startup labor for field configuration. Requires evaporator leaving tem-
perature above 40°F (4°C) while heat pump is in operation.

Refrigerant Flow Diagram
Low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator tubes and is evaporated and super-
heated by the heat energy absorbed from the chilled liquid passing through the evaporator
shell. Low-pressure vapor enters the compressor where pressure and superheat are in-
creased. High-pressure vapor is passed through the condenser 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 fur-
ther cooling take place. The low pressure liquid refrigerant then returns to the evaporator.

GUIDE TO SELECTION
Complete water chilling capacity ratings for YORK YCWL chillers are shown on the follow-
ing pages to cover the majority of job requirements. For any application beyond the scope
of this Engineering Guide, consult your nearest Johnson Controls office.
Selection Rules
1. Ratings - All YCWL ratings are in accordance with AHRI Standard 550/590, at the
AHRI standard conditions. Ratings not at standard AHRI conditions are rated in accor-
dance with AHRI rating procedures. These ratings may be interpolated but should not
be extrapolated.

2. Cooling Water Quantity - Ratings are based on 10ºF chilled water range with the
evaporator at sea level. Use the chilled water correction factors (below) for other
ranges except as limited by water pressure drop, minimum or maximum water ows
for the evaporator.

3. Condenser Water Quantity – Ratings are applicable from 2 to 4 GPM/Ton. Use
the condenser water correction factors (below) for different ranges except as limited
by water pressure drop or minimum or maximum water ows for the condenser. Us-
ing the heat rejection (MBH), the Condenser GPM is calculated as follows:
4. FOULING FACTORS – Ratings are based on 0.0001 evaporator and 0.00025 con-
denser fouling factor. For other fouling factors, consult the table below or contact
your Johnson Controls representative.

METHOD OF SELECTION
If the duty requires a 10ºF range on both the evaporator 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 (MBH) =
Heat Rejection (Btuh)
1000
= (Tons x 12) = (kW x 3.415)
3. Determine condensing water requirements for water cooled models as follows:

SAMPLE SELECTION
Water Cooled Chiller (YCWL)
GIVEN – Chill 200 GPM of water from 56ºF to 44ºF and 0.0001 evaporator fouling factor
with 85ºF to 95ºF condensing water available. The fouling factor is 0.0005 for the con-
denser.
FIND – The required unit size capacity, kW, EER, and water pressure drop.
SOLUTION:
1. Chilled water range = 56ºF - 44ºF = 12ºF and correction factors are 1.009 for Tons
and 1.001 for kW for the evaporator.
Capacity (Tons) =
GPM x Chilled Water Range
24
=
200 x 12
24
= 100TR
2. From the rating, a model YCWL01180SE has a capacity range required. For the
evaporator leaving water temperature of 44ºF and a condenser leaving water tem-
perature of 95ºF, the unit capacity rating table indicates:
Tons = 108.4
KW = 83.5
EER = 15.6
Correcting for the 12ºF chilled water range and the 0.0005 condenser-fouling fac
tor (Correction factors for the condenser are 0.995 for Tons and 1.010 for kW):
Tons = 108.4 x 1.009 x 0.995 = 108.8TR
KW = 83.5 x 1.001 x 1.010 = 84.4 kW
