1.1 General description of the unit
The YLCA/YLHA units are high-performance air-water chillers and heat pumps using R-410A ecological
refrigerant.
These units are designed for air conditioning or industrial applications that require cold or hot water.
They are silent and compact units, equipped with vertical air discharge axial fans, that can be installed
directly outdoors.
They are available in two versions: with and without a hydro kit, which includes a buffer tank and a high
head pressure pump.
The control system of these units is a specially programmed electronic controller to be used on air-water
chillers and heat pumps equipped with tandem compressors. Easy to use and safe, these units precision
control the water return temperature of the installation, carry out defrost cycles, modulate fan speeds
and control compressor, pump and electric heater start-up. By reading the control sensors and safety
elements, the controller protects the entire equipment against malfunctions. The system allows con‐
necting the unit to a standard RS485 monitoring network.
For further information, please see Operating Instructions.
The YLCA/YLHA units are made of proven quality components and manufactured in compliance with
standards in force (ISO 9001 certification).

1.1.2 Technical specifications
These units are supplied completely factory-assembled and with all refrigerant tubing and wiring ready
for installation on site. After mounting, these units must go through an operational test with water. Re‐
frigerant leaks will also be checked during this process.
Sheeting casing
The units are made of galvanized steel sheeting and anticorrosion nuts and bolts. Panels can be removed
for access to internal components. The casing parts are painted with white RAL9001 oven-baked poly‐
merized enamel.
Compressors
Two hermetic Scroll compressors mounted in tandem on rails and antivibratory supports are used (except
for model 40, which contains one single compressor). Both compressors are connected for operation
with one single cooling circuit. Start-up is carried out by two independent starters. These compressors
are equipped with mechanical elements that protect them against high operating temperatures. The sump
heaters operate only when the compressor is inoperative.
Indoor heat exchanger
Comprises a stainless steel plate exchanger, adequately insulated by a layer of closed-cell elastomer
foam. Includes an antifreeze heater monitored by the controller. The refrigerant side of said exchanger
accepts an operating pressure of 45 bar, whereas the water side accepts 10 bar. When the unit includes
a hydro kit, maximum admissible pressure on the water side is 6 bar (adjustment of the tank safety valve).
Outdoor heat exchanger
Made up of two notched aluminium blue fin coils and grooved copper tubing mechanically expanded
within the fin assembly.
Fans
Of the axial and low sound level type. Equipped with single-phase motors with IP54 protection. These
motors allow speed control by means of a phase cut-out shifter controlled by the unit controller. This
allows unit operation at low ambient temperatures (-10°C). On cool only units with an optional low ambient
temperature kit can reach ‑18°C. On heat pumps, the fan will remain inoperative during defrosting.
Electrical and control panel
Located at the front of the unit, and with IP44 protection. The operating and control components are
factory mounted, wired and tested. The door of this control panel is equipped with a locking isolator that
turns power supply off. Inside we find the contactors for compressors and the pump, the transformer,
magneto-thermal protectors, controller electronic plates, speed control, connecting strip and the key‐
board-display with the unit controls.
Control keyboard-display
This device is accessible through an external leak-tight plastic cover. This is an easy-to-use control with
three access levels: direct, user (password) and factory (password). For further information, please see
Operating Instructions.
Cooling circuit
The cool only unit cooling circuit includes: expansion valve, filter-dryer, liquid sight glass, high and low
pressure switches, service valves for isolating the condensing unit, and Schrader valves on the high and
low sides. The heat pump model also includes, in addition, a four-way valve (energized in summer cycle
and during defrosts), retaining valves, a heat cycle expansion valve and a liquid tank. The suction tubing
is coated with closed-cell elastomer.

the unit frame and does not increase the footprint of same. It includes the following components: Lined
buffer tank and with an antifreeze heater, centrifugal pump, expansion vessel charged with nitrogen at
1.5 bar, safety valve set to 6 bar, water circuit, pressure gauge, two air bleed valves, filling valve and
drain valve. Also includes a mesh filter for the water circuit. This filter is supplied loose for installation at
the most convenient point.
Flow switch
Assures sufficient water flow when the unit is in operation.
Protecting grids
To protect the coils from possible impacts. Made of steel rods and painted with oven baked polymerized
white enamel (RAL9001).

This includes the elements described in the previously mentioned specifications, less the hydro kit (pack).
The water circuit includes an air bleed valve. Connections are ready for on-site installation.
Two pumps
Accessory available with models 50 to 100 with hydro kit. The second pump becomes operative when
the magnetothermal protector of the first pump is activated (models 50, 60 and 80), or through the con‐
troller program (models 100, 120 and 150).
Water filter
Supplied as a standard element on units including the hydro kit. Stainless steel mesh with 1 mm. diameter
perforations. Optional on units not including the hydro kit. The warrantee of the unit will not be valid if a

Antivibratory supports
Whenever necessary to reduce vibrations and noise
produced by the unit to a maximum, a set of steel
spring antivibratory supports can be used. These
should be installed between the chassis support of the
unit and the base or floor on which it is to sit.
This base must be solid and dimensioned in accord‐
ance with the load to be supported.
The antivibratory support accessory for models YL‐
CA/YLHA 40, 50 and 60 includes 4 units, whereas for
models YLCA/YLHA 80, 100, 120 and 150 includes 6.
These spring supports should be distributed and fas‐
tened in the drilled holes at the base of the chiller, the
location of which is detailed in the General Dimen‐
sions section.
