IntroductionFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 2INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONThis manual <strong>de</strong>scribes the installation of an IsoFlowabsorption chiller with the new style (internallycooled) circulation pumps. The unit is a completeself-contained, forced circulation refrigeration systemusing steam or hot water as the activation medium.De-ionized water is used as the refrigerant and lithiumbromi<strong>de</strong> solution is used as an absorbent. The systemconsists of a generator-con<strong>de</strong>nser shell mounted ontop of an absorber-evaporator shell. The system alsoutilizes a solution pump, refrigerant pump; purgepump, and interconnecting piping. See the Appendix Afor the location of the above listed components.For more <strong>de</strong>tailed information about <strong>de</strong>sign, specificationsor operation on the particular unit being installed,please contact your local YORK office.When using this manual, the installer should pay particularattention to the Safety Symbols: DANGER,WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE. These symbolsalert the installer of areas of potential hazard. For furtherexplanation, Refer to the Safety Symbols sectionat the beginning of this manual.The contractor is advised to become thoroughlyfamiliar with the installation requirements of theYORK IsoFlow <strong>Chiller</strong>. Careful study of the factorysubmittal drawing package and this manual is highlyrecommen<strong>de</strong>d. YORK representatives are available toanswer any questions and to coordinate <strong>de</strong>livery of theunit and the accessories.YORK must be advised by the contractor of thescheduled Start-Up time so that qualified personnel canbe ma<strong>de</strong> available on the Start-Up date. Complete the“INSTALLATION CHECK LIST AND REQUESTFOR AUTHORIZED START-UP ENGINEER” formfound in Appendix B and submit the form to YORK.A minimum of four weeks advance notice must beallowed to schedule a unit Start-Up and to have theLithium Bromi<strong>de</strong> Solution <strong>de</strong>livered to the jobsite.ADVANCED PREPARATION SITE SELECTIONIt is recommen<strong>de</strong>d the installer make a first-hand onsite, job site inspection to ensure a smooth installationprocess. Check all factory submittals and drawingsto verify unit clearances, overall dimensions andweight. Electrical requirements, steam or hot waterpressure and temperature, foundation dimensions, andfloor drains should also be verified before the chillerarrives.When selecting an installation site, consi<strong>de</strong>r structuralsupport, access of service and service equipment,overhead space, floor drains, and tube pulling space.Tube pull area is approximately equalto the length of the main shell.Follow standard engineering practices in <strong>de</strong>signing thepiping system and other services. See the Appendix fora listing of the unit rigging and operational weights.YORK does not recommend theIsoFlow unit to be installed outof doors. During unit operationthe ambient temperatures in theimmediate surrounds of the unit mustnot become lower than 35°F (1.67°C)or above 104°F (40°C).The equipment room must be enclosed, well lighted,and properly ventilated. Relative humidity in theequipment room must never reach the saturationpoint.UNIT CLEARANCESCon<strong>de</strong>nsation of moisture may causecorrosion and damage to electricalcomponents.The minimum recommen<strong>de</strong>d UNIT clearances arelisted in the following Table. If the site selection failsto meet these minimums, contact the local YORKoffice for special consi<strong>de</strong>rations.10 YORK INTERNATIONAL

For unit overall dimensions refer to YORKInternational forms 155.16-PA1.1 and 155.16-PA1.2.FOUNDATIONIn many situations IsoFlow units are set on concretehousekeeping pads to help with machine roomcleanliness. These foundations are usually ma<strong>de</strong> ofconcrete with a compressive strength rating of not lessthan 4000 psi and are able to support the full operatingweight of the unit. (See the Appendix “A” for tableswithin this document for specifi c unit weights). Wheninstalling a concrete foundation, use steel to reinforcethe concrete and finish the surface smoothly. Theconcrete foundation pad must be level within .25 inches(6.35mm) at all contact surface locations of the unit tothe pad. Where equipment headroom allows, it maybe<strong>de</strong>sirable to elevate the portions of the housekeepingpad just where the chiller’s mounting feet are. Thiswill provi<strong>de</strong> additional clearance un<strong>de</strong>r the unit formaintenance and cleaning purposes. For foundationsizes, footprints and unit dimensions, See YORKInternational forms 155.16-PA1.1 and 155.16-PA1.2.UNIT SHIPMENTSThere are two types of shipments for the YORK Iso-Flow units, One-piece or two-piece. Mo<strong>de</strong>l sizes 1A1through 10E3 are shipped standard in one piece (completelyassembled). Mo<strong>de</strong>l sizes 12F1 through 14F3are shipped in two separate sections, which requirefield assembly at the jobsite.Unit Mo<strong>de</strong>ls 12F1 through 14F3 are assembled at thefactory for fit-up then separated for shipment. TheCon<strong>de</strong>nser/Generator top shell is one piece and theAbsorber/Evaporator bottom shell is the other.An option is available to have any size unit ship asa two-piece, if specified at the time of factory or<strong>de</strong>rsubmittal. However, if the unit mo<strong>de</strong>l is smaller thana 12F1, the unit will ship as one-piece but will beseparable at the jobsite, for a two-piece rig into thebuilding.Shipments outsi<strong>de</strong> of North America will normally beshipped without a solution and refrigerant charge. Theshells will have a nitrogen holding charge. All otherunit shipments will normally be uncharged and in avacuum.All split ship (two-piece) units will be shipped witha nitrogen holding charge.Depending on the unit shipping instructions, therewill usually be two woo<strong>de</strong>n crates of ship looseitems inclu<strong>de</strong>d with the unit shipment. One cratewill contain miscellaneous unit materials necessary tocomplete the unit re-assembly and or start-up. For anitemized listing of what is inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the ship looseitems, see the “Ship Loose Items List” found in YORKform 155.16-RP3. The other crate will contain a unitcontrol valve, if or<strong>de</strong>red with the unit.SOLUTION AND REFRIGERANT SHIPMENTNorth America and Canada or<strong>de</strong>rs. YORK FactoryCustomer Service will place an or<strong>de</strong>r with the solutionsupplier and send a release form to the local YORKservice office responsible for the chiller start-up.The local YORK Service office is then responsiblefor completing and forwarding the release form tothe solution/refrigerant supplier 2 weeks before theyrequire shipment.2YORK INTERNATIONAL 11

If the solution and refrigerantis purchased with the unit, YORK Factory CustomerService will place an or<strong>de</strong>r with the solution/refrigerantsupplier. The solution and refrigerant will ship inbarrels with the chiller to the port for packaging andconsolidation. If the solution and refrigerant were notor<strong>de</strong>red with the unit, the local YORK Service officewould be responsible for obtaining this.INITIAL INSPECTION OF UNITSee Appendix B of this document for a “ReceivingInspection Checklist”. This document must be fi lledout during the initial inspection and given to the localYORK Service offi ce upon completion. It is advisableto have a YORK Service Technician on site during theinitial unit inspection process.The unit should be checked on the trailer or rail carwhen received and before unloading, for any visiblesigns of damage. Any signs of damage or possibledamage must be reported to the transportationcompany immediately! Negating this step if unitis damaged during transit could result in the unitwarranty being void!YORK will not be responsible forany unit damage during shipmentor at the jobsite during installationor rigging.Make sure all pieces of the shipment, such as boxesand crates are received with the unit. The solution andrefrigerant charge is usually not part of the initial unitshipment; normally these materials must be or<strong>de</strong>red byrequisition, contact the local YORK office when thesematerials are required.If the unit is a one-piece shipment, a pressure gaugewill be mounted directly off the unit’s Purge Systemline on the lower shell. If a two-piece shipment isreceived, an additional pressure gauge will be installedat one of the pipe closure plates on the upper shell.The gauge(s) must either read a vacuum or a pressure<strong>de</strong>pending on the type of shipment. If any gauge(s)indicates “0”, notify the local YORK Service officeimmediately. Bring the unit into the building as soonas possible after it has been off loa<strong>de</strong>d.A “Field Material Catalog” can be found in with theunit’s ship loose parts. This catalog is a pictorial listingof all parts that were shipped with the unit before itleft the YORK factory. Use this catalog along withthe unit’s package list to i<strong>de</strong>ntify and <strong>de</strong>termine if allship loose items arrived with the unit. Any missing ordamaged ship loose items must be reported to thelocal YORK Service immediately!12 YORK INTERNATIONAL

Unit RiggingFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 3UNIT RIGGINGUn<strong>de</strong>r no circumstances shouldthe unit internals be opened to theatmosphere during the riggingoperation.If the unit has skids, remove them before setting theunit into its final position. If the unit is to receiveneoprene pads, set the unit squarely on the pads asshown below.ONE-PIECE UNIT LIFTSSee Appendix A in this document for complete andpartial unit weights.When lifting the complete unit, use a sprea<strong>de</strong>r barequal to or greater in length as the unit. Keep thechains vertical! Attach the chains at the Absorber/Evaporator endsheets lifting holes as shown in Fig.4.DO NOT lift a one-piece unit from asingle point as shown in Fig. 5. Damageto the external unit componentsmay occur.Care should be used at all times during the rigging andhandling of the unit to avoid damage to any projectingbrackets, pipes, fittings, or any apparatus. Thesecomponents may be damaged un<strong>de</strong>r the weight of theunit when lifted. Keep the unit Horizontal and levelat all times.Do not rig the unit in a vertical position,the unit must be kept horizontalduring the entire rigging operation!The unit is not <strong>de</strong>signed to be in avertical position. Internal unit damageand/or personal injury may result.Do not attempt to lift the complete unitvia the holes located in the top shell!These holes are plugged at the factory– Do not unplug these holes for anyreason! Lifting from these holes willnot support the entire weight of theunit and personal injury and/or unitdamage will result!*Compressed Thickness of Isolation Pad AssemblyFIG. 1 – UNIT NEOPRENE PADSLD00936TWO-PIECE UNITSSee Appendix A in this document for complete andpartial unit weights.All units have the option of being a two-piece unit. Thismeans the unit will ship in one piece but will allow forseparation at the jobsite for a two-piece rigging into thebuilding. Some of the larger mo<strong>de</strong>l units, due to theirphysical size, always ship in two pieces, these units aremo<strong>de</strong>l sizes 12F1 through 14F3.When lifting the bottom shell of the unit, attach thechains at the Evaporator/Absorber endsheets liftingholes as shown in Fig. 6.When lifting the top shell of the unit, attach thechains at the Con<strong>de</strong>nser/Generator endsheets liftingholes as shown in Fig. 7.Care should be used at all times during the rigging andhandling of the unit to avoid damage to any projectingbrackets, pipes, fittings, or any apparatus. These componentsmay be damaged un<strong>de</strong>r the weight of the unitwhen lifted. Keep the unit Horizontal and level atall times.14 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)Do not rig the unit in a vertical position,the unit must be kept horizontal duringthe entire rigging operation! Theunit is not <strong>de</strong>signed to be in a verticalposition. Internal unit damage and/orpersonal injury may result.Place the lower shell on the foundation pad. Disconnectany skidding from the upper shell and rig usingsprea<strong>de</strong>r bar and hooks into the end sheets holes. Hoistthe top shell assembly into position above the bottomshell assembly. Refer to Figure 2.Make sure the ends of the top shell assembly are in thecorrect orientation. See note below.Match i<strong>de</strong>ntification numbers arestamped on each shell end sheet. Donot mismatch the upper and lowershell assemblies!The insi<strong>de</strong> end sheets of the top and lowershells have a mounting angle bracket with mountingholes installed at the factory. Using two tapered pins(supplied by others) at opposite corners, align thebrackets and carefully set the top shell on the lowershell. Install the four factory supplied bolts and nuts tohold the shell assemblies in place. Refer to Figure 2.(6.35mm) at all four unit contact locations with thepad. If the concrete foundation pad is not level withinYORK’s requirements, metal shims may be placedbetween the bottom of the unit feet and the concretepad to compensate. Do not place any shims betweenthe top shell and the lower shell.Steam UnitsWhether the unit is shipped as a one-piece or two-piece,the mounding feet on the lower shell at the steam inletend are 1/2" (12.7 mm) thicker than the mounting feetat the steam outlet end. The steam inlet end is alwayson the right when looking at the unit control panel.This <strong>de</strong>sign allows for generator tube drainage duringunit operation in the event of wet steam.Hot Water UnitsThere is no inclination on hot water units. Unitlevelness can be checked by placing a level on the topshell for longitudinal alignment and on the top surfaceof the end sheets for transverse alignment.Neoprene PadsYORK IsoFlow units are quiet and operate free ofvibration. Normally the unit will not require fastenersinto the concrete to hold the unit in place. YORK doesoffer neoprene isolator pads to set the unit on if theunit is going to be installed in an area where even mildnoise would be objectionable. If the unit is to set onneoprene pads, the unit mounting feet must make directcontact with the neoprene. If shims must be used, theymust be placed between the concrete and the neoprenepad. Please keep in mind that total pad compressionwill not take place until the unit is fully charged withsolution and refrigerant and each tube bundle section iscompletely filled with fluid.3Mounting AnglesFIG. 2 – MOUNTING ANGLESLD09452UNIT LEVLING AND MOUNTINGYORK IsoFlow units do not have any leveling markson the unit. Do not attempt leveling the unit bycorresponding locations on the unit.Leveling is accomplished by setting the unit on aflat, level surface of the foundation pad as <strong>de</strong>scribedin SECTION 2, “Foundation” in this document.The foundation pad must be level within .25 inchesFloor to be level within 1/4" (6.35 mm). Place optional isolation padssquarely un<strong>de</strong>r all four unit feet. No bolting to fl oor required. Approximateheight after <strong>de</strong>fl ection is 3/4" (19 mm).FIG. 3 – ISOLATION PADSLD00936YORK INTERNATIONAL 15

Unit Re-AssemblyFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 4UNIT RE-ASSEMBLYTWO-PIECE SHIPMENTSUnits shipped in two pieces require field welding toreconnect the piping between the upper and lowershells.Notify the local YORK ServiceOffice before proceeding with theunit re-assembly. Do not open theunit to expose the interior surfacesto atmospheric conditions unless aYORK Service Technician is present.YORK must provi<strong>de</strong> guidance andsupervision during the welding, reassembly,and leak check process.All YORK units are shipped in eithera vacuum or a nitrogen holdingpressure. The YORK ServiceTechnician can instruct how to bringthe unit to atmospheric pressure.Do not open the unit to atmosphericpressure without YORK’s guidance.YORK factory installs pressure gauges on each shellsection (total 2 for each unit). These gauges will indicatewhether the unit is in a vacuum or pressure. Two-pieceunit shipments will always be pressurized.PURGEDRUMFIG. 8 - BREAKING UNIT PRESSUREPROCEDURES:U-TUBEMANOMETERLD100741. Open the service valves and read the pressure.2. Close the service valves and remove the factorysuppliedpressure gauge.3. After the gauge has been removed, slowly open theservice valves again to discharge the pressure fromthe shells.For safety reasons, do not openthe valves to a complete full openposition.BREAKING THE UNIT PRESSUREThere are two standard forms of shipment for YIAunits: one piece or two-piece (sometimes called,Split Shipment).

Unit Water PipingFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 5UNIT WATER PIPINGUNIT WATER PIPINGOnce the unit is placed on the foundation pad and leveledaccording to YORK’s recommendations, the customer’spiping connections may be fitted to the unit.YORK International does not mandate that any specificpiping co<strong>de</strong>s be followed for the unit’s water pipingfabrication. However good piping practices shouldbe followed for best results. YORK recommends theresponsible parties for the piping fabrication check tomake sure all, if any, local co<strong>de</strong>s be followed during thesystem piping fabrication.The absorber, evaporator and con<strong>de</strong>nser tube bundlescome from the factory rated for 150 PSIG (10 Bar)<strong>de</strong>signed working pressure (DWP) on the tubesi<strong>de</strong> ofthe bundle. The water connections (nozzles) will be apipe stub suitable for Victaulic couplings or welding.Tube bundles can also be specially or<strong>de</strong>red for 300 PSIG(21 Bar) DWP. Also, raised faced, ANSI flanges for thewater connections can be supplied if or<strong>de</strong>red with theunit. When flanges are specified, they are selected inaccordance with the <strong>de</strong>sign pressure of the vessel.The nozzle diameter is based on the customer’srequirements. The local YORK Sales office can provi<strong>de</strong>information on the sizes of the nozzles, the DWP of thevessel and whether or not the unit will have flanges, ifnot known.GENERATOR NOZZLE CONNECTIONSRefer to the following tables for the unit’s generatorDWP and nozzle connections.

FORM 155.16-N3 (904)All unit system piping must be arranged with offsetsfor flexibility and movement. All piping must befabricated so that water box removal can be facilitate<strong>de</strong>asily. Installing a set of flanges close to the water boxnozzles may do this. All piping must be a<strong>de</strong>quatelysupported and braced in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly of the unit toavoid strain on the unit and vibration transmission.Hangers must allow for alignment of pipe. Isolators(supplied by others, if required) in the piping are notnecessary but may be <strong>de</strong>sirable in some cases.PIPING COMPONENTSWells For SensorsVarious temperature and pressure sensors are requiredfor building and tower water circuits. Please make sureboth the supply and return lines to the unit have theseconnections installed. Seek the advice of the systemspiping engineer if uncertain about the proper locationor sizing of these wells.Chilled Water Flow SwitchA chilled water flow switch is supplied as a ship looseitem from the factory. This <strong>de</strong>vise can be found amongthe unit’s shipped loose parts. It is recommen<strong>de</strong>d thatthe flow switch be installed in the leaving chilled waterline (as <strong>de</strong>picted in the following figure). YORK highlyrecommends the mounting of this switch in a horizontallength of pipe with the switch in a vertical position. Itis NOT recommen<strong>de</strong>d to mount the flow switch in avertical pipe with an upward flow due to the fact thatminimum flow may not be substantial enough to liftthe switches paddle. Please see the following figure foradditional assembly and installation gui<strong>de</strong>lines of this<strong>de</strong>vice.Tower Water (Con<strong>de</strong>nser) Flow SwitchThis switch may or may not be supplied by the factorybut it is required for proper unit operation.

Unit Water PipingFORM 155.16-N3 (904)Differential Pressure ControlDifferential pressure control may be substituted in theplace of a flow switch. YORK has options for this type ofcontrol if the <strong>de</strong>vice is not purchased locally. Differentialcontrol serves the same function as a flow switch – toensure that flow is established for chiller operation. Thisis accomplished by <strong>de</strong>termining a difference betweentwo sample points in the chiller’s water piping, usuallynear the inlet and outlet of a heat exchanger bundle. Itis very important that the pressure differential switchbe installed as close to the heat exchanger bundle aspossible so that only the pressure difference across thebundle is sensed. Do not put the pressure differentialswitch across the suction and discharge of a heatexchanger pump. Doing so may not absolutely ensureflow across the chiller bundle due to other piping valvesthat could be closed.Another important aspect to remember when using apressure differential switch is to ensure both the samplepoints are on the same elevation with each other. If oneconnection to the control is higher than the other, staticpressure becomes a factor in reading total differentialacross the switch. In this condition, the control couldpossibly read a difference in pressure even when noflow is present.StrainersPermanent strainers (supplied by others) are required inboth the tower water and chilled water circuits to protectthe chiller water bundles and controls. The strainershould be a #10 mesh and be installed in the enteringwater piping line, directly upstream of the chiller. Waterpiping circuits should be arranged so that the pumpsdischarge to maintain essentially constant chilled andtower water flows through the unit at all load conditions.If pumps discharge through the chiller, the strainer maybe located upstream from the pumps to protect bothpump and chiller. If pumps are remotely installed fromchiller, strainers should be located directly upstream ofthe chiller.Unit Crossover LineThe crossover line is a unit-mounted line that is the samediameter as the tower water (con<strong>de</strong>nser) water lines.It serves the purpose of transferring the tower waterfrom the outlet of the absorber bundle to the inlet ofthe con<strong>de</strong>nser bundle. THIS LINE IS ALWAYS FIELDFABRICATED. Others must obtain all fabricationmaterials. In some rare cases, the factory can supplythis line but it must be or<strong>de</strong>red as a special at the timewhen the chiller is or<strong>de</strong>red.YORK recommends the following for fabrication of theUnit Crossover line:1. The arrangement of this line must be ma<strong>de</strong> so thateasy access to the bundle tubes can be accomplished.For every time the Absorber/Con<strong>de</strong>nser tube bundlegets cleaned, this line must be removed.2. The crossover line should be positioned so that theevaporator water boxes can be removed withoutremoval of this line. This may not be possible insome cases.3. The crossover line must be fabricated so that thepressure drop across the line is kept to an absoluteminimum! The average pressure drop shouldbe 1 psi or less. The following tips are suggestedto accomplish this:a. Use butt-wel<strong>de</strong>d connections. Do not useVictaulic connections other than at the unitnozzles.b. If the absorber and con<strong>de</strong>nser nozzles are notthe same size, use a gradual reducer. Do not gofrom one diameter size to another abruptly!c. Use long radius elbows if possible.d. Make the line as short as possible.e. Do not use back-up welding rings.f. Use the couplings on the absorber outlet boxand con<strong>de</strong>nser inlet box to check the pressuredrop across the line.The <strong>de</strong>sign working pressure rating on the crossoverline must be the same pressure rating as the remain<strong>de</strong>rof the tower water system piping.Tower Water (Con<strong>de</strong>nser) Bypass ValveThis valve is sometimes referred to as a three-waymixing valve. This valve is not a requirement, due tothe fact that IsoFlow units are capable of operating withentering tower water temperatures down to 45°F (7.2°C).However, YORK recommends installing this valve ifefficient chiller operation is <strong>de</strong>sired. See Detail “A” onFig 13 for piping.The valve functions to keep a constant tower watertemperature to the absorption unit. It does this bymonitoring the tower water temperature just beforeentering the unit via an attached temperature sensor.28 YORK INTERNATIONAL

If any of the bolts are bound in theirholes, or if the connection springs out of alignment, themisalignment must be corrected by properly supportingthe piping or by applying heat to the anneal the pipe.If piping is annealed to relieve stress,the insi<strong>de</strong> of the pipe must be cleanedof scale before it is finally bolted inplace.Foreign objects that could lodge in, or block flowthrough the chiller’s tubes must be cleaned or flushedbefore being connected to the chiller pumps, or otherequipment. Furthermore, when flushing the water piping,DO NOT flush through the chiller tubes. Make surethe chiller is out of the circuit when doing this operation.Otherwise, dirt, small particles and fabrication <strong>de</strong>brismay become lodged in the chiller bundles.All chiller water piping must beproperly cleaned and flushed beforeputting the unit into service!YORK will not be held responsiblefor failures or damages of any kindto the chiller or the piping due toconstruction <strong>de</strong>bris in the chiller tubesand unit piping.SYSTEM PUMP CONTROLSince absorption chillers require a dilution cycle of anunpredictable amount of time, it is important that theunit’s control panel control the operation of the chilledwater and Absorber/Con<strong>de</strong>nser water pumps.YORK INTERNATIONAL 29


Unit Water PipingFORM 155.16-N3 (904)YORK’s prescribed method to employ pump control isto hardwire the pump starter control circuit through theappropriate contacts on the relay board.Should a customer insist on using another <strong>de</strong>vice suchas an Energy Management System (EMS) to control thepumps, that <strong>de</strong>vice must turn on and off as a result of thisdirect interface with the contacts on the relay board.If there is a <strong>de</strong>sire to interface the pumps with some<strong>de</strong>vice other than the unit control panel, that <strong>de</strong>vice mustreceive its instructions from the control panel and notfrom the EMS.YORK will not be responsible for anycosts associated with equipment problems,failures or damage due to YORKnot controlling the system pumps.Failure to adhere to the instructionsgiven in this section could result inevaporator tube freeze-up and unitcrystallization.As a minimum, the customer must monitor the drycontacts in the unit’s control panel and control his pumpsin response to these contacts opening and closing.30 YORK INTERNATIONAL

The generator tubesi<strong>de</strong> will be ASMEco<strong>de</strong>d unless otherwise indicated on the factory or<strong>de</strong>rsubmittal.Since generator nozzle connections can vary, referto the Unit Water Piping section of this document to<strong>de</strong>termine which type of connection is supplied onyour unit.Steam piping should be <strong>de</strong>signed inaccordance with good engineeringpractice. All field installed steampiping must be in accordance withall local, state, or fe<strong>de</strong>ral co<strong>de</strong>s thatmay apply.The steam inlet piping support system must becapable to a<strong>de</strong>quately support the full weight of allpiping and components in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt of the unit. Thesupport system must account for the expansion andcontraction of the steam piping. No imposing forcesor strains are to be on the generator inlet nozzle.All piping must be fabricated so that water boxremoval can be facilitated easily. If your unit’sgenerator nozzles are not supplied with flanges fromthe factory, a set of flanges installed in the steampiping close to the generator inlet will satisfy thisrequirement.INLET STEAM CONDITIONSPressureThe main steam supply may be either low-pressuresteam or high-pressure steam that is reduced to a lowpressure via a pressure reducing station or other process.The preferred steam quality is dry and saturated(D&S) with minimal superheat. The generator is <strong>de</strong>signedfor latent heat transfer, increasing the sensibleheat by allowing higher steam temperatures will provi<strong>de</strong>little, if any, performance improvement. Sincesteam saturation pressure corresponds to a specifictemperature, an IsoFlow chiller’s available capacitywill vary greatly with the steam pressure at the inlet tothe generator. Steam pressure into the inlet nozzle of thegenerator should not exceed 14.0 PSIG (1.0 bar). Steamsupply pressure upstream of the unit control valve mustnot exceed 16.0 PSIG (2.1 bar). This will allow for atypical pressure drop through the control valve of 2.0psi (13.8 kPa). All pipe <strong>de</strong>sign and fabrication must bedone so the pressure drop is kept to a minimum.Generator operating pressure may notexceed the specified unit operatingpressure. Un<strong>de</strong>r no circumstances maythe chiller operate with steam pressureexceeding 14.0 psig (1.0 barG)! Doingso will over fire the unit and cause operationalproblems as well as shortenthe unit’s longevity!FlowSteam flow is equally important as steam pressure. Flowis usually measured in pounds per hour (lb/hr) or (liters/min). Each YORK IsoFlow chiller is rated at a specificsteam flow and pressure at time of unit selection. Itis very important that these values are maintainedthroughout the operational lifetime of the unit. Notadhering to this specification will drastically affectthe performance and longevity of the chiller.Consi<strong>de</strong>ration should be given to the steam flowvelocity, especially in applications where noise will be afactor. Generally speaking, steam velocities up to 6,000fpm (30 m/s) will not produce an objectionable noiselevel.Steam PurityIt is the responsibility of the customer to engage theservices of an experienced and reputable steam /con<strong>de</strong>nsate treatment specialist to constantly maintainthe purity. Improperly treated or maintained steam /con<strong>de</strong>nsate will result in <strong>de</strong>creased efficiency, highoperation costs and premature tube failure due to steam/ con<strong>de</strong>nsate si<strong>de</strong> corrosion.Steam/con<strong>de</strong>nsate samples should be collected andanalyzed on at least a monthly basis by the treatmentspecialist.

The steam inlet pipingshould avoid sharp curves and abrupt piping sizechanges. Whenever possible, the steam supply lineto the unit should be taken off the main steam supplyline from the topsi<strong>de</strong> to minimize the possibilityof con<strong>de</strong>nsate carry-over into the unit. Both steamsupply and con<strong>de</strong>nsate pipes must be properly sizedand pitched to prevent liquid hammering. YORKrecommends a straight length of pipe approximately 5to 10 pipe diameters long just before the steam entersthe generator.INLET PIPING COMPONENTS<strong>Manual</strong> Block ValveThe <strong>Manual</strong> Block Valve is required to manuallyshut off steam supply to all <strong>de</strong>vices downstream forserviceability (refer to Figure 17). This valve is oftenclosed during prolonged chiller shutdown periods toprevent steam flow into the generator bundle.

When selecting a pressure-reducing valve, itshould be sized on the basis of the pressure drop at theunit’s full load <strong>de</strong>sign steam conditions. Do not sizethis valve based solely on the pipe size. The valvemust be suitable for <strong>de</strong>ad-end service.The pressure-reducing valve should be provi<strong>de</strong>d withstop valves and pressure gauges on both the inlet andoutlet si<strong>de</strong>s of the valve. A full size bypass with a globevalve will permit manual operation during maintenanceperiods.Two pressure reducing valves; one large and one small,piped in parallel may be <strong>de</strong>sirable for those applicationswith continued operation at low loads or where highlyvariable upstream pressures exist. The smaller valvewould be set at a slightly higher pressure than thelarge valve so it will stay open at low flow rates whilethe larger valve closes, thus protecting the seat of thelarger valve. The use of a two-step steam pressurereduction method may be <strong>de</strong>sirable on applicationswith pressure differentials in excess of 100 psig (8.0bar A). Furthermore, the noise generation in a singlestep pressure reduction system may be objectionable.Steam StrainerA fine mesh steam strainer (#50 mesh) is used tocapture any impurities in the steam supply line. Theseimpurities may manifest themselves in the form ofdirt, rust, or precipitates. This strainer will preventthe chiller system components form getting plugged.Plugged components will reduce system capacity andincrease maintenance costs. A pressure gauge must beinstalled just before and after the steam strainer. If thepressure drop as read from these two gauges increasesto an unacceptable level, the steam strainer should beremoved and cleaned.Steam Desuperheater (If Applicable)Latent heat at saturation temperature is much larger thanthe sensible heat that is extracted when superheatedsteam cools down. Therefore, superheated steam haslittle benefit to the absorption process. For this reasonsuperheated steam should be kept to a minimum.In some applications, high-pressure steam expandingthrough a pressure-reducing valve can be at an un<strong>de</strong>sirablehigh temperature, which is not recommen<strong>de</strong>dfor use in the absorption process. In these cases a <strong>de</strong>superheatermust be incorporated to reduce the steamtemperature before entering the unit.Damage to the unit and/or chillerwarranty will be VOID if the steamtemperature exceeds YORK’s specifiedrecommendations.The <strong>de</strong>superheater must be located downstream of thepressure reducing valve, if one is utilized. The flow ofcoolant to the <strong>de</strong>superheater should be automaticallycontrolled to maintain a constant steam supplytemperature to the absorption unit within the <strong>de</strong>signlimits specified. Suitable automatic means shouldbe provi<strong>de</strong>d to remove any con<strong>de</strong>nsate that mayaccumulate within the <strong>de</strong>superheater. This task couldalso be accomplished by a steam separator locateddownstream of the <strong>de</strong>superheater. Care should be takento ensure that the <strong>de</strong>superheater is installed accordingto the manufacturer’s recommendations.Steam SeparatorAll IsoFlow absorption chillers must operate with onlydry steam entering the generator section. Wet steamwill lessen the heating content of the steam, whichin turn will affect unit performance. Wet steam mayalso cause excess tube erosion or water hammer. Bothof these conditions could be <strong>de</strong>trimental to generatortubes or steam piping components. If dry stream can besupplied to the chiller with minimal superheat, it maynot be necessary to install a steam separator. In caseswhere a <strong>de</strong>superheater is utilized and the <strong>de</strong>superheaterdoes not automatically remove liquid con<strong>de</strong>nsate, asteam separator must be installed.The steam separator is installed in the steam supply linedownstream of the <strong>de</strong>superheater. It is used to separateany liquid present in the steam after leaving the<strong>de</strong>superheater and before entering the unit. All trappedcon<strong>de</strong>nsate liquid should normally be piped through asteam trap before going back to the con<strong>de</strong>nsate tank.The steam trap will prevent any steam from blowingthrough the separator into the con<strong>de</strong>nsate returnsystem. The use of a steam separator and trap willensure only dry steam to enter the unit at all times38 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)Automatic Shut-Off Valve (4SOL)(If Applicable)This valve may not be necessary for all IsoFlow units.It is only recommen<strong>de</strong>d if the unit is steam-fired andDOES NOT have a spring-return, fail-closed controlvalve .If a power failure occurs, a non-spring return unitcontrol valve will remain in whatever position ithappened to be in at the time of the power failure.However, at the same time the automatic shut-offvalve will close due to the power loss. Since the steamboiler will emit steam for an un<strong>de</strong>termined period oftime. This valve will prevent the steam from enteringthe unit, protecting it from crystallization during thisperiod. Please see the note in this section for moreinfo.As stated above, this valve is recommen<strong>de</strong>d by YORKto help protect the unit from crystallization. It is un<strong>de</strong>rthe discretion of the customer or his representative tosupply and install this valve. The valve type is notcritical as long as it meets the following.The Valve’s size is usually the same size as the steaminlet line; however, sizing <strong>de</strong>termination must bebased upon the steam system <strong>de</strong>sign, application andcondition. Valve wiring will originate in unit-mountedjunction box 3, (JB3) terminals 2 & 5. The coil shouldbe 120 volts, 60 Hz, a transient suppressor must bewired in parallel with the coil. Maximum allowablecurrent draw is 1 amp holding, 10 amps inrush. Pleasesee YORK wiring form 155.16-W4 for more <strong>de</strong>tailson the wiring and voltage. The valve must be a NC,bubble-tight (100% tight shut off), <strong>de</strong>signed to keepthe pressure drop through the valve to a minimum.The valve’s closing time should not exceed 2 minutes.The Automatic Shut-off valve offersthe lowest form of protection fromcrystallization in the event of a shortinterval of power loss. It will notprotect the unit from crystallizationduring long exten<strong>de</strong>d periods of powerloss.Steam Control ValveThis valve is selected and supplied by the YORKfactory unless otherwise specified on the chilleror<strong>de</strong>r. If not supplied by YORK factory others mustsupply the control valve. If this is the case, the YORKfactory will not be responsible for the valve orconsequential equipment damage if not supplied bythe YORK factory. If supplied by the factory, it willbe found among the unit’s ship loose parts. The controlvalve assembly consists of a valve, positioner andactuator. A separate set of installation and operationinstructions will be packaged along with each valvefrom the valve’s original manufacturer. Please makesure these instructions are kept safe for future use.All personnel involved in the installation of thecontrol valve must read and un<strong>de</strong>rstand the safety andinstallation instructions.The valve controls the steam flow into the unit andis wired to unit-mounted junction box 3, (JB3). Themicropanel will throttle the valve open or closedbased upon the customers cooling load <strong>de</strong>mands and/or built-in unit safety controls. All YORK suppliedsteam valves are two-way valves of either the cage orbutterfly <strong>de</strong>sign. Cage valves have a fail-safe, springreturnfeature inclu<strong>de</strong>d within the actuator. If loss ofpower is experienced the valve will fail-closed. TheYORK supplied butterfly type control valves do nothave the fail-safe, spring-return closed feature. Pleasesee the previous discussion un<strong>de</strong>r “Automatic shut-offvalve” for these installations.DO NOT un<strong>de</strong>r any circumstancesremove the factory-sealed screws onthe type 3274 actuator case cover.Opening this cover will ren<strong>de</strong>r thevalve assembly inoperative!Steam Control Valve InstallationThe valve will mount between flanges that are to besupplied by others. Please note the valve body size andpressure rating before selecting the mounting flanges.Also note the flow direction arrow as indicated on thevalve body before inserting between the flanges. Thevalve assembly must be installed in a location whereambient temperatures are between 0 to +140 <strong>de</strong>g F (-20to +60 <strong>de</strong>g C). If high temperature fluctuations or highhumidity will be a factor, it is suggested that a heatingresistor be fitted to prevent the buildup of con<strong>de</strong>nsationwithin the actuator enclosure.Steam Control Valve WiringYORK supplies the control signal wiring to the valve,however YORK DOES NOT supply the power wiringto the control valve. For the power wiring, YORK7YORK INTERNATIONAL 39

Exceeding this pressure, large amounts ofsuperheat or greater flow than <strong>de</strong>sign could cause theunit to overfire. This in turn could result in inefficientoperation, unit failure or damage to the unit.Damage to the unit and/or chillerwarranty will be VOID if the steam<strong>de</strong>sign conditions are not adhered toduring chiller operation.7A relief valve is not required if thereis a properly sized relief valve onthe boiler of a low-pressure steamsystem.YORK INTERNATIONAL 41


Steam Con<strong>de</strong>nsate Return SystemFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 8STEAM CONDENSATE RETURN SYSTEMSTEAM CONDENSATE RETURN SYSTEMThe following <strong>de</strong>scriptions of the basic types andapproaches used in con<strong>de</strong>nsate return systems.This section does not <strong>de</strong>scribe the fine <strong>de</strong>tails of theproper con<strong>de</strong>nsate system <strong>de</strong>sign. Because of thelarge number of variables, an experienced individualknowledge in steam piping systems, fluid flow and allco<strong>de</strong> requirements must address this on an applicationspecific basis.The chiller’s steam con<strong>de</strong>nsate return system is<strong>de</strong>signed for the purpose of removing con<strong>de</strong>nsate fromthe absorption unit’s generator and returning it to theboiler. An Inefficient or poorly <strong>de</strong>signed con<strong>de</strong>nsatereturn system could interfere with steam flow throughthe unit causing poor chiller capacity and damage tothe unit.Before a discussion of con<strong>de</strong>nsate return systems, itwould be beneficial to the rea<strong>de</strong>r to have a generalun<strong>de</strong>rstanding of the YORK single-stage absorptionunit operating requirements and characteristics.The absorption chiller will operate at full load steampressure in the 9 to 12 PSIG (62 to 88 kPa) range, downto pressures well into the vacuum region at part loads. Asthe cooling load <strong>de</strong>creases, the micropanel will throttlethe steam control valve closed, hence reducing the steamflow and pressure into the generator section of the unit.At some part load point, say 50% for illustration, thesteam pressure will be at or near 0 PSIG, in other words,atmospheric pressure. With further reduction in load, thesteam valve will continue to close, resulting in generatorsteam pressures traveling below atmospheric pressure.If the con<strong>de</strong>nsate return system were not <strong>de</strong>signed forsub-atmospheric pressures, the steam flow through theunit would not flow smoothly thus resulting in inefficientand/or unstable unit operation.Types of Con<strong>de</strong>nsate SystemsThere three basic types of con<strong>de</strong>nsate return systemspossible:1. A complete atmospheric system.2. An atmospheric/vacuum type system.3. A system that operates in a total vacuum.System (1) (Refer to Figure 22)For an entirely atmospheric system, a vacuum breakermay be installed at the outlet of the generator. (See“Con<strong>de</strong>nsate Return System Components” in this sectionfor a <strong>de</strong>scription of this <strong>de</strong>vice). A float & thermostatictype steam trap is used to minimize steam loss. Two trapspiped in parallel will allow continuous unit operationduring maintenance of the trap. A check valve installeddownstream in the line will keep the con<strong>de</strong>nsate fromback flowing during chiller shutdowns. In this systemboth the auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver (if nee<strong>de</strong>d) and themain con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver, must be vented to atmosphericpressure. The auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver should beused on completely atmospheric systems when themain con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver is located a far distance fromthe con<strong>de</strong>nsate outlet or above the con<strong>de</strong>nsate outlet.This type of system requires a float controlled pump tomove con<strong>de</strong>nsate from the auxiliary receiver to the maincon<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver in addition to the main con<strong>de</strong>nsatepump/boiler feed pump.System (2) (Refer to Figure 23)This system allows the chiller and steam traps tooperate at atmospheric pressure, but the remain<strong>de</strong>r ofthe con<strong>de</strong>nsate system, after the auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsatereceiver, is un<strong>de</strong>r a vacuum. Since the con<strong>de</strong>nsate willbe at atmospheric pressure when it leaves the chiller, avacuum breaker can be installed on the generator outletbox. Two float & thermostatic type steam traps are pipedin parallel, followed by a check valve. Up to this point,system 2 is exactly the same as System 1.The auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver must be used insystem number 2. The main con<strong>de</strong>nsate tank will nolonger be vented to the atmosphere. A float control isstill used in the auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver however; itcontrols a valve instead of a pump. The low pressure inthe main tank will draw the con<strong>de</strong>nsate through anothercheck valve installed between the two tanks when thevalve is opened.System (3) (Refer to Figure 24)This system is <strong>de</strong>signed for operating the chillergenerator tube bundle while un<strong>de</strong>r a vacuum; even atthe inlet to the generator bundle. This system workswell when the incoming steam to the generator comesfrom the exhaust of a non-con<strong>de</strong>nsing type steam turbine(Turbo-Absorption).42 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)By using a vacuum pump on the con<strong>de</strong>nsate returnsystem, the entire system can run at a higher efficiency.This is because more latent energy can be extracted fromthe steam because it can be used well into the vacuumregion. This becomes particularly true when the unit isoperating at low loads with the steam valve throttled.Since the con<strong>de</strong>nsate will be at sub-atmospheric pressurewhen it leaves the generator bundle, a vacuum breakercannot be used. The float & thermostatic type steamtraps and check valve are piped the same as in Systems1 and 2.After the con<strong>de</strong>nsate leaves the check valve thecon<strong>de</strong>nsate liquid flows into a con<strong>de</strong>nsate cooler.The con<strong>de</strong>nsate cooler will ensure a 5 to 10°F (3.3 to5.5°C) of subcooling to the con<strong>de</strong>nsate. A thermostaticvalve sensing the con<strong>de</strong>nsate cooler outlet temperaturewhile controlling the cooling medium flow does this.This is necessary to make sure that no flashing takesplace with further pressure drop in the downstreamcon<strong>de</strong>nsate system. See the “Con<strong>de</strong>nsate Return SystemComponents” in this section for sizing the con<strong>de</strong>nsatecooler.Any air trapped in the con<strong>de</strong>nsate system after leavingthe check valve will slowly flow upward into thebellows-type, thermostatic steam trap. When the airreaches the trap it will be nearly the same temperatureas the steam. However, as the air cools down the steamtrap will open to expel the air.Both the subcooled liquid coming out of the con<strong>de</strong>nsatecooler and the air coming out of the steam trap willconverge into a common line downstream of these<strong>de</strong>vices. The con<strong>de</strong>nsate/air will then continue to acon<strong>de</strong>nsate return tank/vacuum system where it will becollected so it can be returned back to the boiler.CONDENSATE RETURN SYSTEM COMPONENTSRefer to the Appendix “A” in this document forshell and tube volumes for the various YORKmo<strong>de</strong>l units. The following table will aid inthe selection and sizing of various con<strong>de</strong>nsatecomponents.Steam Con<strong>de</strong>nsate Drain Solenoid ValveIf the unit has a factory supplied, butterfly-typesteam control valve. A con<strong>de</strong>nsate drain solenoidvalve will be supplied by YORK and shippedloose for field installation. If the unit has a failsafe,cage-type steam control valve or a UPS(Uninterrupted Power Supply) the unit does NOTrequire this valve.The steam con<strong>de</strong>nsate drain solenoid valve is a NCsolenoid valve that will close at unit shutdown or powerloss to the unit. Its function is to stop heat input to thegenerator tube section via stopping con<strong>de</strong>nsate flowwhen the unit is shutdown. It is particularly beneficialin the event of a power outage to the unit.The con<strong>de</strong>nsate drain solenoid valve offers thelowest form of protection from crystallizationin the event of a power loss. It will not protectthe unit from crystallization during exten<strong>de</strong>dperiods of power loss.Valve Installation and WiringThis should be within 24 inches (0.6 m) of thegenerator con<strong>de</strong>nsate outlet box. The preferredvalve orientation is horizontal however otherpositions are acceptable. Wiring for this valve issupplied by the factory and comes already prewiredin the control panel. The remain<strong>de</strong>r of the wiringwill be coiled and ty-wrapped in the vicinity of thegenerator con<strong>de</strong>nsate outlet box. Locate electricaljunction box (JB8) among the units ship looseparts. This box is directly connected to the valve’scoil housing via a ridged conduit connection andlock nut, also supplied by YORK. Remove oneMOV out of the cloth bag located in the unit’spanel. Connect the MOV between wire #17 andwhite natural wire #2. JB8 houses the MOV andthe remain<strong>de</strong>r of the valves connections (refer toYORK Form 155.16-W4).

Its main function is to prevent con<strong>de</strong>nsatebuild-up and/or water hammer in the generatortube section of the chiller. This is especially so oncon<strong>de</strong>nsate return system’s that operate in atmosphericconditions. Basically, the vacuum breaker will provi<strong>de</strong>a non-fluctuating flow rate of con<strong>de</strong>nsate leaving thegenerator hence; the steam flow into the generatorwill also be steady. The vacuum breaker does this bykeeping the generator tubes from going into a subatmosphericcondition by allowing air into the system.CHILLER OPERATION AND THE FUNCTION OFTHE VACUUM BREAKERIf the Con<strong>de</strong>nsate Return System 1 or 2 is employed,the generator tube bundle should always be aboveatmospheric pressure for proper operation. This maynot always be the case especially at a part load condition.At part load, the steam valve will throttle the steam inputto the chiller unit. This may cause the steam to collapse(or con<strong>de</strong>nsate) thus creating a vacuum condition dueto the reduced volume in the generator tubes. At thiscondition, the con<strong>de</strong>nsate will start to backup into thegenerator tubes and impe<strong>de</strong> steam flow. Consequently,the vacuum breaker will open to allow air into the steamsystem. By doing this, it will prevent a vacuum conditionthus allowing proper flow. If no vacuum breaker wereinstalled, the flow would temporary stop or slowdown until the heat and pressure were able to buildupand overcome the vacuum. This condition shouldnot hurt unit performance at part loads. However, theaccumulation of con<strong>de</strong>nsate in the generator tubes andsubsequent drainage could overload the main systemcon<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver if not over-sized accordingly tohandle the fluctuation of con<strong>de</strong>nsate quantities.The capacity of the con<strong>de</strong>nsate system receiver(s) isassumed to be equal to the absorption unit generatortube volume as a maximum. See Appendix “A” for unitgenerator tube volumes.A vacuum breaker <strong>de</strong>vice should be selected andapplied with discretion. If the con<strong>de</strong>nsate is to be usedfor other processes downstream of the chiller introducedair through the vacuum breaker maybe objectionable.Any air that enters the con<strong>de</strong>nsate return system, mustbe purged from the system.46 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)Strainer(s)A fine mesh strainer with a blow-off valve should beprovi<strong>de</strong>d ahead of the steam traps(s). A stop valve shouldbe installed upstream of the strainer for isolation.Steam TrapsThe latent heat in steam is a very effective and efficientmeans of providing heat to a building or process. The byproductof steam as it cools is con<strong>de</strong>nsate. If con<strong>de</strong>nsatewere not drained from the <strong>de</strong>vices and components thatprovi<strong>de</strong> the process, they would soon fill with con<strong>de</strong>nsateand quit operating. A steam trap’s main function is toremove con<strong>de</strong>nsate away from the steam vapor. Itssecond function is to move air and/or non-con<strong>de</strong>nsablegasses to the con<strong>de</strong>nsate system.There are many types of steam traps available on themarket today. However, no one type is “best” for allapplications; each type of trap has its unique features andabilities. There are basically three groups of steam trapsbased on how the trap makes the distinction betweencon<strong>de</strong>nsate and steam; thermostatic, mechanical, andthermodynamic. The following <strong>de</strong>scriptions cover two ofthe three groups this is recommen<strong>de</strong>d for the con<strong>de</strong>nsatesystem.Float and Thermostatic Steam TrapThis type of steam trap incorporates two groups of steamtraps in one: mechanical and thermostatic. A float locatedat the bottom of the trap rises with increased con<strong>de</strong>nsatelevel to open a valve. When steam enters the trap, thefloat drops, closing the valve. At the top of the trap isa thermostatic vent. This type of trap is essential if thecon<strong>de</strong>nsate is to be used for other in plant operationswhere air in the con<strong>de</strong>nsate would be objectionable.The float and thermostatic steam trap should be installedin accordance with the manufactures recommendations.A by-pass line with isolation valves before and afterthe steam trap will allow for maintenance of the trapwithout taking the chiller off line. The trap should belocated below and as close to the generator’s outlet aspossible in a horizontal plane. A full size trap outletline size connection and valve should be provi<strong>de</strong>d forblow-down and testing purposes.Thermostatic TrapThis type of trap senses the temperature differencebetween steam and con<strong>de</strong>nsate by means of a bellows,flexible disk or bi-metal sensing element. For this tohappen, the con<strong>de</strong>nsate must be slightly subcooled.As steam enters the trap a sensing element heats upand expands, forcing the stem against the valve seatto keep the steam within the trap. As the steam cools,con<strong>de</strong>nsate is formed; which collects behind the seat.As the temperature lowers, the sensing element willcontract and lift the stem off the valve seat to allow thecon<strong>de</strong>nsate to exit.Check ValveA check valve installed in the con<strong>de</strong>nsate drain line willprevent any con<strong>de</strong>nsate or air from back flowing in thecon<strong>de</strong>nsate system during reduced load conditions.THIS IS A MUST FOR ALL CONDENSATE DRAINSYSTEMS. Please see the system diagrams for thelocation of the check valve.Con<strong>de</strong>nsate CoolerThe con<strong>de</strong>nsate cooler is installed in drain systembetween the steam trap and con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver. Thepurpose is to sub cool the con<strong>de</strong>nsate below its flashpoint. The usage of this <strong>de</strong>vice is especially importantin vacuum drain systems (system #3) where flashing ofthe con<strong>de</strong>nsate liquid would be more likely to occur.Variations in con<strong>de</strong>nsate flow must be recognized and thecooler selected to cool the maximum flow of con<strong>de</strong>nsate5-10 <strong>de</strong>g F (3 – 6 <strong>de</strong>g C) below the saturation temperatureof the lowest pressure in the system. Sufficient coolantmust be provi<strong>de</strong>d to cool the maximum con<strong>de</strong>nsateflow to the <strong>de</strong>sired temperature. Coolers may be airor evaporatively cooled, providing they can producethe <strong>de</strong>sired leaving con<strong>de</strong>nsate temperature. Coolantflow could be manually set for maximum load andallowed to operate continuously at that level with nooperation difficulties, but the poor economics of such anarrangement make automatic control preferable.Auxiliary Con<strong>de</strong>nsate ReceiverAn auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver must be used if themain con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver is located above the chiller ora long distance from the chiller. An auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsatepump is used to send con<strong>de</strong>nsate from the auxiliaryreceiver to the main con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver.The auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate receiver should be located atfloor level as close to the absorption unit as possible. Acheck valve in the auxiliary con<strong>de</strong>nsate pump dischargeline is recommen<strong>de</strong>d where con<strong>de</strong>nsate backflow mayoccur.8YORK INTERNATIONAL 47

All piping must be a<strong>de</strong>quatelysupported and braced in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt of the chiller. Thechiller water boxes and nozzles are not <strong>de</strong>signed tohandle any load bearing stress or strain. The supportsystem must account for the expansion and contractionof the hot water being supplied to and from the unit. Allhot water piping should be <strong>de</strong>signed in accordance withgood engineering practice.The hot water piping must be fabricated so that waterbox removal can be facilitated easily for maintenancepurposes. Installing a set of flanges close to the waterbox nozzles may do this.Hot water piping must be properly sized in accordancewith the required unit full load flow rates and pressuredrops. Piping must be <strong>de</strong>signed to avoid abrupt pipe sizechanges and sharp curves to keep system pressure dropsto a minimum. For the inlet to the generator, YORKrecommends a straight length of pipe down stream ofthe control valve approximately 5 to 10 pipe diameterslong.HOT WATER FLOW & CONTROLThere are basically two types of hot water valves thatare utilized on YORK absorption chillers: two-way andthree-way. The three-way valve is the more commontype of control method. Three-way valves can befurther broke down into two categories.1. Diverging (flow-splitting)2. Converging (flow-mixing)Normally a tag fixed on the valve will indicate whichtype it is and how it operates; see the below example.DIVERGING FLOWThe three-way, diverging type valve will have its inleton the bottom (sometimes called the branch or commonport) and flow will go either to the left port or right portor both ports <strong>de</strong>pending on the position of the valve’splug. Whether the hot water goes to the generator orby-pass <strong>de</strong>pends on how it’s piped.3-Way Diverging valvesThe valves will vary the water flow rate through thegenerator while keeping the temperature constant. Thisis the recommen<strong>de</strong>d valve for hot water temperaturesequal to or below 266 ºF (130º C).A three-way, diverting valve will have one inlet andtwo outlets. The valve will vary the flow rate throughthe generator section of the chiller as load increasesor <strong>de</strong>creases. At a full load condition, the by-pass portwill be completely shut off allowing all the flow of thehot water to go directly to the generator section of thechiller. As the load <strong>de</strong>creases, the by-pass port will beginto open, allowing some of the hot water to bypass thegenerator section of the chiller. When there is no <strong>de</strong>mandfor cooling, the by-pass port on the control valve willbe completely open while the port to the chiller will becompletely closed. Refer to Figure 26.48 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)2-Way Hot Water ValvesThe valves are a straightforward open/shut type of valve.One important thing to keep in mind is that the hot watercirculator pump must be kept from <strong>de</strong>adheading whenthe hot water control valve completely closes. If the hotwater pump does not have other hot water appliancesin the same loop, the piping must be arranged so thatan upstream “by-pass” valve will automatically openupon hot water control valve closing. This will allowthe hot water flow to travel back to the pump suction.Refer to Figure 25.Contact YORK factory if the hot water temperatureis above YORK’s recommendations.3-Way Converging valvesThese valves have two inlets and one outlet; they willvary the water temperature while the flow remains thesame. This type of flow is recommen<strong>de</strong>d for hot watertemperatures above 266º F (130º C).

Protection from CrystallizationFORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 11PROTECTION FROM CRYSTALLIZATION DURING POWER FAILURESPROTECTION FROM CRYSTALLIZATION DURINGPOWER FAILURESIn the event of a power failure, an absorption chiller issusceptible to crystallization as it cools down.Because of this, there are certain techniques that canbe applied to the chiller to help avoid crystallization.Listed below are some of these techniques.Eliminating Heat InputThis is especially important on steam-fired units.During a power failure, steam from the boiler willcontinue to flow to the chiller for an un<strong>de</strong>terminedamount of time. If not stopped, the steam will continueto boil the water out of the solution in the generator,pushing the solution’s concentration closer to thecrystallization area on the PTX chart.YORK factory can provi<strong>de</strong> one of two methods toreduce Heat Input, <strong>de</strong>pending on the type of steamvalve selected for the chillers application.1) YORK will provi<strong>de</strong> a fail-closed steam valve. Thefail-closed steam valve has an internal spring, whichwill close the valve upon power failure. Fail-closedsteam valves are only available in the cage-type<strong>de</strong>sign from the factory.2) If the chiller has been selected for a butterfly-typecontrol valve, YORK will supply a steam con<strong>de</strong>nsatedrain solenoid valve. This NC valve will close uponpower failure to keep the steam con<strong>de</strong>nsate fromexiting the generator section.The above options are not available for hot water firedunits. Normally, during a power failure the hot waterpump will lose power as well, stopping the flow of hotwater to the unit.Basically, the customer supplied shut-off valve willremain open when current is applied to terminals 2 and5 on terminal board 7, which is located in unit-mountedjunction box 3. Upon loss of current, this NC valve willshut to assure zero steam flow into the chiller. Thisvalve works in conjunction with the con<strong>de</strong>nsate drainsolenoid valve, if the unit is so equipped.Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): This <strong>de</strong>viceis a special factory option available at time of or<strong>de</strong>rsubmittal. A relay in the control panel will commandthe control valve to close using the UPS for power inthe event that AC power is lost to the chiller.If the unit has a factory supplied UPS, certain startup,operation and maintenance procedures will be ineffect. Please contact your local YORK service officefor more <strong>de</strong>tails.Unit InsulationThere are many reasons why insulation is used on units.Please see the Insulation section in this documentfor more information and <strong>de</strong>tails on the benefi ts ofinsulation.Insulation on an absorption unit plays an additionalrole by helping to retain heat within the solution of theunit. Some areas of the chiller, such as small diametersolution piping will cool quicker than larger thermalmass areas such as the generator. By insulating thesecritical areas, the heat in the solution may be retainedlong enough for the power to be restored to the chillerbefore crystallization happens.See the Appendix in the back of this document forrecommen<strong>de</strong>d unit insulation areas and amounts.Automatic shut-off valve: Another method of stoppingthe heat into a steam machine is to install an automaticshut-off valve in the steam inlet line to the chiller’sgenerator bundle. The automatic shut-off valve isnot supplied by the factory and must be purchasedand installed by the customer or the installingcontractor. Please see the Inlet Steam Piping sectionof this document for <strong>de</strong>tails for piping and selection ofthis valve.60 YORK INTERNATIONAL


FORM 155.16-N3 (904)SECTION 12INSULATIONINSULATIONInsulation on a single-stage absorption chiller can offermany benefits, such as: Elimination of con<strong>de</strong>nsationon cold surfaces (this is especially true in warm, humi<strong>de</strong>nvironments); protects personnel working on or aroundthe absorption equipment from the high temperaturesurfaces; prevents or prolongs the unit from crystallizingduring a power failure.Hot Surface InsulationYORK recommends using 2" (51 mm) thick, 3-pound<strong>de</strong>nsity fiberglass insulation. The insulation may becovered with metallic jacketing or sealed with thermalmastique compound if <strong>de</strong>sired. The main surfaces toreceive this type of insulation are: solution-to-solutionheat exchanger, piping between the solution-to-solutionheat exchanger and generator, generator heads, and thesteam/hot water piping. See Appendix A, Figures 34,35 and 36 at the end of this document for <strong>de</strong>tailedillustrations on which surfaces get cold insulation.As an option, the upper shell may be insulated tolimit the amount of heat gain to the equipmentroom.Glued insulation pins may be used for installing thefiberglass insulation to the hot areas of the unit. A hightemperatureepoxy adhesive is available from varioussupply houses for this purpose. DO NOT USE WELDPINS!Never weld to the unit shell or use weldpins for applying insulation. This actioncould penetrate the shell exteriorand may jeopardize the integrity of thechiller. If in question contact the localYORK service office.Cold Surface InsulationYORK recommends using 3/4" (19 mm), closed-cellfoam insulation. Cold surfaces to be insulated areevaporator shell and heads, refrigerant pump, evaporatorrefrigerant outlet box, miscellaneous piping betweenand around the refrigerant pump, and piping to theevaporator sprays.The surface of the cold insulation must be sealed vaportight to keep the glue intact and prevent sweating andmil<strong>de</strong>w from forming un<strong>de</strong>rneath the insulation. Allseams must also be sealed or covered with tape.See Appendix A, Figures 34, 35 and 36 at theend of this document for <strong>de</strong>tailed schematics onwhich surfaces get cold si<strong>de</strong> insulation.Insulation TipsBefore applying any insulation to the unit, pleaseread the following for important information.Not adhering to any of the following statements mayeither void unit warranty, or cause damage the chiller.Never insulate the unit’s pump motors.The motor housings have air holes,for ventilation and cooling purposes.Blocking these holes will cause prematuremotor failure.Do not apply any insulation to theunit until the unit has been completelystarted up and confirmed tobe leak free.When insulating the unit, do not cover any sight glasses,hand valves, or water head bolts or nuts. These areasmust be accessible for service and operation personnel.If insulation is <strong>de</strong>sired in these areas, do not glue theinsulation to the surface, in that way it can be easilyremoved for servicing the unit.Factory Applied <strong>Chiller</strong> InsulationAs a special option, chiller refrigerant- si<strong>de</strong> (anti-sweat)insulation can be furnished and installed at the factoryif so <strong>de</strong>sired. This option must be taken advantage of atthe time of the original chiller or<strong>de</strong>r.12YORK INTERNATIONAL 61


InsulationFORM 155.16-N3 (904)Note: The factory supplied, refrigerant-si<strong>de</strong>insulation option must begiven consi<strong>de</strong>ration before or<strong>de</strong>ring.This is due to the fact that additionalfield supplied and installed chillerinsulation is a must after the unit iscommissioned. Furthermore, factoryinstalled insulation, due to it’s vulnerablenature, is prone to damage duringshipping, rigging and installationprocess.YORK will not be responsible fordamaged insulation due to negligencein shipping, rigging or installation ofthe chiller.Specific applications and economic concerns maycontrol the <strong>de</strong>cision to have insulation applied at thefactory. Evaporator water boxes and the customer’schilled water lines must be insulated in the field tokeep con<strong>de</strong>nsation from dripping onto machine roomequipment and floors. Usually, when this insulation isapplied, the insulation contractor will also insulate thenecessary components and piping on the chiller.If the factory applied anti-sweat insulation option isor<strong>de</strong>red, the following chiller components will beinsulation with closed-cell foam insulation from thefactory.• Evaporator spill box.• Refrigerant pump suction line.• Refrigerant pump housing.• Refrigerant pump discharge line.• Refrigerant spray hea<strong>de</strong>r.• Unloading solenoid (3SOL) line.• Anti-freeze line.• Intersection of Evaporator/Absorber shell (bothsi<strong>de</strong>s). NOT THE COMPLETE SHELL.Refer to Appendix A, Figures 34 thru 37 for insulationillustrations.Refrigerant-si<strong>de</strong> (anti-sweat) insulationis not offered as a field retrofit oran aftermarket product.62 YORK INTERNATIONAL
