EFFICIENCY
Matched Components Maximize Efficiency
Actual chiller efficiency cannot be determined by analyzing
the theoretical efficiency of any one chiller component. It
requires a specific combination of heat exchanger, com-
pressor, and motor performance to achieve the lowest
system kW/ton. YORK YMC² technology matches chiller
system components to provide maximum chiller efficiency
under actual – not just theoretical – operating conditions.
YORK YMC² lower energy costs achieved with up to 10%
JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 160.78-EG1 (610)
better efficiency than existing designs at both at full and
part load conditions.
Real-World Energy Performance
Johnson Controls pioneered the term “Real-World En-
ergy” to illustrate the energy-saving potential of focusing
on chiller performance during off-design conditions. Off-
design conditions are not only seen at part load, but at full
load operation as well, by taking advantage of reduced
entering condenser water temperatures (ECWTs). This
is where chillers operate 99% of the time, and where
operating costs add up. YORK YMC² are the only chill-
ers designed to operate on a continuous basis with cold
ECWT and full condenser flow at all load points, taking full
advantage of Real-World conditions. This type of operation
benefits the cooling tower as well; reducing cycling of the
fan motor and ensuring good coverage of the cooling fill.
YORK YMC² chillers offer the most efficient Real-World
operation of any chiller, meaning lower operating costs
and an excellent return on your chiller investment.
Efficiency Proven in the Most Demanding Applica-
tions
YORK single-stage compressors are working to reduce
energy costs. High strength aluminum-alloy compressor
impellers feature backward-curved vanes for high ef-
ficiency. Airfoil shaped pre-rotation vanes minimize flow
disruption for the most efficient part load performance.
Precisely positioned, they allow the compressor to unload
smoothly from 100% to minimum load for excellent opera-
tion in air conditioning applications.
Space Saving Design Takes Up Less Space in the
Mechanical Room.
The heat exchangers at YORK YMC² offer the latest
technology such as falling film in addition to the latest
technology in heat transfer surface design to give you
maximum efficiency, reduced refrigerant charge, and
a compact design. The largest unit has only a 14’ heat
exchanger length.
Accurate Performance By an Intuitive OPTIVIEW™
Control Center and Seamless BAS Integration
The YORK OptiView Control Center, furnished as standard
on each chiller, provides the ultimate in efficiency, monitor-
ing, data recording, chiller protection and operating ease.
The OptiView Control Center is a factory-mounted, wired
and tested state-of-the-art microprocessor based control
system for HFC R-134a centrifugal chillers.
Setpoints can be changed from a remote location via
0-10VDC, 4-20mA, contact closures or through serial
com-munications. The adjustable remote reset range [up
to 20°F (11.1°C)] provides flexible, efficient use of remote
signal depending on reset needs. Serial data interface
to the Building Automation System (BAS) is through

SUSTENTABILITY
Lower Direct and Indirect Environmental Impact.
98% of the global warming potential of a centrifugal chiller
is from the indirect effect – or the greenhouse gases pro-
duced to produce the electricity to run the chiller. 2% of the
GWP is from the direct effect or release of the refrigerant
gases into the atmosphere.
The YORK YMC² chiller and its superior efficiency
levels really reduce the indirect effect
To address the direct effect, the YORK YMC², first reduces
the chances for refrigerant leaks by dramatically reduc-
ing the number of connections, down 57% compared to
traditional chiller designs. Then we have employed fall-
ing film evaporator technology that reduces the overall
refrigerant charge by 30% and improves the efficiency of
the evaporator. This can help qualify your project for up
to 2 more LEED points using the advanced refrigerant-
management credit. Finally, by eliminating the lubrication
system, the YMC2 lets you avoid all the environmental
issues of handling and disposing refrigerant saturated
oil. Add it all up and you will see why you can count on
the YORK YMC² to yield a positive environment result.
Environmentally Friendly HFC R-134a
The YORK YMC² chiller employs one the most environ-
mentally friendly refrigerant available, HFC R-134a , with
no Ozone Depletion Potential and no phase out date per
the Montreal Protocol.
You will achieve a much better result than the soon-to-be
phasd-out HCFC-123 by using the US Green Building
Council's (USGBC) Template EAc4 (Enhanced Refriger-
ant Management) to calculate the refrigerant impact at
your project.
Environmental Heat Exchangers Technology
The heat exchangers utilized on the YORK YMC² in-
troduce a proprietary falling film evaporator design that
helps not only operate more efficiently, but also allows
us to reduce our refrigerant charges up to 30% beyond
conventional chiller designs.
Elimination of Lubrication System and Oil Manage-
ment Hardware
To ensure maximum efficiency, the YORK YMC² utilizes
a hermetically sealed permanent magnet motor. The
compressor is directly driven by the motor, eliminating any
losses from using gears for power transmission. Active
magnetic bearings are used to support the motor shaft
allowing this chiller series to be completely OIL FREE
with no oil management system required.

QUIET OPERATION
OPTISOUND™ CONTROL
YORK YMC² chillers are equipped with YORK OptiSound-
Control as standard. OptiSound Control is a patented
combination of centrifugal-chiller hardware and software
that reduces operational sound levels, expands the chiller
operating range, and improves chiller performance. The
OptiSound™ Control feature continuously monitors the
characteristics of the compressor-discharge gas and
optimizes the diffuser spacing to minimize gas-flow dis-
ruptions from the impeller. It can also reduce part-load
sound levels below the full-load level
Quiet Operating Range with Magnetic Bearing Tech-
nology
We utilized a permanent-magnet motor and active mag-
netic-bearing technology to eliminate the friction losses
associated with oil-lubricated bearings and also eliminates
driveline sound.
RELIABILITY
Single-Stage Compressor Design for Highest uptime
operation with fewer parts.
Designed for the most reliable chillers we’ve ever made,
the YMC² YORK Magnetic Bearing you will achieve a
much better result than the phase-out 2015 HCFC-123
Centrifugal compressors are based on a successful line
of efficient YORK single-stage compressors. With fewer
moving parts and straightforward design, YORK single-
stage compressors have proven durability in numerous
applications especially applications where minimal down-
time is a critical concern.
OPTISPEED™ Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Technology
to delivery Low Harmonics and Flexible Power Input
The YORK YMC² chiller will always be driven by a John-
son Controls OptiSpeed Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to
ensure optimal Real-World performance especially at
part load conditions. Beyond chiller efficiency there are
several distinct advantages with the OptiSpeed Variable
Speed Drive (VSD). First, the OptiSpeed is equipped
with a standard, factory packaged, IEEE-519 harmonic
filter to ensure the % current Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) is kept below 5% and that a chiller power factor
of at least 0.97 is maintained. Second, to ensure equip-
ment safety and longevity this chiller is equipped with the
option of either a circuit breaker of a disconnect switch.
Third, a myriad of voltage options are available to serve
our global customers: 380V and 460V (60 Hz), 400V and
415V (50Hz).
Factory Packing Reduces Field Labor Costs and In-
crease Reliability
YORK YMC² chillers are designed to keep installation

costs low. Where installation access is not a problem,
the unit can be shipped completely packaged including
the unit mounted OptiSpeed™ Variable Speed Drive
(VSD), requiring minimal piping and wiring to complete
the installation.
Using Proven Magnetic Driveline Technology That
Has Been Incorporated in YORK Chiller Designs for
More Than 10 years
The majority of chiller components on the YMC² have been
time tested in the tens of thousands of YK chillers operat-
ing globally. YORK YMC² employ the most advanced drive
available - an active magnetic-bearing drive - to levitate
the driveshaft in mid-air. The result is frictionless operation
and fewer moving parts subject to breakdown, which is
JOHNSON CONTROLS

why we’ve used this magnetic drive in our military-grade
chillers since 1999.
Field Serviceability and Fully Trained Service Support

HEAT EXCHANGERS
Shells
Evaporator and condenser shells are fabricated from
rolled carbon steel plates with fusion welded seams or
carbon steel pipe. Carbon steel tube sheets, drilled and
reamed to accommodate the tubes, are welded to the end
of each shell. Intermediate tube supports are fabricated
from carbon steel plates, drilled and reamed to eliminate
sharp edges, and spaced no more than four feet apart.
The refrigerant side of each shell is designed, tested, and
stamped in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section VIII – Division I, or other pressure
vessel code as appropriate.
Tubes
Heat exchanger tubes are state-of-the-art, high-efficiency,
externally and internally enhanced type to provide opti-
mum performance. Tubes in both the evaporator and con-
denser are 3/4" (19 mm) O.D. or 1" (25.4 mm) O.D. copper
alloy and utilize the “skip-fin” design, providing a smooth
internal and external surface at each intermediate tube
support. This provides extra wall thickness (up to twice
as thick) and non work-hardened copper at the support
location, extending the life of the heat exchangers. Each
tube is roller-expanded into the tube sheets providing a
leak-proof seal, and is individually replaceable.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a shell and tube, hybrid falling film type
heat exchanger. It contains a balance of flooded and falling
film technology to optimize efficiency, minimize refriger-
ant charge, and maintain reliable control. A specifically
designed spray distributor provides uniform distribution of
refrigerant over the entire shell length to yield optimum
heat transfer. A suction baffle is located above the tube
JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 160.78-EG1 (610)
bundle to prevent liquid refrigerant carryover into the
compressor. A 1-1/2" (38 mm) liquid level sight glass is
conveniently located on the side of the shell to aid in de-
termining proper refrigerant charge. The evaporator shell
contains a dual refrigerant relief valve arrangement set at
235 psig (16.2 barg) or a single-relief valve arrangement,
if the chiller is supplied with the optional refrigerant isola-
tion valves. A 1" (25.4 mm) refrigerant charging valve is
provided for service access.
Condenser
The condenser is a shell and tube type, with a discharge
gas baffle to prevent direct high velocity impingement on
the tubes. The baffle is also used to distribute the refrig-
erant gas flow properly for most efficient heat transfer.
An integral sub-cooler is located at the bottom of the
condenser shell providing highly effective liquid refriger-
ant subcooling to provide the highest cycle efficiency.
The condenser contains dual refrigerant relief valves set
at 235 psig (16.2 barg).
Water Boxes
The removable water boxes are fabricated of steel. The
design working pressure is 150 psig (10.3 barg) and the
boxes are tested at 225 psig (15.5 barg). Integral steel
water baffles are located and welded within the water box
to provide the required pass arrangements. Stub-out water
nozzle connections with ANSI/AWWA C-606 grooves are
welded to the water boxes. These nozzle connections
are suitable for ANSI/AWWA C-606 couplings, welding
or flanges, and are capped for shipment. Plugged 3/4"
(19 mm) drain and vent connections are provided in each
water box.
REFRIGERANT ISOLATION VALVES
Factory-installed isolation valves in the compressor
discharge line and refrigerant liquid line are provided as
standard. This allows isolation and storage of the refrig-
erant charge in the chiller condenser during servicing,
eliminating time-consuming transfers to remote storage
vessels. Both valves are positive shut-off, assuring integ-
rity of the storage system.
WATER FLOW SWITCHES
Thermal type water flow switches are factory mounted in
the chilled and condenser water nozzles, and are factory
wired to the OptiView control panel. These solid state
flow sensors have a small internal heating-element. They
use the cooling effect of the flowing fluid to sense when
an adequate flow rate has been established. The sealed
sensor probe is 316 stainless steel, which is suited to very
high working pressures.
REFRIGERANT FLOW CONTROL
Refrigerant flow to the evaporator is controlled by the
YORK variable orifice control system. Liquid refriger-

ant level is continuously monitored to provide optimum
subcooler, condenser and evaporator performance. The
variable orifice electronically adjusts to all Real-World
operating conditions, providing the most efficient and
reliable operation of refrigerant flow control.
OPTIVIEW CONTROL CENTER
GENERAL
The chiller is controlled by a stand-alone microprocessor
based control center. The chiller control panel provides
control of chiller operation and monitoring of chiller sen-
sors, actuators, relays and switches.
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel includes a 10.4-in. (264 mm) diagonal
color liquid crystal display (LCD) surrounded by “soft” keys
which are redefined based on the screen displayed at that
time, mounted in the middle of a keypad interface and
installed in a locked enclosure. The screen details all op-
erations and parameters, using a graphical representation
of the chiller and its major components. Panel verbiage
is available in eight languages and can be changed on
the fly without having to turn off the chiller. Data can be
displayed in either English or Metric units. Smart Freeze
Point Protection will run the chiller at 36°F (2.2°C) leaving
chilled water temperature, and not have nuisance trips on
low water temperature. The sophisticated program and
sensor monitors the chiller water temperature to prevent
freeze-up. When needed, Hot Gas Bypass control is
available as an option. The panel displays countdown
timer messages so the operator knows when functions
are starting and stopping. Every programmable point has
a pop-up screen with the allowable ranges, so that the
chiller cannot be programmed to operate outside of its
design limits.
The chiller control panel also provides:
1. System operating information including:
a. return and leaving chilled water temperature
b. return and leaving condenser water temperature
c. evaporator and condenser saturation pressure
d. percent motor current
e. evaporator and condenser saturation temperature
f. compressor discharge temperature
g. operating hours

4. The text displayed within the system status and system
details field is displayed as a color-coded message to
indicate severity: red for safety fault, orange for cycling
faults, yellow for warnings, and green for normal mes-
sages.
5. Safety shutdowns enunciated through the display and
the status bar, and consist of system status, system
details, day, time, cause of shutdown, and type of re-
start required. See the Optiview control center section
for a list of safety shutdown messages.
6. Cycling shutdowns enunciated through the display and
the status bar, and consists of system status, system
details, day, time, cause of shutdown, and type of re-
start required. See the Optiview Control Center section
for a list of cycling shutdowns.
7. Security access to prevent unauthorized change of
setpoints, to allow local or remote control of the chiller,
and to allow manual operation of the pre-rotation vanes
and oil pump. Access is through ID and password
recognition, which is defined by three different levels
of user competence: view, operator, and service.
8. Trending data with the ability to customize points of
once every second to once every hour. The panel will
trend up to 6 different parameters from a list of over
140, without the need of an external monitoring system.
9. The operating program stored in non-volatile memory
(EPROM) to eliminate reprogramming the chiller due
to AC power failure or battery discharge. Programmed
setpoints are retained in lithium battery-backed RTC

FACTORY INSULATION OF EVAPORATOR
Factory-applied thermal insulation of the flexible, closed
cell plastic type, 3/4" (19 mm) thick is attached with va
por-proof cement to the evaporator shell, flow chamber,
tube sheets, suction connection, and (as necessary) to the
auxiliary tubing. Not included is the insulation of compact
water boxes and nozzles. This insulation will normally pre-
vent condensation in environments with relative humidifies
up to 75% and dry bulb temperatures ranging from 50° to
90°F (10° to 32.2°C). 1 1/2" (38 mm) thick insulation is also
available for relative humidifies up to 90% and dry bulb
temperatures ranging from 50° to 90°F (10° to 32.2°C).

Application Data
The following discussion is a user’s guide in the applica-
tion and installation of YORK YMC² chillers to ensure the
reliable, trouble-free life for which this equipment was
designed. While this guide is directed towards normal,
water-chilling applications, a Johnson Controls sales en-
gineer can provide complete recommendations on other
types of applications.
LOCATION
YORK YMC² chillers are virtually vibration free and may
generally be located at any level in a building where the
construction will support the total system operating weight.
The unit site must be a floor, mounting pad or foundation
which is level within 1/4" (6.4 mm) and capable of sup-
porting the operating weight of the unit.
Sufficient clearance to permit normal service and main-
tenance work should be provided all around and above
the unit. Additional space should be provided at one end
of the unit to permit cleaning of evaporator and condenser
tubes as required. A doorway or other properly located
opening may be used.
The chiller should be installed in an indoor location where
temperatures range from 40°F to 104°F (4.4°C to 40°C).
WATER CIRCUITS
Flow Rate – For normal water chilling duty, evaporator and
condenser flow rates are permitted at water velocity levels
in the heat exchangers tubes of between 3 ft/sec (3.3 for
condensers) and 12 ft/sec (0.91 m/s and 3.66 m/s). Two
pass units are also limited to 45 ft H20 (134 kPA) water
pressure drop. Three pass limit is 67.5 ft H20 (201 kPA).
Variable flow in the condenser is not recommended, as
it generally raises the energy consumption of the system
by keeping the condenser pressure high in the chiller.
Additionally, the rate of fouling in the condenser will in-
crease at lower water velocities associated with variable
flow, raising system maintenance costs. Cooling towers
typically have narrow ranges of operation with respect to
flow rates, and will be more effective with full design flow.
Ref. Table 1 for flow limits at design conditions.
There is increasing interest to use variable primary flow
(VPF) systems in large chilled water plants. VPF systems
can offer lower installation and operating costs in many
cases, but do require more sophisticated control and flow
monitoring.
YORK YMC² chillers will operate successfully in VPF
systems. With a minimum allowable evaporator tube
velocity of 1-1/2 fps (.5 m/s) for standard tubes at part-
load rating conditions, YMC² chillers will accommodate
the wide variation in flow required by many chilled water
VPF applications.
The chillers can tolerate a 50% flow rate change in one
minute that is typically associated with the staging on or off
of an additional chiller, however a lower flow rate change

is normally used for better system stability and set point
control. Proper sequencing via the building automation
system will make this a very smooth transition.
Temperature Ranges – For normal water chilling duty,
leaving chilled water temperatures may be selected
between 38°F (3.3°C) [36°F (2.2°C) with Smart Freeze
enabled] and 70°F (21.1°C) for water temperature ranges
between 3°F and 30°F (1.7°C and 16.7°C).
Water Quality – The practical and economical applica-
tion of liquid chillers requires that the quality of the water
supply for the condenser and evaporator be analyzed by
a water treatment specialist. Water quality may affect the
performance of any chiller through corrosion, deposition
of heat-resistant scale, sedimentation or organic growth.
These will degrade chiller performance and increase op-
erating and maintenance costs. Normally, performance
may be maintained by corrective water treatment and
periodic cleaning of tubes. If water conditions exist which
cannot be corrected by proper water treatment, it may be
necessary to provide a larger allowance for fouling, and/
or to specify special materials of construction.
General Piping – All chilled water and condenser water
piping should be designed and installed in accor dance
with accepted piping practice. Chilled water and condens-
er water pumps should be located to discharge through
the chiller to assure positive pressure and flow through
the unit. Piping should include offsets to provide flexibility
and should be arranged to prevent drainage of water from
the evaporator and condenser when the pumps are shut
off. Piping should be adequately supported and braced
independently of the chiller to avoid the imposition of strain
on chiller components. Hangers must allow for alignment
of the pipe. Isolators in the piping and in the hangers are
highly desirable in achieving sound and vibration control.
Convenience Considerations – To facilitate the perfor-
mance of routine maintenance work, some or all of the
following steps may be taken by the purchaser. Evaporator
and condenser water boxes are equipped with plugged
vent and drain connections. If desired, vent and drain
valves may be installed with or without piping to an open
drain. Pressure gauges with stop-cocks and stop-valves
may be installed in the inlets and outlets of the condenser
and chilled water line as close as possible to the chiller.
An overhead monorail or beam may be used to facilitate
servicing.
Connections – The standard chiller is designed for 150
psig (10.3 barg) design working pressure in both the
chilled water and condenser water circuits. The connec
tions (water nozzles) to these circuits are furnished with
grooves to ANSI/AWWA C-606 Standard for grooved and
shouldered joints. Piping should be arranged for ease of
disassembly at the unit for tube cleaning. All water piping
should be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and debris before
final connections are made to the chiller.

Application Data - continued
MULTIPLE UNITS
Selection – Many applications require multiple units to
meet the total capacity requirements as well as to provide
flexibility and some degree of protection against equip
ment shutdown. There are several common unit arrange
ments for this type of application. The YORK YMC² chiller
has been designed to be readily adapted to the require-
ments of these various arrangements.
Parallel Arrangement (Refer to Fig. 1, pg 19) – Chillers
may be applied in multiples with chilled and condenser
water circuits connected in parallel between the units.
Fig. 1 represents a parallel arrangement with two chillers.
Parallel chiller arrangements may consist of equally or
unequally sized units. When multiple units are in operation,
they will load and unload at equal percentages of design
full load for the chiller.
Depending on the number of units and operating char-
acteristics of the units, loading and unloading schemes
should be designed to optimize the overall efficiency of
the chiller plant. It is recommended to use an evaporator
bypass piping arrangement to bypass fluid around evap-
orator of any unit which has cycled off at reduced load
conditions. It is also recommended to alternate the chiller
cycling order to equalize chiller starts and run hours.
Series Arrangement (Refer to Fig. 2, pg 19) – Chillers
may be applied in pairs with chilled water circuits con-
nected in series and condenser water circuits connected
in parallel. All of the chilled water flows through both evapo
rators with each unit handling approximately one-half of
the total load. When the load decreases to a customer
selected load value, one of the units will be shut down by
a sequence control. Since all water is flowing through the
operating unit, that unit will cool the water to the desired
temperature.
Series Counter Flow Arrangement (Refer to Fig. 3, pg
19) - Chillers may be applied in pairs with chilled water
circuits connected in series and with the condenser water
in series counter flow. All of the chilled water flows through
both evaporators. All of the condenser water flows through
both condensers. The water ranges are split, which al
lows a lower temperature difference or "head" on each
chiller, than multiple units in parallel. For equal chillers, the
machine at higher temperature level will typically provide
slightly more than half the capacity. The compressor mo
tors and gear codes on the two chillers are often matched,
such that the high temperature machine can operate at
the low temperature conditions when one unit is cycled
off at part loads (as compared to series-parallel chillers
which are typically not identical).
Series counter flow application can provide a significant
building energy savings for large capacity plants which
26
FORM 160.78-EG1 (610)
have chilled and condenser water temperature ranges
greater than typical AHRI.
REFRIGERANT RELIEF PIPING
Each chiller is equipped with dual pressure relief valves
on the condenser and two dual relief valves on the evapo
rator, or two single relief valves on the evaporator if the
optional refrigerant isolation valves are ordered. The dual
relief valves on the condenser are redundant and allow
changing of either valve while the unit is fully charged. The
purpose of the relief valves is to quickly relieve excess
pressure of the refrigerant charge to the atmosphere, as
a safety precaution in the event of an emergency such
as fire. They are set to relieve at an internal pressure as
noted on the pressure vessel data plate, and are provided
in accordance with ASHRAE 15 safety code and ASME
or applicable pressure vessel code.
Sized to the requirements of applicable codes, a vent line
must run from the relief device to the outside of the build
ing. This refrigerant relief piping must include a cleanable,
vertical leg dirt trap to catch vent-stack condensation.
Vent piping must be arranged to avoid imposing a strain
on the relief connection and should include one flexible
connection.
SOUND AND VIBRATION CONSIDERATIONS
A YORK YMC² chiller is not a source of objectionable
sound and vibration in normal air conditioning applications.
Optional neoprene isolation mounts are available with
each unit to reduce vibration transmission. Optional level-
adjusting spring isolator assemblies designed for 1" (25
mm) static deflection are also available for more isolation.
YORK YMC² sound pressure level ratings will be furnished
on request. Control of sound and vibration transmission
must be taken into account in the equipment room con-
struction as well as in the selection and installation of the
equipment.
THERMAL INSULATION
No appreciable operating economy can be achieved by
thermally insulating the chiller. However, the chiller’s cold
surfaces should be insulated with a vapor barrier insu
lation sufficient to prevent condensation. A chiller can
be factory-insulated with 3/4" (19 mm) or 1-1/2" (38 mm)
thick insulation, as an option. This insulation will normally
prevent condensation in environments with dry bulb tem
peratures of 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C) and relative
humidities up to 75% [3/4" (19 mm) thickness] or 90%
[1-1/2" (38 mm) thickness]. The insulation is painted and
the surface is flexible and reasonably resistant to wear. It
is intended for a chiller installed indoors and, therefore,
no protective covering of the insulation is usually required.
If insulation is applied to the water boxes at the job site,
