Unit Location and Installation
The YVAA chillers are designed for outdoor installation, either on a roof or ground level. Adequate space must be provided around the chillers to ensure proper airflow and performance. Recommended clearances include 6 feet from the side and rear to walls, 4 feet from the control panel end to walls, and 10 feet between adjacent units. Avoid locations near windows or structures sensitive to noise, and ensure no obstructions above the unit.
Foundation Requirements
Units should be mounted on a flat, level foundation capable of supporting their weight. For roof installations, additional structural support is necessary, and spring isolators are recommended to minimize vibration. Ground installations require a substantial base, such as a concrete slab with footers below the frost line, to prevent settling and strain on refrigerant lines.
Chilled Liquid Piping
The piping system should be designed so the circulating pump discharges into the evaporator. Hand stop valves and drain connections are recommended for servicing. A strainer should protect the evaporator, and a bypass arrangement is advised for flushing. Pressure-gauge connections and a flow switch are recommended for monitoring.
Operation in Sub-Freezing Conditions
To operate in sub-freezing conditions, freeze protection measures such as installing an automatic suction service valve or ensuring continuous power and water circulation are necessary. In case of potential power loss, replacing water with a water-to-glycol concentration is advised.
Maintenance and Shutdown in Sub-Freezing Conditions
To prevent freeze damage during maintenance or shutdown, options include using glycol, draining the system, or maintaining power for heater operation. Failure to follow these recommendations can void the warranty.
Minimum Liquid Volume
A minimum liquid volume is recommended to increase thermal mass and stability. For air conditioning, 3 gallons per ton is the minimum, with a preference for 5 to 8 gallons per ton. For process applications, 6 gallons per ton is the minimum, with a preference for 7 to 11 gallons per ton.
Flow Rate and Temperature Management
Adjustments in piping can address issues with flow rates outside the evaporator's range or leaving liquid temperatures out of range. Thermal storage can be used to store cooling energy during low demand periods.
Variable Primary Flow
For variable primary flow applications, a maximum 10% per minute flow rate change is recommended. Adequate system liquid volume is crucial to prevent control problems or chiller shutdowns.
