Specications
POWER AND ELECTRICAL
• Johnson Controls has over 25 years of experience
designing variable speed drives specically for chiller
applications. The result is an extremely reliable air
cooled chiller system that offers industry leading ef-
ciency at real world operating conditions, valve-less
compressor loading/unloading, excellent capacity
control, high power factor and soft start.
• All controls and motor starting equipment necessary
for unit operation shall be factory wired and function
tested.
• VSD Power/Control Panel includes main power
connection(s), VSD and fan motor contactors, cur-
rent overloads, and factory wiring. Standard design
includes NEMA 3R (IP55) rating, powder painted steel
cabinet with hinged, latched, and gasket sealed outer
doors equipped with wind struts for safer servicing.
• VSD section of power panel includes a dedicated
inverter for each compressor.
• The panel includes control display access door so
display and control features can be accessed without
opening main cabinet doors.
• Two and three compressor models come standard with
single point power connection. In addition, all models
are supplied with a factory mounted and wired control
transformer that will supply all unit control voltage from
the main unit power supply. The transformer utilizes
scheduled line voltage on the primary side and pro-
vides 115V/1Ø on secondary.
• The standard power panel is equipped with terminal
block electrical connections at the point of incoming
power. An optional factory mounted circuit breaker is
available, at point of incoming single point connection,
that provides the means to disconnect power and short
circuit protection. The optional lockable operating
handle extends through the power panel door so that
power may be disconnected without opening any panel
doors.
• Short Circuit Withstand Rating of the chiller electri-
cal enclosure is 30,000 Amps for standard terminal
block connection. Ratings IAW (in accordance with)
UL508. (See Accessories and Options section: Can
be increased to 65,000 Amps for 380, 400 & 460V).
• Compressor motors are powered by a variable speed
drive. Therefore, motor current never exceeds the
rated load amps (RLA), providing soft starts with no
electrical inrush. This eliminates the motor heating
and stress always found with conventional motor
starters. In addition, by eliminating the heat build up
during starting, the required off-time between starts is
reduced to a maximum of two minutes.
• Many utility companies charge an additional fee
if power factor is below 0.95. These power factor
adjustments/penalties can affect both regular tariff
rates, as well as demand charges. All YCIV models
have a full load power factor of 95% and maintain this
level throughout the operating range. Specications
should always require the installing contractor to be
responsible for additional cost to furnish and install
power factor correction capacitors if they are not fac-
tory mounted and wired.

COMPRESSORS
Johnson Controls Engineered Systems’ Chiller Design
Team has developed a world class compressor with un-
equaled performance:
• Continuous function, microprocessor controlled, VSD
provides valveless, smooth capacity control from 100%
down to 10% of chiller capacity for two compressor
chillers and 100% down to 7.5% for three compressor
chillers. In addition, elimination of the slide valve and
associated unloading components resulted in a 50%
reduction in compressor moving parts.
• Compressors are direct drive, semihermetic, rotary
twin-screw type, including: mufer, temperature ac-
tuated ‘off-cycle’ heater, rain-tight (IP55) terminal
box, discharge shut-off service valve, and precision
machined cast iron housing mounted on neoprene
isolators.
• Reliable suction gas cooled, high efciency, acces-
sible hermetic compressor motor, full suction gas ow
through 0.006” maximum mesh screen, with inherent
internal thermal overload protection and external cur-
rent overload on all three phases.
• Suction gas screen and serviceable, 0.5 micron full
ow oil lter within the compressor housing.
• Cast iron compressor housing precisely machined
for optimal clearances and superb efciency. Entire
compressor, from suction to discharge has a Design
Working Pressure of 350 PSIG (24 bar) or higher.
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
• Independent refrigerant circuits per compressor, each
using copper refrigerant pipe formed on computer
controlled bending machines. This eliminates over
60% of system piping brazed joints as compared to
designs that use ttings, resulting in a highly reliable
and leak resistant system.
• Liquid line components include: liquid line shut-off
valve with charging port, low side pressure relief de-
vice, high adsorption removable core lter-drier, sight
glass with moisture-indicator, and electronic expansion
valve.
