Handling and Storage
SECTION 3 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
DELIVERY AND STORAGE
To ensure consistent quality and maximum reliability,
all units are tested and inspected before leaving the
factory. Units are shipped completely assembled
and containing refrigerant under pressure. Units are
shipped without export crating unless crating has been
specifi ed on the Sales Order.
If the unit is to be put into storage, prior to
installation, the following precautions should be
observed:
• The chiller must be “blocked” so that the base is
not permitted to sag or bow.
• Ensure that all openings, such as water
connections, are securely capped.
• Do not store where exposed to ambient air
temperatures exceeding 110°F (43°C).
• The condensers should be covered to protect
the fi ns from potential damage and corrosion,
particularly where building work is in progress.
• The unit should be stored in a location where there
is minimal activity in order to limit the risk of
accidental physical damage.
• To prevent inadvertent operation of the pressure
relief devices the unit must not be steam cleaned.
• It is recommended that the unit is periodically
inspected during storage.
INSPECTION
Remove any transit packing and inspect the unit to
ensure that all components have been delivered and
that no damage has occurred during transit. If any
damage is evident, it should be noted on the carrier’s
freight bill and a claim entered in accordance with the
instructions given on the advice note.
Major damage must be reported immediately to your
local YORK representative.
MOVING THE CHILLER
Prior to moving the unit, ensure that the installation
site is suitable for installing the unit and is easily
capable of supporting the weight of the unit and all
associated services.
The units are designed to be lifted using cables. A
spreader bar or frame should be used in order to
prevent damage to the unit from the lifting chains.
Units are provided with lifting eyes in the sides of the
base frame, which can be attached to directly using
shackles or safety hooks.
The unit must only be lifted by the base
frame at the points provided. Never
move the unit on rollers, or lift the unit
using a forklift truck.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging the
condenser cooling fi ns when moving the unit.
Lifting Weights
For details of weights and weight distribution, refer to
the data shipped in the chiller information packet and
unit nameplate.
