running compressor. An end switch at both the closed
and open positions provides indication of full open and
full closed positions. The valves can be manually con-
trolled.
Each compressor Pre-rotation Vane assembly is
equipped with a potentiometer to provide vane posi-
tion. A calibration procedure assures displayed posi-
tion accuracy. The vanes can be manually controlled.
Each compressor also has a Discharge Temperature
thermistor and High Pressure safety device.
There are two Liquid Line Solenoid Valves and two
Oil Return Solenoid Valves, one for each compressor.

SYSTEM OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The following is a high level description of the chill-
er control. It describes the overall operation. Control
Center components, chiller components and program-
mable setpoints are referenced. See
to view the chiller operation flowchart.
The YD dual compressor chiller consists of one evapo-
rator, one condenser, two oil pumps and two compres-
sors. Other than capacity control, the basic operation is
similar to a standard YK Centrifugal Chiller.
The use of two compressors requires valves on the dis-
charge line of each compressor. When a compressor
is shutdown, its discharge valve is closed to prevent
compressor backspin due to a gas flow from the
