JOHNSON CONTROLS 4
FORM 201.23-EG1 (1013)
Unit Overview
POWER AND ELECTRICAL
• Johnson Controls has over 25 years of experience
designing variable speed drives specifically for chiller
applications. The result is an extremely reliable air-
cooled chiller system that offers industry leading ef-
ficiency 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 a control display access door so
display and control features can be accessed without
opening main cabinet doors.
• The chillers 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 provides 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 the point of the incoming single point
connection, providing the means to disconnect power
and short circuit protection. The optional lockable op -
erating 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 electrical
enclosure is 30,000 Amps for standard terminal block
connection. These ratings are IAW (in accordance
with) UL508. (See Accessories and Options section.
They 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 buildup
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 adjust -
ments/penalties can affect both regular tariff rates, as
well as demand charges. All YCIV models have a full
load displacement power factor of 95% and maintain
this level throughout the operating range. Specifica -
tions 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.
SEMI-HERMETIC YORK TWIN SCREW COMPRES-
SORS
Johnson Controls Engineered Systems’ Chiller Design
Team has developed a world class compressor with
unequaled performance:
• Continuous function, microprocessor controlled, VSD
provides valveless, smooth capacity control from 100%
down to 10% of chiller capacity for two compressor
chillers, 100% down to 7.5% for three compressor
chillers, and 100% down to 5% for four 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, semi hermetic, rotary
twin-screw type, including: muffler, temperature actuat -
ed ‘off-cycle’ heater, rain-tight terminal box, discharge
shut-off service valve, and precision machined cast
iron housing mounted on elastomeric isolators.
• Reliable suction-gas-cooled, high-efficiency, acces -
sible hermetic compressor motor, full suction gas flow
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
flow oil filter within the compressor housing.
• Cast iron compressor housing precisely machined
for optimal clearances and superb efficiency. Entire
compressor, from suction to discharge has a Design
Working Pressure of 350 psig (24 barg) 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 fittings, 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 filter-drier, sight
