The chiller with the OptiView Control Center is applied
with an Electro-Mechanical Starter, YORK Solid State

Earlier vintage chillers are equipped with the Mod “A”
Solid State Starter. This starter contains a Trigger Board
that interfaces to a Logic Board that is installed inside of
the Control Center.

SYSTEM OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The YORK Model YK Chiller is commonly applied to
large air conditioning systems, but may be used on oth-

mounted to a compressor (with integral speed increasing
