out opening main cabinet doors. All exposed power
wiring is routed through liquid-tight, UV-stabilized,
non-metallic conduit.
Building automation system capabilities
The E-Link Gateway provides an economical and ver-
satile connection between YORK equipment and open/
standard protocols. It efficiently manages the com-
munication protocols currently used by YORK equip-
ment, exposing the data in a consistent, organized, and
defined fashion. The E-Link Gateway is available as a
field-installed option on YVAA. A simple switch se-
lection allows configuration of the required equipment
profile and output protocol, which reduces equipment
connectivity startup time.
Microcomputer control center
The microcomputer control center (see
) provides automatic control of chiller
operation including compressor start/ stop and load/
unload anti-recycle timers, condenser fans, evapora-
tor pump, evaporator heater, unit alarm contacts and
run signal contacts. The microcomputer control center
comes online as soon as the main power switch on the
unit is switched on; immediately, the microcomputer
control center will begin to check all variables with a
frequency ranging from 30 seconds to almost continu-
ous monitoring.
The microprocessor controls the unit’s capacity by
matching the actual leaving chilled water tempera-
ture (LCWT) to the user-defined setpoint. Factors that
may cause the system’s actual LCWT to fluctuate are
changes in ambient temperature, loop flow rate, load,
and loop volume. The control system reacts to such
changes by adjusting the number of compressors that
are on and the loading of each compressor in order to
keep the LCWT at the setpoint.
The control system logic monitors the rate at which the
LCWT is approaching the setpoint to ramp up or down
compressor capacity as required.Variable frequency
drive allows the compressor capacity to match the load.
