CONNECTION TYPES AND SIZES
For connection sizes relevant to individual models refer
to the Technical Data Section.
COOLER CONNECTIONS
Standard chilled liquid connections on all coolers are of
the Victaulic Groove type.
Option Flanges
One of two types of flanges may be fitted, depending
on the customer or local Pressure Vessel Code require-
ments. These are Victaulic-Adapter flanges, normally
supplied loose; or weld flanges, which may be supplied
loose or ready-fitted. Victaulic-Adapter and weld flange
dimensions are to ISO 7005 - NP10.
water treatment will adversely affect the heat exchanger
surfaces and therefore unit performance. Foreign mat-
ter in the water system(s) can increase the heat ex-
changer pressure drop, reducing the flow rate and caus-
ing potential damage to the heat exchanger tubes.
Aerated, brackish or salt water is not recommended for
use in the water system(s). YORK recommends that a
water treatment specialist is consulted to determine that
the proposed water composition will not affect the evapo-
rator materials of carbon steel and copper. The pH value
of the water flowing through the cooler must be kept
between 7 and 8.5.
PIPEWORK ARRANGEMENT
The following is a suggested pipework arrangement for
single unit installations. For multiple unit installations,
each unit should be piped as shown.

REFRIGERANT RELIEF VALVE PIPING
Coolers are protected against internal refrigerant over-
pressure by refrigerant relief valves. A pressure relief
valve is mounted on each of the main refrigerant lines
connecting the cooler to the compressors.
It is recommended that a piece of pipe is fitted to each
valve and directed so that when the valve is activated,
the release of high pressure gas and liquid cannot be a
danger or cause injury. For indoor installations, pres-
sure relief valves should be piped to the exterior of the
building.
