This guy is very very good at explaining the systems on the chiller in pretty good detail without overwhelming the viewer with information they might not know. This is one of the best chiller videos I've seen on KZread. Good job I hope to see more videos like this from you.

Outstanding video and explanation Holden. I haven't ever had the privilege to get my hands on one of these yet. Hopefully i will one day. So much to learn, and thats what drives me to learn more. I hate not knowing how something works and how it is supposed to work.....so i study up and get the knowledge. Your channel is top notch and so are you.

Thank you for all the information. Please keep the videos like this coming.

Wow I stumbled upon this video looking for some insight since I'm soon taking the FDNY test and boy is this one great. Thank you so much for all the info bro you are doing great keep going.

Very good information explaining the operation of the YK l operated two 750 ton York Chillers in the facility where l work.

Pretty amazing vídeo. Thank you.

Really Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Nice piece of equipment. The only chiller I have experience on is a 100 ton Carrier. I love the display on that York. The Carrier had no info screen, only blinking LED indicators you had to count flashes for code numbers.

Legit content, I just took over a building with 4 York water cooled chillers. I have a up hill climb, coming from primarily Carrier, and Trane water cooled and roof top air cool.

Outstanding video!!

Great peice of mechinary and technology. And very well explained. Have a small question on the cooling system for the electronic panel. Why would york take the risk of having having the cooler inside the panel.if it's a cooler there is definitely water involved, which has a possibility of leaking out.

Also speed of variable fans and electronic expansion valve positions. We use Schneider plc's and I'm trying to incorporate smart monitoring as a test, monitoring and diagnostic tool, but it has to have extensive trending capabilities.

I have a question, I have two Chillers Yorks the same as the one in the video, but one of them goes into alarm because the water is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit and triggers the "Position MBC-Z12" alarm, after a weekend. They don't work but I turn on another cooler and after the temp drops below 65 degrees Fahrenheit it works fine, do you have any comments on why this may be happening? Thanks

Hi, Im having some issues on a YORK YMWH series, its got two solenoids for the slide valve positioning, and Im not getting 110v on the Load side, traced fault to a relay wich 24v coil is not getting 24v, any advise as to where this 24v comes from,Ive traced the wires from A1 and A2 on the relay but it goes to a armoured cable wich leads out of the panel and onto a cable rack and at the moment unaccessible, the main power comes from a panel in the plants MCC the motor feeds from here and the vsd is also mounted in this panel inside the mcc, does the relay also feed from there?

im getting refrigerant back through the line past the filter and chiller is throwing a differential alert

That us the most engine lime a/c ever...fhlukken sick

Man you know alot shit LOL!! Good teachers are very hard to come by on youtube..👨‍🏫awsome video

Do these machines have a purge system? You said it was a high pressure machine. Is the evaporator running a positive pressure? I guess if it is, you wouldn’t need the purge. Most machines I was familiar with ran in a pretty good vacuum.I did have one high pressure carrier system that was multi stage, high speed, and ran R22. Have you ever worked on a Carrier Flowtronic air cooled chiller? Those were the biggest POS Machines ever made. That was back in the 90”s. I did work on some carrier 5H120 recip chillers, some electric, and some with natural gas engines.

Awesome video. I work for the factory with JCI as a Journeyman. Your references are pretty spot on. I've been learning about this machine for a few months now. I have more experience with Trane & carrier chillers. Is it possible to pump down the refrigerant all in one barrel (expressly the evap) to repair a leak on the liquid line?

Your correct Stanley. The stall detector is a pressure transmitter with a very fast response time. Almost like a microphone but for high pressure. It listens for the stall. Certainly isn’t temperature

@loweskydoleo1332

​@@kc5vgw Correct, Carriers with Variable diffusers work the same way, they "look" for pressure fluctuations, not temperature. Stall preceeds surge, its a very complex dynamic where blade speeds create flow separation, "turbulence" that is picked up by the pressure sensor, as a response VGD moves to attach the flow and move the compressor away from surge. Again is a very complex area of centrifugal compressor operation best left for engineers to figure out, on the tech level we just need to make sure it works as per logic of operation and that everything is calibrated. It can get confusing very quick! It is of particular importance in variable speed compressors.

The problem is most mechanics in the field never get a chance to work on centrifugal chillers. Even the factory only allows a selected group to work on centrfugals

11:08 the chinese made YK chiller without equip the VGD, the compressor easy get surge.

HI! quick question. For those VFD Oil pumps, when you bypass the drive to send power straight to the motor. would that indicate a bearing issue or something to tell you the motor is on it's way to needing service or replacement?

Why is your Condenser drop leg temperature higher than your Condenser saturation temperature at 22:10.

Because they want a liquid seal on the sub cooler. There is a plate over the sub cooler bundle. If you get vapor under it then you have noise, turbulence, instability, and high oil temps as the oil cooler won’t be as effective. This applies on the YK. Yt, different outcome but they want the liquid seal
