YORK INTERNATIONAL 33
FORM 160.49-O2
be no lower than the value determined by referring to
the formula below:
100
Min. ECWT = LCHWT—C RANGE + 5 + (
15 x % LOAD
)
where:
ECWT = entering condensing water temperature
LCHWT = leaving chilled water temperature
C RANGE = condensing water temperature range
At start-up, the entering condenser water temperature
may be as much as 25°F colder than the standby re-
turn chilled water temperature. Cooling tower fan
cycling will normally provide adequate control of the
entering condenser water temperature on most instal-
lations.
CHECKING OPERATION
During operation, the following conditions should be
periodically checked:
1. On starting, the prerotation vanes should remain
closed until the compressor motor is up to speed
on the run winding; then the vane motor should cause
the vanes to modulate with load requirements.
2. Be sure the oil pump is operating while unit is run-
ning.
3. Check Oil Pressure display. A gradual decrease in
bearing oil pressure of 5 to 10 psi (with constant
suction and discharge pressures) may be an indi-
cation of a dirty filter. The filter should be replaced
when pressure loss is 30% or more of the original
pressure. The actual bearing oil pressure will vary
with compressor suction and discharge pressures.
When a new system is first operated under normal
full load conditions, the bearing oil pressure should
be recorded as a reference point with which to com-
pare subsequent readings.
OPERATING LOG SHEET
A permanent daily record of system operating condi-
tions (temperatures and pressures) recorded at regu-
lar intervals throughout each 24 hour operating period
should be kept.
An optional status printer is available for this purpose

for recording test data on chiller systems. It is avail-
able from the factory in pads of 50 sheets each under
Form 160.44-F6 and may be obtained through the nearest
