  If the discharge pressure of your Johnson Controls Chiller is abnormally high, it could be due to several reasons. One potential cause is dirty or scaled condenser tubes. To address this, clean the condenser tubes and inspect water conditioning. Another cause is high condenser water temperature, so reduce the condenser water inlet temperature, checking the cooling tower and water circulation. Also, ensure there is sufficient condensing water flow by increasing the quantity of water through the condenser to the correct value.

Why is the suction pressure abnormally low in my Johnson Controls York OptiView YK G?

  If your Johnson Controls Chiller has abnormally low suction pressure, it may be due to an insufficient charge of refrigerant. Check for leaks and charge refrigerant into the system. It could also be a variable orifice problem, so remove any obstruction. Another cause can be dirty or restricted evaporator tubes, so clean them. Finally, check the pre-rotation vane motor operation and the setting of the low water temperature cutout, as there may be insufficient load for the system capacity.

What to do if the chilled water temperature is high in my Johnson Controls Chiller?

  Jeffrey Molina DDSAug 26, 2025
  If your Johnson Controls Chiller has a high chilled water temperature, it could be caused by pre-rotation vanes failing to open. Check the pre-rotation vane motor positioning circuit. Another potential cause is system overload. Ensure the vanes are wide open (without overloading the motor) until the load decreases.

  Tracy CollinsAug 28, 2025
  If the oil pump vibrates or is noisy in your Johnson Controls Chiller, it might be due to insufficient oil reaching the pump suction inlet. Check the oil level. Alternatively, the oil pump may be worn or failed, requiring repair or replacement.

  If the oil refrigerant return is not functioning in your Johnson Controls Chiller, the filter-drier in the oil return system may be dirty. Replace the old filter-drier with a new one. Another cause could be a clogged jet or orifice of the oil return jet. Remove the jet, inspect it for dirt, remove the dirt using a solvent, and then replace the jet.
