SECTION 5 – LEVELING THE UNIT
The YORK ParaFlow
TM
Chiller/Heater will operate
prop er ly and produce maximum output only if it is
installed level. Therefore, it is important that the unit
be leveled when installed in place, and checked again
(and adjusted if necessary) after the piping, solution,
refrigerant and system water have been installed.
G-style units are provided with punch-marked lev el-
ing lines and an indicating sticker at each level line on
the tube sheets. See photo in Figure 4 on page 21.
Use these lines as ref er ence points when lev el ing the
unit. Do not use the bot tom of the tube sheet or any
part of the indicating sticker.

S-style units are built on a skid and require that the
unit be level within 1 inch in 1000. S-style units also

Use a transparent or semitransparent flexible hose.

els of points A-B, A-C, and A-D. Secure one end of
the hose to corner A with tape. Move the other end
of the hose to the opposite corner and fasten with
tape. Fill the hose with water until the wa ter lev el in
the hose cor re sponds to the unit level mark on the
tubesheet at corner A. The distance between the unit
level mark on the unit tubesheet and the water level
in the hose at the opposite end of the unit is how far
the unit is out-of-level. The unit should be lev eled
to with in 1 inch in 1000, both length wise and side-
