General chiller information and safety
YORK
®
YVAM
™
chillers are manufactured to the highest design and construction standards to
ensure high performance, reliability, and adaptability to all types of cooling installations.
The unit is intended for cooling water or glycol solutions and is not suitable for purposes other than
those specified in this manual.
Rigging and lifting must be done by a professional rigger in accordance with a written rigging
and lifting plan. The most appropriate rigging and lifting method depends on job specific factors,
such as the rigging equipment available and site needs. As a result, a professional rigger must
determine the rigging and lifting method to be used, and it is beyond the scope of this manual to
specify rigging and lifting details.
This manual contains all the information required for correct operation and maintenance of the
chiller. Read the manual thoroughly before attempting to operate or service the unit.
All procedures detailed in the manual, including commissioning, operation and maintenance tasks
must be performed by suitably trained and qualified personnel.
The manufacturer is not liable for any injury or damage caused by incorrect installation,
commissioning, operation, or maintenance resulting from a failure to follow the procedures and
instructions detailed in the manuals.
Warranty
Johnson Controls warrants YVAM chillers in accordance with the Limited Warranty Engineered
Systems Equipment (Form 50.05-NM2). Johnson Controls warrants all equipment and materials
against defects in workmanship and materials for a period of eighteen months from date of
shipment or 12 months from date of start-up, whichever comes first, unless labor or extended
warranty has been purchased as part of the contract.
The warranty is limited to parts-only replacement and shipping of any faulty part, or sub-assembly,
which has failed due to poor quality or manufacturing errors. All claims must be supported by
evidence that the failure has occurred within the warranty period, and that the unit has been
operated within the designed parameters specified. All warranty claims must specify the unit
model, serial number, order number, and run hours or starts. Model and serial number information
is printed on the unit identification plate.
The unit warranty is void if any modification to the unit is carried out without previously written
approval from Johnson Controls.
For warranty purposes, the following conditions must be satisfied:
• The initial start of the unit must be carried out by trained personnel from an authorized Johnson
Controls Service Center.
• Only genuine YORK approved spare parts, coolants, and refrigerants must be used.
• All the scheduled maintenance operations must be performed at the specified times by suitably
trained and qualified personnel.
• Failure to satisfy any of these conditions automatically voids the warranty. Refer to Form 50.05-
NM2 for complete details.
