INTRODUCTION
YORK YCAS chillers are designed for water or wa-
 ter-glycol cooling. All units are designed to be lo cat ed 
outside on the roof of a building or at ground level.
The units are completely assembled with all in ter con -
nect ing refrigerant piping and internal wiring, ready for 
fi eld installation.
Prior to delivery, the unit is pressure tested, evacuated, 
and fully charged with refrigerant and oil in each of the 
two independent refrigerant circuits. After assembly, 
an operational test is performed with water fl owing 
through the evaporator to ensure that each refrigerant 
cir cuit operates correctly.
The unit structure is manufactured from heavy gauge, 
galvanized steel. All external structural parts are coat ed 
with “Desert Sand” baked-on enamel powder paint. This 
provides a fi nish which, when subjected to ASTM B117, 
500 hour, 5% salt spray conditions, shows breakdown 
of less than 1/8" either side of a scribed line (equiv a lent 
to ASTM D1654 rating of “6”).
All exposed power wiring is be routed through liquid-
tight, non-metallic conduit.
General Description
The Air Cooled Screw Chiller utilizes many com po nents 
which are the same or nearly the same as a stan dard 
reciprocating chiller of a similar size. This in cludes 
mod u lar frame rails, condenser, fans and evap o ra tor.
The chiller consists of 3 or 4 screw compressors in a 
cor re spond ing number of separate refrigerant circuits, 
a sin gle shell and tube DX counterfl ow evaporator, 
econ o miz ers, an air cooled condenser, and expansion 
valves.
Compressor
The semi-hermetic rotary twin-screw compressor is 
designed for industrial refrigeration applications and 
ensures high operational effi ciencies and reliable per-
 for mance. Capacity control is achieved through a sin gle 
slide valve. The compressor is a positive dis place ment 
type characterized by two helically grooved rotors which 
are manufactured from forged steel. The 60 Hz motor op-
erates at 3550 RPM to direct drive the male rotor which 
in turn drives the female rotor on a light fi lm of oil.
