GUIDE TO SELECTION
Capacity ratings for YORK YCAL Packaged Air-Cooled
Liquid Chillers, shown on pages 16 through 39 cover
the majority of design applications for these units. For
unusual applications or uses beyond the scope of this
catalog, please consult your nearest YORK Ofce or
representative.
SELECTION RULES
1. Ratings – Ratings may be interpolated, but must
not be extrapolated. The Ratings given on pages 16
through 39 and the DESIGN PARAMETERS given
on page 11 indicate the limits of application for these
chillers.
2. Cooler Water – Ratings are based upon 2.4 GPM
per ton which is equal to a 10°F chilled water range
and a 0.0001 fouling factor for the cooler at sea level.
Tables on pages 16 through 39 give capacity, com-
pressor kW required, cooler GPM and unit EER.
3. Condenser – Ratings are given in terms of air on
condenser in degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Copper Fin Condenser Ratings – Since the ther-
mal conductivity of copper is slightly higher than
aluminum, apply the following corrections to the
standard ratings. Tons x 0.97 and compressor kW
x 0.99.
5. Performance Data Correction Factors – Ratings
are based on 0.0001 cooler fouling factor, 10°F
chilled water range and at sea level. For operation at
different conditions, apply the appropriate correction
factor from the following table.
METHOD OF SELECTION
To select of YORK Packaged Air-Cooled Liquid Chill-
er,
the following data must be known:
1. Design Capacity in tons refrigeration (TR).
2. Entering and Leaving Liquid Temperatures.
3. Outside ambient air temperature in degrees F.
4. GPM of chilled liquid.
Determine capacity requirements from the following
formula:
GPM =
TR x 24
RANGE (°F)
EXAMPLE – WATER CHILLING
1. GIVEN: Provide a capacity of 50 Tons at 42°F leav-
ing water 10°F range, 0.0001FF, 80°F air on the
condenser, at sea level and 60 Hz.
2. FIND: Unit Size
Compressor kW Input
6. Ethylene Glycol Correction Factors – The fol-
lowing factors are to be applied to the standard
ratings for units cooling ethylene glycol.
7. Propylene Glycol Correction Factors – The fol-
lowing factors are to be applied to the standard
ratings for units cooling propylene glycol.
