General
Each YORK® YVWH variable speed screw chiller will be completely factory-packaged including evaporator, condenser, compressor, motor, touch-
screen control center and all interconnecting unit piping and wiring. The chiller will be painted prior to shipment and will be packaged to protect the
unit during shipment. Performance will be certified in accordance with AHRI Standard 550/590. The initial charge of refrigerant and oil will be supplied
for each unit.

Touch Screen Control Center

The YORK® Graphic Display Control Center, furnished as standard

on each chiller, provides the ultimate in efficiency, monitoring, data
recording, chiller protection and operating ease. The control center is
a factory-mounted, wired and tested state-of-the-art microprocessor
based control system for R-134a screw chillers. The panel is
configured with a 7 inch diagonal color liquid Crystal Display(LCD)
touch screen, which makes chiller operation quicker and easier than
ever before. Instead of requiring keystroke after keystroke to hunt for
information on a small monochrome LCD screen, touching the screen
reveals a wide array of information on a large, full-color illustration of
the appropriate component, which makes performance and operation
easier to monitor.
The control panel has independent over-current protection and
