York manufacturers a range of different options in chillers for industrial types of applications. These chillers can be air-cooled or water-cooled, and the company is known for absorption types of chillers. All of these systems are used in small and large businesses and applications, as well as in industrial plants, processing facilities and any other similar type of application.
Each of the chiller systems uses one or more motors. The York chiller motors are part of the equipment, and with many of the units, the motors are uniquely designed to fit the specific mounting and demands required by the chiller system. Whenever possible, if the motor needs to be replaced rather than repaired, choose a new or refurbished identical motor to ensure compatibility with the operation of the system.
Most of the units are designed with a specific type of motor starter option. This includes different voltages, and are designed to work with both unit and floor mounted assemblies. The system also operates on a variable speed drive, ensuring the highest level of efficiency and control.
Lubrication of York Chiller Motors
One of the most critical aspects of maintaining York chiller motors is to follow a regular lubrication schedule. The various models and motors that come with the York chillers will have recommendations for lubrication of the bearings and overall motor maintenance.
Follow both the schedule and the instructions in the operation and maintenance manual for the specific chiller. If that information is no longer available, download the manual online or contact the company for specific information based on the chiller unit and the motor information.
Also, be sure to use the grease brand and type recommended in the operating manual. Changing grease types can throw off the maintenance schedule or reduce the ability for the grease to stand up to the operating conditions of the chiller unit.
