Introduction
The YORK YHAU-CE-JE Heat Recovery Chiller/Heater, with its unique ability to convert
normally wasted heat directly into air conditioning and heating, is the ideal partner for an
on-site cogeneration facility. The PARAFLOW unit combines the exhaust heat recovery
process and YORK's extremely efficient two-stage absorption chilling cycle in one com-
pact, self-contained unit. For over 24 years, the YORK's two-stage absorption technology
has been achieving major savings in operation costs when compared to singlestage
steam-absorption or electrical centrifugal chillers.
YHAU-CE-JE absorption chillers come equipped with the same sophisticated micropro-
cessor controls found throughout Johnson Controls’ product lines, making the YHAU-CE-
JE absorption chiller the smartest absorber on today’s market.
With its high efficiency, proven reliability and the guaranteed quality of a standard perfor-
mance test, units are the ideal choice for today’s demanding specifications.

How It Works
HOW IT WORKS (HEAT RECOVERY UNITS)
The double effect exhaust gas absorption chiller uses deionized water as the refrigerant
and lithium bromide (LiBr) as the absorbent. It is the strong affinity that these two sub-
stances have for one another that makes the chiller cycle work. The vapor pressure of
the lithium bromide solution is lower than the vapor pressure of the refrigerant. The vapor
pressure of the LiBr solution is directly related to the amount of refrigerant (water) pres-
ent in the solution with the LiBr salt and the solution temperature. The entire absorption
process occurs in almost a complete vacuum.

Liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator where it is distributed over the top of the tube bun-
dle. The tubes used in the evaporator are made of low residual phosphorus deoxidized
copper. They are finned. The wall thickness before the finning is 0.6 mm.
The chilled water returns through the tubes as refrigerant droplets cover them. The heat
from the water causes the refrigerant to flash from a liquid to a vapor. The temperature at
which this happens depends on the evaporator shell pressure. The pressure is dictated
by the absorber section of the chiller.
The refrigerant vapor passes through the mist eliminators and into the absorber section of
the chiller. As the liquid refrigerant passes down through the bundle of evaporator tubes,
more and more of the refrigerant vaporizes. The refrigerant remaining in a liquid state
at the bottom drains into the refrigerant tank and is pumped back up the top of the tube
bundle where the process is repeated.
ABSORBER
Because the vapor pressure of the concentrated solution is very low, the refrigerant (wa-
ter) vapor from the evaporator flows into the absorber where it is absorbed by the LiBr so-
lution. The concentration of the LiBr solution lowers as the refrigerant (water) is absorbed
into the solution.
This dilution process generates heat. If the solution is not cooled, the process stops when
the solution temperature rises. There is also a corresponding rise in the vapor pressure.
The water flowing in the absorber tube bundle comes from the cooling tower. It cools the
LiBr solution as it flows over the tube bundle. This allows the absorption process to con-
tinue. The solution becomes more dilute as it absorbs the refrigerant vapors. When the
LiBr solution reaches the bottom of the absorber section, it enters the solution pump. The
liquid is then pumped to the generator.
The following section describes the 2-step evaporator-absorber design of the YHAU-CE-
JE exhaust gas absorption chiller:
The evaporator, as well as the absorber, is split into two sections. This design allows for
lower LiBr solution concentrations. The lower concentration reduces pressure, the poten-
tial for corrosion, and the risk of crystallization. It also improves efficiency along with other
advanced components described later.
The two evaporators are in series with respect to the chilled water flow through the tubes.
The chilled water flows through the lower evaporator tubes first and then to the upper
evaporator tubes. Each evaporator operates at a slightly different temperature and pres-
sure. The refrigerant in the lower evaporator boils at a slightly higher temperature than it
does in the upper evaporator. The chilled water is cooled in two steps as a result.
The two absorber sections are also split. The strong solution enters the top of the upper
absorber and flows down through the top absorber bundle. It then flows into the top of the
lower absorber section. The strong solution entering the upper absorber takes advantage
of the lower vapor pressure. The lower pressure allows the upper evaporator to operate
at a lower pressure and temperature.
JOHNSON CONTROLS 7
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
The cooling tower water enters the lower absorber section first. This keeps the vapor
pressure of the weaker solution as low as possible.
Both the refrigerant (water) and LiBr dispersion system are gravity fed and made of stain-
less steel.

The four plate type solution heat exchangers (high temperature solution heat exchanger,
low temperature solution heat exchanger, waste hot water heat exchanger and LTG refrig-
erant condensate heat exchanger) allow the unit to operate more efficiently.
The diluted (weak) lithium bromide solution leaving the absorber section is pumped
through various plate type heat exchangers (such as the low temperature heat exchanger,
high temperature heat exchanger, waste hot water heat exchanger and LTG refrigerant
condensate heat exchanger) before it enters the high temperature generator and low tem-
perature generator sections. These plate type heat exchangers provide cycle efficiency
by pre-heating the dilute solution. Pre-heating the dilute solution reduces the load of the
driving heat source in the high temperature generator section. The concentrated solution
flows out of the generators and back through the various heat exchangers.
The relatively high temperature solution streams from the two generators are used to pre-
heat the weak solution stream leaving the absorber.
The variable frequency drive on the solution pump, as well as the absorber spray pump,
helps achieve superior performance at part loads through savings in energy consumption.

The unique parallel flow divides the solution between the low temperature generator and
the high temperature generator sections into two parallel, balanced paths. The result is a
safer and more efficient operation at a much lower pressure than conventional series-flow
designs. The various solution to solution plate type heat exchangers optimize efficiency
by enabling effective heat transfer between the diluted (weak) and the concentrated lithi-
um bromide solutions.
The high temperature generator section is a flooded, smoke-tube design. The solution
passes through the tubes and further heats up the pre-heated dilute solution from the high
temperature heat exchanger.
The hot refrigerant vapor boiled off from the dilute solution is sent to the low temperature
generator. The strong solution left behind is returned to the high temperature heat ex-
changer. The tubes used are steel and are of a special finned type. The wall thickness is
3.2 mm.
LD21523
COMBINED GENERATOR
The upper section of the combined generator is the waste hot water-driven generator.
There, the waste hot water heats the dilute solution from the low temperature heat ex-
changer. The lower section is the low temperature generator. There, the hot refrigerant
from the high temperature generator heats the dilute solution coming from the waste hot
water-driven generator. The refrigerant vapor from the high temperature generator con-
denses into liquid and flows to the condenser.
The low temperature generator is a falling film design, ensuring superior heat transfer and
enhanced life by eliminating wear and tear at the tube supports.

Equipment Overview
GENERAL
The YHAU-CE-JE heat recovery absorption chillers are factory-packaged including the
evaporator, condenser, low temperature generator, high temperature generator, absorber,
pumps, automatic purging system, control center, interconnecting unit piping, and wiring.
The initial charge of refrigerant is supplied for each chiller. Actual shipping procedures will
depend on a number of project-specific details.
Johnson Controls factory-trained, field service representative will supervise or perform the
final leak testing, charging, the initial start-up, and provide concurrent operator instruc-
tions.
CONSTRUCTION
The chiller consists of a low temperature generator, high temperature generator, solution
heat exchangers, absorber, condenser and an evaporator. To minimize the risk of corro-
sion, the evaporator dispersion tray and the absorber dispersion tray are stainless steel.
Each dispersion tray has two step construction and any foreign material is removed from
the lithium bromide solution or the refrigerant at the first stage tray. This avoids any deg-
radation of dispersion performance from clogs.
The evaporator, absorber, condenser, low temperature generator, waste hot water gen-
erator, and high temperature generator are a shell and tube construction. The high tem-
perature generator is a smoke tube type. A shell-side pressure releasing valve is furnished
and set to blow at 0.8 bar(g).
The evaporator cycle and the absorber cycle consist of two-step (upper stage and lower
stage). This technology makes absorber solution concentration weak. Furthermore, this
technology makes the generator solution temperature lower than an ordinary absorber.
Both help to extend machine life.
The four plate-type solution heat exchangers (high temperature solution, low temperature
solution, and LTG refrigerant condensate heat exchanger and waste hot water heat ex-
changer) are equipped to preheat the diluted solution and achieve higher efficiency.
The lithium bromide solution flow type is a parallel flow cycle. The flow of weak solu-
tion pumped from the absorber initially passes through the low temperature solution heat
exchanger. This improve operating efficiency by pre-heating the solution. There are two
paths. One leads to the high temperature generator through the high temperature solution
heat exchanger. The other leads to the low temperature generator in parallel.
JOHNSON CONTROLS 11
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
High temperature generator tubes are made of 3.2 mm wall carbon steel. The evaporator
and absorber tubes are made of Low Residual Phosphorus Deoxidized Copper (C1201).
They are a finned type with a wall thickness before finning of 0.6 mm. The condenser and
low temperature generator tubes are made of 0.6 mm wall Low Residual Phosphorus
Deoxidized Copper (C1201).
WATERBOXES
The waterboxes are removable to permit tube cleaning and replacement. The absorber
and condenser waterboxes for CE400EXSJ models or larger are marine type. The water
circuit tubing is replaceable from either end of the absorption unit. All waterboxes and as-
sociated water circuit nozzles and tube bundles are designed for 10 bar(g) water tested
to 12.5 bar(g). Vent and drain connections are provided on each waterbox. All the water
connections are equipped with GB flanges. Mating flanges are not included. The waste
hot box is of welding type. The inside of the waterboxes and the waterbox covers are
coated with epoxy paint.
The YHAU-CE-JE chiller is built with an anti-crystallization system. The absorber and the
evaporator are located side by side in the same shell and are separated by the elimina-
tor. When the concentration of Lithium Bromide in the chiller goes up, the water level at
the evaporator increases and automatically spills over to the absorber. This causes the
concentration rate of the solution at the absorber to go down.
PUMPS
Solution and refrigerant pumps are hermetically sealed, self-lubricating, totally enclosed,
factory-mounted, and are wired and tested. Motor windings are not exposed to lithium
bromide or water. The suction and discharge connections for each pump are fully welded
to the unit piping to minimize the opportunity for leaks. The suction and discharge connec-
tions are equipped with factory installed isolation valves to allow for quick and easy pump
service. The pumps are designed to operate for a total of 60,000 hours. Components in
the pumps such as bearings and sealing gaskets must be inspected every 20,000 hours.
Replacement is on an as-needed basis based on the inspection.
The chiller is equipped with a purging system to remove non-condensable gases from the
unit during operation. Non-condensables are collected by an ejector and accumulated in
the purge tank. The chiller can dictate the pressure increase in the purge tank and auto-
matically remove the non-condensable gas through the operation of an electric vacuum
pump.
12 JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
The Lithium Bromide solution in the chiller contains Lithium Molybdate corrosion inhibitor.
The inhibitor minimizes the rate of ferrous metal corrosion on both the solution and refrig-
erant sides of the unit. Deionized water is supplied for the refrigerant charge. Solution and
refrigerant is charged to the chiller at the factory before the shipment.
Exhaust gas chillers are equipped with exhaust gas dampers, linkage, and the actuator
motors. These assemblies are shipped loose for field installation. The exhaust gas damp-
ers are butterfly style and have a stainless steel body.
The exhaust gas damper installed in the exhaust bypass piping is capable of modulating
the exhaust gas flow continually from 20% to 100% of the maximum chiller capacity. The
actuator motors are powered from the chillers Control Panel. The position of the actuator
motors is controlled via the Control Panel.
CONTROL PANEL
Each unit is furnished complete with a factory mounted and pre-wired control system. The
control panel enclosure is equipped with a hinged access door with lock and key. The
protection rating of the control panel is IP42. All temperature sensors and other control
devices necessary to sense unit operating parameters are factory mounted and wired to
panel. The control panel shall include a touch panel showing all system parameters in
various languages with numeric data in metric units.
The operating program is stored in non-volatile memory (SRAM) to eliminate chiller failure
due to AC power failure.
Capacity Control - The control panel automatically controls the input exhaust gas
flow rate to maintain the programmed leaving chilled water setpoint for cooling loads
ranging from 20% to 100% of design. The input exhaust gas flow rate can also be
manually adjusted from the control panel to any setting between minimum and maxi-
mum when automatic operation is not desired and when exhaust gas input is not
being inhibited by a specific operating condition.

The YHAU-CE-JE 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 microproces-
sor based control system for lithium bromide absorption chillers. The panel is configured
with a color display with keys that are integrated into the display, which are redefined with
one keystroke based on the screen displayed at that time. This revolutionary develop-
ment 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,
a single button reveals a wide array of information on a large, full-color illustration of the
appropriate component, which makes information easier to interpret. This is all mounted
in the middle of a keypad interface and installed in a locked enclosure.
The LCD allows graphic animated display of the chiller, the chiller sub-systems and sys-
tem parameters. This allows the presentation of several operating parameters at once. In
addition, you may view a graphical representation of the historical operation of the chiller
as well as the current operation. A status bar displays at all times on all screens.
The panel is available in various languages as standard. The language display may be
changed without having to turn off the chiller. Data can be displayed in either English or
Metric units plus keypad entry of setpoints to 0.1 increments.

Application Data
The following discussion is a guide in the application and installation of YHAU-CE-JE heat
recovery chillers to ensure the reliable, trouble‑free life for which this equipment was de-
signed. While this guide is directed towards normal water‑chilling applications, your local
Johnson Controls sales representative can provide complete recommendations on other
types of applications.
LOCATION
YHAU-CE-JE units make very little noise or vibration and may be generally located at any
level in a building where the construction will support the total system operating weight.
The unit site should be a floor, mounting pad or foundation which is level and capable of
supporting the operating weight of the YHAU-CE-JE chiller. The YHAU-CE-JE unit will op-
erate properly and produce maximum output only if it is installed level within 1/1000 of the
unit length in the lengthwise direction and 1/1000 of unit width in the width wise direction.
The system location should provide sufficient space around the unit to permit tube remov-
al, if required. If a door or other large opening is conveniently located opposite one end of
the system, the tubes may be extracted and replaced through these openings. Allow suffi-
cient clearance on the remaining sides of the unit for necessary access and maintenance.
Do not put flammable materials near the unit. Absorption chiller-heaters are not suitable
for outdoor installation. The machine room must be enclosed, with adequate lighting, and
proper ventilation to keep the temperature no higher than 40 °C and no lower than 10 °C.
WATER CIRCUITS
Flow Rate – For normal fluid chilling duty, evaporator and absorber/condenser flow
rates of up to 3.3 m/s are permitted in the heat exchanger tubes. Under variable
chilled and hot fluid and cooling fluid flow conditions, special attention needs to be
paid to the rate of change of the flow rate with time and the minimum/maximum ve-
locities through the tubes. Applications involving chilled and cooling fluid flow rates
which vary by more than +10% from design will require special consideration on a
case by case basis.
JOHNSON CONTROLS 19
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
• If desired, vent and drain valves may be installed with or without piping to an
open drain.
• Pressure gauges with stopcocks, and stop valves, may be installed in the inlets
and outlet of the tower and chilled water lines as close as possible to the chiller.
Connections – The standard YHAU-CE-JE unit is designed for 10 bar(g) design work-
ing pressure in both the chilled, hot and cooling water circuits. The connections (water
nozzles) to these circuits are furnished in accordance with GB flanges. Piping should be
arranged for ease of disassembly at the unit for performance of such routine maintenance
as tube cleaning. All water piping should be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and debris be-
fore final connections are made to the YHAU-CE-JE machine.
Chilled and Hot Water – The chilled/hot water circuit uses a differential pressure switch
from the standard circuit. It is factory mounted in the water nozzle connection and wired
to the chiller-heater control panel. A 10 mesh water strainer should be field‑installed in the
chilled and hot water inlet line as close as possible to the chiller-heater. If located in close
proximity to the chiller-heater, the chilled/hot water pump may be protected by the same
strainer. The flow switch and strainer assure chilled and hot water flow during unit opera-
tion. The loss or severe reduction of water flow could seriously impair the YHAU-CE-JE
unit performance or even result in tube freeze-up.
Cooling Water – Like the chilled/hot water circuit, the cooling water circuit requires a
means of proving flow. Low flow protection is provided by an optional differential pressure
switch mounted in the water nozzle connection and wired to the chiller-heater Control
Panel.

GENERAL
The YHAU-CE-JE heat recovery absorption chillers are factory-packaged including the
evaporator, condenser, waste hot water driven generator, low temperature generator, high
temperature generator, absorber, pumps, automatic purging system, control center, inter-
connecting unit piping, and wiring.
The initial charge of refrigerant is supplied for each chiller. Actual shipping procedures will
depend on a number of project-specific details.
Johnson Controls factory-trained, field service representative will supervise or perform the
final leak testing, charging, the initial start-up, and provide concurrent operator instruc-
tions.
CONSTRUCTION
The chiller consists of a low temperature generator, high temperature generator, waste
hot water generator, solution heat exchangers, absorber, condenser and an evaporator.
To minimize the risk of corrosion, the evaporator dispersion tray and the absorber dis-
persion tray are stainless steel. Each dispersion tray has two step construction and any
foreign material is removed from the lithium bromide solution or the refrigerant at the first
stage tray. This avoids any degradation of dispersion performance from clogs.
The evaporator, absorber, condenser, waste hot water driven generator, low temperature
generator, and high temperature generator are a shell and tube construction. The high
temperature generator is a smoke tube type. A shell-side pressure releasing valve is fur-
nished and set to blow at 0.8 bar(g).
The evaporator cycle and the absorber cycle consist of two-step (upper stage and lower
stage). This technology makes absorber solution concentration weak. Furthermore, this
technology makes the generator solution temperature lower than an ordinary absorber.
Both help to extend machine life.
The four plate-type solution heat exchangers (high temperature solution, low temperature
solution, LTG refrigerant condensate heat exchanger, and waste hot water heat exchang-
er) are equipped to preheat the diluted solution and achieve higher efficiency.
The unit is hermetically tight and built to very stringent standards. It operates a higher
quality vacuum, which improves performance and reliability ensuring design performance
to GB/T 18431-2014. Standard (2.03*10^-6 Pa*m3/s).
32 JOHNSON CONTROLS
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
High temperature generator tubes are made of 3.2 mm wall rectangular carbon steel
(SPHC). The evaporator and waste hot water generator and low temperature generator
tubes are made of Low Residual Phosphorus Deoxidized Copper (C1201). They are a
finned type with a wall thickness before finning of 0.6 mm.
WATERBOXES
The waterboxes are removable to permit tube cleaning and replacement. The water circuit
tubing is replaceable from either end of the absorption unit. All waterboxes and associ-
ated water circuit nozzles and tube bundles are designed for 10 bar(g) working pressure
and are water tested to 12.5 bar(g). Vent and drain connections are provided on each
waterbox. All the water connections are equipped with GB flanges. Mating flanges are not
included. The inside of the waterboxes and the waterbox covers are coated with epoxy
paint.
The YHAU-CE-JE chiller is built with an anti-crystallization system. The absorber and the
evaporator are located side by side in the same shell and are separated by the elimina-
tor. When the concentration of Lithium Bromide in the chiller goes up, the water level at
the evaporator increases and automatically spills over to the absorber. This causes the
concentration rate of the solution at the absorber to go down.
PUMPS
Solution and refrigerant pumps are hermetically sealed, self-lubricating, totally enclosed,
factory-mounted, and are wired and tested. Motor windings are not exposed to lithium
bromide or water. The suction and discharge connections for each pump are fully welded
to the unit piping to minimize the opportunity for leaks. The suction and discharge connec-
tions are equipped with factory installed isolation valves to allow for quick and easy pump
service. The pumps are designed to operate for a total of 60,000 hours. Components in
the pumps such as bearings and sealing gaskets must be inspected every 20,000 hours.
Replacement is on an as-needed basis based on the inspection.
The chiller is equipped with a purging system to remove non-condensable gases from the
unit during operation. Non-condensables are collected by an ejector and accumulated in
the purge tank. The chiller can dictate the pressure increase in the purge tank and auto-
matically remove the non-condensable gas through the operation of an electric vacuum
pump.
The purge pump is an oil rotary double stage design, and is furnished complete with a
motor, and all required accessories. The purge pump is shipped mounted on the chiller
and the connecting hose is factory installed. The purge pump oil is charged at the job site.
JOHNSON CONTROLS 33
FORM 155.33-EG2.EN.GB (1117)
The Lithium Bromide solution in the chiller contains Lithium Molybdate corrosion inhibitor.
The inhibitor minimizes the rate of ferrous metal corrosion on both the solution and refrig-
erant sides of the unit. Deionized water is supplied for the refrigerant charge. Solution and
refrigerant is charged to the chiller at the factory before the shipment.
Exhaust gas chillers are equipped with exhaust gas dampers, linkage, and the actuator
motors. These assemblies are shipped loose for field installation. The exhaust gas damp-
ers are butterfly style and have a stainless steel body.
The exhaust gas damper installed in the exhaust bypass piping is capable of modulating
the exhaust gas flow continually from 20% to 100% of the maximum chiller capacity. The
actuator motors are powered from the chillers Control Panel. The position of the actuator
motors is controlled via the Control Panel.
CONTROL PANEL
Each unit is furnished complete with a factory mounted and pre-wired control system. The
control panel enclosure is equipped with a hinged access door with lock and key. The
protection rating of the control panel is IP42. All temperature sensors and other control
devices necessary to sense unit operating parameters are factory mounted and wired to
panel. The control panel shall include a touch panel showing all system parameters in
various languages with numeric data in metric units.
The operating program is stored in non-volatile memory (SRAM) to eliminate chiller failure
due to AC power failure.
Capacity Control - The control panel automatically controls the input exhaust gas
flow rate to maintain the programmed leaving chilled water setpoint for cooling loads
ranging from 20% to 100% of design. The input exhaust gas flow rate can also be
manually adjusted from the control panel to any setting between minimum and maxi-
mum when automatic operation is not desired and when exhaust gas input is not
being inhibited by a specific operating condition.
