Mechanical Specifications
YORK Model VDC-113D60 through VDC-266C10 AirCooled Condensers are available in 66 standard model
sizes for air conditioning and refrigeration applications,
and may be used with any type of compressor for halocarbon refrigerants. Unit with fan cycling will operate to
40F minimum ambient. These units are also available
for industrial fluid cooling. Contact Johnson Controls for
fluid-cooling capacity data and other special applications.
Air-cooled condensers operate dry (requiring a minimum
of maintenance) and do not require pump and water piping
installation. Vertical airflow units are standard design for
low silhouette applications.
LEGS Heavy-gauge galvanized steel with foot pads and
mounting holes on the bottom of each leg.

FORM 195.29-EG1 (410)

HEADERS Heavy-wall copper tube headers are designed for low pressure loss and proper refrigerant distribution. Multiple-circuit condensers feature completely
separate headers for each system circuit so there is no
danger of refrigerant leaking between circuits. Gas inlet
and liquid outlet connections are provided. Integral subcooling is available.
HOUSING Heavy-gauge galvanized steel panels are
assembled with high-tensile fasteners. Fan panels have
long, smooth-radius outlet orifices to ensure high efficiency and low noise level.
FAN GUARDS Heavy-gauge OSHA accepted fan guard
design uses wire and rod treated to resist rust and corrosion.

COIL Seamless copper tubes are expanded into fullcollar aluminum fins. Fins have a corrugated surface to
create high air-side heat transfer. Fin edges are rippled
to work harden and stiffen material for resistance to mechanical damage. Return bends and headers are brazed
with highly ductile silver-bearing copper alloy. Coil casings
and tubesheets are manufactured from galvanized steel.
The tubesheets include aluminum inserts to prevent wear
at the juncture of the tubes and tubesheets.

FANS High-efficiency, high-strength airfoil-profile blade

fans are used for low noise and energy-efficient performance.

Prior to shipment, coils are pressure tested, dehydrated,

evacuated, pressurized with dry air or nitrogen, and
sealed.

MOTOR MOUNTS Heavy-gauge galvanized steel channels are used to mount motors.

3/8 in. OD tubes are used in coils up to four-fan lengths.

1/2 in. OD tubes are used in five- and six-fan lengths.
The 3/8 in. OD tube coils are available with a 650 psig (45
barg) design pressure for up to 250F (121C) refrigerant
inlet temperature for R-410A condensing and are pressure
tested at 650 psig (45 barg) with dry air. The 1/2 in. OD
tube coils have a 360 psig (25 barg) design pressure for
up to 250F (121C) refrigerant inlet temperature. They
are tested at 450 psig (31 barg) with dry air.

Selection Data
YORK remote air-cooled condensers are rated by Total
Heat of Rejection (THR) at the condenser (expressed
in Btu/h), at sea level air density. Total Heat of Rejection is the sum of the net refrigeration at the evaporator
(compressor capacity) plus the energy input into the refrigerant by the compressor (heat of compression). Due
to variations in the heat of compression by compressor
type and manufacturer, it is recommended that the heat
of compression value is obtained from the compressor
manufacturer.

However, if this is not available the Total Heat of Rejection can be estimated by applying correction factors and
information in the tables below to the evaporator load to
determine the THR requirement. Please refer to the examples on the following page for the estimation procedure.
The two formulas that will be used are:

Two-stage open compressor applications:

Two-stage suction-cooled hermetic compressor applications:

THR = compressor capacity (BTUH) + (2545 x bhp)

THR = compressor capacity (BTUH) + (3413 x kW)

Condenser Selection: Example

Suction-cooled compressor capacity ...250,000 Btu/h
Evaporator or suction temperature ..40F
Refrigerant ..R-410A
Condensing temperature desired .......120F
Ambient air design temperature ..95F
Temperature difference (TD) ...25F
Subcooling ...10F
Elevation ......3000 ft
Solution:
Step 1. Estimate Condenser THR (if THR is provided, skip to step 2)
THR = Compressor Capacity * Heat of Compression Factor
1. From Table 2, opposite 40F evaporator temperature and under 120F condensing, select heat of compression
factor 1.27.
2. Multiply compressor or evaporator capacity by factor: THR = 250,000 Btuh x 1.27 = 317,500 Btuh.
Step 2. Correct THR for Elevation and Ambient Temperature
THR (corrected to sea level) = THR Air Density Correction Factor
1. From Table 3, under 3000 ft. elevation and opposite (interpolated) 95F air temp, select air density correction factor
0.856.
2. Divide THR (from step 1) by factor: THR (corrected) = 317,500 Btuh 0.856 = 370,911 Btuh (at sea level)
Step 3. Correct for Subcooling
THR (subcooling adjusted) = THR Subcooling Correction Factor
1. From table 4, select 0.94 factor under 10F Subcooling column
2. Divide THR (from step 2) by factor: THR (subcooling adjusted) = 370,911 Btuh 0.94 = 394,586 Btuh (adjusted
for sea level and subcooling)
Step 4. Select Condenser
Condenser ratings are provided as Btuh-F TD, so required THR must be divided by TD to obtain basic unit rating at
1F TD.
1. Divide required unit capacity by TD (25F) to obtain basic unit rating at 1F TD: 394,586 Btu h 25F = 15,783
Btuh-F TD.
2. From Unit Ratings table under R-410A heat rejection, select model VDC-126D60 with a base capacity of 16,793
Btuh-F TD.
Step 5. Calculate actual operating TD for unit selected
Actual operating TD = THR (corrected) divided by basic unit capacity.
1. To determine TD at which unit will operate, divide THR (corrected) by base unit capacity: 394,586 Btuh 16,793
Btuh-F TD: TD = 23.5F TD.

PIPING DIAGRAMS
The above piping diagram covers a common application
where the air-cooled condenser is located on the same
elevation as the compressor and receiver. The discharge
line in this case is not too critical. The main problem usually associated with this arrangement is insufficient vertical
height to allow free draining of the liquid refrigerant from
the condenser coil to the receiver.
To prevent gas binding in the receiver and liquid build-up
in the condenser coil, locate the receiver as far below the
condenser outlet as possible. Liquid lines must be free of
any loops or traps and horizontal runs must be pitched
toward the receiver.

Compressor

Receiver

FIGURE 3*
This diagram illustrates a typical piping arrangement
where the remote air-cooled condenser is located on a
higher elevation than the compressor or receiver. In this arrangement, the design of the discharge line is very critical
and should be modified to the arrangement in diagram Fig.
2, unless a very constant and steady load is maintained.

FIGURE 2*
This piping diagram is recommended for applications of
capacity controlled systems. Discharge line A is sized for
the maximum load conditions. Discharge line B is sized
for the minimum loading conditions at sufficient velocity
to carry the oil to the condenser at the reduced capacity.

This diagram illustrates another common application

where two or more separate air-cooled condensers are
interconnected to a single compressor. In this case, each
condenser must have both equal capacity and equal
pressure drop. The piping must also be so arranged as to
insure equal lengths to and from each condenser. If unlike
piping and/or unequal condensers are used, the unequal
pressure drop will cause liquid to build up in one of the
condensers, reducing its effective capacity.

* Note: Receivers are shown in Figures 1 through 4 for convenience. Many applications do not require receivers when the volume of the refrigerant
charge does not exceed 80% of the condenser coil internal volume and can be entirely stored in the condenser coil.

VDC PRESSURE SETTING GUIDELINES
When a YORK remote condenser type VDC is used with a
YCRL chiller, the VDC must be ordered and installed with
the Head Pressure Control High Pressure option which
providesYORK model P470 pressure controllers factory
mounted in the VDC control panel. Operating manuals
for the P470 controllers are included in the VDC control
panel to allow field setup of the fan staging.
Johnson Controls recommends the following pressure set
points for general use; if excessive fan cycling is noted
the final stage of cycling should be adjusted (deadband
increased). The dead band proposed in these guidelines
is set to 125 psi, which is the standard setting for JCI air
cooled R410 units (YLAA, YCAL).
2 stage units (2 fan single wide, 4 fan double wide VDC):
Stage 1, ON when any compressor is ON
Stage 2, ON at 380 psig, OFF at 255 psig
3 stage units (3 fan single wide, 6 fan double wide VDC):
Stage 1, ON when any compressor is ON
Stage 2, ON at 380 psig, OFF at 255psig
Stage 3, ON at 405 psig, OFF at 280 psig
4 stage units (4 fan single wide, 8 fan double wide VDC):
Stage 1, ON when any compressor is ON
Stage 2, ON at 380 psig, OFF at 255 psig
Stage 3, ON at 405 psig, OFF at 280 psig
Stage 4, ON at 430 psig, OFF at 305 psig
Compressor will unload when the discharge pressure
reaches 565 psig.
LOW AMBIENT OPERATION
Since air-cooled condensers are often required to operate over a wide range of ambient air temperatures and
variable loading conditions, provision must be made
to maintain the overall system balance. Any air-cooled
condenser tends to run at a low head pressure when
operating in a low ambient air temperature. Low head
pressures will result in poor expansion valve operation
and this will in turn cause poor system operation due to
the pressure imbalance.
Air conditioning applications generally allow the operating
head pressure to vary with the ambient air temperature
within certain limits, without adversely affecting the system
operation. The capacity of an air-cooled condenser is
directly proportional to the TD, which is the temperature
difference between the air temperature entering the condenser and the condensing temperature. A condenser is
usually selected to operate on a TD suitable for summer
ambient air conditions. The capacity of the condenser is
26

FORM 195.29-EG1 (410)

increased when operated at the lower ambient temperature which directly reduces the system head pressure.
The lower limit of this varying head pressure is dependent
upon the required pressure drop across the thermostatic
expansion valve and, for normal air conditioning applications, should be maintained above that corresponding to
a condensing temperature of 65 to 70F. This, in effect,
corresponds to an ambient air temperature lower limit of
approximately 55 to 60F.
Air conditioning is usually not required at these ambient
temperatures. However, to ensure sufficient receiver pressure during compressor start-up, it is recommended that
a high-pressure cut-in switch be used to allow the head
pressure to rise before the condenser fan starts.
Many applications, such as commercial refrigeration, are
such that operation is required below the above ranges
(55 to 60F). We offer three methods to maintain a desired condensing pressure: Fan cycling, flood-back valves,
combination fan cycling and flood-back valves.
LOW AMBIENT CONTROL OPTIONS FAN CYCLING
CONTROL
On multiple-fan units, individual fan sections can be
cycled to not exceed nominal condenser capacity at low
ambient conditions. Table 8 provides minimum ambient
temperatures for effective fan cycle control. Lower ambient
temperatures than listed are not recommended for this
method of control. Table 9 gives temperature settings for
all units referenced to various design temperature differences. In lieu of temperature control, fan cycling can be
controlled by pressure controls using a factory provided
pressure transducer inserted (by others) into condenser
inlet piping. Specify the type of control when ordering this
option (temperature for down to 40F ambient and pressure for down to 0F ambient).
FLOODING-TYPE CONDENSER CONTROL
This method utilizes head pressure control valves to
maintain a predetermined setting. When the ambient
temperature and/or the condensing load falls below the
design condition, a reduction of the condensing pressure will occur. A valve in the leaving refrigerant line of
the condenser will partially flood the coil to maintain the
preset pressure for the condenser. Table 16 gives the
setting and capacity data for the head pressure control
valve. Multiple valve installations can be made to obtain
required capacity on a circuit.
COMBINATION FLOODING/FAN CYCLING
The condenser fan cycle control package cycles the fans
off as the ambient temperature drops below the setting of
JOHNSON CONTROLS

FORM 195.29-EG1 (410)

the thermostat(s). When the maximum range of fan cycling

is reached, the flood-back valves partially flood the coil to

maintain condensing pressure. The number one fan runs

constantly to prevent excessive head pressure.

MULTIPLE CIRCUIT AIR COOLED CONDENSERS

TABLE 11 REFRIGERANT CORRECTIONS

VDC air-cooled condensers are available with custom

designed, multiple-circuit construction to provide condensing surface for a multitude of small refrigeration systems
or fixtures in a single condenser unit.

R-22

Since more than one type of refrigerant is used in a supermarket application, the various systems must be corrected
to a common refrigerant capacity.

Solution:
1. From Table 2, pg 6, the pertinent evaporator temperature for each system, select heat of compression
factors and enter them in column 5 of Table 12.

REFRIGERANT CORRECTION FACTOR

Multiply evaporator or compressor capacity by the refrigerant correction factor to correct to R-134a capacity.
In order to match the required number of circuits to the
number of circuits available, it is sometimes necessary
to make some compromises. If the total number of tubes
required is more than the number supplied, consideration
should be given to increasing the TD slightly on 1 or 2
circuits, or selecting the next larger size condenser. If the
total number of tubes required is less than the number supplied, the remaining tubes can be held for spare, or added
to one or more of the other circuits to reduce the TD and
operate the system at a lower condensing temperature.

2. From Table 3 pg 6, select an air-density correction

factor of 0.856 and enter it in column 6, Table 12.
3. From Table 11 select the pertinent refrigerant correction factor for each system and enter it in column 7,
Table 12.
4. From Table 4 select the pertinent subcooling correction factor for each system and enter it in column 8,
Table 12.

Our experience tells us to avoid locating small circuits at

the outside edge of the coil.

5. For each system, multiply the compressor capacity (column 4) by the heat of compression (column
5), then divide by the air-density correction factor
(column 6), multiply by refrigerant correction factor
(column 7), and divide by the operating TD (column
9). Enter in column 10.

Example: Select a condenser to operate at an elevation

of 3000 ft above sea level in an ambient of 95F.
System number, refrigerants, evaporator or suction temperatures, capacities, and TDs are tabulated in columns 1,
2, 3, 4, and 9 in Table 12. All systems have suction-cooled
hermetic compressors and required 10F subcooling.

6. Add values in column 10 to determine Total Required

Heat Rejection, Btu/h-F TD.

7. From Table 10, select model VDC-234D60 with adequate Heat Rejection of 40,595 Btu/h-F TD.
8. Divide the models Heat Rejection by Number of
Circuits Available from Table 8 to determine heat rejection per circuit. Double-wide model VDC-234D60
has 28 circuits available per coil: 40,595 (2 x 28) =
725 Btu/h-F TD heat rejection per circuit.
9. For each system, determine the number of circuits
required by dividing the required heat rejection (column 10) by the heat rejection per circuit (column 11).
Add the required number of circuits to column 12.

Final Selection: The selected VDC-234D60 has 56 coil

circuit selections, and only 54 are required so the circuit
quantities can be adjusted or spares added. This example
adjusts the circuit quantities. Small circuits should be
located near the center of the coil. Therefore, the following arrangement is advised, listed left to right, facing the
header end: System 1 = 9 circuits; System 3 = 11 circuits;
System 4 = 7 circuits, (total circuits for left coil = 27 circuits); System 2 = 12 circuits; System 5 = 15 circuits, (total
circuits for right coil = 27 circuits). System splits should
match the natural coil split, avoiding a circuit that straddles
the natural coil split whenever possible. Straddled circuits
shall be field manifolded.

10. Confirm that model VDC-234D60 has enough circuits.
