One of my concerns was whether it was a "CB" compressor. York used to designate their compressors with numbers like 67, 76, 85, 95...etc. Those numbers represented the diameter of the inlet of the impeller in inches. A 67 was 6.7" at the inlet of the impeller and so on. The CB was somewhere between an 85 and 95, if I remember correctly. And I think the CB was designated as a C3 in the model number. You have a C2 which leads me to believe it's a 76 compressor.

They had some problems with the balance piston seal in the CB compressor. Thought that could be a contributing problem. If you want to get more in depth, start a new thread in the Pro Forum. I won't get into an in depth "nuts and bolts" discussion in the open forum.

A couple of questions...model number, run hours, pump assisted purge?

I have a yt R 123 machine that is showing heavy foam in both glasses DURING the run cycle. No oil pressure fluctuations noted, but I seem to remember in the past that this machine had less volatile oil foaming, ie nice clear oil at least in the lower glass. The sump pressure is slightly higher than evap pressure, evap at 19.9 inch vac and sump at 18.5 inch vac. the vent sol is energized and both sides of the valve piping are hot. I am going to watch it at start up and verify sump pressure after solenoid is opened.

oil foaming

Hello yall
Wanted to update. Went back to jobsite, tried other chiller oil foams in it too, not quite as bad. I tried something manually that worked. We disconnected the vent solenoid and manually energized same, on for about 15 seconds then off for about 45 seconds. This brings the sump pressure down to suction pressure slowly and minimizes oil foam. Installed an interval timer to cycle valve through 4 cycles, a one shot timer to energize valve continuously and de energize the cycle timer until the next start. This worked fine, we are installing same on the other chiller. Thanks And Best Wishes To all!

i miss all the fun!

Klove , your open minded response was very h-talk worthy , I believe a/c wizard has A LOT to contribute here.

Perhaps a/c wizard was a little alarmed by the response style here since he is new and not used to the way things fly around here.

I'm sure his intentions were good.

My apologies for the part about the profile. I just looked at it, but the edit time had already expired on my previous post so I couldn't remove my "by the way" remark. I for one appreciate the fact that you thought enough of the rest of us to give a little info about yourself.

I don't know which guy you're speaking of, so I'll try and explain:

If its the first guy (arrow4), you need to go back and read all of the posts to get a feel for the questions that were asked, and a feel for the questions that were never answered. You may then have a new perspective on why I said what I said.

If it's the second guy (choya56), then I have no earthly idea what you're talking about - I did try and get him pointed in the right direction. If you don't like the fact that I'm not willing to tell someone that I don't know from Adam's housecat how to reprogram the pre-lube cycle on a centrifugal chiller over an open internet forum, then you do it. (By the way - I haven't looked in your profile yet, so if you don't have anything about yourself in there and that's what this is all about, you might want to put something in it.)

If its the third guy (mlkwal1), I was simply trying to assist Milky with a question he had asked me about posting quotes, which really had nothing to do with oil foaming in anything at all. I saw nothing condescending in my reply to him.

If you'd like to discuss why I did what I did, I'll be most happy to oblige, but you're going to have to tell me what it was I said that triggered your unprovoked outburst.

Now were back to the site that I know and love so much God I love this forum

uh oh...you are new!

you will find out soon enough that, although MOST of us are in this together, not ALL of us are in this together. this site is a free advice site from the sharpest minds in the industry (and now with you here, maybe even sharper!) however, most people do not post anywhere near enough information or they post that the 'XYZ part is good'. around here, the poster should not ever post statements like those. they can not figure it out so they are not allowed (should not be allowed) to make qualified statements because they just might be wrong (SAY IT AINT SO JAY!). after asking for a while, you get tired and we all have bad days BUT the techs here are still showing up here for work (so to speak).

i do not know if you have been lurking around here a while or just found this site today. i would recommend that you ignore posts that you do not like and post the questions and answers directly to the OP. you just might need someone like klove someday and you sure don't want to tick him off before that!

welcome to the site and LOVE TO THE KLOVE!
