YK Centrifugal Chillers

Real-World Performance

Every facility faces unique challenges. Whether an institutional building, manufacturing facility or a district energy central plant, and whether the ambient conditions are hot or cold, humid or dry, a facility must handle continually shifting challenges of climate and internal load variations. That's why YORK® created a centrifugal chiller designed to handle every project's unique situation. Built on the globally proven YORK® YK chiller platform, the re-engineered YK chiller is designed to deliver superior real-world performance in a variety of applications thanks to an exclusive combination of features.

Benefits

ULTRA LOW GWP OPTIMIZED

The re-engineered YORK® YK chiller has been designed specifically for use with R-1234ze as the primary* refrigerant, without any increase in footprint.

LOWEST TOTAL COST  OF OWNERSHIP

Designed to be cost-effective across your entire bottom line, the re-engineered YORK® YK chiller delivers lower installation, operating and maintenance costs over the life of the chiller.

GREATER APPLICATION SUPPORT

The YK platform is versatile by design, enabling customers to leverage a wide array of components that help balance project needs with cost savings.

INTUITIVE CONTROL

Featuring a state-of-the-art, OptiView Control Panel, it's easier than ever to manage chiller operations with improved efficiency, reduced maintenance and greater security.

Features

Designed with sustainability in mind, the re-engineered YK chiller has been optimized specially for use with ultra-low GWP refrigerant R-1234ze
State-of-the-art OptiView™ Control Panel optimizes chiller performance by precisely controlling the leaving chilled liquid temperature and motor current
Quick Start feature restarts the chiller in as few as 45 seconds and reaches the specified chilled-water temperature faster than other centrifugal chillers
Optional OptiSound™ Control works alongside standard VSD technology to minimize gas-flow disruptions that cause noise

ISASecure® certified YORK® Chiller Access Manager provides secure access to chiller controls to help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and security breaches
Extraordinary flexibility allows the YK chiller to be ordered with a variety of options, including heat exchangers, gears and open-drive motors minimizing the need to order a larger size chiller package than might actually be necessary
Compared to chillers that can only use a minimum 75°F (24°C) ECWT, a YK chiller can operate with ECWT as low as 55°F (13°C), reducing instantaneous energy consumption by as much as 50%
Open-drive design and infinite life bearings help ensure maintenance needs on the YK chiller are minimized
