Benefits

The YORK® YZ provides better efficiency at every operating condition, making it the quickest way to save money in your building’s budget.

YORK® YZ delivers lower maintenance costs with magnetic bearing technology that uses fewer moving parts and eliminates lubrication needs.

Smart Connected Chiller technology uses remote monitoring and predictive analytics to proactively diagnose issues and reduce downtime.

Optimized design for the highest efficiency and a low-GWP refrigerant make the YORK® YZ Centrifugal Chiller the best choice for the environment.
Features
- With variable-speed drive, a variable-geometry diffuser and magnetic-bearing technology YORK® YZ delivers up to 35% annual energy savings versus traditional, fixed-speed, oil-bearing chillers
- Robust and reliable high-speed, hermetic induction motor reduces maintenance
- This low-pressure chiller has been fully optimized around R-1233zd(E), which has a GWP of 1 and an A1 ASHRAE safety classification
- Data can be securely connected to analytics platform for remote monitoring and predictive diagnostics
- Patented capacity control technology provides rapid response to the load on the building, ensuring the YZ does not waste energy or work harder than needed
- Magnetic-bearing driveline offers outstanding reliability and 80% fewer moving parts than traditional oil- or refrigerant-lubricated drivelines
