The best just got bigger
Larger facilities can now take advantage of the industry’s highest energy efficiency ratio with our new 500-ton air-cooled, variable-speed screw chiller
Nearly a decade after introducing the industry's first air-cooled, variable-speed, screw chiller, we're proud to unveil our highest-capacity model yet -- the 500-ton YORK® YVAA.
With this new introduction, the YVAA is now available in a complete capacity range from 150 to 500 tons. It features the industry's highest energy efficiency ratio (EER) for efficient operation at both full-load design and off-design conditions. The YVAA offers:
- Lower energy costs: On replacement projects, YVAA energy performance can exceed that of older chillers by as much as 50 percent, while performance on new projects can exceed competitors’ chillers by up to 25 percent. The YVAA chiller offers flexible energy consumption: it can be configured to offer design efficiency up to 11.6 EER, and an integrated part load value (IPLV) up to 19.8 EER.
- Increased sustainability: The YVAA chiller uses HFC-134a refrigerant, which has no phase-out date and an ozone-depletion potential of zero. Fewer joints and potential leak points keep the refrigerant inside the system, while a proprietary falling-film evaporator and advanced microchannel condenser coils reduce the refrigerant charge by as much as 15 percent. These sustainability advantages give building owners the opportunity to earn points in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) green-building certification programs.
- Lower volume: The YVAA chiller provides superior sound performance. In addition to a variety of sound-attenuation options, the YVAA offers its SilentNight™ feature which works with a building automation system (or programmable control) to load-limit the chiller when noise reduction is a priority. When optimized for sound performance, the YVAA chiller can reduce ambient noise by as much as 16 dBA at off-design conditions.
