YZ Centrifugal Chiller Product Summary
The YORK® YZ chiller from the chiller experts is the industry's first chiller fully optimized
for ultimate performance with a next generation low-GWP refrigerant, offering
exceptional efficiency and operation.
Cooling Capacity: 165-1000 Tons (581-3516 kW)
From the Chiller Experts
The YORK® YZ chiller is a revolutionary advancement that challenges everything about conventional chiller
design. Built upon decades of industry-leading chiller expertise, our engineers questioned every component,
analyzed every function and challenged every assumption.
Optimized for Ultimate Performance
The design premise for the YORK® YZ was simple: don’t just make a new chiller – make the best chiller. This was
accomplished through a holistic approach to system design and engineering, optimizing every component around
a carefully selected next generation refrigerant for ultimate performance.
Dramatically Lower Cost of Ownership
To maximize value, the YORK® YZ design has been optimized to minimize operating costs by leveraging the
benefits of a new refrigerant in our new heat exchangers and motor/compressor driveline while also mitigating the
high cost of a next generation refrigerant.
The New Definition of Sustainability
True sustainability means the lowest total emissions – from beginning to end. Adapting a chiller design to a new
refrigerant is not enough. That’s why the YORK® YZ was specifically designed to maximize the potential energy
efficiency of a low-GWP refrigerant. Our design optimization for the highest possible efficiency, combined with a
low-GWP refrigerant, makes the YORK® YZ Centrifugal Chiller the best choice for the environment.
