Serving a Global Market

YORK, over its 130+ year existence, has continued to grow and expand its global influence. YORK has judiciously selected the top companies in the world to bring under the YORK umbrella. Some familiar leaders in the HVAC/R market, including Sabroe, Stal, and Hi-Pres have all been integrated into the YORK family and are now contributing their expertise for the greater good of YORK Corporation.

The primary divisions of YORK Navy Systems are located in York PA USA, Basildon England, Hamburg Germany, Nantes France, Bergen Norway, Aarhus Denmark and Singapore though all YORK resources remain at our disposal. All sites have global design, manufacturing, installation, and through life support capabilities. This ensures that the YORK Navy-engineered HVAC/R equipment is built to, and supported by, the most stringent military requirements as well as international quality control and classification standards – all while maintaining flexibility to meet the customer’s needs. As a result, dependability is inherent in every refrigeration and air conditioning system we design, build, and maintain.

Research and Development

YORK has ongoing technology design and insertion projects with the US and NATO Navies among others. These projects include developing the absolute latest technology compressors, heat exchangers, and control systems to meet the demands of the modern Navies. Technologies such as magnetic bearings, condition-based maintenance, and variable speed drive not only provide more reliable technologies but when factored into the total ownership cost, provide a much more attractive through life offering. Likewise, these reliabilities allow for a lower requirement of human effort in the maintenance of the system and therefore improve the shipboard quality of life.

YORK is also the worldwide leader in non-CFC technology. We offer a comprehensive package of refrigerant-management services and products, including:

  • Refrigerant conservation strategies
  • Conversion of existing CFC equipment to non-CFC alternative green refrigerants
  • Engineered chiller retrofits to achieve both CFC-free status and better operating performance
  • Non-CFC air conditioning and refrigeration systems for ship refurbishment and renovation

YORK offers the industry's widest range of equipment using all the major, viable alternative green refrigerants for both new and retrofit applications. At YORK, we provide the best available refrigeration technology for every application.

Dependability

For over 90 years, YORK has satisfied the uncompromising demands of the world’s navies for quality control and dependability throughout our broad range of engineered components and systems. Our naval equipment is designed and tested to meet the stringent requirements for survivability, efficiency, and low noise signature demanded by modern warship technology. Furthermore, integrated logistic support (ILS) principles are applied to YORK Navy products such that equipment reliability, supportability, and maintainability are assured.

System Integration

Systems can be fully integrated into sophisticated digital control systems to achieve maximum efficiencies of operation and manning. Furthermore, YORK can provide full HVAC and refrigeration system design and supply even on a turnkey basis. Our state-of-the-art microprocessor control panel provides easy access to all chiller controls and monitoring – even from a remote station. The panel displays messages in many languages with numeric data available in either English or metric units.

The Future

As YORK enters the 21st century, we have committed ourselves to leveraging our global resources to continue to provide HVAC/R systems to the navies of countries throughout the world. YORK Navy Systems is continually expanding our role to provide full HVAC/R systems for navy ships in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
