Features
- Packaged controls for single-point convenience to easily accommodate process or building changes
- ISASecure® certified YORK® Chiller Access Manager with enhanced security features provides peace of mind that chiller data and operations are secure
- Variable-frequency inverter technology enables a zero-inrush soft start and a high-displacement power factor across the entire operating range
- Performance is assured by AHRI certification, the first for an air-cooled screw chiller with free-cooling
- Open-loop and closed-loop design solutions for different building systems
- Advanced touchscreen display provides faster, easier navigation compared to legacy 2-line displays
- Intelligent controls also optimize the balance between using fans to move air over the free-cooling coils
- Quick Start option achieves full load after a power loss in four minutes or less
- Integrated air-to-liquid, free-cooling coils, designed by our heat transfer experts, reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical cooling when conditions allow
Quick Start
Because YVFA chillers contain a variable-speed drive, there is no inrush of current. As a result, all compressors can be started together. This allows a faster ramp-up to full capacity than possible with a typical chiller.
