Overcoming Limitations
A facility's challenges are unique, whether a school, hospital, high-rise building or data center, and each day is different. Hot or cold, humid or dry – a facility must handle the challenges of climate and seasonal or even hourly variations. That's why YORK® created a centrifugal chiller that handles a project's unique variables – the YORK® YK Centrifugal Chiller. The YK chiller delivers real-world performance thanks to an exclusive combination of features.
