Johnson Controls is pleased to offer the YORK YZ Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller to its Middle East customers. The YORK YZ delivers up to 35 percent annual energy savings, reduced maintenance costs and is optimized for ultimate performance with a low-GWP refrigerant. Cooling capacity for the Middle East units ranges from 165 to 1350 tons (580 to 4747 kW).
“With the launch of the YORK YZ chiller, we are proud to be delivering another industry-leading chiller to meet the demands of our customers in the Middle East,” said Claude Allain, VP and GM, Building, Technologies and Solutions, Middle East & Africa. “The extreme, dry climate of the region presents a variety of cooling challenges. Coupled with the success of magnetic bearings in the region, the operating range map of chillers for the Middle East makes the YORK YZ an ideal choice for a variety of application needs in the Middle East.”
YORK YZ Chiller
Since its initial launch in 2018 the YORK YZ has made a significant global impact, capturing top honors in North America, China, Europe, and Australia. The YZ chiller was named 2019 AHR Innovation Award winner in the Cooling category. The success of the chiller has already been seen in the Middle East, as the first YORK YZ project has been sold in the region. Globally, this is the second largest YZ project sold to date and will be installed later this year.
The YORK YZ uses an optimized single stage design to provide industry-leading real-world energy efficiency
The YORK YZ is the first chiller fully optimized for ultimate performance with a next generation low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, R-1233zd(E). Chosen for its efficiency, safety, availability, low environmental impact and cost, non-flammable R-1233zd(E) has an ultra-low GWP of 1, and is readily available from refrigerant manufacturers.
Significant energy savings
The YZ chiller can deliver significant energy savings and lower operating costs by taking advantage of the off-design conditions where chillers operate 99 percent of the time. The YZ chiller operates with entering condenser water temperature as low as 40°F (4.5°C), providing enhanced performance in every operating condition and the widest operating envelope in the industry. The YORK YZ uses an optimized single stage design to provide industry-leading real-world energy efficiency.
The YZ chiller brings together ground-breaking YORK innovations refined over decades of real-world use to create a revolution in chiller design and optimization. It represents a solution from the chiller experts, who like to think of the YORK YZ chiller as tomorrow’s chiller, available today.
