Tailored Solution for a Variety of Applications

The YVAA air-cooled, variable-speed drive screw chiller from YORK® is designed to improve reliability and performance through proven technology and a customizable, highly optimized design. Installed across the globe, the YVAA offers a tailored solution for a broad range of applications. Patented, variable volume index (VI) technology improves part-load efficiency while a standard operating range of up to 131°F makes the YVAA a great choice in a variety of applications. With optional Quick Start technology, the YVAA air-cooled screw chiller is the more reliable, lower maintenance solution for high-efficiency cooling.

YVAA chillers at Budapest One

Budapest One is a groundbreaking office complex consisting of 66,500 square feet of office park with a unique facade and structural design located at Őrmező, Budapest’s “western gate”. The area contains Hungary’s largest multimodal transport intersection. In collaboration with developer Futureal, we delivered an innovative and efficient HVAC solution to ensure the building is comfortably cooled. With the installation of 10 best-in-class YVAA chillers and the central OpenBlue management system, we continue to optimize energy consumption while reducing costs.

Variable-speed Drive

VSDs help reduce energy consumption – particularly at off-design conditions – and can help lower annual energy costs as much as 50%. Our patented, liquid-cooled VSDs also require less maintenance, with glycol replacement required only every five years. And the variable-speed design dramatically reduces sound levels at off-design conditions – up to 16 dBA. Designed and manufactured by Johnson Controls, a 100% liquid-cooled VSD is standard on the YVAA.
