Quick Start

YVAA chillers quickly restart in only 34 seconds after a power outage, thanks to their Quick Start feature and variable-speed drive. This allows all compressors to start simultaneously, ensuring a swift return to full capacity compared to standard chillers taking up to 10 minutes.

Variable-speed Drive

VSDs significantly cut energy usage, especially in off-design situations, potentially reducing annual energy expenses by up to 50%. Our exclusive liquid-cooled VSDs are low-maintenance, needing glycol replacement just once every five years. Additionally, the variable-speed design notably decreases noise levels during off-design scenarios, by as much as 16 dBA. The YVAA, crafted by Johnson Controls, comes standard with a 100% liquid-cooled VSD.

Proven Compressor Technology

The YVAA features patented variable volume index (VI) technology integrated into a reliable design. This VI design optimizes the compressor's compression ratio to match evaporator and condenser conditions, leading to energy savings. Every compressor undergoes thorough end-of-line testing to ensure reliability.
