Quick Start
After power is interrupted, it can take a standard chiller up to 10 minutes to restart. But with the Quick Start feature, YVAA chillers can restart within seconds after power is restored. YVAA chillers feature an industry-leading compressor restart (upon power being restored) of 34 seconds.
Because YVAA 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.
Hybrid Mode Technology
Write one or two paragraphs describing your product, services or a specific feature. To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.
Traditional free-cooling chillers use fixed-speed compressors that simply shut off when ambient temperatures are low enough. But this only saves energy when the compressors are completely shut off. Johnson Controls has pioneered a unique Hybrid Mode technology that optimizes energy use year-round. Using free-cooling coils to reduce the mechanical cooling load at a much higher temperature, the VSD compressors reduce speed and energy use more of the year for long-term performance and efficiency.
Free-cooling Technology
YVFA free-cooling, air-cooled chillers deliver the industry’s highest leaving water temperature to provide more tonnage in the same footprint as competing systems. And intelligently controlled free-cooling bypass valves reduce pump energy when free-cooling is not beneficial. These technologies enable the chiller to move from mechanical to hybrid to free-cooling modes automatically, further minimizing energy use.
