recovery to preheat
domestic hot-water
needs for laundry, showers,
cooking, and dishwashing.
Numerous applications
Practically any chiller plant that has simultaneous heating and
cooling needs, can utilize a heat-recovery chiller. Common
applications include hospitals and medical centers, hotels and
resorts, manufacturing facilities, and educational facilities.
Assured equipment selection
The expertise of Johnson Controls in understanding your
building environment, combined with YORK chiller-applications
experience, provides the best assurance of a proper heatrecovery chiller selection. To produce the greatest energy
savings, we analyze the chilled-water plant to take full advantage
of your load profiles. The result is a solution that fits your
budget while reducing your facility's energy-use profile.
Energy use and cost savings
A YORK heat-recovery chiller uses less total energy than
separate cooling and heating equipment by taking advantage
of free condenser heat that would otherwise be lost through
the cooling towers. In effect, a heat-recovery chiller lets
you do double-dutycooling and heating with the
same piece of equipment. This is more economically and
environmentally friendly than burning fossil fuels or using
electric-resistance heaters.
Environmentally friendly refrigerant
YORK heat-recovery chillers utilize HFC-134a refrigerant,
which has zero ozone-depletion potential and no phase-out
