Johnson Controls, the United States, has announced two platforms of high efficiency chillers available with low global warming potential (GWP) options. It has extended its portfolio of YORK® chillers to include two product families that use the refrigerant alternative R-513A: YORK YVWA water-cooled screw chiller and YORK YMC2 magnetic bearing water-cooled centrifugal chiller. The offering covers a broad range from 433 to 3,516 kW (120 to 1,000 tons) for water-cooled applications.
The company showcased these models at the Chillventa trade show 2016, Germany. The work to develop and launch broad offerings using R-513A and to advance research on the use of mildly flammable refrigerants is part of the company’s overall environmental commitments to the White House Council on Environmental Quality. R-513A is a nonflammable (A1) azeotropic, high efficiency, low-GWP alternative refrigerant that reduces the direct refrigerant GWP by 56%.
