REFRIGERANT CONTAINMENT
The standard unit has been designed as a complete factory-packaged chiller, which minimizes the joints from which
refrigerant can leak. The entire assembly is thoroughly leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. The YZ chiller includes
service valves conveniently located to facilitate transfer of refrigerant to a remote refrigerant storage/recycling system.
Optional factory-installed isolation valves in the compressor discharge line and refrigerant liquid line allow isolation and
storage of the refrigerant charge in the chiller condenser.
FACTORY TESTING
Johnson Controls has the ability to factory performance test every type of chiller that we engineer and manufacture.
Testing options, including performance, vibration, and sound, can be performed as factory or remote customer witness
tests.
SMART EQUIPMENT
Smart Equipment by Johnson Controls allows the connection of data streams from equipment to the cloud, providing
unprecedented insights into operations. Smart Equipment helps maximize system control for greater efficiency, extended
equipment life and reduced operating costs. The YORK® YZ chiller has controls embedded at the factory to allow the
chiller to connect seamlessly to a controls system. On-board controls that support cloud-based data analytics, including
fault detection, enables proactive maintenance and minimizes downtime.
YORK® SMART CONNECTED CHILLERS
YORK® Smart Connected Chiller functionality feeds YZ chiller data to a secure, cloud-based dashboard, enabling
analysis of historical data to diagnose the chiller, observe long-term trends, and investigate potential issues. The
dashboard collects status-related data warnings, cycling, and safety fault codes. Advanced algorithms detect problems
such as condenser or evaporator tube fouling or low refrigerant charge. A more strategic approach to maintenance can
be implemented to stay a step ahead of emergencies to save time and money.
