Exceptional performance
Efficient design
To maximize the performance of each unit, our solutions use a parallel design for compressors. When a compressor is operational, the heat exchange area of the air-side heat exchanger and the water-side heat exchanger can be fully utilized. This improves the performance of each unit, especially for part-load performance.
The diagram below shows the design of a unit with two refrigerant systems and an independent air duct. The two refrigerant operations in a single module can easily operate independently, lowering the fan’s power consumption at part-load to improve energy efficiency.
Our innovative designs allow for multi-level energy regulation. An individual unit is able to realize up to four levels of energy regulation: 0-25, 25-50, 50-75, and 75-100 percent. You can connect up to 32 units, offering a wider range of energy regulation – up to 128 levels. Connecting units this way is close to step-less regulation, yielding higher efficiencies and saving energy.
Live and work in comfort and quiet
The YCAE-X Series can operate with noise levels as low as 65 A-weighted decibels (dBA) to provide you with quiet living and working environments.
Enjoy quieter fans
The two-fan design of single modules effectively shares the air volume of individual fans to lower their operating noise.
Choose from multiple noise-reduction options
We offer many options that contribute to noise reduction, including unit baffles and acoustic cotton.
Reduce start-stop noise with next-generation computing
Our in-built microcomputer monitors the operation of your unit in real-time. It optimizes the logic of your unit to effectively reduce start-stop noise.
Reliable performance – long-lasting units
YORK® ensures each component is monitored in real-time by balancing the operating time of compressors. Each compressor is adjusted for balance, extending the overall life of your unit.
Intelligent defrost
Our solutions select a defrost time that is based on the change in unit pressure and temperature. The option to manually defrost a unit is also available.
Each unit can simultaneously defrost and heat without shutting down. When multiple modules are operating, a single unit in defrosting mode does not impact the heating capabilities of other modules.
Intelligent anti-freezing
To automatically achieve anti-freeze conditions during the warmer months of the year, the return water temperature in each unit is monitored in real time.
Units are equipped with three automatic anti-freeze measures to effectively prevent freezing in winter.
Reliable configuration for maximum efficiency
High-efficiency R410A hermetic compressor
Motor life is extended because vital components are cooled effectively. The low-pressure chamber structure is designed so the crankcase is located in an area with lower temperatures, while the motor is cooled by the refrigerant in the low-temperature return gas to enhance system performance.
The air-side heat exchanger
The U-shaped heat exchanger is unique and provides multi-sided heat transfer and an optimized wind field. The standard hydrophilic aluminum foil fins supply strong anti-oxidation and resistance to corrosion.
Customized fan assembly
Our fans are equipped with large-diameter round-angle axial fan blades, an integrated bell mouth and wind scoop design, and an IP55 double-speed motor for rigorous protection when units are installed outdoors.
Efficient stainless steel heat exchanger
The stainless-steel structure provides you with stable, reliable units. The asymmetric flow field design lowers the pressure drop on the water side, improving anti-freeze performance.
Electronic expansion valve
The operational pressure and temperature of units are optimized by ensuring the refrigerant flow is accurate. To achieve this, the 480-step, high-precision electronic expansion valves make intelligent adjustments to the flow of the refrigerant.
Filter and water flow switch
To prevent units clogging, copper filters are fitted as standard to stop dirt from entering the system. We also provide water flow switches on all units to avoid cracks due to poor water flow.
