YORK AMICHI Air-Cooled DC Inverter Scroll Chiller & Heat Pump Efficiency-optimized Heating and Cooling for Best-in-class Performance
York AMICHI
Exceeding Efficiency Standards
The YORK® Amichi™ Series Air-cooled DC Inverter Scroll Chiller and Heat Pump have been designed to meet tomorrow’s efficiency standards today. Delivering performance beyond typical chiller and heat pump efficiency levels, the YORK® Amichi™ Series meets or exceeds stringent regulatory requirements (see chart, below) through an optimized combination of YORK® efficiencyenhancing technologies.
- Direct current (DC) inverter technology provides variable capacity control and allows Amichi™ Series chiller compressors to operate more efficiently across all cooling-load and ambient temperature conditions versus constant-speed chillers that use a step unloading design.
- Electronically commutated (EC) fans use more efficient motors and better aerodynamics to improve overall system efficiency and sound performance, particularly at part-load. At reduced ambient temperatures, the head pressure control varies fan speeds to optimize the system efficiency and ensure reliable operation. This combination of variable speed compressor and fans provides a displacement power factor as high as 0.93, lowering electricity costs.
- High efficiency brazed plate heat exchanger uses less refrigerant and transfers heat from the liquid to refrigerant more efficiently, providing excellent heat transfer performance in a compact size. This also results in a lower water side pressure drop, allowing the use of smaller pumps and further minimizing building power consumption.
- Tandem compressor design uses several circuits, which improves off-design and part-load efficiency by using the entire surface area of the heat exchanger at all conditions while also providing partial redundancy
Performance Without Compromise
The YORK® Amichi™ Series is a no-compromise solution for a variety of climates and locations. Built specifically to deliver better performance through a wider operating envelope, the Amichi™ chiller and heat pump can maintain efficiency in a variety of conditions without kits or add-ons – down to an impressive -18°C ambient in cooling mode and -15°C ambient in heating mode.
With the smallest footprint across the widest capacity range on the market, the YORK® Amichi™ Series is also the perfect solution for high performance in smaller spaces. Installation is simplified with a compact size that permits forklift loading, and a modular configuration allows units to be arranged in varying footprints to fit different space requirements. This unique modularity means capacity can be increased incrementally as buildings are being constructed or spaces are becoming occupied. And if maintenance is required, other modules in the system will continue to operate, helping to reduce downtime and loss of capacity.
We want to ensure our neighbors are comfortable too, even in retrofits. That’s why our systems offer two levels of sound performance. If requirements call for sound attenuation beyond our standard low-noise levels, an optional Ultra Quiet Kit can further reduce sound power by an impressive 6 dBA, providing
one of the quietest units available.
The YORK® Amichi™ Series is a no-compromise solution that delivers industry-leading efficiency, unmatched flexibility, world-class sound performance, extensive control capability and long-lasting reliability. These highly optimized designs use advanced components and innovative thinking to provide the best-in-class performance only the world-leader in chiller solutions could deliver.
