York International designed its new range of ChillPAC ammonia chillers with a focus on compact size, light weight and a minimal refrigerant charge.
Other design parameters included efficiency, energy costs and environmental impact – with an additional spotlight on safety and reliability. Capacities range from 229 kW to 1439 kW of cooling.
The York ChillPAC is based around a new design of flooded evaporator, using an ammonia charge some 60 percent less in volume than an equivalent standard design. This keeps potential environmental impact to a minimum. Even compared with ammonia chillers on the market that use plate heat exchanger technology, the ChillPAC range uses an exceptionally low refrigerant charge. This results in safer installations and lower life cycle costs.
York has installed more than 1,000 packaged ammonia chillers during the last 15 years, acquiring a wealth of experience both on site and within its own research and development department. To remain at the forefront in this market segment, York has concentrated on providing a chiller system not only with the lowest possible refrigerant charge, but also using a refrigerant that is future-compatible.
