Mechanical Cooling Mode
When it ’ s too warm to use ambient air for cooling , the YVFA performs as a standard chiller . The automatic flow-control valve in the open-loop configuration bypasses the free-cooling coils to reduce pump energy . When either cooling load or ambient temperature are less than full design condition , the variable-speed screw compressors and condenser fans modulate to optimize energy use . In a closed-loop configuration , the free-cooling coils are also bypassed .

Free Cooling Mode
At lower ambient temperatures , full cooling load can be most efficiently delivered by the free-cooling coils . Compressors are shut off and the VSD fans are modulated to meet the cooling setpoint .
