Optimized Compressor
Screw compressors from YORK ® use advanced technology to deliver higher efficiences . Optimized variable volume ratio compressor design matches compression to the load to avoid over-compression and wasted energy . A special rotor design provides a tight seal and high compression efficiency . A compact design with simple assembly provides easier maintenance . Together , these technological enhancements increase efficiency while reducing noise and vibration .
Reduced Sound Pressure Levels ( 1m )
A unique , patented dampening structure in the YORK ® screw compressor is combined with an integrated oil separator to reduce noise . These technologies result in operating sound levels up to 17 dBA quiter than traditional chillers while maintaining peak efficiency .
