Description

In Part 7 of the JADEC Tour, Rob Tanner and Tony Mormino dig into one of YORK’s latest innovations — the R8 compressor. Built to offset capacity losses from the transition to low-GWP refrigerants, this open-drive centrifugal design helps deliver up to 3,000 tons of cooling with an added efficiency boost from a unique economizer cycle. You’ll hear how this innovation came to life in JADEC’s labs, what it means for YORK’s YK product line, and why even a few percentage points of efficiency can change the game in large-tonnage chillers.
