The extended capacity product uses an integral, variable-speed drive and advanced magnetic bearing technology that features a single moving assembly suspended in a magnetic field that does not require lubrication.

Grounded in Daikin’s oil-free, magnetic-bearing compressor technology, this chiller features a redesign of the single compressor WME models from 400 to nearly 800 ton.

Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, announced it is expanding its CenTraVac™ centrifugal chiller portfolio for large buildings and industrial applications in the United States and Canada.

The magnetic-bearing centrifugal chiller line, the York YMC2, has been expanded to 1,000 tons of cooling (3,500 kW). 

York YD model “C” dual compressor centrifugal chillers from Johnson Controls are now available with Optispeed variable-speed drives (VSD) and an expanded capacity range of 1,500–6,000 ton (5,300–21,000 kW).
