YORK Water Source

VRF Systems

Maximum efficiency,
comfort and flexibility
for your customers.
DESIGN WITH FREEDOM
YORK® WATER SOURCE VRF SYSTEMS
Custom solutions for commercial customers
Bring the benefits of VRF technology to more projects with
YORK Water Source VRF systems. These compact, flexible
systems enable you to solve more challenges and bring greater
comfort to customers with advanced VRF technology.
YORK Water Source VRF systems are ideal for projects where
space is at a premium, for coastal and extreme-weather regions
where the elements can be damaging to HVAC equipment and
for projects where outdoor equipment placement is problematic.
Exceptionally energy efficient, these systems offer remarkable
design flexibility with compact modules and a generous standard
connection ratio range (50-130%).

IDEAL FOR CHALLENGING PROJECTS

YORK® Water Source VRF systems enable you to

effectively address the following application challenges:

High-rise buildings
Compact units can be installed in closets or stacked
with racking, saving valuable and expensive space.

Coastal areas and cold-weather climates

Indoor placement protects units from salt air and
harsh winter conditions for longer service and a
better return on investment.

Architecturally restricted properties

Because complete systems are installed within
the building, you don’t have to worry about issues
such as roof lines and weight limitations.

Where local codes limit refrigerant use

Water source VRF systems use minimal refrigerant,
making adherence to strict codes easier.

Buildings with cooling towers/boilers

Water source VRF systems can use assets in place,
making them an economical, practical choice.

Where energy efficiency is paramount

A boiler in the water circuit can be powered by natural
gas or electricity for maximum efficiency.

Where space or weight are an issue

Unlike some competitors, 14, 16 and 18 ton capacity
is achieved with a single unit, requiring less space,
reducing weight and lowering cost.

KEY BENEFITS
• All systems boast impressive efficiency ratings • Small, light, modular units require minimal space
Non-Ducted Systems — Increasing design flexibility
IEER 20.3 to 29 — Simplifying transportation and installation
COP: 4.3 to 6.3 — Enabling modules to be stacked with racking
Ducted Systems — Allowing more space to be rented
IEER 19.5 to 23.8
COP: 4.05 to 5.0 • All VRF components are protected from the elements
—M
 aking systems an ideal choice for harsh climates
• The connection ratio range of 50 – 130% and coastal regions
enables cost-effective designs —E
 liminating worries about weight, exterior
appearance or external noise
— Providing design flexibility
— Minimizing initial costs • Code Compliance
— Saving energy
– Less refrigerant is required for Water Source VRF
for easier compliance with ASHRAE Standard 15

THE YORK® WATER SOURCE VRF SYSTEM ADVANTAGE

Systems are designed

with dual heat recovery —
heat can be recovered
in both the water and
refrigerant circuits

Dual fuels
can be used –
electricity for VRF units
and natural gas or
electricity for boiler

Defrost mode
is not required –
increasing
energy savings
and comfort
