With artificial intelligence clusters driving rack densities beyond 100 kilowatts, Johnson Controls has released its largest magnetic-bearing centrifugal chiller to date, targeting continuous operation with elevated chilled water supply temperatures.
York YZ centrifugal chiller line expanded to 3,500 tons capacity for 100kW+ per-rack AI data centers.
Uses ultra-low GWP R-1233zd(E) refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and zero lubrication oil friction.
