JADEC: The Tour – Part 7 | Inside YORK’s R8 Compressor & 3,000-Ton Chiller Innovation

In this episode of the JADEC Tour, we take a close look at one of YORK’s most important recent innovations — the R8 compressor, designed to recover lost capacity when moving from R-134a to low-GWP refrigerant R-1234ze. Built for the YK product line, this compressor helps deliver up to 3,000 tons of cooling with added efficiency. Rob Tanner and Tony Mormino break down: How the R8 compressor works in an open-drive centrifugal chiller. The role of the economizer cycle and why YORK uses a second compressor for efficiency. How small design tweaks add up to nearly 3% more efficiency at scale. What production changes mean for customers and manufacturing efficiency. This isn’t just theory — much of the data that powered YORK’s recent YKCP product release came directly from this test setup at JADEC. 🎥 Watch the full JADEC playlist here:    • JADEC: The Tour – YORK Engineering the Fut...
