Dedicated Design for Low Ambient Heating Solutions

Specifically designed as a low ambient heating solution, the new YCPB heat pump provides maximum heating with a wider operating range, thanks to the advanced large scroll compressors with Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology.

YCPB has a dual refrigerant circuit design. Each equipped with industry-leading high efficiency enhanced vapor injection system, super-efficient quiet fans, YORK® expertise heat exchanger and JCI smart control platform. These core technologies deliver next level efficiency and heating capability to set the new benchmark for the industry.

Maximum Heating Power When Temperatures Drop

In cold climates the YCPB has an improved heating capacity down to -25°C. In addition, the unit can produce hot water up to 60°C at full load and up to 62°C when operating at part load, allowing it to cover more applications across an extended ambient range.

Its high-level heating SCOP leads the market without compromising the operation and efficiency of the cooling mode. This high performance is achieved through innovation, optimising and combining only the best components, which translates into significant energy savings throughout the useful life of the heat pump.

The YCPB can be supplied as a 2-pipe system for typical reversible cooling and heating and as a 4-pipe version for simultaneous heating and cooling to meet full-year demand.
