Savings With Sustainability.

YORK® CYK Water-to-Water Heat Pump

10,000 – 38,000 MBH (2,930 – 11,136 kW) heating
600 – 2,000 ton (2,110 – 7,033 kW) cooling
Jump-start your path to decarbonization
with the YORK® CYK heat pump: the
solution for improved sustainability and
greater, long-term cost savings.
When designing new facilities or upgrading your HVAC central
plant, consider the YORK® CYK heat pump. The YORK® CYK
is a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional
chiller and boiler systems and is ideal for large commercial
buildings, university campuses, hospitals, industrial processes
and district energy applications. While there are many ways
to decarbonize and electrify, there are far fewer ways that
make sense economically. This is where the CYK delivers.

Superior Performance
The YORK® CYK has two electric motor-driven centrifugal YORK® CYK Heat Pump Advantages
compressors arranged in series for superior high-head
performance and can provide simultaneous hot water and chilled
• 3–5x more efficient than conventional systems
water from the same equipment — unlike the traditional use of
a separate chiller and boiler. Multiple compressors also provide • Fast payback thanks to significant reductions
lower sound levels during operation. And built-in capacity control in annual energy and water costs
for each compressor enables better performance at off-design • Significant reductions in CO2 emissions
conditions. The CYK is also available with a low-GWP refrigerant.

Operating Modes and Applications

• Heating only (heat pump) Increased Efficiency
• Simultaneous heating and cooling
While flexibility is important, the YORK® CYK heat pump
• Cooling only (including ice thermal storage goes further in operating efficiency, with a heating-only
and low-temp brine-chilling) COP of ~3, which is approximately three times (3x) more
efficient than a typical boiler. And where simultaneous
Refrigerants heating and cooling requirements exist, the CYK can be
four times (4x) to five times (5x) more efficient than a
R-134a, R-513A and R-1234ze
stand-alone chiller and stand-alone boiler combination.

Exceptional Flexibility
Heat pumps and chillers are fundamentally the same. The
primary difference is that a heat pump can provide hot water
for heating functions. But unlike most heat pumps, the YORK®
CYK can deliver high-temperature hot water — as high as
170° F (77° C). This means it can be applied in existing
heating systems that were originally designed to use steam
and high-temperature water. With a CYK in your system,
there is no need to replace air handlers and terminal heating
devices to accommodate the lower water temperatures that
are delivered by other heat pump products. The CYK can even
be customized for specific applications, such as the delivery
of hot water temperatures as high as 194° F (90° C).
By reducing use of fossil fuel-fired boilers, the CYK makes
a direct, positive impact to sustainability goals through
the reduction of energy and water use with fewer CO2 emissions.
Long-Term Savings
The YORK® CYK heat pump provides a significant return-on-
investment through long-term cost savings vs. traditional
systems. By calculating energy and water consumption,
the CYK can provide up to 50% net annual operational and
water savings. With fewer CO2 emissions, lowered operating
costs and low-GWP refrigerant, the YORK® CYK heat pump
is the ideal retrofit solution for many applications where
decarbonization and cost-effective performance are essential.
