Yazaki Hot Water-Fired Chillers are ideal for any commercial or industrial cooling application, but show major benefits for organizations and companies where there are one or more of the following concerns:

Zero Carbon Cooling
Despite their excellent local operating efficiencies, all electric chillers contribute to global warming on two fronts, directly through the gradual leakage of greenhouse gas refrigerants (HFCs) from the plant and indirectly through the CO2 emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuels burned to generate the electricity required to operate the device.

If you are looking for low or even ZERO carbon cooling for commercial or industrial use, the Yazaki range of hot water-fired chillers could be the answer.

Any renewable, low carbon or zero carbon hot water heating system that is used to heat in winter can now be used to cool in summer and the key with the Yazaki WFC range is that they can provide cooling with heat input temperatures AS LOW AS 70°C.

For example:
Waste heat from a CHP system………more information
Hot water from a biomass boiler ………more information
Hot water from a solar thermal system ………more information
Process / industrial waste water………more information

Typically a conventional 100kW electric chiller will generate 17.4 Tonnes of CO2 for every 1,000 hours it opeates and will cost around £4,000 for each of those 1,000 hours. A Yazaki Hot Water-Fired chiller integrated with a Solar Thermal Heating System will produce NO carbon emissions and will cost NOTHING to run !

Estimates attribute 13% of ALL of the world’s Global Warming to released or leaked refrigerants in the atmosphere. This issue is completely eliminated by using a Yazaki Gas-Fired Chiller as the natural water/lithium bromide “pair” has no environmental impact whatsoever. In addition, the factory sealed refrigerant system of the Yazaki unit means that the opportunities for refrigerant leakage are much less than those of a conventional electric HFC based system.

Maximise the use of Renewable Heating Systems
If you are planning to use a renewable heating system that incorporates either CHP, Solar Thermal Heating or even a Biomass boiler – why switch them off in summer to use environmentally harmful electric cooling? A Yazaki Hot Water Fired-Chiller will ensure that any of these systems can be operated over the summer to produce cooling with very little or no environmental impact and with very little or no running costs.
