Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the JADEC Tour, we step inside the hemi-anechoic sound chamber to test the quietest centrifugal chiller in the industry — mostly because it doesn’t have a compressor installed (yet). Rob Tanner explains how YORK measures sound, why decibels matter in chiller design, and how engineers tweak components to make these massive machines run quieter than ever.
