Emerson fractional hp scrolls

USA: Emerson has launched fractional horsepower low-temperature Copeland Scroll compressors with liquid-injection for use with a number of lower GWP refrigerants.

The new Copeland Scroll ZF*KA compressor line addresses tougher energy standards in highly reliable, smaller-capacity systems.

“In addition to achieving compliance with DOE and EPA requirements in low temperatures, the new ZF*KA fractional horsepower compressors are rated for use with new refrigerant alternatives R448A/449A and existing lower-GWP HFCs such as R407A,” said Emerson director of marketing, foodservice, Allen Wicher.

“Copeland Scroll is also simpler for the OEM to incorporate into new designs without additional engineering, development and additional component costs.”
