Emerson scroll compressor and inverter drive solution

USA: Emerson has announced the global availability of a new Copeland 110cc variable speed scroll compressor and 36kW inverter drive solution. 

These new products, both manufactured in China, are engineered to offer energy efficient and environmentally friendly improvements for a broad range of commercial air conditioning applications including chillers, data centres and package air conditioners.

With increasing temperatures creating a rising demand for air conditioning, Emerson says it has developed an integrated compressor technology solution that helps OEMs create commercial systems that enhance human health and protect the environment. 

The new Copeland 110cc variable speed scroll compressor and 36kW inverter drive solution are said to reduce in power consumption by up to 30% over conventional fixed-speed technology. 

Compatible with multiple refrigerants, including R32, the new compressor is designed to deliver outstanding part load and full-peak load performance.

Emerson maintains that the tandem configuration of variable speed and fixed speed compressors allows OEMs the flexibility to expand the range and strike the best balance of efficiency and cost.
