Over 15 years ago, Emerson Climate
Technologies, Inc. revolutionized air conditioning by introducing the first
compressors to use scroll technology. The rest of the industry quickly
recognized that scroll compressors were inherently more energy efficient,
more reliable and quieter than traditional reciprocating models, and major
system manufacturers began producing scroll-based product lines to meet
contractor and end-user demand. Today, Copeland Scroll®
compressors ranging from 1-1/2 horsepower to 50 horsepower tandem models are
used in over 23 million installations worldwide.
Energy
efficiency has assumed unprecedented
importance in the current world economy, and field experience has shown
conclusively that Copeland Scroll®
compressors consume significantly less energy than comparable reciprocating
models. In fact, 67 percent of contractors taking part in a recent
survey said they preferred to sell Copeland Scroll®
systems.

Contractors know that the quality
of the products they install reflects positively or negatively on their
business. Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. understands that, too.
That's why we build every Copeland product to live up to your reputation.

Copeland Scroll®
compressors . . .
more efficient by design. |
The simple
straightforward design
of Copeland Scroll®
compressors
makes them inherently more efficient. That's why leading
manufacturers so often specify Copeland Scroll®
for systems
designed to meet the higher efficiency levels.
•
Since there are no pistons to
compress gas, there is
no
volumetric efficiency loss through
re-expansion, which typically
occurs with each piston
stroke in
reciprocating models.
•
Similarly, losses at valves are
eliminated, because valves
have
been eliminated.
•
During operation, centrifugal
force maintains nearly
continuous compression and
constant, leak-free contact.
•
Separation of suction and
discharge gases reduces heat
transfer loss.
