Emerson Climate Technologies: Refrigeration: Horizontal Scroll
Compressors

The
Horizontal Scroll compressor from Copeland is perfect for height sensitive
applications. This Copeland Scroll™ compressor was designed for applications
in low height condensing units and distributed systems in supermarkets.
These systems require lower refrigerant charges and enable shorter piping runs.
Furthermore the horizontal scroll has found applications in transport.
Compressor sizes range from 2 to 6 horsepower with models for low, medium and
high temperature applications and are compatible with R-404A, R-134a, and R-22
refrigerants.
The horizontal scroll
utilizes the same technology as Copeland’s vertical refrigeration scroll, which
makes it the world’s only true refrigeration scroll with efficiencies up to
30% higher than any similar product. This low-low side shell guarantees low
internal scroll temperatures and superior lubrication at all times, ensuring
outstanding reliability and long life, even in the most demanding refrigeration
applications.

With a minimum of
accessories, this compressor is easy to apply and it further offers very
low height requirements, low sound and vibration, optimized liquid injection and
the lowest operating costs. All horizontal Copeland Scroll™ compressor models
come standard with a positive displacement oil pump, ensuring reliable
lubrication and oil management for rigorous applications.

In supermarket
applications, some of these low-profile condensing units are mounted right on
top or very near to the case lineups they are serving. This leads to shorter
piping runs, which means minimum pressure drop and minimal suction line
superheats to keep energy savings and capacities high.
