Meet Energy Efficiency Targets

The Copeland variable speed reciprocating hermetic compressor line was designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) meet increasingly stringent energy requirements in stand-alone medium- and low-temperature refrigeration equipment. Implementing variable speed compression technology is among the few design options left for meeting current and future energy regulations.


In addition, Copeland variable speed reciprocating hermetic compressors are well-suited for environmental life sciences, medical and pharmaceutical industry applications.

Superior Energy Efficiency and Refrigeration Performance

Variable capacity modulation combined with smart controls delivers energy and performance improvements that far exceed fixed capacity models.

Integrated Solution
Combines Copeland variable speed reciprocating hermetic compressor and variable speed (VS) drive with an embedded smart controller.
Energy Savings
Increases system energy efficiency by 13% compared to a high-efficiency, fixed speed, R-290 compressor. The embedded drives and controls help reduce compressor cycling by 90%.
Performance Gains
Variable capacity modulation delivers faster temperature pull-downs, more precise temperature holding, and less wear on system components.
Sustainability
By using the refrigerant R-290 with a low global warming potential (GWP) of 3, operators can meet the most stringent refrigerant regulations.
Improved Reliability
Provides protection and proactive prevention of compressor failure; the ability to handle voltage fluctuations; and a reduction in start/stops.
Operational Advantages
SKU reduction simplifies servicing while delivering a wide range of application versatility.
