The Copeland™ 6-40 Ton ZPKZ Fixed Speed Scroll Compressor from Emerson is a new compressor that the manufacturer believes can help set the industry standard for efficiency while meeting the upcoming nationwide refrigeration regulations. The company’s efforts in working to reach that goal earned it a Gold award.
The fixed-speed scroll compressor is designed for commercial applications. It features R410A, a lower-GWP refrigerant, and is being released initially from 12 tons to 15 tons. The product aims to decrease the complexity of original equipment manufacturer and contractor installations by adding harmonized fittings and plug-and-play features. These features provide scalability in electronics, allowing OEMs to interchange and test different modules without completely redesigning their HVAC systems. With harmonized fittings orientation across the product line, these products serve as drop-in replacements for legacy compressors, reducing complexity for OEMs.
