Following initial launches in North America, Europe and South Korea, LG is continuing to expand the availability of the Inverter Scroll Chiller globally in 2025.
Nidec recently acquired Xecom, a manufacturer of scroll compressors, and the move extends the Embraco brand's capabilities to the HVAC market while broadening its presence in the refrigeration segment.
The all-electric heat pumps, which transfer heat energy from the airstream in dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), feature a newly redesigned single-circuit refrigeration system.
The move to A2L refrigerants means compressors in new a/c and heat pump systems will have different features than older models. Three compressor manufacturers say they’re prepared.
Freeflex Versa will aid in the designing of smaller, more sustainable, and more energy-efficient compressors for refrigerators and freezers, a press release from Alleima said.
CEO Ross Shuster called Copeland “the newest 100-year-old company in the HVAC industry.” After 37 years as part of Emerson, Copeland became a stand-alone company last year after Emerson reached a deal with an investment firm.
