Copeland Compressor

Copeland compressors for refrigeration provide efficiency and proven reliability for commercial refrigeration applications. Copeland, a trusted provider with over 200 million installations to date around the world, advances leading scroll compression technology and CO2 reduction.

Copeland is a compressor brand in the United States. It has been acquired by Emerson and belongs to the Emerson Group. Copeland's scroll technology is specifically designed to achieve high efficiency and is compatible with various low-GWP refrigerants. It also has intelligent functions such as plug-and-play electronics, providing the performance and flexibility required for system design. Copeland's compressor technology has always been at the forefront in HVACR applications. Its high efficiency, proven reliability, and ease of installation are widely recognized by users.
The Copeland Company was founded in 1917 by Edmund Copeland. It mainly engages in the research and production of semi-hermetic compressors. In 1964, it began the standardization of parts. At that time, Copeland introduced large computers for production operations. By the mid-1960s, the demand for Copeland's single-unit air-conditioning compressors had doubled, and the international market's demand for Copeland products also began to grow. In the 1980s, Copeland introduced the scroll compressor to the market. This product not only changed the situation where piston and rotary compressors dominated the compressor industry but also made Copeland the focus of the compressor industry once again. On October 12, 1986, the Copeland Company was acquired by Emerson, a Fortune 500 company. With the support of Emerson, Copeland has developed rapidly. Sales and technical centers of Copeland have been established all over the world, including in Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

The model number of a Copeland™ condensing unit provides comprehensive identification information. These reference sheets detail the specific meaning of each character in the nomenclature system. Special attention should be given to the Bill Of Material matrix. The final three digits of the model number designate the connection type, UL rating, and standard accessories incorporated in the unit.

Copeland's operations in China comprise three manufacturing plants in Suzhou, a service center in Xi'an, and a research and development center in Suzhou. In November 2017, Copeland invested USD 40 million in the second phase development of its Suzhou scroll compressor manufacturing facility. The scroll compressor production capacity has expanded in tandem with the enhancement of technical support and service offerings.

Copeland scroll compressors operate with one scroll orbiting along a path delineated by a matching fixed scroll. The fixed scroll is affixed to the compressor body, while the orbiting scroll is coupled to the crankshaft. The orbiting movement generates a series of gas pockets that travel between the two scrolls. On the outer part of the scrolls, the pockets intake gas and then transfer it to the center of the scroll where it is discharged. As the gas progresses to the center of the scroll, the temperature and pressure escalate to the desired discharge pressure.

Copeland Scroll compressors provide reliability and efficiency for commercial refrigeration applications. These compressors can support reach-in coolers, walk-in refrigerators, freezers, and ice machines.
