System manufacturers constantly face competitive pressures and time-to-market constraints while meeting increasing energy restrictions. At the same time, end-users are demanding higher efficiency and lower operating costs. All amidst an ever-present general demand for increased ROI.
The Ecodesign Directive requires air conditioning and heating OEMs to review and improve their equipment to meet minimum seasonal performance levels. Copeland helps with solutions that combine modulation technology with intelligent electronics for smart and reliable circuit management. These solutions will enable system manufacturers to meet Ecodesign Directive requirements, time-to-market challenges, and ROI demands.
The heating and cooling systems in buildings account for approximately 1/3 of global energy consumption annually, and therefore, a large part of CO2 emissions. To meet European 20-20-20 Directive targets, we embraces our responsibility to proactively increase product efficiency by significantly reducing energy consumption. We are continuously investing in state-of-the-art solutions to improve precise capacity control and efficiency of HVACR equipment, while also improving human comfort and ensuring high quality of food preservation.
Energy Efficiency at full load (EER) is not always an adequate index to rank real energy consumption. The energy consumption of an air conditioner or heat pump is largely weather dependent. Even more, units are often selected to cover the cooling and/or heating needs during the most critical periods of the year. Therefore they will be over-sized most of the time, and rarely run at full load.
Copeland provides different modulation solutions to make variable capacity air conditioning, heat pumps, and liquid-chiller packages more efficient. Additionally, continuous or step control of the compressor can more closely match the varying load, thus improving system efficiency.
Our fully developed solutions integrate Copeland™ scroll compressors, Copeland valves, and Dixell™ controls, so system manufacturers can create smart systems that improve performance, satisfy Ecodesign, reduce time-to-market, and increase ROI.
Copeland™ scroll ZX refrigeration units are certified by Asercom for Energy-related product compliance and Ecodesign Lot1 readiness.
