Copeland™ Scroll Booster
A distributed scroll booster architecture developed by Copeland to help food retailers meet their sustainability and energy consumption goals using a familiar operating footprint.
Architecture Designed for Sustainable Supermarket Refrigeration
Achieving lower-GWP refrigeration and energy efficiency within a familiar operating footprint.
Proof of Concept and Future Evolution
The combination of high performance, sustainability and serviceability made the Copeland scroll booster an ideal choice for Gem City Market, a new small-format supermarket built in a food desert in Dayton, Ohio. The project involved collaboration among the affected Dayton community, city officials and commercial refrigeration industry leaders who donated their respective expertise and resources to the project.
When even lower-GWP refrigerants (such as A2Ls) are approved for use by applicable codes and standards, a distributed scroll booster system can be adapted for use with these ultra-low refrigerant alternatives (less than 150 GWP).
Pioneered at Helix Innovation Center
When The Helix Innovation Center, a Copeland facility located on the University of Dayton campus opened, we envisioned it as a catalyst to advance research and drive innovation for the global heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry.
The collaboration with Gem City Market stakeholders took place within The Helix Innovation Center. Industry stakeholders came together to design a custom configuration of the distributed scroll booster system according to the Gem City Market’s unique footprint, floor plan and refrigeration requirements.
