Emerson Launches Next Generation of Copeland™ Scroll Fixed-speed Compressors

Copeland ZPK7 scroll compressor platform offers most efficient generation to date to meet upcoming 2023 regulations

SIDNEY, OHIO, JANUARY 25, 2022 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) has launched the next generation of Copeland™ ZPK7 single (fixed) speed scroll compressors for residential and light commercial HVAC applications including heat pumps, split air conditioning, packaged systems, rooftops and geothermal systems.

The Copeland™ ZPK7 is the most efficient fixed speed scroll compressor in the brand’s 100-year history. The new ZPK7 fixed-speed scroll compressor platform is currently optimized for R410A refrigerant and provides enhanced performance at the SEER2 B rating point condition and at key HSPF2 part load operating conditions. These large efficiency gains are paired with new, innovative compression technology and manufacturing processes that result in reduced compressor to compressor performance variability.

“Higher efficiency requirements mandated by 2023 present challenges for our customers and are driving development of products to help overcome those challenges,” said Brandy Powell, vice president and general manager, Residential Air Conditioning for Emerson. “Backed by the Copeland brand’s legacy of reliability and inventiveness, this next platform of compressors offers the efficiency gains to support the industry’s shift to more sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions.”

Emerson’s Next-Generation Fixed-Speed (ZPK7) Scroll Compressors offer:

Regulation-ready efficiency to help meet new 2023 DOE standards
Platform for next generation of A2L compressors
2021 AHR Innovation Award Winner for Air Conditioning

Copeland’s ZPK7 fixed-speed scroll compressors have initially launched with 1.5-5-ton single phase models, with three-phase models following in 2022. This next-generation lineup will offer low-GWP compatibility and an optimized platform for A2L refrigerants.

Emerson is marking the 100th anniversary of Copeland. With more than 200 million scroll compressor installations and a history of rigorous product testing and extensive research, Copeland compressors offer reliable, low-GWP refrigerant solutions to support manufacturers’ needs to redesign their systems to meet efficiency and refrigerant regulations.
