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.

Sustainable

Utilizes a lower-GWP A1 refrigerant to meet sustainability goals. Provides a 56% reduction in GWP compared to R-134a.

Simple

Pre-configured components allow for a simple set-up, commissioning and operation.

Smart

Integrates seamlessly with Copeland’s new E3 supervisory control and Dixell™ refrigeration controllers.

Serviceable

The architecture was designed with familiar operating principles in mind, making it easy for technicians and end users to service and maintain the equipment.

Safe

By leveraging low-pressure A1 refrigerants, the system architecture provides peace of mind to technicians during installation and servicing.

Stable

At the heart of the architecture, the dependable Copeland scroll compressor provides consistent temperatures, delivering predictable performance and operation.

CONNECT WITH EXPERTS

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.
