Emerson Launches Copeland™ Scroll Compressors for Low Temperature Applications with A2L Refrigerants

Emerson introduces new standard and digital scroll compressors for low temperature refrigeration applications approved to work with A2L low GWP refrigerants and A1 refrigerants, which will currently only be available for the European market.

Emerson has long invested in developing products and solutions optimized for A2L refrigerants to enable sustainable refrigeration. With Copeland's latest scroll compressors for low-GWP A2L refrigerants, Emerson is supporting OEMs by providing them with a long-term sustainable alternative.

Copeland YF / YFI / YFJ low GWP scroll compressors are optimized for low temperatures between -40°C and +7°C and their operation is approved for a variety of medium pressure A2L refrigerants such as R454A, L 'R454C and R455A.
The fully hermetic design of the YF scroll compressors is optimized to handle those refrigerants and operate efficiently and reliably.

The new YF range includes seven fixed speed models, two steam injection (YFI) and two digitally modulated (YFJ) models, covering a capacity range from 0.98 kW to 5.7 kW under EN12900 conditions for low temperatures. Vapor injection increases the system's cooling capacity by up to 40 percent and efficiency by up to 25 percent, making this range of compressors highly efficient for low temperature applications.
