ST. LOUIS (July 29, 2024) – Copeland, a global provider of sustainable climate solutions, proudly announced that two of its innovative products have received prestigious awards in this year’s Dealer Design Awards program sponsored by The Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration (ACHR) News Magazine.
- Oil-Free Centrifugal Compressor with Aero-lift™ Bearing Technology (Silver Award):
- Copeland’s oil-free centrifugal compressor, equipped with Aero-lift™ bearing technology, has been recognized with a silver award. Here’s why it stands out:
- Purpose: Engineered specifically for modern air- and water-cooled chiller applications, this compressor ensures worry-free performance.
- Frictionless Aero-lift Bearing: Unlike other oil-free compressor solutions that rely on electromagnetic levitation bearings, Copeland’s Aero-lift bearing technology simplifies the application. It delivers oil-free simplicity without sensors and control complexities.
- Benefits:
- High-lift performance
- Increased reliability
- Efficiency improvements in full- and part-load conditions
- Reduced costs and reliability concerns associated with oil-based lubrication.
- Ideal Applications:
- Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers in mission-critical data centers
- Large healthcare facilities
- Heat recovery applications.
- Copeland’s oil-free centrifugal compressor, equipped with Aero-lift™ bearing technology, has been recognized with a silver award. Here’s why it stands out:
- 4MTLS Transcritical CO₂ Semi-Hermetic Compressor (Bronze Award):
- Copeland’s 4MTLS28ME transcritical CO₂ semi-hermetic compressor has received a bronze award. Key features include:
- Expanded Capacity: With the largest displacement in Copeland’s CO₂ product lineup, the 4MTLS expands options for designing CO₂ booster systems.
- Global Transition to Lower-GWP Refrigerants: As retailers worldwide shift toward environmentally friendly refrigerants, this compressor supports the rapid adoption of CO₂ refrigeration.
- Flexibility and Cost Savings: Stakeholders benefit from additional flexibility, potentially requiring fewer compressors and lowering the applied costs and complexities of CO₂ booster system design.
- Copeland’s 4MTLS28ME transcritical CO₂ semi-hermetic compressor has received a bronze award. Key features include:
Jeff Lichty, Director of Product Management (Refrigeration) at Copeland, emphasized the importance of these innovations: “As the refrigerant transition continues to progress, the demand for CO₂ refrigeration is expected to increase exponentially over the next five years.”
These awards underscore Copeland’s commitment to cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. Congratulations to the Copeland team for their well-deserved recognition!
