Copeland™ scroll compressors for Refrigeration

After the failure of a competitor’s scroll compressor at a meat processing facility, a seasoned contractor teamed with Emerson to resolve the issue. This meat processor had been using another brand of scroll compressor in its primary meat chiller to quickly bring down the temperature of the processed beef to safe storage levels. After diagnosing the problem as excessive oil carryover, our Copeland™ scroll compressor proved to be the solution and prevented the facility from unexpected downtime.

Whole Foods Market wanted to build an environmentally friendly supermarket with energy efficient refrigeration systems. Traditional parallel rack refrigeration systems have long runs of copper pipe and large refrigerant charges, which increases the opportunity for refrigerant leaks. See how Copeland™ scroll technology helped Whole Foods Market reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5 million pounds per store.

Price Chopper grocery stores wanted to improve its refrigeration systems to reduce energy costs, make it easier to commission and maintain, and reduce downtime. Traditional parallel rack systems separate the compressors from the electronics, leading to many electronic components and making it complicated to troubleshoot. Price Chopper installed the Copeland™ scroll digital compressor, which resulted in no compressor failures, thereby saving cost, reducing equipment downtime, and avoiding food spoilage.

It seems like every month there’s a new story of a high-profile food recall or restaurant shutdown due to food borne illness outbreaks. As if food retailers need to be reminded of the damage these incidents can inflict on a brand, too often we hear of major chains and manufacturers having to close their doors — in part due to food poisoning judgments. See how Emerson plays an integral role in helping retailers minimize temperature deviations and maintain optimal conditions throughout the supply chain. 

For restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores, their reputations are built upon their ability to deliver consistently fresh, high-quality, new food offerings. To accurately maintain this freshness and quality, store operators must have the capability to automate the monitoring and reporting of product case and food temperatures. Formerly, operators would stake their quality and freshness reputations on unreliable and error-prone manual recording and tracking methods. See how Emerson technology can help take the guesswork out of temperature monitoring.
