Copeland scroll technology
When Copeland first pioneered the use of scroll technology in compressors, it changed the industry forever. Since then, Copeland scroll compressors have been installed over 170 million times and the technology remains at the forefront for HVACR applications, impressing contractors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with its superior efficiency, proven reliability, and ease of installation. And a $100 million engineering research facility in our future means even better technology in yours. These new HVACR technology labs in Ohio will allow us to create and test new Copeland innovations in entirely new ways.
How does a scroll compressor work?
Copeland scroll compressors work with one scroll orbiting in a path defined by a matching fixed scroll. The fixed scroll is attached to the compressor body while the orbiting scroll is coupled to the crankshaft. The orbiting motion creates a series of gas pockets traveling between the two scrolls. On the outer portion of the scrolls, the pockets draw in gas then move it to the center of the scroll where it's discharged. As the gas moves into the scroll's center, the temperature and pressure increase to the desired discharge pressure.

Case Studies
Copeland and Tekgard's teamwork, open communication and collaboration, along with Copeland's resources and expertise, helped the U.S. Army improve the design and reliability of its units ensuring full compliance to military standards and specifications.
In the United States, the average energy expenditure per person is $3,052 annually. Heating and cooling account for about 48% of all energy consumption per household, making chillers and air conditioners the best targets for energy savings.
Faced with industry staffing shortages and wanting to be more efficient on calls, Cleaves American Heating & Air Conditioning of Lima, Ohio looked for a contactor that would offer better system diagnostics and protection, and more features for homeowners.
In the U.S., large hotels spend an annual average per square foot of $1.05 on electricity and $0.25 on natural gas. In a typical lodging facility, lighting, space heating, and water heating represent close to 60 percent of total use, making those systems the best targets for energy savings. Rather than paying to reject heat generated by cooling, hotel facility managers can recover heat for use throughout the facility.
Air conditioning is essential in Florida. Managing both temperature and comfort throughout the home are challenges facing any residential heating and cooling system. Bay Area Air Conditioning & Heating recommends Carrier Infinity Greenspeed intelligence heat pump systems which feature the Copeland Scroll variable speed compressor, enabling increased comfort and year-round savings.
Skopps Supermarket, a supermarket located in New York’s Catskill Mountains, replaced its existing store, adding both square footage and refrigeration equipment while lowering the percentage of energy used. As planning for the new store’s refrigeration system was discussed, reliability was a primary concern.
