As federal- and state-sponsored legislation incentivizes heat pump adoption in the Americas, Copeland is leading the development of energy-efficient compression and heat pump technologies. 

Advances in compression technology are fueling the growth of current and next-generation heat pump solutions, necessary for achieving efficiency targets while meeting increased capacity demands.

From fixed speed, two-stage, variable-speed and vapor-injection, Copeland compression technologies are enabling wider heat pump adoption by addressing a full spectrum of application requirements. 

Decarbonizing water heating

Decarbonizing water heating

Air-to-water heat pumps are essential for decarbonizing traditional fossil fuel-burning boilers used in residential, commercial and industrial applications.  Hydronic heat pump solutions provide efficient, reliable space heating by distributing hot water through pipes connected to radiant floor heating systems, baseboards or fan coil units. Industrial heat pumps offer a potential replacement of gas-powered boilers used in industrial processes and sanitation — providing hot air, water or steam — and district heating applications. Federal and state regulations and incentives — combined with corporate sustainability initiatives — are driving the decarbonization of water heating. Copeland compression and heating technologies are enabling the wider adoption of hydronic heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and industrial heat pumps. These solutions leave a smaller carbon footprint than traditional fossil fuel-burning boilers.

Enabling the Electrification of Heating

Overcoming cold climate comfort limitations

Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) are commonly used in ducted residential applications and packaged rooftop units (RTUs) for commercial buildings.  One barrier to ASHP adoption is their inability to maintain sufficient comfort heating levels in cold climates. The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have issued calls for OEMs to improve heat pump capacity and overcome these limitations. Copeland is innovating advanced compression, inverter and controls technologies that support standard, dual-fuel and RTU heat pump designs. We're working with leading residential and commercial OEMs to meet the DOE standards and accelerate their paths to commercialization.
