Copeland Oil-Free Centrifugal Compressor
Featuring Aero-lift™ bearing technology for an easy-to-apply, low and ultra-low GWP compatible oil-free solution that delivers increased efficiency levels.
Leveraging 100 years of the Copeland legacy of reliability and inventiveness, this compressor offers the next evolution of compressor technology in the market. This compressor offers a simplified solution that reduces the overall system complexity with the Aero-lift™ bearing technology eliminating the need for oil management and active bearing control.
Robust cooling capacity
Meeting the demanding cooling load requirements of mission-critical, air-cooled chiller applications requires high-tonnage, high-speed compressors that can deliver robust, precise and reliable performance.
Energy efficiency
Compared to existing screw compressor technology, the Copeland oil-free centrifugal compressor delivers significant energy efficiency gains in full- and part-load conditions.
Flexible architecture
Independent configuration of compressor, electronic controls and VFDs opens new design options for chiller OEMs while allowing systems to be customized for various and/or specific application requirements.
Performance Enhancing Algorithms
The Copeland oil-free centrifugal compressor leverages intelligent control algorithms and predictive data models to optimize performance and reliability.
Copeland is delighted to announce the launch of our new oil-free centrifugal compressor with frictionless Aero-lift™ bearing technology. Featuring frictionless, oil-free compression technology, it offers efficient, robust, and reliable performance in air- and water-cooled chiller applications.
The groundbreaking Aero-lift bearing technology enables the compressor shaft to self-levitate and operate independently — without friction or reliance on electromagnetics, complex controls, or proximity sensors. Learn more in our latest press release.
This groundbreaking compressor platform is uniquely optimized to address today’s air-cooled, data center chiller requirements while offering broad applicability across a wide range of current and emerging applications.
