A2L-Qualified Refrigeration Solutions
Compressors, Condensing Units and Controls
Offering an ideal combination of lower-global warming potential (GWP), high performance and larger charge sizes than R-290, A2L refrigerants have the potential to fill a much-needed niche across a broad range of applications. The A2L “lower flammability” classification requires an increased focus on equipment and application safety. Copeland is developing the next generation of A2L compression technologies across its major product platforms, qualified for use with R-455A (146 GWP), R-454C (148 GWP) and R-454A (238 GWP). Our deep compression portfolio, leak detection sensors and supervisory control architectures are designed to maximize A2L application safety and refrigeration reliability.
Copeland currently has product samples available for their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers across its major Copeland scroll, semi-hermetic, hermetic reciprocating, and condensing unit platforms. Copeland plans to release all full-production A2L models across its major product lines by 2024. Contact us to learn more about our A2L-qualified refrigeration solutions.
Copeland YF scroll compressor models are designed for use in low- to medium-temperature A2L refrigeration applications such as walk-in freezers and reach-in display cases. These scroll compressors are qualified to use multiple A2L refrigerants while delivering the lower sound and vibration levels that are preferred in supermarket, restaurant, and convenience store operations.
Copeland YS scroll compressor models are designed for use in medium- to high-temperature A2L refrigeration applications such as walk-in coolers, reach-in display cases, soft serve and frozen carbonated beverage equipment. Smooth scroll mechanics provide higher reliability and lower sound and vibration while the hermetic design reduces the potential for refrigerant leaks. These factors make YS models well-suited for supermarket, restaurant and convenience store environments.
Copeland YB scroll compressor models are designed for use in medium- to high-temperature A2L refrigeration applications. A wide capacity range expands the application potential of these flexible scroll compressors — from small reach-in displays and large beverage coolers to walk-in coolers.
Copeland YSVH horizontal scroll compressor models offer low-profile commercial refrigeration design advantages and legendary scroll reliability in medium- to high-temperature A2L such as walk-in, reach-in, coolers, soft serve and frozen carbonated beverage applications. Maximize merchandizing space, flexibility and safety while minimizing noise levels and vibration in refrigerated display cases.
Copeland Discus semi-hermetic compressors have been the unquestioned leader in commercial refrigeration for over 30 years. Combining world class efficiency and reliability, Discus is the compressor of choice to meet your refrigeration needs. The unique Discus valve design provides improved efficiency at operating conditions where most semi-hermetic compressors run. Grueling life-testing and 30 years of field experience make Discus compressors the most reliable compressor in the industry.
Designed for medium- and low-temperature, walk-in coolers, freezers and display cases commonly found in c-stores and restaurants and with diagnostic protection and electronic unit cooler, the F-Line is part of the industry’s broadest line of integral horsepower condensing units for refrigeration applications.
Designed for medium- and low-temperature, walk-in coolers, freezers and display cases commonly found in c-stores and restaurants and with its best-in-class energy efficiencies, slim profile, ultra-low sound levels, superior diagnostics and built-in protection, the X-Line delivers reliable commercial refrigeration while solving many of today’s small-format retailer challenges.
Safely deploy emerging A2L refrigeration applications with the industry’s most advanced facility management and refrigeration control platform. The E3 is designed with A2L control logic to oversee system monitoring and safety management by integrating Copeland case controls, leak detection and sensing devices.
A2L-qualified case controls deliver worry-free, case-level optimization and seamless integration with the E3 supervisory control. The XM600 Series case controls are designed to:
MRLDS-450 gas detectors leverage diffusion-based technology to help operators ensure system safety, optimize performance, and provide clear indications of A2L refrigerant leaks.
Refrigerant Leak Detection System (RLDS) delivers multi-zone coverage via aspirated system technology to detect A2L leaks early, minimize refrigerant loss, and maximize safety.
EVM Series drives are ideal for A2L refrigeration applications, pairing seamlessly with Copeland compressors to deliver significant improvements in system performance and reliability, substantial reductions in energy consumption and a fast return on investment.
