One to twenty five horsepower Copeland Scroll® compressors are designed and built exclusively for refrigeration applications. Refrigeration scroll compressors feature fewer moving parts and are highly reliable. Models are available for full temperature range applications, including low temperature to -40°F. Before you specify your next application, make sure there is a Copeland Scroll compressor inside.
Low Temperature Applications - Copeland Scroll™ ZFKV Compressors
Vapor injection is a versatile method of improving system capacity and efficiency in many commercial refrigeration applications. Traditionally the only way to enjoy the added benefits of this type of mechanical subcooling was with a large screw compressor or two semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors. Now the Copeland Scroll ZFKV compressor enables significant performance gains with a single compressor. Vapor injection in the middle of the compression process boosts capacities and efficiencies significantly.

The new scroll range includes 6 models from 4 to 15 HP and is designed to offer high efficiency levels at low evaporating temperatures with R404A and R507. It is the ideal choice for condensing units, parallel racks and distributed refrigeration systems.

The new ZFKV scroll compressor has been specifically designed for vapor injection in low temperature applications. The optimized design of ZFKV together with subcooling provides a 40% increase in capacity and 20% increase in efficiency at low temperature rating conditions. The bigger the pressure ratio between condensing and evaporating pressures, the more significant the performance gains with ZFKV compared to any other compressor technology. This makes ZFKV scroll compressors the most efficient compressor on the market for low temperature applications.
Medium and High Temperature Applications - Copeland Scroll ZBKC Compressors
Copeland Scroll compressor technology offers a superior solution for medium and high temperature refrigeration applications. The ZB*KC compressor is ideal for applications that require high energy efficiency and reliability in a compact design. This range of products now spans from 2 to 15 HP.
Medium temperature applications that benefit from Copeland Scroll ZB*KC compressor technology include foodservice, cold rooms, and industrial process chillers.
Copeland Scroll ZB*KC compressors are available for refrigerants R404A, R507, R134a, and R22. They include refrigeration duty options such as rotalock connections, sight glass and Schraeder® fitting for oil fill.
The latest generation of Copeland Scroll ZB*KC compressors from Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. is optimized for medium temperature applications and offer a 10-15% improvement in annual efficiency. Over 10,000 Copeland Scroll ZB*KC compressors have been installed worldwide in single compressor systems, parallel racks, and distributed architecture systems.

New Scroll Technology
Emerson was first to develop scroll compressor technology for the commercial refrigeration market. We continue to evolve the Copeland Scroll compressor platform into larger displacements as well as new applications such as Open Drive Scroll for truck transport systems and Copeland Scroll cryogenic compressors for cryogenic cooling of superconductors.
