Copeland scroll variable speed compressors use efficient brushless permanent magnet motors that precisely adjust to cooling loads from 15-120 percent compressor capacities.

Variable speed scroll compressors work with these key components: an HVE valve, intermediate discharge valve, optimized scroll element, and a positive displacement oil pump.

CASE STUDY
Innovative chiller helps reclaim heat turning cool rooms into hot showers

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.
