Copeland offers a wide range of fully hermetic leak-free Copeland™ scroll compressors for medium and low pressure refrigerants that address the specific needs of transport air-conditioning, including natural and low-GWP options. Our products meet customers’ need for reliability and performance.

Copeland Scroll Compressors for Bus Cooling and Heating

Copeland Scroll Compressors for Bus Applications

Thanks to an all hermetic design, Copeland scroll compressors eliminate the potential risk of refrigerant leakage through the drive shaft sealing, a problem frequently encountered with open compressors in bus air conditioning and other applications. This contributes to system reliability as well as environmental friendliness. Thanks to fewer moving parts, scroll compressors are more reliable than piston compressors for transport applications.

Copeland provides scroll compressors with a cooling and heating capacity of 7 - 35 kW for the air conditioning of traditional buses, as well as for electric buses. Heat pumps with the natural refrigerant R290 are the ideal solution for electric buses.

Copeland Scroll Compressors for Rail Applications

Copeland has many years of experience providing reliable compressors for train air conditioning. Compactness and low weight are design inherent strengths of Copeland scroll compressors. We provide standard and digital scroll compressors with a cooling and heating capacity of 7 - 35 kW for this application.

Copeland scroll compressors can be used as multiples to achieve higher performances and they can be integrated into reversible systems for improved heating performances.

Because of the need to switch to alternative refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential, Copeland provides alternatives for medium and low pressure refrigerants.
