Copeland, Efficiency And You

The Ecodesign Directive requires air conditioning and heating OEMs to review and improve their equipment to meet minimum seasonal performance levels. Copeland helps with solutions that combine modulation technology with intelligent electronics for smart and reliable circuit management. These solutions will enable system manufacturers to meet Ecodesign Directive requirements, time-to-market challenges, and ROI demands.

Modernizing Modulation

Energy Efficiency at full load (EER) is not always an adequate index to rank real energy consumption. The energy consumption of an air conditioner or heat pump is largely weather dependent. Even more, units are often selected to cover the cooling and/or heating needs during the most critical periods of the year. Therefore they will be over-sized most of the time, and rarely run at full load.

 

Copeland provides different modulation solutions to make variable capacity air conditioning, heat pumps, and liquid-chiller packages more efficient. Additionally, continuous or step control of the compressor can more closely match the varying load, thus improving system efficiency.
