As the longtime leader in refrigeration compressor solutions, Copeland^® now offers Copeland Scroll^® compressors with Digital Technology – an extraordinary new way to precisely match capacity and power consumption to the desired load of your equipment. They key advantages to this new modulating technology include significantly lower energy consumption compared to standard fixed speed compressors, and drastically reduced applied cost by eliminating the need for many redundant temperature control components. For 15 years, the patented axial and radial compliance of the Copeland Scroll compressor have provided a decisive reliability advantage by allowing the scroll elements to mechanically separate under the most extreme circumstances. Now, Digital technology actively manages axial compliance, achieving capacity modulation from 10% to 100%. Precise temperature control is achieved in a simple, reliable manner (see graph below).

Traditional modulation technologies consume close to full-load energy no matter what the required capacity. Copeland® Digital Scroll™ technology reduces power consumption linearly as it modulates capacity, resulting in optimum system performance and control. The result is precision capacity control, which can lower energy consumption in some applications by as much as 47%.
