1/8 to 5 horsepower hermetic reciprocating compressors from Copeland provide cost-effective solutions to systems requiring a wide range of evaporating capability. More than 300 models are available for applications including food service, ice machines, soft serve machines, FCB machines, air dryers, and beverage dispensers. Copeland hermetic compressors offer many advantages, including:

Performance

Copeland hermetic compressors are precision engineered to perform better. Because refrigeration applications are especially susceptible to any re-expansion volume, Copeland hermetic compressors are optimized with smaller bores and longer strokes, as well as thinner, stronger valve plate gaskets. This minimizes re-expansion of refrigerant, leading to higher capacities and efficiencies.

Copeland compressor designers have optimized motors and protectors to improve starting performance and voltage rundown characteristics. Internal pressure relief valves are incorporated into all large models. Unique valve plate and suction muffler designs result in low sound characteristics proven by sound lab comparisons. In total, there simply is no better hermetic compressor for refrigeration-duty applications.  

Reliability

Copeland hermetic compressors are the most reliable compressors available. The optimized design includes many reliability enhancements not found in other hermetic compressors. Redesigned bearing surfaces improve oil flow and reduce wear. Connecting rods are designed for better lubrication management. Adhesive coated gaskets improve liquid handling capabilities. The smaller bores and longer strokes designed into Copeland hermetic compressors not only improve efficiency, but also help to improve reliability by reducing bearing loads.  

Copeland engineers perform accelerated life tests on every compressor before they go into production to guarantee they meet our rigorous standards and specifications.  This severe testing simulates the most demanding applications and stresses critical components of the compressor, including bearings, gaskets, valves, and motors.  As a result of this testing we've beefed up suspension systems, optimized shell design and improved valving to make them the most durable hermetic compressors you can buy.

Full Application Range

Copeland hermetic compressors are approved for the latest refrigerants in a variety of refrigeration applications.  Many Copeland hermetic compressors are approved for operation with HFC refrigerants and Polyol Ester oil.  This solves the miscibility and solubility issues of mineral oil with the HFC refrigerants.

Versatility and a wide choice of operating ranges make Copeland hermetic compressors the first choice for every refrigeration need. The breadth of our hermetic line means system design engineers can match the right compressor to the job requirement for optimum energy efficiency. Copeland compressors are available to support worldwide equipment needs, with many choices of refrigerants and electrical variations. And every compressor is backed by Copeland's international reputation for quality and reliability.  

Outstanding Service and Support

You can always rely on the availability of Copeland hermetic compressors, regardless of quantity or time of the year - because Copeland knows that speed and consistency are critical to the success of any new product rollout.  So, we make sure equipment suppliers have what they need, when they need it.
