January 18, 2006—Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson, has announced that China’s Ministry of Construction has awarded a heat pump system using Emerson’s new Copeland Digital Scroll Heating technology with its highest endorsement—designating it as a “world leading” technology.
This marks the first time in seven years that any new technology in China has received this top designation from the Ministry of Construction, says Emerson.
A heat pump is basically an electric-powered air conditioner that can operate in reverse—absorbing heat from the outdoor air (or ground) and pumping it indoors to heat a space. The heat pump’s compressor moves refrigerant through outdoor and indoor coils to enable the heating or cooling cycle. A heat pump system using Emerson’s Copeland Digital Scroll Heating compressor with its new enhanced heating technology has greater heating capacity and operates more efficiently at low outdoor temperatures than a conventional heat pump.
