Debuting new products and embracing future challenges with innovative technology

In recent years China has introduced new policies to guide and support environmental protection. As the industry leader, Emerson is committed to making the HVAC industry more environmentally-friendly. In order to reduce carbon emissions and conserve power, the company has developed new products and solutions. As such, the debut of District Heating ZW 25HP and Chiller Variable Speed Solutions was one of the highlights of the Expo, as it showed off the power of innovation to empower green development.

District Heating ZW 25HP: As the leader in district heating compressors segment in northern China, Emerson launched its new product, District Heating ZW 25HP. Designed to empower clean district heating in cold climates and promote energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives, the new product has the following advantages:

• The first R410A 25HP Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) scroll compressor for application in a low ambient hot water environment.
• Superb operational efficiency that helps the client reduce system and heating operation costs.
• Industry leading operational conditions with an evaporating temperature as low as -35℃ and provision of water hotter than 55℃ during conditions of -25℃.

Chiller Variable Speed Solutions: Emerson has further increased investment in the field of variable speed compressors, raising the chilling capacity of the existing variable speed up to 260kW, in order to support chiller applications. Apart from meeting various customization requirements, the solutions have the following advantages:

• Designed for chillers and delivers perfect performance in conditions of low global warming potential (GWP)
• +30% heating capacity at -30℃low ambient
• Ultra-first grade energy efficiency
• Tandem capability for best-cost solution 

Award-winning technological innovation leads the innovative development of the industry

Apart from its new products, two award-winning products in Emerson’s booth have drawn a great deal of attention, namely the Copeland Scroll™ZB Large Commercial Refrigeration Compressor and Emerson R32 Variable Speed Compressor (80CC). They are the latest fruits of Emerson’s commitment to technological innovation, with industry-leading performance, reliability and environment protection.

Copeland Scroll™ZB Large Commercial Refrigeration Compressor boasts a capacity of 30HP per unit and a chilling capacity up to 53kW. It not only further diversifies the Scroll™ portfolio, but ensures high energy efficiency in peak season, with stronger performance but a balanced price. It fills a gap the market by offering a higher power scroll compressor and meets the expanding demand for large refrigeration equipment in China.

Emerson R32 Variable Speed Compressor (80CC) targets the variable speed eco-refrigerant market and features the low GWP refrigerant R32. With DC variable speed technology, it saves more energy and achieves more accurate control of temperatures. With Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology, it effectively expands the range of operation and improves heating capabilities in a low ambient temperature environment.

Due to the demands of energy conservation, a reduction in emissions and “blue sky defense,” in the 13th Five-Year Plan, the concepts of energy conservation and environmental protection have become widely accepted in China. In response to national policy and market demand in China, Emerson continues to develop and improve industry leading, innovative technologies, including variable speed, Enhanced Vapor Injection, low ambient heat pump and so on. It has launched many environmentally-friendly products and solutions and leads the industry by offering templates and best practices. Apart from providing comfort and clean air, Emerson offers full food safety support. Its end-to-end solutions keep food fresh, from the field to your plate. Emerson will keep launching innovative products and improve people’s lives, thanks to favorable government policies, changing market needs, and improved living standards.

Galen Yin, Vice President, Climate Technologies China, for Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions, commented: “China has now become Emerson’s second largest market, after the U.S., and we can see many innovative applications for Emerson’s products and solutions during the Emerson Cup in China. China Refrigeration Expo is an important platform, where many of our partners and experts in the industry can take a good look at our products, services and solutions. It also gives us first-hand feedback from the market, helping us to improve our understanding of client’s needs and the market, thereby supporting Emerson’s product innovation and operation in the Chinese market.”
