Copeland, a global provider of sustainable climate solutions, announced today the expansion of its variable speed technology platform, integrating compressors, drives, and controllers for heating, cooling and refrigeration systems. This integrated solution drives enhanced efficiency, precise control, and sustainability across a wide range of heating and cooling applications — including energy storage, data centers, transportation, convenience stores and supermarkets — playing a key role in advancing the global energy transition.
According to the International Energy Agency, as of 2024, heating in buildings is responsible for 4 gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 emissions annually, representing approximately 10% of total global emissions. In the data center sector, global demand is projected to grow 2.5 times its current level by 2030, with consistent growth across all regions.
Copeland’s variable-speed integrated solution empowers customers to reduce system design costs, accelerate time to market, and achieve operational excellence. By delivering cost savings and promoting environmental stewardship, this solution positions businesses to meet evolving global sustainability demands.
Specifically designed for data centers, chillers, heat pumps, and energy storage applications, the 130cc variable-speed solution can achieve up to 30% energy savings*. It meets stringent regulatory standards while advancing sustainability initiatives, ensuring customers remain future-ready in an increasingly eco-conscious world.
“Operational efficiency, sustainability, and precise control are critical in meeting the global climate challenges of today and tomorrow,” said Michael Toh, president of Asia-Pacific region for Copeland. “At Copeland, we are committed to innovation, providing our customers with comprehensive solutions that accelerate time to market and reduce system design costs while providing sustainable value to our customers. Our variable speed integrated solutions enable advanced energy efficiency with the flexibility to support multiple low-GWP refrigerants to support sustainability across a wide range of applications.”
Comprehensive Solutions for Diverse Applications
Copeland’s variable speed integrated solution delivers outstanding performance across a range of sectors, from green buildings and data centers to transportation applications. In data centers, Copeland’s drive technology ensures a high-power factor and low iTHD, enabling precise temperature and humidity control essential for uninterrupted hyperscaler operations. Its compact design is perfectly suited for transportation applications such as electric buses and trains, where space and efficiency are critical.
Additionally, Copeland’s solutions accelerate the shift from fossil fuels to air-source heat pumps, delivering exceptional efficiency even in low ambient conditions through enhanced vapor injection technology. By incorporating low-GWP refrigerants like R-454B / R-290, Copeland underscores its commitment to sustainability and helping its customers to minimize environmental impact.
