With the six-cylinder capacity of the HGX56 CO2 T, customers can reduce the number of compressors in a system, resulting in less system complexity and lower investment costs, a press release from Danfoss said.
CEO Ross Shuster called Copeland “the newest 100-year-old company in the HVAC industry.” After 37 years as part of Emerson, Copeland became a stand-alone company last year after Emerson reached a deal with an investment firm.
The change comes as the industry anticipates accelerated adoption of CO2 refrigeration technology being driven by food retail businesses pledging sustainability targets and needing to comply with environmental regulations.

Ross B. Shuster, CEO, Copeland, discusses Blackstone’s investment into the company, how the transaction will impact the company’s HVAC offerings, and more.
HVACR systems consume a significant amount of energy, which leads to increased carbon emissions. Manufacturers have found that the variable-speed compressor may be the solution to this problem.
Inverter technology is being incorporated into a wider range of HVAC systems, allowing the equipment to operate at lower speeds and consume less energy, which results in significant energy savings and lower carbon emissions.
At the AHR Expo, refrigeration manufacturers displayed their latest equipment and components that are geared toward the commercial refrigeration market.
