This is the second in a series of white
papers to assist and promote the initial progress of building national and
local coalitions to address the tremendous need for building a workforce for
the construction industry of America.
“I don’t think anybody who was on that [scroll technology
development] team 20 years ago would have forecasted that we would have nearly
60 million pieces in the field today, 10 plants around the world, and scroll
models from one to 30 horsepower... nobody would have envisioned that,” assured
Ed Purvis.
Sit down with those deeply involved in the
development and ultimate production of scroll technology, and the words
“challenge” and “hurdle” are likely to surface quite a bit, as they did when The
NEWS spoke with Emerson executives of the 1970s and 1980s, who played
key roles in taking Copeland Scroll to market.
Generally speaking, the HVACR trade takes its
good ol’ time in adopting - and then adapting to - new technologies, be they
large or small, bigger or better.
On behalf of The Air Conditioning,
Heating, and Refrigeration NEWS, please enjoy a mix of nostalgia with
the future, as you celebrate with Emerson Climate Technologies, the 20th
Anniversary of Copeland Scroll.
Everyone at Emerson Climate Technologies is
proud of how far Copeland Scroll has come in its first 20 years. But as we
reflect on scroll’s launch, its market acceptance and global expansion, we’re
much prouder of what this technology evolution has meant to our customers and
the industry as a whole.
Do you want to be great at solving employee
performance problems? If you are talking with employees about the details of
their work on a regular basis, then talking about small problems should be something you do as a matter of course.
A very common freezer repair trouble call is a frozen evaporator
coil. When you open the door to inspect the coil, look around for signs of
outside air migrating into the box.
Facility managers of the future will be astonished when they
discover that building systems were not always integrated into a
single enterprise-wide information technology network.
Yes, the “old days” of operating a building will be compared to writing letters
instead of text messaging. This future scenario is a lot closer than it seems.
Some applications utilize
an input or supply voltage of 277-1-60. While some components are
available for direct application of 277-1-60 power, most manufacturers find that the use of a buck-boost transformer to
lower the voltage is more cost effective.
