ATLANTA, GA (March 6, 2017) - Embraco, one of the largest manufacturers of hermetic compressors for refrigeration, has introduced an industry-leading and environmentally friendly refrigeration solution, the EMC Compressor, into the U.S. market.
“We first unveiled the EMC Compressor at the 2016 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) and we are thrilled to now have the product in the market for our customers in the U.S.,” said Michel Moreira, North America CCS Sales Manager, Embraco. “The EMC Compressor is one of the most efficient R290 compressors available. It will not only help manufacturers meet the upcoming regulations for the U.S. market, it will also help improve energy efficiency and limit the impact on the environment.”
The EMC Compressor is a highly innovative compressor that uses natural refrigerant R290. It is designed for use in beverage coolers, vending machines, under-counter coolers and reach-ins. The EMC Compressor is one of the world’s most efficient single-speed compressors, consuming up to 30 percent less energy than traditional compressors currently sold in the United States. It features a smaller platform, with an extended cooling capacity that can replace larger compressors, releasing more internal space for the refrigerators.
“At Embraco, we are constantly investing in research and development to provide the most innovative cooling technologies in the market,” said Moreira. “The EMC Compressor is an example of how Embraco and natural refrigerants are changing the industry to provide sustainable and energy efficient products.”
Recognized with an Honorable Mention by the AHR Innovation Awards, the EMC Compressor works with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and nearly zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), allowing manufacturers to meet the refrigerant regulation proposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SNAP program. Additionally, a cabinet using the EMC Compressor met the ENERGY STAR Version 4.0 specification for commercial refrigerators and freezers that will take effect on March 27, 2017.
