Copeland is launching two compressor platforms. Copeland’s YAW and YAV variable-speed compressor platforms help heat pump manufacturers overcome heating capacity challenges in cold climate applications down to -25 °F, supporting the acceleration of sustainable heat pump adoption. The Copeland YAW and YAV variable-speed scroll compressor platforms are engineered to deliver the heating capacities and efficiencies required to meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) strict cold climate heat pump (CCHP) standard. The YAV variable-speed scroll compressor platform extends heat pump capacity ranges to help maintain comfort in ambient temperatures as low as -25 F for residential and commercial applications. In cold climate scenarios, these compressors can overspeed to produce much needed heating capacity. 

Available in tonnage ranges for both residential and commercial applications, the YAW platform features a multitude of innovations, including scroll enhancements for lower-global warming potential (GWP) A2L refrigerant optimization, a new scroll design to improve heating and cooling efficiencies, and an injection port on the compressor for an enhanced vapor injection (EVI) loop. Its design enables OEMs to precisely inject vapor during the compression cycle while providing subcooling to the refrigerant before entering the evaporator.
