Copeland housed condensing units for high-capacity refrigeration

Copeland Housed Condensing Units are high-capacity refrigeration units equipped with Copeland (Emerson) scroll or reciprocating compressors, mounted on a metal frame with a protective housing and built-in condenser, fans and electrical panel. The housing protects all components from outdoor conditions, allowing outdoor installation with maximum durability and no need for an additional enclosure. They are the standard solution in high-capacity industrial refrigeration installations requiring robust, self-contained, easy-to-maintain equipment.

Technical specifications

Applications

Large industrial cold rooms; meat, fish and dairy industries with continuous production; distribution cold stores; refrigeration plants for supermarkets and hypermarkets; temperature-controlled logistics and high-capacity cold chains.

Standards and compliance

Copeland housed condensing units comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The refrigerants used are subject to the F-Gas Regulation (EU) 517/2014. Installations must comply with UNE-EN 378 and the Spanish Refrigeration Installations Safety Regulation (RSIF) in force.

FAQs

What is the advantage of a housed unit over a conventional condensing unit?

A conventional condensing unit has its components mounted on an open frame, which exposes it to the weather and requires installation under cover or in a protected enclosure. A housed unit has a metal casing that protects all components from sun, rain, hail and corrosive agents, allowing installation directly outdoors without additional protection and significantly extending the unit’s service life in harsh environments.

Are Copeland housed units suitable for the food industry?

Yes. They are one of the most common solutions in medium and large food industry installations. They meet all the technical requirements of Regulation (EC) 852/2004 as regards refrigeration systems. Their robustness and the availability of Copeland replacement compressors make them particularly suitable for installations where an unplanned stoppage means significant losses.
