Modulating Compressors for Residential Applications
Modulation technologies have the ability to modify compressor capacity to meet cooling demand.
The capacity of the compressor changes to meet the cooling demand and therefore reduce energy consumption. Modulation technology leads to many benefits including increased humidity and temperature control, efficiency, reliability and comfort.
Variable speed systems modulate refrigerant flow by varying the speed of the compressor motor.
The compressor runs at either 65% or 100% capacity, depending on cooling/heating demand
The Goodman 16-18 SEER systems featuring the Copeland Scroll two-stage compressor provide contractors with an ideal way to help homeowners get the comfort and efficiency they want at an accessible price. In this podcast, you can check out an interview with Eric Strausbaugh of Emerson and Steve Miles of Jerry Kelly Heating and Air Conditioning to hear what Steve thinks about two-stage technology and how to talk about it with homeowners.
