Cooling Requirements for Copelametic™


and Copeland Discus™ Compressors

Introduction
In response to customer inquires, both domestic and
international, Emerson Climate Technologies has
reviewed our application requirements for oil coolers and POE must be handled carefully and the proper

Product engineering has done extensive testing of must not come into contact with any surface or
various parameters, including unloading as well as fully material that might be harmed by POE, including
loaded. The results were the basis for the application without limitation, certain polymers (e.g. PVC/
envelope shown in Figure 1. CPVC and polycarbonate).

The latest testing has shown that as long as the Water-Cooled Compressors
