Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson, manufactured this Copeland Scroll compressor with CoreSense communications modules to give air conditioning customers communication, protection, and diagnostics onboard. The compressors can stream real-time diagnostics to the system controller. By using the compressor as a sensor, data from inside the system can be accessed and monitored in real time by the controller, improving performance and reliability. The system allows for automatic and proactive shutdown when adverse operating conditions are detected. Diagnostics and protection include missing phase, reverse phase, short cycling protection, motor temperature protection, locked rotor, and fault history over the life of the compressor.
