Embraco Reveals the New X Generation Compressors 

JOINVILLE, SANTA CATARINA, BRAZIL — May 2022 - Embraco, a global provider of refrigeration technology for the residential and commercial cold chain, and a portfolio-brand of Nidec Global Appliance, has a new generation of compressors for commercial applications in the North American market. Each platform is an evolution of previous generations and brings a set of specific attributes, such as higher levels of energy efficiency and extended cooling capacity. Called the X Generation, it is composed of a set of robust models from the EMX, NTX, NJX and NEX compressors families. Except for the EMX-HST, because of its size limitations, this generation was also designed considering its use with the new R290 charge limits that are expected to take place in the US soon. These product families can handle larger flammable refrigerant charges increased from 150g to 500g [17.6 oz], in open cabinets and to 300g [10.6 oz] in closed ones. It would enable the adoption of R290 products in larger commercial refrigeration applications. The new UL standard on the subject was recently published, but before the charge limits could be implemented in the U.S., they first need the EPA SNAP approval as well as require Ashrae 15 Standard and Building Codes update. The four platforms have been launched in waves in the North American region, with the EMX HST (High Starting Torque) getting to customers in the end of 2021, the NJX in the first part of 2021, and the NEX and NTX in the end of 2020. Each family responds to specific market demands. For more information visit www.nidec.com
