Compressors are critical to the operation of refrigeration systems, serving as the pump that distributes a refrigerant through a temperature-control device. Embraco, a portfolio brand of Nidec Global Appliance, has been creating high-quality and reliable refrigeration compressors for nearly 50 years. In fact, we’re proud to say that one out of five compressors across the globe carry the Embraco brand name. In addition to the U.S. MOTORS® brands, the HVAC Aftermarket business unit is now distributing these renowned refrigeration compressors in the U.S.
Embraco counts on a broad and efficient portfolio of fixed and variable speed compressors for household appliances, food service and food retail equipment, merchandisers and special applications. Since 1971 Embraco compressors have been used with traditional refrigerants, but in the last decades, the company has been a pioneer in the transition to natural refrigerants.
The historically reliable families of fixed speed compressors are approved for natural and transitory refrigerants utilization and their range of applications goes up to 1 ½ HP.
The compact and low noise EM family offers solutions for household appliances, beverage coolers, water and beverage dispensers, chest freezers and undercounter refrigerators. The EMC product line goes up to ½ HP, and is extremely favored among OEMs in the transition to natural refrigerants, due to its high efficiency and reliable performance.
