The new Embraco residential refrigeration compressor, the Embraco Atom stands to be the most compact variable-speed compressor for residential applications on the market. Weighing just 2.5 kg and measuring less than 110 mm, it is 30% lighter than Embraco’s previously most compact compressor, the FMS. It was designed to be competitive enough to accelerate the migration from fixed-speed to variable-speed technology, being accessible to a wide range of refrigeration applications, from premium models to single-door refrigerators and beverage coolers.
“There is a growing global push for increased energy efficiency, driven by economic, social, and environmental motivations, and variable-speed technology plays a crucial role in this transformation, especially in refrigeration appliances. This technology enables compressors to adjust their speed based on demand, resulting in significant energy savings compared to traditional fixed-speed systems. The Atom was developed as a global platform to support the widespread adoption of variable-speed technology.
The product runs on natural refrigerant R600a, and has a coefficient of performance of up to 1.90W/W, an indicator of its energy efficiency that shows it is capable of meeting the most stringent energy consumption regulations of any region in the world. Its efficiency level allows the Atom to reduce energy consumption by more than 25% compared to a traditional fixed-speed compressor.
