2009 Product of the Year And Innovation Award for Cooling
The ApexxTM VSH is the world’s first high capacity variable speed commercial air conditioning compressor for R-410A, a high pressure refrigerant that has a much lower total carbon footprint than R-22 and is considered the best replacement. The manufacture of R-22 US Environmental Protection Agency has prohibited the manufacture of R-22 after January 2010, so there was much interest in the Apexx VSH compressors and the special drives they are paired with.
