Embraco, a global provider of solutions for the entire domestic and commercial cold chain, and part of the Nidec Global Appliance portfolio, announces the launch of the new NEX compressor platform, the fourth generation after the NE, NEK and NEU families.

"It is a solution for the catering market in applications such as refrigerated display cases, ice makers, beverage coolers and blast chillers, which highlights the characteristics of robustness and reliability, recognized qualities of the Embraco brand" explains Gilmar Pirovano, Business Senior Manager of Nidec Global Appliance, responsible for Embraco's commercial product portfolio in the EMEA region .

One of the main advantages of the NEX over previous platforms is the increase in the maximum displacement of the platform from 18.7cc to 21cc, offering a maximum cooling capacity of 1620W in MBP conditions. With this cooling capacity it can replace the NT platform in some applications, being more compact than 25mm. It also allows a 10% increase in energy efficiency in LBP conditions, all combined with lower noise. The reduction in energy consumption can be up to 15%.

"With this solution we aim to meet the demand of commercial refrigeration manufacturers to offer energy savings, sustainability and regulatory compliance. In addition, the lower noise level adds a more comfortable shopping experience to the list of advantages, which becomes very important from the point of view of the end user.” says Pirovano.

NEX is manufactured in the Nidec Global Appliance manufacturing site in Slovakia. The innovative features of the compressor gave it, in October 2020, an innovation award awarded by the Slovak Agency for Innovation and Energy (SIEA), an organization established by the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic.
