As the innovation leader in refrigerant recovery, Polar Technology makes it easy for contractors (and distributors) to safeguard the environment and meet the most rigorous safety and environmental regulations. Here’s how the program works: 1. You drop off used or filled cylinder(s) at the counter • No minimum weight required • No cylinder appearance required • No need for current certification date • No need to know refrigerant type • 30-, 50-, 125-lb cylinders (350 or 400 psi) accepted • Must be a reusable cylinder 2. You receive a beautifully reconditioned & recertified cylinder on the spot • Freshly painted – no stickers or writing and graffiti removed • Whole handles • Operative valves • Compliant sleeve with safety, health, and contact information Now that’s simple! Bring in those tired refrigerant cylinders and give us – and Polar Technology – a try! ¡ Looking for Danfoss scroll compressors?

State Street • Milwaukee, WI 53208 • Phone: 414-259-9070 • Fax: 414-259-0613 Page 3 New Product Highlight Danfoss Universal TR6 Kit for Air Conditioning Are you paying higher energy bills due to an older, less efficient central heat pump or air conditioner? Now there’s a simple, easily installed solution – Danfoss’s Universal TR6 thermostatic expansion valve. The TR6 valve uses the same technology found in newer, high- efficiency air conditioning systems which allows your customers to save energy regardless of their current system efficiency. According to DOE legislation, all new systems sold today must have a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency) rating of 13 or higher. If your customer’s unit is six years or older, it will likely have a SEER rating of 10 or less. The TR6 retrofit generally increases system efficiency by one SEER level – this could lower your customer’s utility bills by up to 15%. How does the TR6 do this? By automatically adjusting and accurately admitting the right amount of refrigerant into the evaporator. The system runs less frequently, which saves electricity, thereby decreasing equipment and component wear and tear. Universal TR6 features include: • Patented, internal check valve • Three connection options in every kit 3/8" x 3/8" ODF, Chatleff and Aeroquip • Adjustable superheat • Anti-hunt sensing bulb • Stainless steel power head and cap tube • R-22 and R410A versions Save your customers’ energy with an easy upgrade! The TR6 is available for your immediate consideration at Climatic Control Company. ¡ The “Dirt” on Dirty Coils Did you know that the energy consumption of equipment oper- ating with dirty coils can be as much as 37% more than equip- ment with clean coils? According to Nu-Calgon, a typical 10-ton air condition- ing system costs about $1650 to operate with clean coils for an average cooling season (1500 hours or six months). With dirty coils, that cost jumps to $2268 – that’s a $618 completely controllable difference. Dirty coils: ¡ Reduce cooling capacity – built-up dirt and grime on the coils restricts heat transfer causing the com- pressor to work harder. This additional heat raises the head pressure as much as 75%, which can result in a loss of up to 30% of the system’s cool- ing capacity. This costs money! ¡ Shorten equipment life – higher operating tem- peratures and pressures caused by dirty coils can lead to lubricant breakdown and acid formation that can seriously compromise the compressor. Com- pressor failure means NO COOLING! ¡ Affect air quality – a dirty evaporator coil is a breed- ing ground for bacteria and mold. This impacts indoor air quality! Nu-Calgon’s Clean Coil Program offers a 4-Step solution for cleaning and protecting your coils: 1. Clean indoor and outdoor coils using appropriate cleaner. 2. Protect the coils with Cal- Shield® with Teflon®. 3. Kill bacteria with EPA-reg- istered Bio-Fresh®. 4. Prevent biological growth and slime with EPA-regis- tered PanPads. So kick the dirt from those coils – avoid costly equipment breakdowns, save significant energy, and enhance occupant comfort and safety. We have Nu-Calgon products in stock now. ¡ The stratospheric ozone layer shields the Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. An "ozone hole" discovered over the South Pole was the catalyst for a global response. It was determined that emissions of certain synthetic chemicals – includ- ing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds, halons, and hydro chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) compound – contain ozone-depleting chlorine, which destroys the ozone layer. In 1990, the United States committed to a collaborative, international effort to regulate and phase out ozone-de- pleting substances through the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Acting in accordance with the Montreal Protocol international treaty, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Clean Air Act phased out of CFCs and halons in the mid-90s. This treaty has also mandated the eventual phase out of HCFC R-22. By 2010, the manufacturing of heating and cooling equipment using R-22 will be prohibited, and by 2020 the production of R-22 itself must cease. The R-22 phase out is being enforced via production and consumption rights – one right = one kilogram of R-22 supply. Since 1998, the EPA has been limiting the amount of available R-22 for refrigeration and air condi- tioning equipment by lowering the consumption rights over time. The next big date is on January 1, 2010, when production of new R-22 equipment (including im- port equipment) is banned except for continuing servicing needs of existing equipment. Interestingly, even though the most common non-ozone depleting compound alternative, R410A (there are oth- ers, too), has been available for awhile, the demand for R-22 equipment is still high. Some of the reasons why include: • 3% Unit sales growth per year over the past five years • Increases in minimum SEER ratings have increased refrigerant charge size by 30% on average • Slower than anticipated transition into 410A • Growing R-22 equipment installed base • Just how much R-22 the EPA's 2010 decision will allow for air conditioning and refrigeration applica- tions Due to the eventual phase out, U.S. companies are not investing in R-22 equipment production and the aging installed base is becoming more expensive to operate and maintain. PRICES FOR SERVICING THE EQUIP- MENT AND THE REFRIGERANT ITSELF ARE RISING FAST. Other important phase out dates; January 1, 2015 - ban on sale and use of all HCFCs except for certain uses, including continuing servicing needs of refrigeration equipment, and January 1, 2020 - ban on remaining production and import of R-22 (and HCFC-142b). After 2020, the servicing of systems with R-22 will rely on recycled or stockpiled quantities. Climatic Control Company will help you stay on top of the R-22 phase out. ¡ What You Need to Know About the HCFC R-22 Phase Out www.climaticcontrol.com Page 4 The Next Step Down in 2010 is Fast Approaching
