ST. LOUIS, September 28, 2007 – Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today announced the launch of the EKZ Filter Drier. This family extension of the premier series EK Filter Drier offers superior performance in systems designed for environmentally-friendly refrigerants like R-410A.

With 25 percent of air-conditioning equipment already transitioned to R-410A, it is of increasing importance that components are designed for this refrigerant. The EKZ’s capability for enhanced moisture removal, coupled with the EK family’s patented filtration system, protects systems from contaminants that reduce system life, reliability and efficiency. With this improvement, the EKZ provides better performance than ever with the new refrigerants and is the smart choice for use in new OEM systems.

“Enhancing moisture removal capacity for all HFC applications, particularly R-410A applications, is vital to the longevity and efficiency of today’s systems,” said Austin Childs, vice president of product engineering of Emerson Climate Technologies Flow Controls Division. “Moisture is the single most harmful form of contamination because it reacts with nearly all system components creating acids, harmful sludge, and solid debris that in turn harm the capability of today’s tuned-system designs. The enhanced EKZ Filter Drier provides this high level of protection.”

The EKZ Filter Drier traps moisture, neutralizing this threat to system components and extending the life of the system. This enhanced moisture-removal feature makes the EKZ Filter Drier the best available for R-410A and other HFC refrigerants.
