Climatic Control Company is offering a new refrigerant recovery program through
Polar Technology. 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! ¡

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 equip-
ment operating with dirty coils can be as much as 37%
more than equipment 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
cooling capacity.
This costs money!
¡ Shorten equipment life – higher operating tempera-
tures and pressures caused by dirty coils can lead to
lubricant breakdown and acid formation that can seri-
ously compromise the compressor. Compressor
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 break-
downs, 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 applications
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, and we do have 401A available.
