Specific Systems Develops AirPak Stock Program

TULSA, Oklahoma—February 9, 2010—Tulsa based Specific Systems announced today the development of a stock program for its popular AirPak line of industrial environmental control units. The new program creates a stock of pre-configured AirPak units in capacities from 7.5 through 20 tons that can be ordered and shipped very quickly. A spokesperson from the company stated, “This stock program allows us to provide a much shorter lead time, often within 7 business days, on the most popular configurations of these units.

The stock AirPak units are constructed using 16-gauge galvanized steel with a white TGIC-based polyester powder coated finish, Specific Systems standard redundant dual refrigeration circuits, R-410A refrigerant, freezestat, and crankcase heaters. Units will be pre-wired for 460V 3-phase power with no heat. Customers wishing to order from the stock program can specify other power configurations and add an electric heat option with only a minimal addition to the lead time, generally no longer than seven extra days.

Specific Systems envisions this program offering a new level of service for its customers and fostering continued growth at the company.

Specific Systems Unveils Product Redesigns, New Catalogs

TULSA, Oklahoma—January 6, 2010—Tulsa based Specific Systems announced today the release of several updated product designs as well as a new set of catalogs. The product redesigns include the popular one to three ton capacity InPac 60 series window units. Commonly used to cool analyzer houses and other Class I, Division 1 areas, the InPac 60 series incorporates updated fan technology and standard R-410A refrigerant for a more efficient system. Along with the base unit, the available purge/pressurization and chemical filtration modules were redesigned for easier maintenance and extra configuration options.

Specific Systems units have always been known for their excellent performance under adverse conditions, and until recently, efficiency was outweighed by the need for safety and performance. Specific Systems saw the need for the combination of effective cooling and efficiency, and tweaked their industry leading designs. Each unit received individual attention with additional goals of increasing serviceability, airflow, and customization without an increase in labor costs. Meeting these goals allows Specific Systems to provide a superior product to customers.

Coinciding with these redesigns, the new catalogs showcase the InPac and AirPak product lines, as well as the numerous available options. With a new layout featuring updated information, the catalogs give prospective customers a comprehensive overview of the product line, and provide customers with all data needed to make a well-informed decision in the selection of Specific Systems products. The catalogs are available for PDF download from their web site at www.specificsystems.com/catalogs/ or a physical copy can be mailed upon request.

R-22 Obsolecence

Emerson Climate Technologies released a bulletin today including their R-22 phaseout compliance plans. Included in these plans is a note that single phase R-22 compressors must be ordered prior to October 5, 2009, and any three phase R-22 compressors must be ordered prior to October 26, 2009.

The compressors included in this phaseout are the compressors Specific Systems has used for R-22 circuits. However, because Specific Systems began its phaseout of R-22 well in advance of the mandated ban, we should not be affected by this timeline. Any existing stock of R-22 can still be used for service and repair purposes.

All new orders placed with Specific Systems will use an alternate refrigerant, generally R-410A, though other refrigerants such as R-407C are also available for certain applications. Emerson Climate Technologies bulletin also indicated that R-407C variations of these compressors will be phased out by September 30, 2011. Specific Systems will work with Emerson Climate Technologies to ensure a swift transition to newer and more efficient compressors for our units as that phaseout draws near.

Specific Systems is committed to progression of the industry and compliance with all applicable regulations. If you have any questions regarding Specific Systems or the changeover to non-ozone-depleting HFC refrigerants, please contact us.
