| ST. LOUIS, March 7, 2016 — Vilter Manufacturing LLC, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and part of the Emerson Climate Technologies business segment, announced it is in the final stages of introducing its range of reciprocating compressors for CO2/ammonia cascade systems for food processing, dairy, produce and cold storage warehousing applications. Vilter will launch its new product in the coming months. The CO2 ammonia cascade system extends the capabilities of Emerson’s line of Copeland Scroll™ compressors to offer additional refrigeration applications. As EPA regulations continue to evolve, ammonia serves as an energy-efficient offering, using waste heat from a facility’s refrigeration system for other heat and air conditioning applications. Emerson is building on its investment in research and development by using the Helix Innovation Center to conduct product testing. “Leveraging the research and development capabilities of Emerson’s Helix Innovation Center, we developed and are in the final stages of testing a small CO2 cascade solution and building on that product line,” said Thomas Hoopes, director, business development, Vilter Manufacturing LLC. “Our team is using data from this testing environment with real operating conditions to make final tweaks backed by proven results before going to market.” Emerson’s new Helix Innovation Center is a nearly 40,000-square-foot facility located in Dayton, Ohio. The Helix became operational in December and is meant to act as a global hub for HVACR industry education. It is also intended to facilitate a collaborative approach to innovation in the development of future refrigeration technologies. This smaller CO2 ammonia cascade system will pave the way for the development of larger models used in industrial applications.
