Citing the need for HVAC/R manufacturers to change production from copper to aluminum condensers and evaporators, SECO/WARWICK S. A. is scheduled to open a new test facility in September 2009 to allow customers to run trials and prototype cores. Thus, SECO/WARWICK is offering introductory packages at reduced rates for HVAC/R customers for a limited time, beginning in September this year and extending through next year.

According to Piotr Skarbinski, Global Product Director, "Customers who have traditionally used copper materials are switching to aluminum in order to achieve the higher SEER efficiency ratings. We recognized the problems involved with making this transition having over 20 years of experience establishing the CAB (controlled atmosphere brazing) process for automotive heat exchangers. We are building this new test center to support our HVAC/R customers by allowing them to reduce their investment risk by providing equipment to run trials and prototype along with providing comprehensive information and training."
