LANCASTER, NY – April 25, 2022—The Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has been honored by the readers of Plant Engineering Magazine with two 2021 Product of the Year awards, as part of a program that been around for more than three decades. The magazine is a renowned key information source for the latest trends in manufacturing. Parker’s PoleStar Smart-E Cycling Compressed Air Refrigeration Dryers have been awarded bronze in the Actuators, Motors, Drives category, while NITROSource Compact Nitrogen Generators were awarded gold in the Mechanical category.

Parker’s PoleStar Smart-E (PSE) Series Cycling Refrigeration Dryers are designed to work with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant, R513A. This is a Hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant blend with a remarkably low GWP that offers up to a 65% reduction versus Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants widely used today. Also, it has no stratospheric ozone impact, and is non-toxic and non-flammable. PSE dryers comply with the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s SNAP Rules 20 & 21 and the European F-Gas Regulation (EU 517/2014). With features that include Parker’s SmartSave cycling technology, touch panel user interface, micro-channel condenser, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for remote monitoring, Parker’s PSE is an ideal solution for customers to protect theirinvestment and the environment.

Parker’s NITROSource Compact Series Nitrogen Gas Generators allow inert gas users the ability to produce nitrogen, with purities up to 99.999%, completely on-demand from a standard factory air compressor. Perfect for low to medium flow rate requirements, NITROSource Compact is designed to meet multiple industry compliances and third-party verified to comply with FDA Article 21 and European Food and Pharmaceutical Approval. NITROSource Compact is a safe and reliable alternative to delivered nitrogen gas, significantly reduces costs and eliminates the risk of downtime.

“We are proud and honored to have been recognized by Plant Engineering’s readers as ‘2021 Product of the Year’ award winners for our low global warming potential refrigeration dryers and compact nitrogen gas generators,” said Randy Peccia, product sales manager, Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division. “It reflects our focus on developing new and exciting solutions that deliver best-in-class performance, energy efficiency, sustainability, and differentiation when compared to the competition.”

PSE and NITROSource Compact were launched by Parker in April 2021 and are supported by Parker Sales and Service worldwide. To learn more about these award-winning products, please visit: https://discover.parker.com/we-won.
