Flow Dry Technology Saves AC Systems With Accu-Weld^®

BROOKVILLE, OH (September 27, 2006) -- Flow Dry Technology, Inc., a leading manufacturer of desiccant packages for automotive air conditioning systems. The company's patented technology under the trademark, Accu-Weld^®, is now becoming the standard in the industry for heat welded polyester felt and other materials.

Flow Dry uses their new Accu-Weld technology to create a strong, but flexible seam in polyester felt desiccant bags used in automotive AC systems throughout the world. The Accu-Weld seam is achieved using specific heat patterns during the welding process. Using this method, Flow Dry retains the integrity of the original polyester felt specifications for tensile strength, permeability and filtration. In addition, the strength of the seam on all parts of the desiccant bag is maximized, allowing the company to exceed the seam integrity of all competitive products and approach the inherent strength of the material itself.

The pliable nature of the Accu-Weld seam allows it to be used in difficult-to-fit areas of the system. Other producers of similar bags create a rigid, brittle plastic seam that is subject to breakage after it is placed into the accumulator or condenser dryer. When a brittle seam breaks, it can allow desiccant to escape, circulate into the system and destroy the compressor or other components. Accu-Weld desiccant bags made by Flow Dry have now been used in vehicles for some time, and a history of seam integrity is well established. Customers throughout the world have widely accepted the technology and ask for Accu-Weld seams.

Flow Dry Technology is a leading component manufacturer with operations headquartered in the Dayton, Ohio area. They manufacture desiccant bags, cartridges and assemblies for a variety of markets worldwide. The company has been certified to TS16949 and ISO9000, and supplies major manufacturers in the automotive, HVAC, medical and electrical industries.
