HTPG Announces price increase
November 5, 2021
Dear Valued Partner.
All of us at HTPG appreciate and thank you for your business partnership. We’ve all been living in unprecedented times for almost two years that have caused us to modify how we run our businesses and live our lives. This extended period has presented both opportunities and challenges for us, our customers and suppliers.
The pandemic continues to impact our supply chain, our industry and the overall economy. Freight, raw materials (steel, aluminum, copper, wood and plastics) and critical component costs (compressors, valves and motors) have continued to rise significantly. As a result, HTPG will be implementing a general list price adjustment of 11% on equipment, parts, options and warranties. The increase is on equipment, accessories, options, warranties and parts orders received on or after Dec. 6, 2021. Orders that are received prior to this date, for standard lead times, will not be affected.
We truly value your business and are here to serve you and assist you in servicing your customers. As your partner, we want to help your business thrive now and in the future. We look forward to a successful 2022 for all of us.
Sincerely,
Mark EvansGeneral ManagerHTPG, LLC

Slim-Temp ASLA/ASLE Unit Coolers Excellent New Refrigeration Product
August 3, 2021
Heat Transfer Products Group, LLC (HTPG), manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment sold under the recognized brands of Russell, Witt, Kramer and ColdZone, was recognized for excellence in product design in the 18h annual Dealer Design Awards Program sponsored by The Air Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration News magazine. An independent panel of contractors acted as judges in the contest that had 117 entries. HTPG’s Slim-Temp ASLA/ASLE Unit Cooler won the Bronze Award in the Refrigeration & Ice Machines category. Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards were featured in the July 26, 2021 issue of The ACHR News. To view the article, visit www.achrnews.com.
“We are greatly honored to receive a Bronze Award by The NEWS. The Slim-Temp ASLA/ASLE Unit Cooler marks our sixth consecutive year receiving a Dealer Design Award for product excellence. We are very proud of our engineering team for the innovations they continue to design into our new products for better efficiency, performance, and serviceability,” said Paul Westbrook, HTPG’s director of sales and marketing. “These awards give us an unique opportunity to recognize the outstanding research and development efforts that go into many of the products serving the HVACR industry and the awards issue gives our readers an opportunity to read about innovative installation and service solutions,” stated NEWS Publisher Mike Murphy.
Slim-Temp ASLA/ASLE Unit Coolers are versatile, low height, and compact products that are specifically designed for cooling small walk-in coolers and freezers, and display cases. The slim profile takes up less room and maximizes available shelf space. The units are frequently found in under counter cold displays in grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores, grab and go displays, plus small walk-in coolers and freezers. The models are compliant with California Title 24 regulations and the new DOE AWEF performance regulations which impact evaporators for Walk-in Coolers and Freezers in boxes less than 3,000 sq. ft.
The units feature energy-efficient Dual Speed EC motors. Fan motors are totally enclosed, permanently lubricated and thermally protected to increase motor life and decrease maintenance. For peace of mind, the motors are also IP67 rated, which means they are protected against dust, sand and water. The smaller diameter tubing reduces total refrigerant charge, and the nozzle type distributor allows use with multiple refrigerants.
For serviceability, electrical connection is at internal terminal blocks located at end opposite refrigerant connections. The improved electrical panel and wiring simplifies installation. The drain pan includes a 7/8” NPT drain fitting installed in the center-rear of the pan for efficient condensate draining, easy field connection, and cleaning. The 3/8” mounting slots aid in proper installation of the unit.
Slim-Temp ASLA/ASLE Unit Coolers are available in two- to six-fan models with air flow spanning from 950 to 2,850 CFM in air or electric defrost configurations for 115V and 208-230V in 60 Hz or 50 HZ operation. Capacities range from 4,600 to 17,300 BTUH. Air defrost models are designed for use in coolers and cases at +25°F. Electric defrost models are designed for use in coolers and freezers at -10°F. Models are UL/cUL certified for use with multiple refrigerants and NSF approved for use in food preparation areas.

Dear Valued Partner.
All of us at Heat Transfer Products Group appreciate and thank you for your business partnership. This past year and ½ has been unprecedented and has caused all of us to modify how we run our businesses and live our lives. This extended period is a unique and challenging time for our industry and the world and unfortunately the challenges continue.
The pandemic’s impact on our supply chain, our industry and the overall economy has not abated, both from an availability and price perspective. We continue to drive actions to meet demand and timelines to the best of our ability. Freight, both premium rates and overall availability, raw materials (steel, aluminum, copper, wood and plastics) and component costs have continued to rise significantly, many higher than we have seen in decades. As a result, HTPG will be implementing a general list price adjustment of up to 8% on equipment, warranties, and parts. The increase is on equipment, accessories and parts orders received on or after September 2, 2021. Orders that are received prior to this date, for standard lead times, will not be affected.
We are here to serve you and help you service your customers. As your partner, we want to help your business thrive now and in the future. We truly appreciate your business and look forward to continued success in 2021 for all of us.
