SAN FRANCISCO, CA — EM Enterprises LLC, an innovator in men’s accessories and original consumer products, has announced the availability of the patent-pending Collar Card.

Developed by a traveling businessman tired of always forgetting collar stays when on the road, the Collar Card is a credit card sized device containing four pop-out collar stays that fit into a wallet ’s credit card slot.

Designed to fit the majority of dress shirt collars, the individual stays have a neutral-color back to not show through the shirt. After use, the collar stays fit back into the Collar Card and store neatly for future use.

For companies or organizations looking for a promotional product that will be held onto, private-branded Collar Cards are available by special order.

EM Enterprises was founded by two young entrepreneurs to create products that are innovative, practical, and of value to the consumer.

WINDSOR, CT — The Enviro-Pak, manufactured by Turbotec Products, Inc., is a compact heat exchanger designed to be used with light commercial air conditioning systems in the 1.5 to 5 ton range to capture waste heat and make hot water.

The compact and efficient heat recovery system uses excess refrigerant energy to reduce water heating equipment load and provide domestic hot water. Since the system can be connected to the central air-conditioning system, Enviro-Pak is ideally suited for laundromats and drycleaners, particularly in southern climates, and allows these businesses to reduce their “carbon footprint.”

The Enviro-Pak system is compatible with all commonly used refrigerants including R-22 and the new ozone friendly HFC-R410a air-conditioning refrigerants, making it environmentally friendly. When connected to a central air conditioning system, the payback can be as short as one year depending on the specific geographic location of the business.

The Enviro-Pak is quiet, comes with either a white powder coat or stainless steel jacket, and features indicator lights for operational safety diagnostics. An optional isolation valve kit is available for water and refrigerant connections. The unit can be easily installed by a licensed HVAC contractor and comes with a five-year limited warranty.

Turbotec manufactures a range of high performance heat exchangers and flexible connector products for space conditioning or refrigeration applications in the automotive, biomedical, plumbing, water heating or aerospace markets.
