RIVERDALE, N.J., Feb. 22, 2012 /PR Newswire/ -- Camfil Farr, a world leader in air filters and clean air solutions, has been honored with the 2011 Product of the Year Award by Environmental Protection Magazine for its Hi-Flo ES.

Hi-Flo ES is a high-efficiency ASHRAE grade pocket filter that has been shown to deliver longest service life, while substantially reducing the energy used by HVAC systems. It is the technology of choice for the removal of fumes, smoke, bacteria, fungi and virus-bearing droplet nuclei, and is the only filter of its kind designed to work without a prefilter.

The Environmental Protection New Product of the Year Award honors the outstanding achievements of industry manufacturers whose products are considered particularly noteworthy. Winners were announced in Los Angeles during Westec, the annual manufacturing technology exposition serving the environmental industry.

There was one winner selected in each of 9 categories;  the Hi-Flo ES won in the category 'Air Quality and Climate.' 

The Hi-Flo ES has also earned five stars through the Energy Cost Index (ECI) program.   Based on a five-star scale, the ECI is an indicator of what a filter will cost over its service life.  Earning the top rating indicates that a filter is the most energy-efficient, longest-lasting filter available.
