Introducing For over 50 years, CRP has been a leading source of OE-quality replacement parts in North America. Now, the respected NAFTA importer of ContiTech belts and Pentosin technical fluids is proud to announce the introduction of a third core brand: Rein Automotive. Rein Automotive is the new umbrella name covering a wide range of automotive parts that CRP has already been successfully supplying to customers. From motor mounts to hoses and just about everything in-between, the Rein Automotive brand stands for quality. In addition, CRP will be adding new items to the Rein Automotive catalog as we find parts which pass our stringent quality standards.

REIN AUTOMOTIVE CABIN AIR FILTERS Cabin air filters trap dust, pollen, bacteria and exhaust fumes that enter a vehicle through the HVAC system. Three types of cabin air filters are used in US and Canadian vehicles today. Particle filters trap dust, pollen, and diesel soot. Charcoal filters trap odors such as skunk spray, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Combination particle and charcoal filters trap all pollutants that particle and charcoal filters trap individually. Attributes of Rein Automotive Filters All OE-quality Rein Automotive Filters are tested to maintain a filter rate, or percentage of pollutants captured, that is as high as the original equipment filter. All OE-quality Rein Automotive Filters are tested to maintain an airflow level that is the same or higher than the original equipment filter. All OE-quality Rein Automotive Particle and Combination Filters have an electrostatic charge that attracts and traps microscopic particles that otherwise would be able to pass through the fibers of the filter. Additionally, Rein Automotive Combination Filters contain at least 350g/m of activated carbon, which traps odors and converts ozone to oxygen. Pitfalls of some inexpensive, low quality aftermarket filters Some differences you may notice when comparing a Rein Automotive OE-quality filter and some other aftermarket filters are: Many aftermarket filter materials are not properly tested for filtering rate and airflow resistance which can lead to poor filter performance, or poor HVAC performance. Many aftermarket filters do not have an electrostatic charge to filter microscopic particles which can lead to more particles such as pollen or soot entering the cabin. Rein Automotive Filters are stringently tested, unlike many of the aftermarket filters. 2
REIN AUTOMOTIVE Condensers OE Sample of Acc0040p Designed to fit and function to the highest HVAC performance requirements for today s vehicles. This Parallel Flow Type Condenser is the new standard for condensers. With this parallel flow design, heat is dissipated much more efficiently. The AC system cools much better at lower pressures, with less of a demand on the compressor. Rein Automotive Sample acc0040r Designed to fit and function as well as the OE unit at a fraction of the price. Before any Rein Automotive Condenser is approved for delivery, it is inspected to make sure it matches the OE version in fit, form, and function. Competitor s Sample Designed to fit as well as the OE unit. While these aftermarket condensers may fit as well as the OE unit did, the old type tube and fin cooling design does not transfer enough heat to keep up with the demands of newer AC systems. This less expensive alternative could end up costing you more. Here s why: Poor HVAC system performance Condenser failure because the part cannot meet the new HVAC system requirements An unhappy customer translates to rework for your shop and fewer customer referrals 3
REIN AUTOMOTIVE Evaporators and Evaporator Kits Rein Automotive Evaporators and Evaporator Kits offer a cost-effective solution to evaporator replacements. All Rein Automotive Evaporators are: Designed according to OE specifications, ensuring fit and function are identical to the original evaporator. Pressure tested after manufacturing to ensure proper function. All Rein Automotive Evaporator Kits are: Fitted with expansion valves only from OES suppliers. Designed and tested in the same manner as OE evaporators. Delivered by the factory with the correct expansion valve, pre-mounted and pressure tested to ensure a oper installation (see below). FE Evaporator Necessary Hardware Necessary O-Rings OE Expansion Valve *All Evaporator Kits come Pre-assembled and Pressure Tested* 4
REIN AUTOMOTIVE Receiver/driers All Rein Automotive Receiver/Driers are designed according to OE specifications ensuring fit, form, and function are identical to the original equipment receiver/drier. What makes Rein Automotive Receiver/Driers identical to OE receiver/driers? If the OES manufacturer fits a high pressure safety valve, the equivalent Rein Automotive Receiver/ Driers will also be fitted with the valve. If the OES manufacturer fits a sight glass, the equivalent Rein Automotive Receiver/Driers will also be fitted with a sight glass. All Rein Automotive Receiver/Driers are pressure tested after manufacturing to ensure high quality. Pictured below is a Rein Automotive Receiver/Drier and a competitor s receiver/drier. The Rein Automotive version has the high pressure relief valve where the competitor s does not. If pressure gets too high in the system, the Rein Automotive valve would release the pressure. The competitor s receiver/drier, without the valve, would not be able to reduce the pressure build-up potentially resulting in costly damage to the AC system.
