Case Study: John F. Kennedy International Airport achieves 15 years of uninterrupted HVAC filtration with Eaton strainers

Baggage-Free Eaton Strainers® Make Perfect Landing at JFK

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) required a rugged, maintenance-free water filtration solution for the HVAC system in its central terminal area. The system needed to operate 24/7 to filter 25,000 gallons per minute, ensuring uninterrupted climate control for the busy airport without needing manual maintenance due to space constraints. Eaton provided the solution with its Model 2596 automatic, self-cleaning strainers.

The Eaton solution provided fifteen years of completely uninterrupted, maintenance-free service for the airport's critical HVAC operations. This robust performance directly contributed to passenger and employee comfort by ensuring no loss of heating or cooling, a key achievement for one of the world's busiest airports. Eaton's strainers successfully handled the full water load without any required attention, proving their durability and reliability.
