Paccar Parts Offers CARB-approved Aftermarket DPF
Paccar Parts describes the Engine Control Systems Purifilter as an aftermarket passively regenerating diesel particulate filter approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for installation and use in a wide variety of Class 8 truck models. Paccar Parts distributes the device exclusively through Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers in the United States and Canada.
Engine Control Systems said the Purifilter – which features a silicon carbide filter to facilitate exceptional regeneration, performance and durability – is approved for use with a wide variety of model year 1993-2006 heavy-duty trucks in a number of on-highway applications, regardless of manufacturer. The Purifilter also has received conditional verification from CARB for use with certain 1996-2008 off-road diesel engines that are rated at least 50 hp, but no more than 750 hp; the verification covers engines certified for off-road use on equipment such as trucks, loaders, dozers and skidders.
Each Purifilter model is available in five different inlet/outlet configurations with either standard stamped flanges or optional machined flanges. The 100 percent stainless-steel modular design allows for 360-degree rotation of the muffler inlet and outlet sections to provide the greatest range of fit. The dimensions of a Purifilter vary depending on application; the smallest filter weighs about 75 pounds and is 10 inches in diameter (11 5⁄8-inch diameter at the mating flanges) and measures 38 inches in length (including inlet and outlet tubes). The largest filter weighs about 125 pounds and is 13 inches in diameter (15 inches at the mating flanges) and measures 43 inches in length.
Parker Chelsea Reduces Installation Time
Parker Chelsea announced it is now offering a PTO and dump pump (the 277 Series PTO and Commercial G102 Series Dump Pump) system that makes installation easier and quicker with Allison 3000 and 4000 series transmissions.
According to the announcement, “through the combined efforts of Chelsea and Commercial we are able to offer a PTO and dump pump
system that gives you clearance underneath the truck when using an Allison automatic transmission. The combination of a higher speed PTO and smaller displacement pump provide you with clearance and a cost effective system to overcome your installation problems.”
New Master Battery Disconnect Switch
Cole Hersee Company introduced its new 75920 Master Battery Disconnect Switch that cuts off all battery power from the vehicle electrical system. The company said the new switch is an effective emergency power cutoff device to protect vehicles from tampering, theft and battery drain.
Additionally, it provides service technicians with an extra level of safety, protecting them from hazards, and can be locked-out or tagged-out to satisfy OSHA requirements for energy isolation, according to Cole Hersee Company.
The 75920 Master Battery Disconnect Switch has a composite engineered polymer housing that the company said will not rust or corrode. The switch has been tested per SAE 1455 for road salt, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, and it is waterproof to IP67. It has a high amperage capacity of 300A at 12V DC, can be used in high-side or low-side applications, and fits the standard Master Disconnect Switch mounting pattern.
