PRODUCTS NEW Hydrocarbon dosing system Parker Hannifin's Fluid Control Division designed its Aluminum wheel Accuride's Accu-Armor aluminum wheels from its Accuride Wheels business unit undergo a proprietary multistep post- production treatment process that texturizes, anodizes and seals the surface without changing or compromising the origi- nal form, fit or function, helping the wheels resist scratching and scuffing, filiform corrosion, high- and low-pH chemicals commonly used in truck washes and common chemicals used in de-icing road surfaces. The process also helps make the wheels more durable under extended exposure to heat and ultraviolet light while also impeding chalking or fading and making them easier to clean with less maintenance, leading to an attractive, distinctive appearance.

The system, which can be used in a variety of medium- to heavy-duty diesel engine applications, is designed to control the dosing of diesel fuel into the exhaust upstream of the diesel oxida- tion catalyst and allow efficient regeneration of the diesel particulate filter; it eliminates the need for injector cooling lines while offering atomization for improved fuel evapo- ration. The system helps reduce unwanted fuel choking at the nozzle by utilizing air purge sequencing, while its valve control manifold can be mounted away from high-tem- perature and high-vibration exhaust areas to help improve reliability.
