Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Cummins Filtration for Strong Contributions to Aerosol Filtration Technology 24 JUN 08 -- Based on its recent analysis of the aerosol filtration market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cummins Filtration with the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation of the Year for developing high performance air filtration and crankcase ventilation systems that protect engines and significantly reduce total engine emissions. These systems provide superior protection in applications such as heavy duty trucks, agriculture, construction and mining equipment, and a variety of industrial products such as portable power generators, small engines and vehicle cabin filtration systems. Cummins Filtration has demonstrated excellence in product development and innovation, which is also reflected in terms of the range of its intellectual property portfolio 525 global patents, of which nearly 80 percent relate to filters or filtration technology alone With over 50 years experience in air filtration technology, Cummins Filtration has the most extensive product coverage in the industry, including a variety of filtration systems, coolants, fuel additives and exhaust systems. Its Fleetguard air filtration products are highly efficient (up to 99.7 percent) and help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) meet customer demands for engine performance. Fleetguard products are recognized as robust and durable, allowing longer service life and providing greater uptime than competitive products in the market. Through both its products and services portfolio, Cummins Filtration provides a total value package to meet clients requirements for extended uptime, increased operator comfort, lower operating cost, and reduced environmental impact. Cummins Filtration has demonstrated excellence in product development and innovation, which is also reflected in terms of the range of its intellectual property portfolio 525 global patents, of which nearly 80 percent relate to filters or filtration technology alone, says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Krzysztof Grzybowski. This design expertise provides Cummins Filtration a solid foundation to embark upon its product development efforts. 2
One prominent innovation is the Fleetguard OptiAir filtration system, which is a complete line of seven air cleaner sizes, covering air flow requirements up to 1100 CFM. This modular system offers up to 50 percent greater particulate capacity in a rugged composite housing. Higher flow and lower restriction means that the filter can do the work of conventional filters in a smaller overall package size. Fleetguard crankcase ventilation filtration systems offer diesel engine OEMs the ability to decrease the amount of emitted particles including oil droplets and aerosolized crankcase blow-by a requirement necessitated by increasingly stringent regulations. The system offers two technologies service free, life of the engine impactors, and highly efficient coalescers featuring multilayer media. Crankcase gases from heavy duty engines can contribute up to 120 percent of the total allowable particulate matter emissions, and the global trend over the last five years has been to completely eliminate oil drip with advanced open crankcase ventilation (OCV) breather solutions or in closed crankcase ventilation (CCV), notes Grzybowski. Cummins Filtration has applied the Impactor and Coalescer technologies to over 60 percent of the EPA 2007 engines produced. In summary, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cummins Filtration s significant contributions in aerosol filtration product development and innovation by bestowing upon it the prestigious Award for Product Innovation of the Year. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has carried out new research, which has resulted in innovation(s) that have or are expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture. The Award recognizes the quality and depth of a company s research and development program as well as the vision and risk-taking that enabled it to undertake such an endeavor.

TECHNICAL FLASH The Color of Antifreeze Until recently, the color of the most commonly used antifreezes for both light duty and heavyduty engine cooling systems was predominately green. Its change interval is normally about every two years or 30,000 miles (50,000 km) of use. Then, long life (LLC) / extended life (ELC) coolant / antifreeze was introduced in an effort to reduce maintenance costs, downtime and environmental disposal costs and issues. With the introduction of this totally new concept, antifreeze manufacturers wanted to differentiate this new product from existing antifreezes. To accomplish this, they introduced different colored dyes for their LLC / ELC products. Orange and red dyes were used first; now it appears there may be virtually no limit to the different dye colors that may be used. The purpose of this bulletin is to describe the dye colors currently available, the chemical technologies being used and which vehicle manufacturers are using which technology based on the information that is readily available at the time this bulletin was published. The member companies of the FMC are confident this issue is not static and new technologies and dye colors will continue to be introduced in the future. Antifreeze is used in cooling systems to both lower the freeze point of water and raise its boiling point. It is also used as a carrier for different types of additives such as sodium silicate to protect aluminum from corrosion, antifoaming agents and other corrosion inhibitors. Although straight antifreeze actually freezes and boils quicker than tap water, when mixed with water in the proper proportions (a 50% / 50% mix is ideal) in a cooling system, it greatly increases the cooling system's ability to perform its designed function of removing heat from critical engine parts and to enhance the service life of the various cooling system components. Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT) is the chemical composition for the traditional antifreezes that are green in color. An IAT can be used with either ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol (PG). The normal IAT service life is two years or 30,000 miles (50,000 km). Organic Acid Technology (OAT) was the first LLC / ELC introduced in North America in 1994. OAT antifreeze had been widely used in Europe before its introduction in North America. OAT can be either EG or PG but is mostly EG based. Its 4
TECHNICAL FLASH (cont d) first dye colors were orange and red. These dye colors are still used by General Motors and Caterpillar. Green, pink and blue have been added to the list of available OAT antifreezes. It is recommended that OAT not be mixed with any other antifreeze technology. The normal OAT antifreeze service life is 5 years or 150,000 miles (250,000 km). Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) is a combination of IAT and OAT with nitrites added. This makes HOAT suitable for use in both light duty and heavy duty systems. Currently, two manufacturers are using HOAT for their vehicles. Daimler/Chrysler's version is dyed orange and contains 10% recycled antifreeze. Ford Motor Company s version is dyed yellow and does not contain any recycled antifreeze. Both of these HOAT antifreezes use the marketing designator of GO-5. They are compatible with each other but mixing them with IAT or OAT is not recommended. The normal HOAT antifreeze service life is 5 years or 150,000 miles (250,000 km). Nitrated Organic Acid Technology (NOAT) is an OAT with nitrates added. This makes NOAT also suitable for use in both light duty and heavy duty systems. NOAT and HOAT are very similar in performance characteristics. Currently, no OEM vehicle manufacturer is using NOAT. The normal NOAT service life is 5 years or 150,000 miles (250,000 km). convert an IAT to an LLC/ELC antifreeze. Mixing IAT with OAT, HOAT or NOAT antifreezes will not damage your vehicle s cooling system; however the mixture will negate the long life/ extended life attributes of these formulations. Mixing... antifreezes will not damage your vehicle's cooling system; however...will negate...life attributes of these fomulations. In conclusion, there are currently two oranges, two reds, green, dark green, yellow, blue, bluegreen, clear and pink dye colors available. With this variety of dye colors and more to come, the service technician s ability to properly service and maintain light duty and heavy duty cooling systems properly will be greatly challenged. It is imperative the technician be fully aware of what the vehicle manufacturers' requirements for antifreeze are and those recommendations be carefully followed. For further information regarding cooling system maintenance, refer to TSB's 88-1R, 89-1R, 97-2 and 02-1. Since antifreeze is clear when it is manufactured, and water is clear, dye is used to color the antifreeze for identification and marketing purposes. The color of antifreeze is no longer an accurate indicator as to whether it is an IAT, OAT, HOAT or NOAT formulation. Further, some antifreeze manufacturers market a universal antifreeze they say is compatible with all OAT, HOAT and NOAT formulations. These "universal" formulas are not for use with IAT and they will not 5
