Filters aim to significantly reduce waste levels
Parker Filtration has introduced a new range of 'green' filter products - the E-Series - which will significantly reduce waste levels and landfill use.
Dave Pearce, Marketing Manager of Parker's Racor Filter Division Europe, said: "We are delighted to sponsor Team ARAVI and wish them the best of luck in 2006".
"The high quality and outstanding reliability of Parker filters is exemplified by the gruelling demands of racing trucks, and we are proud to be associated with the sport".
Parker's Racor fuel filter/water separators and closed crankcase ventilation (CCV) filters are now fitted as standard by a number of leading truck manufacturers, where they have been chosen for their efficiency and reliability, and for their ability to reduce overall operating costs.
Parker Racor fuel filter water separators can, for example, help to eliminate the problems caused by contamination, in the form of dirt or water, especially in the latest generation of high performance engines, where fuel can be injected at anything up to 2000bar, with injector tolerances being measured in microns.
Similarly, Parker Racor CCV filters minimise the problems of pollution, meeting Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards, and keeping engine bays and air filters clear of oil by allowing engine blow-by gases emanating from the crankcase to be fed back into the air intake before the turbo charger.
Parker Racor CCV filters have patented upstream crankcase pressure regulation as opposed to less efficient turbo vacuum limiters used by other manufacturers.
Parker Racor also works closely with automotive OEMs in order to develop customised bespoke filtration solutions for engines in a wide range of applications where necessary. Request free introductory details about products from Parker Hannifin - Filter Division ...
