The Penray Cos. Inc. introduced a new line of heavy-duty coolant filters featuring synthetic media with triple-layer engineering. In addition to the synthetic media, many of these new filters incorporate Penray’s Need-Release technology, which introduces coolant additives and fortifiers on an as-needed basis, stabilizing the coolant for optimum effectiveness. Penray also offers synthetic media filters for use with Extended Life Coolants (ELCs).
The new Penray synthetic media coolant filters are designed to last up to 150,000 miles, 15 months or 3,000 operating hours. This new Penray coolant filter media is fully compatible with conventional coolants as well as new-generation Extended Life Coolants (ELCs). According to the company, they are available for all popular Class 6, 7 and 8 vehicles.
Key to the effectiveness and durability of these new heavy duty coolant filters is Penray’s cites its triple-layer, fiberglass-based filtering media as the reason for its exceptional filtration, even in extreme operating conditions. This design is built on a structural steel screen with an epoxy coating that provides a foundation which is wrapped in a non-woven sheet of polyester. All this is encased in Penray’s fiberglass filtration media. The triple-layer construction allows these new filters to achieve filtering efficiency and capacity for up to 150,000 miles.
Penray’s Need-Release filters include a membrane that senses deterioration in the coolant chemistry and responds by releasing one of its four charges of additives and fortifiers to restore coolant chemistry. Over time, as key components of the coolant are depleted, the Need-Release technology releases additional charges of supplements to again restore the coolant to viability. This process continues over extended periods of time until all four charges have been released.
Penray also offers mounting brackets, plates and hardware for retrofit, as well as threaded bushing adapters, which will allow fleet maintenance personnel to assure that all vehicles in the fleet use the same coolant filter.
“The introduction of these new synthetic media coolant filters assures superior filtration for the long service intervals that are becoming common in heavy duty fleet maintenance,” said Sarah Cooper, product manager for Penray.
