Today, diesel engine manufacturers, in an effort to reduce emissions and obtain maximum performance, require diesel fuel to be maintained at a relatively constant year-round temperature level. During the winter, diesel fuel must be heated to prevent gelling, while during the summer, it must be cooled since it is now used to maintain the safe operating temperature of engine electronics. Both applications require costly and complex controls.
The THERMAL MAX® SUMMER/WINTER HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM is a better, cost-effective solution to control the year-round temperature of diesel fuel. The system contains a remote mount heat exchanger that is connected by duct work to the vehicle's cab component. As diesel fuel is circulated internally through the heat exchanger, climate-controlled air produced by the vehicle's heating and A/C system from inside the cab component, is drawn and passed externally over it. During the winter, warm air from the heater is used to heat the fuel, while the climate-controlled air produced by the air-conditioning system is used to cool the fuel during the summer.
By maintaining fuel temperature at a preferred level, the THERMAL MAX® SUMMER/WINTER HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM will help control pressure, droplet size and density, thereby increasing performance while reducing exhaust emissions. The THERMAL MAX® SUMMER/WINTER HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM assembly is the only assembly that will allow OEM's the opportunity to use one single system to heat or cool diesel fuel at a substantially lower cost than other multiple systems. In addition, it is the only patented system that provides superior cooling during the summer since it uses the climate-controlled air produced by the A/C system, and is not dependent on ambient air.
