They provide a controlled release of a specially formulated, highly concentrated liquid additive into the oil supply, helping oil maintain its quality longer. www.luberfiner.com Diesel Exhaust Fluid Prestone now offers the Command line of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Command DEF is a liquid reducing agent that has been developed for use in all diesel engines equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. SCR is an emission-control technology that injects a precise amount of DEF into a diesel-powered vehicle���s exhaust stream, which in turn converts any nitrogen oxide present into harmless nitrogen and water vapor that is subsequently released safely into the atmosphere. Some estimate that DEF demand will reach 1.3 billion gallons annually in the United States by 2019. Prestone���s Command DEF is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic and nonflammable liquid solution consisting of 67.5% demineralized water and 32.5% high-quality automotive-grade urea. It meets all API and ISO 2224-1 manufacturing specifications. DEF will corrode certain metals, such as aluminum, copper and brass, so it must be used and stored with dispensing equipment and tanks that are made of stainless steel or high-density polypropylene. Prestone Command DEF is available in 1- and 2.5-gallon (3.78- and 9.45-liter) containers, as well as 55-gallon (208.2 liter) drums and 330-gallon (1,249.19 liter) totes. www.prestone.com Fluid Couplings Avoid Unexpected Downtimes of AFC Drives Jin Cheng Coal Group, one of the largest coal groups in China, found a way to avoid unexpected downtimes with armored face conveyors (AFCs) and to raise the productivity of the longwalls at the Chang Ping mine. In the past, the mine was facing a lot of problems because of its AFC drives equipped with two two-speed motors. The two-speed motors were replaced with Voith Fluid Couplings (type 562 DTPKWL2) to 50 www.coalage.com February 2013
