CLEARING THE AIR Parker Racor introduces compact easy-to-service air cleaner for diesel and gasoline engines
The Parker Racor division of Parker Hannifin recently launched a new line of low-profile, high-capacity air cleaners. During the development process for the three-stage ECO-TL Series — the TL stands for Twist-Lock — the company said its priorities were to ensure an extended service life and ease of maintenance. “The ECO-TL is designed to make things simpler in a number of areas,” said Jon Wake, global product manager for Modesto, Calif.-based Parker Racor. “It’s in a smaller package with unique easy-servicing features.”
Filter removal is performed via a low-profile twist-locking mechanism with six points of engagement. It requires no external clips or latches, which significantly reduces the amount of clearance required to replace the filter, the company said. Designed for diesel and gasoline engines up to 175 hp, a variety of options are available when ordering an ECO-TL Series air cleaner, including five flow sizes and a straight or 90° outlet. A polished stainless-steel mounting bracket is included, which has been updated to accommodate different standard mounting bolt patterns . . .
