- Design considerations for heat exchange systems in
off-highway equipment.
Heat exchangers and other cooling systems components used in off-highway equipment have a dual role. They must provide the cooling performance required for the individual application, as well as maintain a high degree of mechanical integrity, as they are routinely subjected to shocks and stresses as part of their routine ......
- Platinum on a Budget

- Pumping new life into mobile machines
HEADNOTE Advanced electro-hydraulics makes off-road equipment cleaner, safer, and more productive. IMAGE PHOTOGRAPH 1 Interfacing engine controls with other subsystems can lead to cleaner-running off-highway equipment. Clean air and oil hydraulics would seem to have little in common. But new emissions requirements for off-road equipment are, surprisingly, driving the need ......
