MINNEAPOLIS, MN June 17, 2008 Donaldson Company (NYSE:DCI), a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, introduces the Pulse Jet Air Cleaning (PJAC) Ultra self-cleaning air cleaner designed for maximum engine protection, minimized filter element servicing, improved fuel economy and vehicle engine power. This improved air cleaner is ideal for military vehicles and applications operating in demanding environmental conditions. 

The Donaldson PJAC is a patented, self-cleaning air filter that cleans filter elements with short duration pulses of compressed air. This two-stage air filtration technology ensures the best engine protection and a longer life cycle due to minimized filtration servicing with no scavenge required. Designed with Donaldson UltraWeb^® Nanofiber Filtration Technology, the PJAC Ultra air cleaner provides the highest level of efficiency – 99.997+%-and has a filter life of greater than 200 hours when tested per MIL-PRF-62048. Manufactured with a durable, corrodion-resistant coated metal housing, the new air cleaner is built with the Donaldson Vacuator Valve which automatically releases dust. This field tested, mature filtration technology is scalable to meet customer space requirements and requires no tools for servicing.

“The PJAC Ultra represents a breakthrough in air filtration technology,” said Gary Gillingham, director of engineering for Defense at Donaldson Company. “The PJAC Ultra eliminates the need for frequent filter servicing in harsh environments. Lab and field tests have demonstrated that filter service intervals are reduced by more than 10X compared to conventional air cleaners. With its Ultra Web nanofiber media the PJAC Ultra also provides a 10-100X improvement in engine protection.  Donaldson has been able to achieve these advantages in a product that can cost less than a conventional scavenged heavy duty filtration system.”

The Donaldson PJAC Ultra is a suitable filtration solution for a variety of vehicles and applications, such as HMMWV, JLTV, tactical and armored combat vehicles, retrofit opportunities and commercial vehicles.
