The Donaldson PJAC Ultra is a self-cleaning engine air intake system. The system uses controlled pulses of compressed air to automatically clean the intake filter. The PJAC Ultra reduces life-cycle costs for M915 users by significantly decreasing the need for replacement filters and simultaneously increasing vehicle performance and mission capability. Designed with Donaldson Ultra-Web® nanofiber filtration technology, the PJAC Ultra self cleaning air cleaner provides the highest level of efficiency – 99.997+% – and has a filter life of greater than 200 hours. The PJAC Ultra has been field tested and proven in harsh, high dust environments.
"PJAC Ultra eliminates the need for an operator to stop a critical mission to change the air filter. Before becoming clogged, the air cleaner automatically cleans itself. This allows operators to worry about more important, mission critical tasks," said Sheila Peyraud, General Manager, Aerospace and Defense at Donaldson Company. "Field testing has shown that PJAC Ultra technology reduces service intervals by more than 10 times compared to conventional air cleaners – dramatically reducing service requirements in harsh environments."
PJAC Ultra is scalable to meet customer space requirements. Donaldson technology is suitable for a variety of vehicles and applications, such as HMMWV, JLTV, tactical and armored combat vehicles and retrofit opportunities.
For more information on the Donaldson PJAC Ultra self-cleaning air cleaner, view the Brochure.
