New Leak Detector for Heavy Duty Market from Redline Detection
Redline Detection, a leader in OEM-approved automotive diagnostic leak detection equipment, has unveiled the HD PowerSmoke for heavy duty trucks, buses, commercial, industrial and agricultural applications.
Developed in collaboration with a major American heavy duty OEM, HD PowerSmoke replicates a high-pressure boost load so the entire system can be tested for faults with the engine safely off.
According to the company, “It is the only diagnostic machine in the heavy duty market that can, in a single 10-minute procedure, reliably detect any high-pressure leak, pinpoint its exact location and precisely identify failing components, saving heavy duty truck operators and fleets valuable time and keeping trucks on the road.”
Noted Zack Parker, president of Redline Detection, “Take DPF issues for example. Up until now, DPF faults such as excessive regeneration events or plugged DPF filter could be treated by refilling the Diesel Emission Fluid or servicing/replacing the DPF but the truck would just return with the same issues.HD PowerSmoke solves the root of the problem by identifying boost leaks quickly to facilitate a ‘fix it the first time’ maintenance practice.”
Recently mandated by a major American OEM as an essential tool, HD PowerSmoke tests the whole intake and exhaust system, from the airbox to the exhaust tip, in one simple test that takes under 10 minutes.
This easy, single-test procedure will identify and eliminate virtually all of the non-fuel related DPF problems on all heavy duty vehicles, avoiding further time and money spent to get trucks back on the road without delay.
Leaks forward of the DPF can trip diagnostic trouble lights caused by excessive regeneration events or a plugged diesel particulate filter, according to Parker.
