Maintenance Matters 48 // OWNER OPERATOR // NOVEMBER 2014 P arker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, introduces the NSL Series of two-inch flow size stainless steel couplings that are non- spill and high-flow. The Parker NSL Series provides an easy-to-use, secure connection to transfer, fill, and dispense Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and other chemicals from point of manufacture to bulk, point-of-use storage. DEF – a non- hazardous mixture of urea and deionized water – is used with the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system on diesel vehicles to reduce the emission of polluting nitrogen oxides (NOx). Because Parker's NSL Series couplings are designed specifically to handle non-hazardous DEF, a key advantage over competitive products is cost. The couplings also offer a number of other benefits, including: a two-inch male / female coupling set that delivers a high flow rate of up to 100 gallons per minute, with excellent flow versus pressure drop characteristics to maintain optimum system integrity; port configurations to accommodate standard tank and hose fittings; non-spill valving with near-zero spillage and air inclusion; an easy-to-use, familiar quick connect operation; and a stainless steel construction that offers chemical compatibility and enhanced durability. Parker's NSL Series is designed for use by manufacturers of DEF pumping and storage systems; DEF manufacturers; and personnel responsible for maintenance and refueling of diesel vehicles, particularly as it concerns DEF and the SCR system. SCR technology has been selected by the majority of new truck manufacturers as the technology of choice to meet the U.S. EPA 2007 / 2010 on-highway regulation limiting NOx emissions. Dosed into the Parker's NSL Series Non-Spill, High-Flow Quick Couplings Offer Contamination-Free Transfer, Fill, and Dispensing of DEF and Other Chemicals
