Innovative Products of America, www.ipatools.com Fleetwood's air brake cooling system Fleetwood Resource Management's Air Brake Cooling System is engineered to resist brake fade caused by heat buildup within the braking system. The system is designed to maintain a lower operating temperature to help lessen wear on brake components and extend their life. It is comprised of an auxiliary com- pressed air system that operates indepen- dently of the unit's air brake system. It provides compressed air to each brake drum, where it is dispersed by a fi xed blade turbine diffuser. The diffuser creates a turbulent airfl ow designed to create a uniform cooling action to help maximize the cooling effect. The air also blows loose brake dust particles from the contact area, helping to enhance the drum brake system's braking capability. The system is activated by a valve that is linked mechanically to the brake pedal. For more information, email ray_fleet@hotmail.com. Peterson's larger compact lights Peterson's Dot XL single-diode LED clearance/marker/mid-turn lights are designed for improved visibility through built-up diesel soot, road grime and snow pack. The company used its proprietary LumenX lens technology to nearly double the visible surface area to 1 3/8 inches while still fi tting the ¾-inch mounting holes provided for most compact lights. Dot XL lights are lensed in red or amber and feature rubber grommets to help sim- plify mounting and a 9-16 VDC operating range. They are available with stripped wires or 0.180 bullet terminals; options include a hardwired two-wire design with 8-inch leads and a three-wire version for auxiliary brake or turn functions.
