Abstract: A brake system includes a series of rotors for operatively coupling to a shaft and stators for operatively coupling to a frame. A service brake system includes a singular annular service piston extending continuously around the series of rotors and stators and a parking brake system includes a singular annular parking piston positioned to extend continuously around the series of rotors and stators. The service piston nests with the parking piston, under a spring bias, such that the parking piston and service piston continuously engage together around the series of rotors and stators to thereby create the parking brake forces. Springs act on the parking piston to drive the parking piston and nested service piston to engage for parking brake forces. Pressurization of the parking piston deactuates the nested pistons. Then separate pressurization of fluid acts on the service piston to overcome the spring bias and separate the service piston from the parking piston to create service brake forces.

Abstract: A gas to air heat exchanger includes corrosive resistant tubes made from or internally coated with one material, and high thermal conductivity air fins made from another material. This construction allows for meeting heat transfer requirements in a spatially constrained application, such as over the road trucks, where a mixture of recirculated exhaust gas and incoming air are compressed, then cooled, before being supplied to the engine intake. In one example, the heat exchanger includes tubes made from stainless steel brazed to relatively thin copper air fins in a low temperature brazing process, and the tubes are brazed on respective ends to heads of stainless steel via a high temperature brazing process. This core is then joined to an aluminum inlet tank and possible non-metallic outlet tank via a mechanical crimping process that positions a seal between the tanks and the respective heads.

Abstract: An air-to-air aftercooler may include a tube configured to direct a flow of charged air. The tube may include at least one first protrusion located on a first interior surface of the tube, and a first longitudinal plane may extend through the at least one first protrusion. The tube may also include at least one second protrusion located on a second interior surface of the tube, and a second longitudinal plane may extend through the at least one second protrusion. Furthermore, the first longitudinal plane and the second longitudinal plane may intersect.
