Ultimate Performance,
Ultimate Protection
Modern fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft components run at higher temperatures and use new fuels and
lubricants that require more advanced liquid filtration technologies. Specifically, modern aviation systems
require pristine fuel and lubrication so that system pumps and injectors can operate effectively, achieve
better combustion, and lower emissions. Donaldson liquid filtration systems protect fluid circuits—such
as hydraulic, coolant, fuel, lube/oil and transmission fluid components—from destructive contaminants.
