sent through the air dryer first to further protect the system.

The standard air dryer is the Bendix® AD-IS, mounted inside the left frame rail just behind the transmission. This integrated solution air dryer features fewer parts and lower weight compared to typical air charging systems.

While standard air dryers work well in most applications, they periodically interrupt the drying process to purge accumulated moisture. For high air-demand applications, such as bulk loaders, the International® ProStar ™ can be outfitted with the optional Bendix® AD-IS with EverFlow™ module. This upgrade contains all the features and benefits of the standard AD-IS system, with the addition of a second desiccant cartridge to provide an uninterrupted supply of clean, dry air.

Some additional benefits of both the standard AD-IS and the optional AD-IS with EverFlow™ are that the primary and secondary reservoirs, including the suspension and accessory components, are plumbed directly to these air dryer assemblies.

Some examples of these air accessories are the air horn, air slide fifth wheel, and the power divider lock. Both of these units have built-

in pressure protection valves to protect against pressure losses at the reservoirs and air accessories.

The International® ProStar ™ also features an array of optional diagnostic and monitoring systems for the air brakes and tires. These include:

• tire pressure monitoring

• brake monitoring

• air system diagnostics

Optional air system diagnostics track the overall performance of the air brake system. The information is then communicated to the Vehicle Sensor Module, or VSM, and the optional Vehicle Information Display. The VSM uses this diagnostic information to determine if warnings need to be displayed to alert the driver and service technician.

Air.System.Diagnostics

The main areas that diagnostics are performed are compressor performance and governor performance.

Compressor performance is monitored by comparing the actual time required by the air compressor to build up

operating pressure to a normal recovery time calculated at the factory. When poor compressor performance is detected, it is displayed on the Vehicle Information Display.

Governor performance is monitored by tracking the governor’s cut-in and cut-out pressures. This helps determine when the governor has degraded to the point that service is required. Poor performance is displayed on the Vehicle Information Display.

The optional E-Stroke Brake Chamber monitor uses Hall Effect sensors located inside each chamber to track the position of the slack adjusters. These sensors are monitored by the VSM. The system monitors proper operation, detects problems when they occur, and displays an in-cab warning on the Vehicle Information Display when the brake chamber stroke is out of adjustment.

Potential operating problems the system can detect include over-stroke, dragging, or a non-actuating condition at each of the wheel ends.

The optional brake lining wear monitor employs a wire loop sensor embedded in each brake lining. When the wire loop is worn through, a signal is sent to the VSM and a warning is displayed

on the Vehicle Information Display. The screen alerts the driver of the need for brake maintenance and its specific location.

This warning provides the driver sufficient time to schedule service since the worn lining has approximately 25% of its material remaining when the warning is first initiated.

The optional Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS, warns the driver of both sudden and slow air leaks. It also monitors the temperature of all tires.

This is accomplished with sensor/transmitters inside each wheel rim, one front and two rear antennas, and a TPMS controller relaying information to the Vehicle Information Display.

Each tire is monitored using the display. Warnings occur instantly when a tire shows signs of low pressure or leakage.

Cab.Suspension

Cab suspension on day cabs features a single cab air spring. This reduces leak points, and provides easy access for service. The day cab rear air ride suspension features a longer track bar to absorb lateral loads. New, outboard-mounted shocks are more stable and accessible, and further improve performance with more shock travel.

The two rear mounted sleeper cab struts are also outboard mounted for easy service access. Their modular design streamlines service and repairs.

HVAC

The International® ProStar ™ heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, or HVAC, system provides climate control for the driver environment.

The expansion valve type air conditioning system uses the Body Controller to engage the air conditioning clutch.

Inputs, such as system high side pressure, are used to protect the compressor, and evaporator temperatures are used to prevent evaporator freeze-up.

This system can sustain a 75°F (24°C) cab temperature in 110°F (4�°C) heat, or a 90°F (�2°C) cab temperature in –10°F (–2�°C) conditions.

The system is divided between the cab and engine compartment. On the cab side, the module contains the blower motor, mode door, temp door, door actuators, and heater core. The compressor, condenser, evaporator and remaining components are located on the engine side.

The cab module blower draws fresh outside air into the cab for ventilation and all A/C settings, except MAX A/C, where cab air is recirculated. Cab heater shut-off valves located on the engine can be operated by hand to block the flow of hot coolant to the heater. This can improve air conditioning efficiency during the warmer months.

The sleeper cab uses the primary HVAC system with an auxiliary interior module. This rear HVAC module is an air recirculation system for both heater and A/C functions and can maintain the same cab temperatures. The additional blower motor, temp door actuator motor, heater core, and A/C evaporator are located in the sleeper area under the lower bunk area.

“This system can sustain a 75°F cab temperature in 110°F heat, or a 90°F cab temperature in –10°F conditions.”

The blower motor runs at �0% of full power when the engine is not running. It is controlled by the driver or the occupant of the lower bunk. Optional controls from the upper bunk are also available.

Like the primary HVAC system, the auxiliary system is also an expansion valve system.

The auxiliary HVAC unit communicates with the Body Controller via the SAE J19�9 Body Builder datalink. All control communication is accomplished using this datalink. The auxiliary unit discharge temperature and auxiliary unit blower speed are controlled independently.

The instrument panel has two dedicated rocker multiplex switches for the rear HVAC system. One controls the sleeper blower setting, while the other controls the sleeper temperature setting.

These control settings are displayed to the operator in the gauge cluster in the form of a bar graph. The gauge cluster communicates with the Body Controller via the SAE J19�9 Powertrain datalink.

In the sleeper area on Trim Levels LH1 and LH2 there are two potentiometers with rotary knobs; one for blower

Trim Level LH2+ offers an LED sleeper control head. The control settings from the LED sleeper control head are displayed to the operator in both the control head and the gauge cluster display. Either of these options are incorporated into the sleeper control panel located in the sleeper back panel.

On a sky-rise vehicle these controls are available in the upper bunk area. The control of the auxiliary HVAC system is accomplished by a last touch system between the instrument panel and the sleeper control panel.

The International® ProStar ™ HVAC system monitors itself to ensure proper operating conditions, including refrigerant charge quantity.

An air temperature sensor is used to vary the temperature door position to react to changes in evaporator/heater core temperature, keeping the discharge temperature at a steady state. These blend air doors are electronically actuated.

In all modes except MAX A/C, the front HVAC module is operated on a 100% fresh air mode, while the rear auxiliary unit operates in recirculation mode
