Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems has announced that the Meritor WABCO System Saver 1200 Plus air dryer will be standard on all Daimler Trucks North America truck models as of January 2010. Developed specifically for North American braking systems, the System Saver 1200 Plus is a high-capacity, spin-on air dryer that can be used in a range of vocational environments.
In addition to the standard spin-on cartridge, an interchangeable spin-on cartridge with coaslescing filtration is available for a higher level of air filtration to protect the vehicle's air supply system.
The System Saver 1200 Plus sets a standard for adsorption capacity, performance, service life, and replacement time. It integrates the air dryer, 1200 cc of desiccant, and purge volume and governor into a single, compact, lightweight design ideal for the space available in aerodynamic vehicles. Direct mounting of the governor to the dryer simplifies the air brake system plumbing, reducing the risk of air leakage.
It is also designed for low costs of operation during the life of the vehicle. The labor time to replace the spin-on cartridge is less than five minutes compared with up to 30 minutes for other dryers.

-
Replaceable spin-on cartridge
