HOW THE BLACKROCK® APUs CONNECT TO YOUR TRUCK
BLACKROCK® APUs are self-contained auxiliary power unit systems. By requiring only minimal connections to the main engine’s system we protect your investment and your truck’s warranty. Installing BLACKROCK® APUs only require the following very minimal modifications:
  • The BLACKROCK® APU connects to your fuel tank via separate fuel pick up and return lines.
  • BLACKROCK® is connected to the truck’s main batteries for APU startup and charging the truck main battery packs
  • All BLACKROCK® APUs are built to operate independently and each APU has its own:
  • Self-contained coolant and A/C condenser system with the following features:
    • condenser is mounted inside of the APU, it is NOT mounted on the back wall of the sleeper cab as other units are;
    • radiator and dual electric radiator fans are contained within the APU for cooling in extreme heat;
    • BLACKROCK® APU does not share coolant with the truck’s main engine.
  • Separate exhaust system which is ducted to the rear of the truck, preventing exhaust from entering the sleeper cab
  • All hoses and A/C lines are preattached for ease and foolproof installation
  • All BLACKROCK® APUs come standard with quick disconnect and keyed electrical cables for ease of service and to prevent installation errors
