Diesel Catalyst
US Patent Number 6129774
The diesel catalysts are designed for all diesel engine types. The catalyst canister sizes vary from nine (9) inches by three (3) inches for a heavy duty diesel bus engine to six (6) inches by three (3) inches for a light duty diesel pick up truck engine. The catalysts weigh from eight pounds to five (5) pounds respectively.
The diesel catalyst has had over 3200 tests conducted on it over a three and one half (3 ½ ) month period at a State of California owned emissions test facility owned jointly by California Air Resources Board (division of California EPA) and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). The test vehicle was, 1981 model MTA passenger bus equipped with a Detroit Diesel 6V92 engine fueled by diesel. All of those tests were conducted under the Code of Federal Regulations procedures as prescribed by the U.S. EPA. These tests are available for review.
That same laboratory conducted tests on a 1989 L10 Cummins engine for the American Society of Automotive Engineers fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) without a catalyst. When the SAE tests on CNG fuel were compared to our tests with diesel fuel on our catalyst equipped bus test we had over 90% less total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions and 50% less carbon monoxide (CO) emissions than did the so-called clean fueled CNG bus. In the tests conducted on our catalyst equipped MTA bus all of the harmful emissions were reduced greatly.
Fuel efficiency tests were conducted by the above laboratory on our catalyst equipped bus and the fuel efficiency increase was over 11%. A break-in period of 1500 miles is recommended diesel engines to achieve optimum operating efficiency. It is not uncommon for the emissions to be higher during the break-in period, due to the fact that the catalyst is cleansing the present carbon deposits in the engine and the catalyst will prevent further build up of carbon deposits. The catalyst will keep the fuel injectors from getting carbon build ups on them in the future.
