SAE J1321 FUEL
ECONOMY TESTING
Test
Objective: Quantification of technology impact fully
incorporating and controlling variables. Used for on road vehicles.
Characteristics: Incorporates and controls variables on a
vehicle; results in a +/-1% margin of error. Utilizes Society of
Automotive Engineers Type II Test Protocol.
Fortune 1000 Company – Eco-Edge assisted in validating
a 10.5% reduction in fuel consumption on a CAT C7 engine from use of
the Combustion Catalyst System. Company is outfitting diesel
vehicles in fleet with the Combustion Catalyst System for fuel
savings and emissions reduction.
Mixer & Aggregate Fleet – Eco-Edge assisted in
validating an 11.3% reduction in fuel consumption on a Cummins ISM
engine from use of the Combustion Catalyst System. Company has had
more than 220 vehicles, generators and off road equipment using the
Combustion Catalyst System for several years.
STATIONARY
TESTING
Test
Objective: Quantification of technology impact with
controlled variables. Used for on or off road vehicles/equipment.
Characteristics: Removes variables from impacting test;
results in a +/-3% margin of error. Tends to produce more
conservative results. Utilizes proprietary protocol and testing
equipment.
Dairy/Agriculture Fleet – Eco-Edge assisted in
validating an 8.0% reduction in fuel consumption on a John Deere 624
Front Loader from use of the Combustion Catalyst System. Company has
been using the Combustion Catalyst System for more than 2 years on
all diesel trucks and off road equipment.
Hauling & Aggregate Fleet – Eco-Edge assisted in
validating an 8.0% reduction in fuel consumption on a CAT 980G
Loader with a 3406 engine from use of the Combustion Catalyst
System, as well as a material reduction in exhaust temperature.
Company has been using the Combustion Catalyst System for several
years on its generators and off road equipment, and has added its on
road dirt hauling truck fleet.
OPERATIONS TESTING
Test
Objective: Validation, not quantification, of technology
impact in an operating setting with limited control on variables.
Used for on or off road vehicles/equipment.
Characteristics:
Little or no control on environment; tends
to have extremely high variability and requires substantial analysis
to evaluate impact of variables on results.
Scrap/Waste Hauling Fleet – Eco-Edge helped verify
that trucks traveling with consistent routes and loads were seeing
substantial savings, validating on road truck standard of
approximately 10% fuel savings generated by the Combustion Catalyst
System. Fleet has been using the Combustion Catalyst System for more
than 3 years.
Grocery Tractor Trailer Fleet – Eco-Edge conducted a
stationary test demonstrating a 13.9% reduction on a Detroit Diesel
60 Series engine using the Combustion Catalyst System. A 9 month
operating test across 15 vehicles verified in an uncontrolled
environment that the Combustion Catalyst System: 1) did produce
measurable fuel savings on a consistent basis; 2) caused no harm to
the vehicles; 3) reduced opacity by an average of 32%; and 4)
produced noticeably cleaner exhaust manifolds. Company is
implementing the Combustion Catalyst System fleet wide.
EMISSIONS TESTING
International Cement & Aggregate Company – Eco-Edge
installed Combustion Catalyst Systems on a CAT 3516 generator
operating a crusher. Independent emissions testing showed a
resulting 22% reduction in NOx, along with more than 40%
reductions in both VOCs and SOCs. Company has been able to
expand permitted operating hours at the site by approximately 25%
due to the NOx decrease, resulting in increased profitability, and
still reducing their overall environmental footprint.
OIL DRAIN INTERVALS
Mixer & Aggregate Fleet – Eco-Edge has assisted
company in evaluating HEPO bypass oil filtration using oil analysis.
Results show that their oil drain intervals have been extended
from 450 hours to 1,350 hours.
