Engine Dynamometer results
Mercedes Benz MB 220D ECE15+EUDC Test
The ChemEcol Technology was extensively evaluated under the light duty ECE 15 + EUDC engine test procedure by an OEM in a 1997 model year, 4 cylinder, 2.2 litre engine fitted with EGR and Oxidation Catalyst.
Average percentage reductions in emissions with the ChemEcol technology compared to the average of the base runs.
| Emissions | Reductions |
|---|---|
| Particulates | 9.5 |
| HC + NOX | 12.1 |
| CO | 35.7 |
| NOX | 6.8 |
| HC | 28.2 |
Ultra fine particle number emissions
An investigation using the single cylinder Proteus engine, a VW 1.9 TDi passenger car engine and a Perkins Phaser 135 Ti engine run on the transient FiGE cycle was established to examine the influence of additive technology towards reducing the total number of particles. From these programs the data confirms that the ChemEcol combustion enhancing technology significantly reduces the total number of particles emitted within the Pm2.5 range.
Potential health effects related to ultra-fine particles
The additive is effective in reducing both the larger particulates, PM10
and the very fine particulate emissions by ensuring more complete
combustion. Such reductions are important as these emissions may
be responsible for the increasing health problems associated with
diesel exhaust
Visible Smoke
Fleet trial results indicated a significant reduction in visible smoke. To substantiate these results regulated tests were conducted on a Citroen vehicle:
Citroen Xantia 1.9 litre TDC
This test conclusively demonstrated the smoke suppressing properties of the ChemEcol 'ashless' technology and provide verification for the fleet results.
