Black Smoke is Soot from unburned diesel fuel |
Regen units can fail to burn off all the soot for a number of reasons leading to poor engine performance. For example, the vehicle might not run at operating conditions that produce sufficient exhaust temperatures to burn off the soot in accordance with the DPF design requirements. It is also possible that soot output from the engine exceeds the expected amount because of mechanical, fuel or operating condition issues. This excess soot can easily overwhelm the DPF and its capacity to regenerate. A trip to the shop and some unplanned downtime and expense is the typical result. Clearly, anything that can be done to reduce soot formation upstream of the DPF will help with these problems.
Testing Results using CleanBoost with Oil Filtration
Over the past 20 years, we have spent
time, effort and over $1,500,000 in testing to document CleanBoost. Tests have been done at laboratories such as Battelle, SGS
Labs, Herguth Labs, ALS Labs, Computer Science Corporation and Southwest
Research Institute. Each of these laboratories
have verified the benefits provided by Combustion
Technologies products. See Warranty.
As just one example, a fleet customer in Utah reported in February 2015 that after 120,000 miles of usage in their 2013 trucks with Cummins engines, the CleanBoost fuel treatment alone reduced opacity readings up to 31%, particulate filter cleaning/scrubbing was reduced by 33-100%, soot readings from oil analysis were reduced by 38-62% and fuel injector replacements were virtually eliminated. DEF Urea usage was reduced by 9-52% and fuel consumption declined 3-10%.
