Smile New Technology Fuel For Diesel Engines

Clean diesel is a partnership between cleaner ultra-low sulfur fuel, state-of-the-art engines and highly efficient emission control equipment to produce dramatically lower emissions.

Clean diesel fuel is highly refined and contains very little sulfur. This clean fuel enables new diesel engines and emission control equipment to operate at peak efficiency to reduce emissions.Innovative new engine technology also plays an important role in clean diesel.Engine manufacturers have incorporated better computer controls that allow for more precise fuel flows. Upgraded turbochargers and improved combustion chamber design also have led to reduced emissions.

Improved emission control equipment, including particulate filters, is the third component of clean diesel. Particulate filters can be used with new engines or they can be installed on older trucks and buses. In both cases, to work properly and avoid clogging, the engines must operate with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

Advantages of the diesel engine are numerous. It burns considerably less fuel than a gasoline engine performing the same work. It has no ignition system to attend to. It can deliver much more of its rated power on a continuous basis than can a gasoline engine. The life of a diesel engine is generally about twice as long than a gasoline engine. Although diesel fuel will burn in open air using a wick, it will not explode. With partial load the fuel consumption lbs/Kwh is the same in opposition to gasoline and turbine engines
