    Your LSI engine emission control just got easier! The BlueCAT™ 300 is a Retrofit Emissions Control System which has been verified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for installation on uncontrolled gaseous-fueled Large Spark-Ignition (LSI) engines. BlueCAT™ 300 systems control exhaust emissions and noise from industrial forklift trucks, floor care machinery, aerial lifts, ground support equipment, and other spark-ignition rich-burn (stoichiometric) engines. Nett Technologies’ BlueCAT™ 300 practically eliminates all of the major exhaust pollutants: Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions are reduced by over 90% and Hydrocarbons (HC) by over 80%. BlueCAT™ 300 three-way catalytic converters consist of a high-performance emissions control catalyst and an advanced electronic Air/Fuel Ratio Controller. The devices work together to optimize engine operation, fuel economy and control emissions. The controller also reduces fuel consumption and increases engine life. Nett's BlueCAT™ 300 catalytic muffler replaces the OEM muffler simplifying installation and saving time. The emission control catalyst is built into the muffler and its size is selected based on the displacement of the engine. Thousands of direct-fit designs are available for all makes/models of forklifts and other equipment. The BlueCAT™ 300 catalytic muffler matches or surpasses the noise attenuation performance of the original muffler with the addition of superior emissions reduction performance.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hybrid electrical bus employs both a turbo diesel engine and an electric motor to drive the vehicle in different speed-torque scenarios. The cooling system for such a vehicle is particularly power costing because it needs to dissipate heat from not only the engine, but also the intercooler and the motor. An electronic control unit (ECU) has been designed with a single chip computer, temperature sensors, DC motor drive circuit, and optimized control algorithm to manage the speeds of several fans for efficient cooling using a nonlinear fan speed adjustment strategy. Experiments suggested that the continuous operating performance of the ECU is robust and capable of saving 15% of the total electricity comparing with ordinary fan speed control method. 1. Introduction according to water temperature. Some recent studies paid more attention to the nonlinear engine and radiator ther- A hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) employs both a turbo diesel mocharacteristics and the corresponding nonlinear PWM engine and an electric motor to drive the vehicle in different control techniques [6–9], which so far has not yielded mass speed-torquescenarios.Aneffectivethermomanagement produced equipment.

  • GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for ALL THROTTLE PLATE KITS Installation Instructions
    GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL THROTTLE PLATE KITS Installation Instructions WARNING! These instructions must be read and fully understood before installation. If this manual is not fully understood, installation should not be attempted. GENERAL: These are basic general instructions to remove and install the throttle plates in any two or four barrel Holley carburetors. Since a four barrel carburetor was used in this instruction sheet, the same basic removal and installation steps apply to two barrels also. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before starting the actual work, go through a “dry” run with the throttle body and the instruction sheet. This will help you familiarize yourself and gain confidence with all the procedures. TOOLS AND MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION Phillips screwdriver Standard screwdriver Vise Soft wood blocks Duct tape Fine/medium file Loctite Grade 290 “Duck Billed” tip vise grips Carburetor stand (or suitable holding fixture) Access to compressed air REMOVAL OF THROTTLE BODY: 1. Place carburetor on its side to remove the throttle body screws. On vacuum secondary four barrels, it will be necessary to remove the “C” clip which holds the vacuum diaphragm stem onto the secondary throttle shaft. See Figure 1. 2. Place all screws, clips, and links to the side for later installation. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 Page 1 FIGURE 3 Front Side of Primary Throttle Bores shown FIGURE 4 REMOVAL OF OLD THROTTLE PLATES 1. Place the throttle body on a carburetor stand. See Figure 2. RECOMMENDATION: When servicing a carburetor off the vehicle it is recommended to place it in a suitable holding fixture. This helps prevent damage to the machined surfaces of the throttle body.

  • Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulators TB
    Aeromotive, Inc. Technical Bulletin #201 From: Aeromotive Technical Department Date: 12/8/14 Re: Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulators, Vacuum and Boost Reference: Aeromotive Carbureted Bypass Regulators: Why and how to use vacuum and boost reference. All Aeromotive, Carburetor Bypass are designed to allow the regulated fuel pressure to be vacuum or boost referenced on a 1:1 ratio with PSI. The purpose of the boost reference feature is to ensure fuel pressure at the inlet of the needle-and-seat rises with boost, offsetting any air pressure opposing fuel flow at the outlet of the needle and seat, in the float bowl itself. For “blow through” carbureted engines, where air is pushed or “blown” through the carburetor from a turbo or centrifugal supercharger, the carburetor and float bowls are pressurized, along with the intake. Pressure enters the float bowls via the vent tubes. As boost pressure builds in the intake, it also builds in the bowls, offsetting the pressure working to push fuel in through the needle and seat. Rising boost can act to slow or even stop fuel from entering the bowl, allowing it to run empty. By connecting the boost reference port on the regulator to the hat or carburetor box, the regulator will raise fuel pressure 1:1 with boost pressure, offsetting the rising air pressure and ensuring fuel continues to fill the bowl and feed the engine. The boost reference line on a blow through engine should reference positive pressure only (that is boost), not vacuum, and be connected to the carburetor box or hat rather than the intake manifold.
