DIESEL TESTING

Extensive testing at government and independent laboratories, as well as road tests conducted by our management team, has proven conclusively that the VORTEX FUELTEC works.

The following gives an overview of the testing done on the Fueltec. Complete test results and data are available upon request.

Tests at Ortech Corporation were performed on a DDC 6V92-TA diesel engine to measure engine performance and transient emissions according to EPA standards.

A full load engine performance test was conducted, measuring power, torque, fuel consumption and other relevant engine parameters. As well, the engine was transient emission tested using certification diesel fuel with one cold and four hot cycles. Emissions measured included hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and particulates.

The following charts detail average test values for torque, power output, engine efficiency and fuel flow in each rpm group:

The tests indicate an across the board improvement in engine performance and fuel efficiency — that is, more engine power and load capability for less fuel usage and less engine wear, therefore less cost to the consumer in fuel and engine maintenance.

The emissions test by Ortech on the same engine provided the following average results:

Intertek Testing Services carried out another kind of diesel fuel testing. The tests measured the amount of residue left after combustion of the diesel fuel; the boiling point, that is, the temperature at which the fuel boils off; and the cetane number, a property very important in the operation of diesel engines. The cetane number is a test developed to evaluate fuel ignition delay characteristics.

The cetane number increases in conjunction with the amount of time spent passing through the Fueltec. The higher the cetane number, the better the ignition qualities and, therefore, lower ignition delay.

BOILING POINT TESTING

The temperature at which the fuel boiled off was 7% higher after the fuel passed through the Fueltec. The higher number indicates increased thermal efficiency.
