Fuel Catalyst Engineered To Reduce Emissions, Improve Fuel Economy

摘要

As the next round of emissions regulations are phased in, vehicle and equipment manufacturers in both the on- and off-highway industries are focused on supplying efficient machines that meet emissions requirements while still maintaining fuel economy. In an effort to meet those goals, they are looking at a range of new technologies that have been developed over the last few years. Among these is a fuel catalyst system engineered by Advanced Power Systems International (APSI), Lakeville, Conn. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a permanently installed fuel treatment system designed to improve fuel quality and thereby improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions in diesel and gasoline engines. The catalyst is a poly-metallic alloy, which is installed directly into the fuel line and as fuel passes over the unit it induces a reaction that alters the molecular structure of the fuel before it enters the combustion chamber. This treated fuel produces a more efficient burn, which APSI said has been proved through independent laboratory testing to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions, along with inhibiting bacteria contamination of fuel.
