Elite Emission Retrofit
Old Equipment, Meet New Standards
Emission regulations around the world are increasingly becoming stringent and affecting more regions than ever before. California’s Truck & Bus rule leads the way in North America but other states and municipalities arcross the region have begun to pass new regulations. This means that more and more business are likely to be impacted by emission regulations. These regulations often force fleets to make a choice;
- Upgrade their equipment to newer model year vehicles
- Upgrade Current vehicles to meet emission standards
- Cease operations in areas impacted by the regulation
Our highly knowledgeable retrofit team is here to help you. We help fleets by providing insight and additional compliance options so that businesses can limit the impact of compliance to their bottom line.
We supply and install CARB & EPA verified aftertreatment systems to meet emission reduction requirements for both On and Off-Road applications. We also provide administrative support to ensure upgraded equipment is approved by the appropirate authorities.
Retrofit Process
Data Logging
It is important to profile a vehicle’s exhaust temperature to ensure sufficient exhaust temperature for regeneration. Regeneration is the oxidation process that takes place inside the DPF. This process burns the soot collected in the filter turning it into ash. Ash takes up less space than soot and maintains a low-pressure drop across the filter to minimize the filter impact to exhaust flow.
Compatibility Assessment
Retrofit DPF systems are designed and sized according to an engine’s flow rate and engine-out emission levels. As hours accumulate on an engine the composition of the exhaust gases begins to change. It is normal for particulate matter (PM) emissions to increase as a diesel engine goes through its life cycle. The DPF is designed to accommodate increases in PM but if major issues are left unaddressed the high soot content can overwhelm the filter resulting in premature plugging. Our compatibility assessments identify potential issues that could cause performance issues before installation.
Design Review
Engines all flow at different CFM based on the displacement of the engine, horsepower, and exhaust temperature. We take all of these factors into consideration before sizing a system for the application. We then design a system that is optimized for installation on a given piece of equipment. The design is then reviewed with the customer for any last-minute changes and final approval before we begin production.
