Test Id: 16
Title: Tidewater Marine
File Size: 19.169 MB
Industries: Marine
Report Type: Field Test
Benefits: Emissions, Fuel economy
Fuels: 2D Diesel (Regular Diesel)
Report Date: 17-Aug-1982
Test Date: 23-Jul-1982
Test Location: Louisiana, USA
Summary: Fuel Economy Results:
44.8% average improvement on 16 Detroit V871 engines via Carbon Mass Balance testing
Engine Emissions Results:
50.3% average improvement on 16 Detroit V871 engines via CO2 testing
38.0% average improvement on 16 Detroit V871 engines via HC testing
Notes: The extraordinary improvement numbers found in this test report are primarily due to the extreme carbon build up in the Brahma's engine. FPC was able to clean the engine resulting in improvement numbers that are much larger than the norm. Per the observations section of the report, the gas analyzer's filters were plugged during the baseline testing: this implies that the percent improvement for the Brahma may actually be larger than the numbers reported.
