Carlton Elementary School Solar Shade Project
A Heavy Duty 13 Liter HD Truck engine will be re-engineered to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) with a lean/dilute - burn mode of combustion that is inherently higher in efficiency than current stoichiometric natural gas engines. The combination of different advanced technologies with achieves extremely low engine-out emissions of NOx, CO, CH4, and particulate matter while improving efficiency 10-16%. Integration and control of commercially available exhaust treatment, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and other specific catalytic systems, will be added to bring tailpipe NOx emissions levels under 0.02 g/bph-hr and to minimize CH4 emissions. This work involved refinement, application, and demonstration of these enabling technologies.
