NUMBER OF SAMPLES:    Four (4)    REPORT DATE:      September 30, 2007

DATE SUBMITTED:           September 26, 2007              GROUP NUMBER:   7188M

SAMPLE TYPE:                 Charcoal Tubes                  

METHODS OF TESTING:

GCMS OPEN SCAN:  The samples were collected on a charcoal tube and analysis was performed using laboratory procedure involving desorption of the tubes and analysis using gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS).  The GC/MS runs are analyzed in the open scan mode and utilizing a full library search we are able to qualitatively identify over 50,000 possible organic compounds.

RESULTS OF TESTING:

Volatile Organic Compounds in Air

Results are expressed in micrograms (ug)

ND = Not Detected

Note:  The compounds listed above were the major peaks observed on the chromatogram.  

The % of change at the crankcase emission was 100% reduction with the device.

The % of change at the exhaust emission was 78% - 100% with the device.

TESTING and EVIDENCE   

Date of Test:                    July 2003

Engine Mileage:                    70,000 km

Owner:                                   Brent Ronan

Contact Information:          (604)869-1104

Vehicle:                 1998 1-Ton Delivery Truck

Engine Type:          6.5 liter turbo

Fuel Type:              Diesel

Testing Center Comments:

This vehicle was equipped with a CDR valve (enclosed crankcase). CDR valves require routine replacement every 30,000km because of sludge build-up.

The CDR valve was removed and replaced with our catalyst, eliminating CDR valve maintenance requirements.

The vehicle is used 12 hours per day, 5 days a week continuous operation. Aprox. 300km per day.

Outcomes and Results

Documented improvements were noted as follows:

• increased power
• improved drivability (faster acceleration, less vibration)
• reduction in exhaust emissions
• quieter operation with driver reports of less driver fatigue

A new unit was installed and the vehicle test driven with no changes in sound or performance, indicating that the original device was still performing as new in comparison to the old unit in this long term test case.

The owner/operator was pleased with the operation of his vehicle and endorses this InterCharger completely.

  After installation – intake very clean.

Evidence and Case Study – Long Term Test

Date of Test:                    May 2005

Owner:                                   Raymond Zervnini,  President, Canyon Cable

Contact Information:          (604)869-9036

Vehicle:                           DT466 International Garbage Truck

Engine Type:                    L10 Cummins

Fuel Type:                       Diesel

Testing Center Comments:

This test was to look at the InterCharger use characteristics.  Determination of whether the InterCharger would work on worn-out equipment that had excessive smoke, blow-by and loss of power.

The test vehicle was put in service with a new InterCharger.  After the 3^rd day exhaust smoke was diminished. On the 4^th day, the operator noticed an increase in power and more responsiveness.  Upon servicing the vehicle, we noticed the oil was much cleaner for a longer period.

Outcomes and Results

• No visible exhaust smoke.
• Idled smoother
• Easier starting – especially in -20 degree C. temperatures
• Cleaner oil
• More power on mountain roads
• In compliance with Provincial emission regulations.

Evidence and Case Study  – Long Term Test

Date of Test:                    February 2005

Engine Mileage:                    100,000 km

Owner:                                   Jeff Stephenson

Contact Information:          (604)869-3495

Vehicle:                           1985 S-15 Jimmy

Engine Type:                    4.6L

Fuel Type:                       Gas

Testing Center Comments:

This test identified the effect of InterCharger on high performance engines.

The test vehicle had 100,000km when the engine was disassembled.  There was no evidence tar, sludge or build up. There was no maintenance performed on the vehicle or the InterCharger with no signs of any contaminated and/or sludge.

Outcomes and Results

This high-performance engine has over 100,000kms. The engine was disassembled and found to be very clean.

Emission Test Date – (Source: BC AirCare®) 

• Failed inspection before the InterCharger was installed
• Passed inspection after the InterCharger was installed with:
• -29% Reduction in Hydrocarbons emissions
• -75% Reduction in CO emissions
• -35% Reduction in NOx emissions  

Evidence and Test Data – Long Term - Diesel Engine 

Outcomes and Results  

After four years and 400,000kms of using this technology the engine’s emissions were reduced -93%. There has been no modification or parts replacement on the engine in that time period.  

Cement Trucks and Gravel Trucks

Testing Program:   10 vehicles tested since May 2006

These engines all had open vent systems and had excessive exhaust smoke. Some had leaking crank seals causing oil to drip into the ground; most job sites consider this unacceptable.   

Results:  Eliminated excessive exhaust smoke, oil leaks stopped, more power.

Fire Trucks 

Testing Program: Five Fire trucks were tested with the InterCharger with 100% reduction of toxic crankcase emissions.

Typical Cummins Diesel Engine (left) and Gasoline Engine (right) installations

School Buses    

Testing Program: School Buses with the InterCharger installed achieved 100% reduction of toxic crankcase emissions, better power and cleaner engines.

Garbage Trucks (3)

Results:

• operated 5-days per week for over two-years

• no required maintenance on the InterCharger devices

• no required engine service, other than oil changes on older engines

• new engine had significantly reduced maintenance issues on existing emission control equipment e.g. EGR valve which was replaced twice in one year before the device was installed, but after it required no further replacement in one and a half years of testing.

Nordberg Diesel Generator:

This 4800hp engine is designed for ships.  It was operating for 5-years with the unit producing 3.2 megawatts of power.

Some of the industrial engines that we have been long term testing include:

Results:

• improved power and response to power changes

• reduced vibration significantly

• reduced sound

• reduced cylinder head temperatures

• reduced smoke and toxic emissions

• easier starting characteristics

• improved combustion allowed the use of heavier, cheaper, diesel        fuel

• reduction in CO2 emission

• cleaner intercooler and carbon deposits on engine
