Verification Tests
The improvement in fuel efficiency and reduction in emission gases have been verified through the results of verification tests conducted in almost 30 locations.
■ Asphalt Plant
An actual verification test was conducted on-site at an asphalt plant on the aggregate drier, heating kiln and related generator and construction machinery for more than a year.
(Test Conditions)
Emulsion Fuel = A-Heavy Oil: 80%, Water:18%, Surfactant: 2.0%
Comparison of fuel oil flow volume (100% A-Heavy Oil vs 80% Emulsion Fuel)
Composite material maintained at 160℃ (tested alternately with A-Heavy Oil and Emulsion Fuel)
Recycled material drier burner (Tanaka Iron Works TRD-45 EL-30A)
Construction equipment (Hitachi ZAXIS 200)
Generator (Caterpillar 400 456kVA, 3 phase 60 Hz)
The system has since been implemented at this asphalt plant.
■ Automobile Chassis Dynamometer Test –
JARI (Japan Automobile Research Institute
JARI is a corporation that conducts research and tests relating to automobiles and road transport in Japan. It is a collaboration between Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the country’s main car manufacturers and is a public institution that is the foremost authority on the evaluation of automobiles.
(Test Conditions)
Test Vehicle: Nissan Caravan (5 M/T, direct injection diesel turbo engine ZD30DDTi)
Common rail-type fuel injection system equipped with crude EGR, Diesel Particulate Filter)
Test Fuel: Diesel Oil (control)
Diesel Oil Nano-Emulsion Fuel (Oil : Water = 85 :15)
■ Automobile Running Test
Based on the JARI test results, a test run was conducted at a constant speed at a test course.
(Test Conditions)
Test Vehicle: 3-6-1 Same vehicle as the JARI test
Test Fuel: Diesel Oil (control)
Diesel Oil Nano-Emulsion Fuel (Oil : Water = 85 : 15)
Diesel Oil Nano-Emulsion Fuel (Oil : Water = 75 : 25)
Others: The test was run at a constant speed of 50 km/hr around a 1km long course
■ Small Vessel
A test was conducted on an actual vessel with the aim of verifying the impact on the engine and fuel efficiency in a small vessel.
(Test Conditions)
Test Vessel: Gross Tonnage Approx. 15 tons, Length Overall 13.77m, Moulded Width4.5m,
Moulded Depth 1.9m
Main Engine: Yanmar 6KEK-DT X 1 unit, Horsepower 330ps, Revolution Speed: 1,900 / 571 rpm
Test Fuel: A-Heavy Oil (control)
A-Heavy Oil Nano-Emulsion Fuel (Oil : Water = 85 : 15)
Test Period: Nov 2007 – Sep 2008 (11 months)
After a period of continuous operation, it was verified that there was no impact on the engine internal parts.
■ Small Power Generators
A test was conducted on the auxiliary engine (generator) of a fishing vessel in a seafood processing plant.
