EVALUATION OF A DEVISE TO BE USED IN DIESEL ENGINES
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
At the request of Mr. Cuculiza, we proceeded to evaluate a device to be used in diesel engines; of brand name ALGAE-X, model LG-X 500 and of USA origin.
In accordance with the information provided by the manufacturer, the objective of this devise is to improve the performance of the engine and keep it internally clean. As a bend result of using this device a better combustion should be attained; obtaining a reduction in fuel consumption, a lesser accumulation of deposits in the engine and in the filters and a reduction in the emission of contaminant particles.
2. PROCEDURE
The tests were performed in a 1994 Chevrolet truck, model ISUZU NPR, with 345,670 km at the beginning of the test.
Firstly, the truck was monitored without the devise during 5,481 km. Subsequently, a maintenance was performed to the vehicle, changing the oil and filter, taking an emissions reading and the installation of the device according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. RESULTS
According with the test performed the results obtained before and after the installation of the ALGAE-X devise, under the above mentioned procedure, are the following:
| Fuel samples before and after processing it through an ALGAE-X STS 5000 | ||||
| Condition | Total Mileage km | Average Fuel Consumption km/lt |
Opacity Index (k) |
Opacity Index (k) Standard Value (l/m) |
| Before installation of the device | 5,481 | 4.80 | 1.56 | ≤ 2.50 |
| After installation of the device | 17,409 | 6.11 | 1.05 | ≤ 2.50 |
4. CONCLUSION
According to the results obtained from the before mentioned device it can be concluded that in accordance with the also before mentioned conditions, its use allows to obtain a significant reduction in fuel consumption and in the emission of contaminant particles. Additionally, the fuel particles are significantly reduced, which was evident by the clean condition of the filter.
