Now in its 16 th year, the study measures satisfaction with engines and transmissions among primary maintainers of heavy-duty (Class 8) trucks that are one model-year old. Heavy-Duty Truck Engine and Transmission Study is based on the responses of 1,725 primary maintainers of Class 8 heavy-duty trucks that are one model-year-old.
liter Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged diesel engine produces best-in-class 735 lb-ft (997 N·m) of torque at 1,600 rpm and best-in-class 390 hp (291 kW) at 2,800 rpm. liter V-8 gasoline engine also boasts best-in-class numbers of 405 lb-ft (549 N·m) of torque at 4,500 rpm and 385 hp (287 kW) at 5,500 rpm. Cutaway of the 6.7-liter
Twin-scroll turbocharger designs have two exhaust gas inlets divided by split walls inside the turbine housing, with both gas passages controlled by a waste-gate. A twin-scroll turbo recovers even more energy from the exhaust than a single-scroll turbocharger thanks to a divided manifold. Maximum boost from the turbocharger is 17.4
To comply with Euro VI the Cursor 9 CNG does not need Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), but relies on a simple three-way catalyst. This, together with the modified cylinder head, characterized by intake ports with an optimized swirl angle, grants class leading fuel consumption.

Mercedes-Benz 7.7L mono-fuel gas engine. Earlier post.). This allows cost and weight reduction over base diesel engine.
This would include a new turbocharger and corresponding exhaust manifold modifications, and a new air filter to reduce inlet pressure loss. Overall, this technology package is the most attractive retrofitting solution for improving the efficiency of the GB rail fleet if applied to all 450 Class 66 freight locomotives. Background.
MHPS says it has more Advanced Class Gas Turbines (ACGT) operating around the globe than the next two competitors. MHPS digital solutions optimize plant performance, avoid unplanned downtime and enable predictive maintenance. It means that if the power plant is constructed and commissioned, it will use MHPS gas turbines. reliability.
Opt for Filtration Over Exhaust. There are two main methods of removing weld fumes from the robotic hood: Exhaust systems pull contaminated air out of the hood using ventilation fans. Exhaust systems are cheap to install, but generally not the best option for the large volumes of fumes produced by robotic welding applications.
This engine is available in two performance classes: 65 kW (88 hp) and 84 kW (114 hp). Emission control comes via exhaust gas recirculation, a diesel particulate filter and an oxidation catalytic converter.
