中文摘要
燃料会受到水、微粒和细菌的污染,这些细菌会沉降到燃料箱的底部。燃料污染导致发动机损坏、机器停机和生产率降低;特别是在建筑和公路运输方面。因此,允许Optimiser在项目后获得车辆类型批准,并在众多车辆生产工厂和燃料类型中具有高度可扩展性。目前,燃料拾取器只有一个功能;提取燃料和静态装置,导致暴露在污染的底部的油箱。Optimiser结合了一个动态燃料收集器和一个燃料发送器来提取最清洁的燃料,并带有机载燃料质量监测;防止污染物进入系统。实时燃料温度、质量、压力和流量分析信息将实现远程分析、预测性维护和改善燃料库存管理(现场/多车)。ECU集成为油耗、诊断警报、发动机性能、车辆利用率、路线规划、改进的驾驶员行为(超速、加速、急刹车、急转弯、空转)以及燃油/车辆盗窃提供了基准。大型低效柴油发动机加上高年行驶里程占全球运输部门二氧化碳/氮氧化物排放量的39%(约占化石燃料排放量的5%)。optimizer可立即响应COP28,减少约5%的CO2/NOx;如果大规模采用,可有效减少1 / 20的现有车辆。该项目将逐步改变现有的燃料提取系统,从第一天开始提供最清洁的燃料。
英文摘要
Fuel becomes contaminated from water, particulates and bacteria settling to the bottom of fuel tanks. Fuel contamination leads to engine damage, machine downtime and reduced productivity; particularly in construction and road haulage.FuelActive has achieved demonstrable success in the fuel solutions market through developing innovative retrofitted fuel-delivery and monitoring systems that help prevent breakdowns with two products currently:* **FuelActive:** Floating fuel-extraction pipe delivering the cleanest fuel, mitigating injector damage and engine failure* **iFuelActive:** Smart fuel-extraction unit utilising in-tank sensors/telemetry to remotely monitor fuel-qualityThis project will evolve FuelActive's conceptual 'Optimiser' design to create a seamlessly deployable solution across a variety of engine and fuel tank combinations that can be directly installed within equipment/vehicles during maintenance cycles or at pre-delivery inspections (aftermarket) and confirm unit technical specifications for production samples. Consequently, allowing Optimiser to attain vehicle Type Approval post-project and become highly-scalable within numerous vehicle production plants and fuel-types.Currently, fuel pick-ups fulfil a single function; to extract fuel and are static devices, resulting in exposure to contamination at the bottom of the tank. Optimiser combines a dynamic fuel pick-up with a fuel-sender to extract the cleanest fuel, with on-board fuel-quality monitoring; preventing contaminants entering the system. Real-time fuel temperature, quality, pressure and flow-analysis information will enable remote analytics, predictive maintenance and improve fuel-stock management (on-site/multiple vehicles). ECU integration provides benchmarks for fuel consumption, diagnostic alerts, engine performance, vehicle utilisation, route-planning, improved driver behaviour (over-revving, heavy-acceleration, harsh-braking, aggressive cornering, idling) and fuel/vehicle theft.Large inefficient diesel engines combined with high annual mileage accounts for 39% of the transport sector's CO2/NOx emissions (~5% of fossil-fuels) globally. Optimiser provides an immediate response for COP28, with ~5% CO2/NOx reduction; effectively removing 1-in-20 existing vehicles if adopted at-scale. This project will deliver a step-change to existing fuel-extraction systems by supplying the cleanest fuel from Day-1\.
