Low Emissions Applications

AIRCRAFT

Today it becomes more important to design engines for low emissions output.  Leaded fuel is still available for aircraft use, but has literally disappeared from all other applications.  Now, only unleaded gasoline or other fuels containing "Zero" lead are legal for use in engines for any application other than aircraft.

It is expected that leaded fuel for aircraft will also within 5-10 years be replaced completely with an unleaded gasoline.  The only reason this has not been done already is that aircraft engines require high-octane levels (100+ octane).  Up until now unleaded gasoline could not easily be produced to achieve 100+ octane. It is believed that the new fuels that will be produced will achieve similar octane levels to the leaded fuels for aircraft.  High octane means high resistance to detonation.  Turbo-charged and super-charged engines need a fuel that has a high resistance to detonation or they literally destroy themselves from normal use let alone high power settings.

The Dyna-Cam Engine has incorporated special valve train components that operate on all dry, unleaded fuels.  These include unleaded gasoline, propane, and compressed natural gas (CNG.). As leaded gasoline disappears from airports (5-10 years) and converts to unleaded, the Dyna-Cam Engine is ready to accept these unleaded fuels, but it can still use the leaded fuel today.

Nearly all dyno testing is done on unleaded car gasoline currently at Dyna-Cam.  This assures proper aircraft operation for new buyers whether they use leaded gasoline or unleaded gasoline. This also keeps actual exhaust emissions at lower levels because unleaded fuel will produce lower, safer emissions than the leaded fuel usage.

MARINE, VEHICLE, INDUSTRIAL

For applications other than aircraft, only non-leaded fuels are allowed!  The Dyna-Cam engine is a piston engine with standard low-emission combustion chambers, valve train components, and piston ring sets.  There has been literally hundreds of millions of dollars spent by automotive and engine manufacturers for reducing emissions. When this industry makes changes and obtains new lower levels of emissions, these same changes can be incorporated onto the Dyna-Cam Engine.  The result is lower emissions and better fuel economy for the Dyna-Cam as well.  The fact that we have this flexibility on our engine is one of the reasons that Dyna-Cam was awarded grants for low-emissions projects in the past.  These awards came from AQMD, So. California Gas, and California Energy Commission.  Although, no current R & D on these projects is on-going, these projects can be continued again as soon as low emission applications and clients become available. 

For extremely low emission levels, the Dyna-Cam can be outfitted with similar catalytic converters and exhaust systems.  This will allow the Dyna-Cam to produce the lowest emissions levels possible for piston, fuel-burning engines.  Anything that helps conventional engines achieve ultra-low emissions can be used on Dyna-Cam Engines for even lower emission levels.
