Repeatable Emissions and Fuel Performance Testing Protocol

Overview
This repeatable and simple testing protocol aims to evaluate the impact of treated fuels and oils on emissions and performance over time. The process involves establishing baseline data, applying treatments, measuring effects at various load levels, and monitoring the return to baseline after reverting to untreated fuels.

1. Baseline Data Collection

Duration
– 8 hours

Objectives
– Record emissions and performance metrics under normal operating conditions.
– Establish a reference dataset for comparison.

Procedure
– Operate the engine/system continuously.
– Collect data on emissions (e.g., NOx, CO, particulate matter).
– Measure operational parameters (e.g., fuel consumption, power output).

Load Levels & Data Collection
– 50% load
– 80% load
– 100% load

2. Treatment Phase

Duration
– 2 days (48 hours) (This allows for the system to be completely treated before measuring treated data)

Materials
– Treated fuels and oils (specify treatment details if applicable)

Procedure
– Replace standard fuels/oils with treated variants.
– Operate the system continuously during this period.
– Observe any immediate visual effects and record data as in baseline.

3. Post-Treatment Measurement

Duration
– 8 hours

Objectives
– Assess the impact of the treatment on emissions and performance at different load levels.

Load Levels & Data Collection
– 50% load
– 80% load
– 100% load

Procedure
– Incrementally increase/decrease load to target levels.
– At each load, record emissions and operational data.
– Compare with baseline data to evaluate improvements or changes.

4. Reversion to Untreated Fuels and Oils

Procedure
– Switch back to untreated fuels/oils.
– Continue operation under normal conditions.

Monitoring
– Measure emissions and performance at regular intervals.
– Record data at similar load levels (50%, 80%, 100%).

5. Data Analysis & Recovery Assessment

Objective
– Determine the time required for the emissions and performance metrics to return to baseline levels after reverting to untreated fuels/oils.

Method
– Plot the collected data over time.
– Identify when data points align with initial baseline datasets.
– Record the duration from revert to baseline recovery.

Additional Notes
– Ensure consistent operating conditions throughout all phases.
– Use calibrated instruments for accurate measurements.
– Document any anomalies or deviations.
