Techenomics Fuel Conditioners

July 11th, 2011

Fuel conditioners are similar in nature to water, except that they disperse easily and evenly throughout the fuel in your tank. The use of fuel conditioners lowers the fuel costs of a vehicle as well as lowering the release of harmful emissions.

The choice to use fuel conditioners saves money as well as helping the environment. Fuel conditioners also create a higher combustion temperature. This increases fuel quality, which in turn produces an increase in power, cleaner emissions, and improved fuel consumption.

During combustion the fuel burns from the outside of the combustion chamber slowly working its way to the inside. The smaller the fuel droplet, the quicker it will burn. As a fuel droplet containing fuel conditioner burns, it heats the fuel conditioner which turns it into vapour. This accelerates the combustion process. As the temperature increases, the pressure caused by the fuel conditioner vapour is greater than the surface tension of the fuel around it, and causes a micro explosion that breaks the fuel droplet.

The resulting explosion of the fuel droplet allows fuel to burn quicker. This is due to a greater surface area. This accelerated combustion also leads to much less unburnt fuel exiting from the combustion chamber.

Techenomics fuel conditioners contain no heavy metals/detergent components. The by-products from the fuel conditioners’ combustion are H20 (water) in the form of steam, and a trace amount of C02 which are also the natural by-products of the combustion of fuel. For this reason, fuel conditioners do not cause any damage to boilers/engines or and are environmentally friendly.

The use of fuel conditioners provides many benefits. Some of these include:

  • Increases fuel economy by over ten percent
  • Increases the power by over ten precent
  • Reduces maintenance costs
  • Harmful gas emissions are reduced by up to sixty percent
  • Reduces engine noise and vibration
  • Reduces the production of smoke by up to eighty percent
  • Lowers running costs making vehicles more cost effective to run
  • Safe and non-hazardous to use

Purge fluid is designed to clean the entire fuel system (including lines, pumps, injectors and carburettors).

Techenomics is a local lubrication and condition monitoring specialist operating throughout Australia, Asia, Turkey and in Madagascar. Techenomics suppies OnSpec brand Fuel Conditioners, which clean the entire fuel system (the engine, tanks, lines, injectors and the fuel itself). They also reduce other contaminants and foreign particles (e.g. bacteria, water and fungus).  The OnSpec Fuel Conditioner developed by Techenomics treats all these problems in one easy step.

Contamination Control

June 10th, 2011

NewsDesk Release
10 June 2011

Contamination control is any activity attempting to control the existence, growth and proliferation of contamination within a certain area. It can be either atmospheric or on surfaces.
The purpose of contamination control is to ensure an adequate and consistent level of cleanliness in maintained and controlled within an environments.
Today’s machines are designed to be less tolerant of fluid contamination. That’s why is so critical that proper contamination control measures are taken. Some of the advantages of using contamination control methods in engines and machinery include the improvement of engine performance, reliability and the overall improvement customer satisfaction of engines and machinery.
It is essential for companies to ensure that fuels and lubricants used in their operations are clean, due to the complexity and cost of modern capital equipment. Cleanliness can prevent or reduce component failure, reduce downtime and minimise the cost of repairs.

When testing for contamination control it is important to check the injector nozzle (high pressure increases contamination level). This can cause eroding of the orifices and ultimately result in incomplete atomization of fuel and overfueling. Contaminants also cause hard starts within the engine which as a result cause greater emissions), injector plungers/barrels (abrasive particles can cause wear between the injector’s plunger and the barrel. They can also scuff metal surfaces which can cause injector seizure) as well as the control valve (contaminates can cause damage to the valves that control the overall fuel pressure. This erodes mating parts of the valves. Excessive wear on these parts can cause leaks and eventual causes loss in the overall engine power).

Filtrations systems can be used to filter out contaminates that develop within oil, fuel or other fluids within an engine. This is a simple but effective method of controlling contamination that is cost and time effective.
Techenomics is a local lubrication and condition monitoring specialist operating throughout Australia, Asia and in Madagascar. Techenomics’ filtration services aid companies with the design and installation of a range of fuel and oil filtration solutions. Techenomics can provide comprehensive condition monitoring and contamination control audits which are used to develop and implement operational practises. These practices deliver clean fuels and oils to production processes. An added advantage of these processes is the fact that they actually provide and contribute towards an environmentally friendly workplace.

What Is Oil Analysis?

June 10th, 2011

What is Oil Analysis and how should the program work?

Well, it is the analytical results of a lubricants properties, suspended contaminants and wear debris. That’s what we are led to believe, but in fact it is far more than that.

There are a majority of oil testing companies that produce oil testing results, all of which produce  results or evaluation of the lubricants properties, contaminants and wear particles, these results can be obtained  via a number of certain laboratory equipment, each test having its own unique method for providing the information necessary to interpret or report findings on the new or used lubricant.

The difference between Techenomics and other laboratories can easily be identified by the techniques and effort for producing the end result, Techenomics is a true Oil Analysis Company as were others are simply just an Oil Testing company.

Most laboratories will only give you the analysis results with comments on their findings, they will flag the sample accordingly and the rest is left up to you to work out or decide. They will compare the readings against the OEM limits or recommended alarm levels for that type of equipment and compartment, but what they fail to do for you, is so much more important than providing you with simple numbers, graphs and data with a simple explanation which might be only 50% correct, in some cases far less than 50% of the interpretation is correct.

What Techenomics provide is a solution, a solution that is associated with Oil Analysis. Techenomics analyse the sample just like the other laboratories, but then evaluate the sample somewhat differently. Results are compared to the upper and lower limits, or guidelines necessary for each sample, then the sample is crossed checked against history in case of any unexpected rise or change in the analysis, the data is then again evaluated and moved into the third stage for evaluation, the data is then compared to the normal running condition of the equipment and compartment and again evaluated, this is where Techenomics stand out from the others, things such as internal components are looked at, an example of this might be: high Copper levels that came from nowhere would normally be flagged as a problem or critical sample by others, but at Techenomics we call our clients and check to see if the Oil Cooler had been changed, and therefore the sample is actually in a normal state for this type of change and it would be flagged as normal with an explanation in the comments stating that whom we called to discus, why the sample has been flagged as normal even with the high readings of copper, and then ensure our customers satisfaction by letting them know that this is a normal running condition for this type of equipment and over the next few samples we should expect to see a decrease in the copper levels as the Oil Cooler wears in and plays it part in the lubrication system.

See for yourself, contact your nearest Techenomics branch and ask for a free trial to get you started, you will notice the difference, and the difference is more than simple numbers, graphs and comments.
