DYNACERT INC. REACHES MAJOR MILESTONE IN THIRD PARTY VALIDATION

DynaCERT Inc. has reached a major milestone in the development and validation of its HydraGen unit for Class 8 truck application. Fuel consumption and emissions testing of the HydraGen unit on a Class 8 truck while exposed to real-world road load and environmental conditions was carried out using the climatic wind tunnel (CWT) of the Automotive Centre of Excellence at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Ont.

The objective of this dynamometer testing was to simulate real-life environments with high accuracy and repeatable conditions on an in-service Class 8 truck to determine how much hydrogen gas/oxygen was required for a minimum of 8-per-cent fuel reduction while at the same time maintaining the same power and torque.

Fuel consumption was measured by rerouting the fuel supply system to an external fuel drum placed on a precision scale. As fuel was consumed, the scale measured the weight of the drum over the time of the test. The fuel weight and time were recorded by the CWT data acquisition system. Emissions were measured by using portable emissions equipment supplied by DynaCERT.

Several trials were done with two different Class 8 tractors at different combinations of velocity, force load and H2/O2 settings.

There was 20-plus hours of testing completed producing over 550 pages of valuable data, which have been instrumental in the further development and algorithms for the company's new smart ECU (electronic control unit).

While altering flow of gases, and depending on different settings of H2/O2, test results verified a range of fuel consumption reductions from 2.7 per cent to 19.2 per cent equally on post-EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and pre-EGR engines.

Emission reduction ranged from 10 per cent to 40 per cent of greenhouse gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide) and greater than 65-per-cent reduction in particulate matter.

About ACE

ACE is a research and testing facility that offers chambers and technology for climatic, structural durability, and life-cycle testing and research. Facilities include one of the largest and most sophisticated climatic wind tunnels on the planet. In this test chamber, wind speeds can reach 280 kilometres per hour with temperatures that range from negative 40 C to plus 60 C. With the its solar arrays and storm generators, the company can create any weather condition imaginable from sweltering jungle downpours to the paralyzing cold of an arctic storm. The company uses these chambers to test automotive and aerospace products, to improve the performance of elite athletes, and to provide services to many other markets, including the unmanned aerial vehicle industry.

Jim Payne, president and chief executive officer of DynaCERT, states: "We are pleased to announce these positive results. The management and engineering team at ACE was a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and commitment to work through 20-plus straight hours of testing was very impressive. As a Canadian company, we look forward to an ongoing relationship working with this state-of-the-art Canadian facility, the Automotive Centre of Excellence, as we further develop our product suite and offering to the market."
