yeah his PSD was a mirror image of yours- he ended up selling it as is and picked up a '99
How heavy was that Hoe? Looks like 20K including tong weight
The excavator was 13,500 lbs. the trailer, im guessing is like 4-5,000. So around 18,000lb total weight.
I would recommend the same thing lol. The new body style trucks have better interiors and more upgrade-ability.
When will be see diesel engines without the use of urea injection or others to meet the clean act requirements?
Dodoma, the problem with diesel engines, is that they are scored (emissions wise) on two parameters, Particulate Matter (PM) and Oxides of Nitrogen NOx.
Some interesting things happen at the tailpipe when you change injection strategies.
NOx and PM have a direct, but inverse relationship to combustion temperature.
When combustion temperatures are lower, PM increases and NOx decreases.
When combustion temperatures increase, PM decreases, but NOx increases.
With the urea injection system, Urea is injected into a catalyst that breaks NOx into ammonia and nitrogen. The Urea breaks down the ammonia in an an ammonia oxidation catalyst to hydrogen and oxygen? I think? So the only things coming out of the exhaust are water, and nitrogen.
The talk of new diesel engines is doing away from the DPF (particulate filter) but relying heavily on urea. If you increase the injection temperatures hugely, you can burn off all the PM, but have raised NOx, using more urea.
Hope that provides insight to your question lol
As for the atkinson engine, all I could find on that is just volumetric efficiency. No emissions changes.
