An interesting tidbit...
...from fleetowner.com
Cummins also announced that beginning January 1, 2008, all its on-highway products will meet the new California Air Resource Board (CARB) idle-reduction regulation. Specifically, the Cummins ISX, ISM, ISL, ISC and ISB engines will be “Clean Idle” certified “generating NOx emissions of less than 30 grams per hour, so they “will be allowed to idle indefinitely” under the new rule. |
Yeah I heard about that.
I don't think any APU's will be allowed to idle! |
So the "idle police" have a way to measure grams-per-hour?

Is that called... "job security"? :lol: |
The engine will have a CARB sticker on it.
|
This opens the door for after-market particulate filters. Wonder if it's possible to route your exhaust to a stand-alone filter when you need to idle in Calif.?

NOx is totally different from soot.
There's nothing you can really do about NOx. |
The soot on the stacks is just how they usually decide who to check out. Most of the techs equate a dirty stack with a dirty engine. And actually, it is a good indicator for malfunctioning emissions controls.
|
My APU is a Tier III which passes the emissions. Even if you have an older model they will phase them out over a period of 5 to 7 years. It's not like they will pass a law overnight and everyone with an APU has to throw them away.
