EMD NOx Reducing 645EBand FB Engine Overhaul Kits

Sub-Grantees:Electro Motive Diesel, Inc.

EMD (ELECTRO MOTIVE DIESEL) proposes NOx reduction overhaul kits for EMD engines running in locomotives, marine vessels, and power generation that will provide a 25% reduction in NOx emission and 20-30% reduction in PM (Particulate Matter) emission from current EPA Tier 0 locomotive line haul standards. These kits will be applicable to EMD 645EB and FB turbocharged engines. For rail applications, this kit will also include our “Auto Engine Start Stop” system that will further reduce engine emissions and fuel consumption through idle reduction.

EMD is proposing to develop e Electronic Unit Injection (EUI) system for use in EMD’s 645 mechanical unit injected (MUI) engines. This system will provide the needed injection control throughout the engine power range to limit emissions and maximize fuel economy. The EUI system also gives greater flexibility for future emission reductions as injection and emission reduction technology advances. This system requires application of EMD’s locomotive control system (EM2000), along with EMD’s EMDEC (electronic injection system) to meet and even exceed the required NOx targets.
