Fume Diluter
Fume Dilutors greatly reduce the risk of engine exhaust gas.
The HJS SA Fume Diluter greatly reduces the risk of engine exhaust gas affecting the health and safety of any personnel in the vicinity of the vehicle. Like other exhaust conditioning devices, it is not designed as a substitute for adequate general ventilation. A combination of Fume Diluters and good ventilation ensures cleaner and safer environmental conditions for operating personnel.
Additional Information
Exhaust gas diluters mix engine exhaust gases with quantities of ambient air before they are discharged from the vehicle. The exhaust gases are diluted, cooled, and projected away from their source. Diluters are commonly used to lower the local concentrations of pollutants to meet applicable occupational health standards. They also provide a simple method of cooling exhaust gases whenever the maximum exhaust temperature is regulated by safety regulations.
The exhaust gas diluters are used on all types of engines, such as diesel, LPG, and gasoline engines. Typical applications include underground mining and material handling. They are also used on stationary engines, which are operated in populated areas, to reduce exhaust odours and the black diesel smoke.
Benefits
- The Fume Diluter will dilute and cool exhaust gas under any engine condition, thus ensuring that the vehicle driver and other personnel are working in a safer and healthier environment. In addition, smoke opacity is reduced.
- Rapid dilution of Nitric Oxide (NO) gas to concentrations less than 30 parts per million by volume greatly reduces the risk of oxidation and the resultant formation of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) gas.
- The risk of igniting inflammable material is greatly reduced because of the lower exhaust temperature.
- Fume Diluters can be so arranged that the total exhaust flow is projected away from the vehicle. This can be particularly advantageous where vehicles are used in tunnels, containers, and warehouses.
- Fume Diluters are robust and designed to withstand rough operating conditions for long periods.
- Fume Diluters have a low initial cost, resulting in a very low total life cycle cost. The unit is quiet in operation and has no moving parts, and does not break down.
Ideal For:
✔ Underground mining applications
✔ Material handling applications
✔ Vehicles used inside containers, in tunnels or warehouses.
