A heavy-duty exhaust valve guide with thermal deformation and temperature color scaling demonstrates high side load at high temperatures in contact with the exhaust gas. The solid lubricant package, combined with vacuum oil impregnation, delays valve stem scuffing in high temperature, heavily side-loaded applications.

The Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA) released a report assessing market-ready technologies being commercialized by suppliers of emission control and efficiency components for heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet lower intermediate standards for oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) by 2024 as a transition to final standards in 2027.

In this report, MECA provides our assessment of technologies being commercialized by component suppliers, including MECA members, to help their customers comply with future lower NO x standards. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.

The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter Friction-reducing measures include a variable speed water pump, a clutched air compressor, low-viscosity oil and an improved cylinder kit. The aftertreatment system features additional insulation to retain maximum heat energy in the exhaust. Click to enlarge.

A key part of the overall efficiency gain is the downsized 11-liter Volvo engine, featuring advanced fuel injection, cooling, oil and turbo-charging systems, as well as new “wave” pistons and other improvements. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.).

Since 2010, all Sprinters in the US have been powered by BlueTEC diesel engines, marking the first use of BlueTEC technology, with its selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust aftertreatment system, in the commercial van market here. The two overhead camshafts actuate 16 intake and exhaust valves.
