INTERMAT launch for Perkins Stage IV solution

Perkins used INTERMAT to reveal its six-cylinder solution to meet US EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions regulations due in 2014. Top of the six-cylinder range is the twin turbo, 1206F-E70TTA – a 7litre engine capable of producing up to 225kW. Key to the engine’s cleanliness is a revised emissions module that now adds an SCR system to the existing DOC and DPF elements, but without increasing its physical size.

David Clayton: re-engineered system for Tier 4
299 Perkins used INTERMAT to reveal its six-cylinder solution to meet US EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions regulations due in 2014.

Top of the six-cylinder range is the twin turbo, 1206F-E70TTA – a 7litre engine capable of producing up to 225kW.

Key to the engine’s cleanliness is a revised emissions module that now adds an SCR system to the existing DOC and DPF elements, but without increasing its physical size.

“We’ve re-engineered the active system from the Stage IIIb 1206 engine to become a passive system with diesel exhaust fluid for Stage IV,” explained Perkins’ Tier 4 product marketing manager Daniel Clayton. “This new emissions module can also be remote-mounted by up to 1.8m from the engine, assisting installation for OEMs. And removing the active regeneration element has meant the module is also 30kg lighter than before.”

Perkins added that the service-free module is said to be good for 8-10,000hours before needing inspection.

“The passive exhaust emissions system delivers up to 8% better fuel economy, but with the addition of 3% diesel exhaust fluid, customers can expect a net fluid consumption that is 5% lower than the Stage IIIb version,” added Clayton.

    March 6, 2014
    Volvo Penta now offers Tier 4 Final emissions-compliant engines from 106-523kW. The range comes in 5-, 8-, 11-, 13- and 16litre capacities and suits a host of off-road applications, including material handling, construction, quarrying and mining. Achieving Tier 4 Final emissions sees Volvo Penta opting for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The system performs without regeneration or a diesel particulate filter making it a simpler, more versatile and a less costly option for customers, said the

    2012 sees the start of a new wheeled excavator programme from Liebherr, and the A916 represents the first fruit from the project. Replacing the A316 Litronic, the new A916 has been developed to meet Stage IIIB emissions requirements and has an operating weight from 17-18.1 tonnes depending on specification. Power comes from a four-cylinder 110kW engine with common rail fuel injection, EGR and DOC – a DPF is available as an optional extra for those working inside buildings.

    Sandvik Mining is now using Volvo Penta engines in its underground trucks and loaders. The advanced engines meet Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards and are claimed to reduce fuel and ventilation costs in comparison with other units. The Volvo Penta engineers designed a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit in the exhaust system that converts NOx gas into nitrogen and water. The Volvo Penta exhaust-treatment solution also reduces DPM levels without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
