JCB has a ‘one can’ solution for Tier 4 Final.
255 JCB Power Systems revealed its complete US EPA Tier 4 Final emissions solution at Conexpo for the Ecomax engine.

Using highly efficient combustion technology, the 4.4litre and 4.8litre Ecomax engines meet the required standards without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

JCB’s Ecomax engines have also been recalibrated for Tier 4 Final, resulting in a further 5% fuel saving compared to previous models.

A compact selective catalytic reduction (SCR) solution with a urea-based additive will be used on engines above 55kW. The SCR catalyst is incorporated into a single exhaust silencer, in most cases replacing the existing exhaust box, to provide a ‘one can’ solution.

It is a solution that remains compact, posing no further problems to install in a wide variety of machines without costly modifications to bodywork.

The range also includes four-cylinder Ecomax engines for industrial power units and G-Drive installations for generators and portable power equipment.

JCB said these engines have been specifically designed for the US market to meet EPA requirements, and lower Tier variants are available for less regulated markets.

    With the introduction of Stage V/Tier 5 emissions regulations set for 2019-2020, depending on engine power output, FPT Industrial says that it will build upon its SCR-only strategy, remaining one of the few manufacturers not adopting Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to meet the standard. The Italian firm’s Hi-eSCR after-treatment system, already in use on Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engines, maximises in-engine combustion technology without using EGR. This saves weight, cost and space for the equipment manufacture

    Caterpillar has re-engineered its 7litre C7.1 engine to create a power unit more suited to those markets with lesser-regulated emission controls. Meeting China Stage II emission regulations – equivalent to EU Stage IIIa/EPA Tier 3 – the C7.1 uses high-pressure electronic common rail fuel injection and a wastegated single turbocharger, to achieve a power output of up to 205kW.
