tru -- Proventia FTF diesel particulate filter now CARB-verified for model year 2003 TRU engines
Posted: 19 Oct 2010 14:14:31
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has revised the verification for the Proventia FTF/Bobtail FTF to cover model year (MY) 2003 engines used on trailer transport refrigeration units (TRU) and bobtail truck TRUs. This action was taken in anticipation of CARB’s planned amendment to the TRU Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM), which will change the in-use performance standard for MY 2003 engines from the current Ultra-Low Emission TRU (ULETRU) in-use standard to include, as an option, the less stringent Low-Emission TRU (LETRU) in-use standard. MY 2003 TRU engines are required to comply with one of these in-use standards (ULETRU or LETRU) by December 31, 2010. This compliance deadline will not change. Enforcement of the in-use standards for MY 2003 engines begins January 1, 2011. The Proventia FTF/Bobtail FTF diesel particulate filter reduces diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions at least 50 percent, plus it complies with the 20 percent NO2 limit, qualifying it as a Level 2 Plus Verified Diesel Emissions Control Strategy (VDECS). This verification allows the Proventia FTF/Bobtail FTF to be used as a retrofit compliance option to meet the TRU ATCM’s LETRU in-use standard. It can be used on most Thermo King trailer TRUs using 1985 through 2003 model year Isuzu and Yanmar engines. CARB has also verified the Proventia Bobtail FTF, which can be used to comply with LETRU on most Thermo King truck TRUs using 1987 through 2004 model year engines and most Carrier Transicold truck TRUs using 1994 through 2004 model year Kubota engines. Specific engine models and families that the Proventia FTF/Bobtail FTF can be used with are listed in Executive Order DE-09-001-01, Attachment 1, which will be posted within a few days on the ARB Verification Procedure - Level 2 website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/level2/level2.htm. Additional information related to the Proventia FTF and Bobtail FTF is available at the Proventia website at: http://www.proventiafilters.com/ Information about CARB's TRU ATCM is available the TRU Website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm A complete list of TRU VDECS that can be used to retrofit TRUs for compliance with the in-use standards is located at the bottom section of CARB's TRU website.
