MDEP Highlights

February 12, 2010

Today’s MDEP Highlight provides yet another good example of how the Mirenco Diesel Evaluation Procedure (MDEP) can be used to improve and maintain engine combustion even on brand new engines from the factory floor.  The MDEP reports below are examples of three brand new pieces of equipment that were evaluated using MDEP.  The results indicated that these engines could benefit from installing C-Max units.  C-Max units were installed and the results demonstrated how a customer can reduce fuel consumption and emissions on brand new engines.  A fuel savings of about 700 gallons per year was seen on these engines from the C-Max installation.  As these engines deteriorate from normal use over each following year the C-Max installs will allow the customer to program out the additional fuel loss each year resulting in additional fuel savings above the initial 700 gallons during the first year.  At the end of these engines useful lives an average of 2,000 gallons a year of fuel savings or roughly 13,000 gallons total can be saved.  Using the MDEP process and C-Max technology has enabled this customer to custom tune their brand new equipment on an individual basis.
