2Background
- Due to rising costs of fuel and environmental
concerns, the industry is interested in
anti-idling techniques. - Cummins has developed a broad set of solutions to
fit all fleets needs.
3Purpose Overview
- This presentation will address the following
- Regulatory Requirements
- Cummins Solutions for Anti-Idle
- Icon
- Comfortguard
- 30g NOx exemption
- Future trends and techniques
42008 Emissions Hurdle - CARB Regulation
- CARB regulation is effective Jan 2008
- Limit idling of trucks to 5 minutes in California
- If the engine can be certified to 30 g/hr NOx at
idle, a Certified Clean Idle label can be
placed on vehicle hood and it is exempt from the
5 minute idling limit - All APUs used with 2007 and later engines will
need to meet one of the following - An 85 reduction in PM OR
- PM level less than or equal to 0.01 g/bhp-hr OR
- Have exhaust plumbed into engine exhaust system
upstream of the engines PM aftertreatment device - All 2007 trucks required to retro-fitted APU in
2008 - Summary
- Beginning 2008, HD trucks in CA will be required
to shut-off after 5-minutes, sleeper-berths
included. The way to be exempt from that
requirement is if the engine is certified as a
clean-idle meeting the 30g/hr NOx limit and has a
"certified clean idle" label on the truck's hood.
52007 Idle Management Product Offering
- ICON Monitors the battery voltage, engine block
and cab temperature. When it drops below a preset
level, ICON tells the Electronic Control Module
(ECM) to start the engine. Once the condition(s)
have been met, then ICON will automatically shut
the engine off. - ComfortGuard - A vehicle mounted small diesel
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and integrated HVAC
system which eliminates the need to idle the main
vehicle engine, significantly reducing fuel
costs, emissions, and noise.
6ICON
2007
COMFORTGUARD
- Engine Mode - When ICON is activated, engine mode
monitors engine block temperature and battery
voltage. - Cab Comfort Mode - Cab comfort mode maintains the
temperature in the sleeper bunk during rest
periods. The driver can set the desired
temperature on a thermostat control located in
the sleeper. - 2 year/250k warranty
- Reduces idle fuel consumption by up to 50
- Engine driven generator / Integrated or stand
alone cooling - 2-cylinder water cooled Kubota diesel engine /
Cummins built alternator - 120v AC power output 4 kW at 60 Hz
- 12v DC power output 40 amps
- Dimensions 21 L x 24.5 D x 28 H
- Weight 375 lbs
- 500 hour oil change interval (matching truck)
- Reduces idle fuel consumption up to 80 while
providing power for any hotel load - Payback period of 1-2 years
- Self Diagnostics
- 2 year/4,000 hour warranty
7Integrated Exhaust Concerns and Validation Work
82008 Heavy Duty On-Highway Engines
- If the engine can be certified to 30 g/hr NOx at
idle, a Certified Clean Idle label can be
placed on vehicle hood - Cummins is working to meet this
- 1100 rpm is a challenge
- Need to assess reliability impact as well
- Impact of 30 g/hr NOx at idle to engine
performance and cost implications will be
identified from the assessment work - Value in other states is also a question
9CEMS
Future
COMFORTGUARD
- Cummins Energy Management System (CEMS) will
replace the ICON in mid-2008. - Functionality of CEMS is much greater than ICON,
there will be a base and optimized version. - Energy source, vehicle battery
- Simplified installation requirements
- Expanded control of auxiliary HVAC devices
- Advanced user interface and diagnostics
- Optimized Components
- 12V AGM Batteries, Qty (4)
- Alternator upgrade, 200A
- An integrated low voltage Disconnect (LVD)
capability - Fuel fired heater
- Electric A/C or Inverter
- Fuel fired block heater
- In order to meet the CARB 5 minute idling
regulation Cummins will have two available
solutions for ComfortGuard. - Stand Alone Particulate Trap for APU
- Integrated Exhaust, APU exhaust plumbed into
engine exhaust system - Overall APU technology is unchanged from 2007

COMFORTGUARD
CEMS
Shared Technology
- CEMS base model will continue to monitor battery
voltage, engine block and cab temperature. When
it drops below a preset level, staring the engine
when necessary and shutting off once conditions
have been met. - As technology evolves and Hybrid Battery Systems
and Fuel Cells become commercially viable, the
ComfortGuard will move to the right technology to
deliver optimal idle management results. - Cummins Power Generation is already involved in
development of both technologies, through long
range product planning and engineering groups. - CEMS Controls will be capable of managing all
related systems
