Field Case Studies AST - Air Stabilizer Technology

iAST introduced Air Stabilizer Technology Tm of KPILC
Exact Method and Devices are Patent Pending and Propriatary and presented with permission of the owners editorialy on their behalf.
Smart Air
Air is a key component in all internal combustion engines.
Using the motion of gasses at a range of psi rates that pass
miniature battery like metal plates of certain metallurgical
composition, to build up a subtle induced electrostatic field. In
the diesel application, the modifier units offered effectively
changes the physical properties of air yielding practical results
supported by the case studies presented here. The advantages
are 1) more efficient combustion resulting in lower fuel
consumption 2) recycled crankcase oil vapor carbon molecules
binds more completely with the gases and are eliminated more
effectively from the system by re-burning cycle, which begins to
lower the level of damaging carbon deposits in the lubricants.
This electrostatic field reaches optimum level of operation
within a minute after starting and remains at optimum level
regardless of speed RPM, throttling or humidity.
Case studies presented were conducted as a longitudinal

study. All participants are currently still using the units
after 3-5 years from the date of testing.
There is no erosion of materials used in the modifiers,

since it is employed as a true catalyst by definition. The
subtle forces act like gravity to maintain integrity of the
catalytic elements employed.
What we will call introduced Air Stabilization Technology

neutralizes electronic charges in the gases prior to intake,
and eliminates molecular clumping. The molecules have
greater surface area for oxidization during combustion.
Separated molecules have a much greater brisance: a
property of matter, referring to the velocity it transfers
force wave radiation during ignition or combustion.
Due to this speed of combustion, less heat loss occurs in

the generation of power. Less heat also means less
deterioration of the strength of materials used to make the
engine and less vibration from force variance between
cylinder firings.
Less vibration occurs using introduced Air Stability Technology.
Engine vibration contributes to required periodic

overhauling, an expensive solution to extending engine
life: blue print balancing, ft./lb. torque calibration, and
dynamo testing as well as a re-break in period for newly
replaced parts.
After $60,000 overhaul an engine is never considered

equal to a new factory manufactured engine. Manual
disassembly and reassembly during overhaul never results
in an engine equal to original product of manufacture.
A normal accounting life of a diesel is 1 Million Miles ? with

one overhaul to repair cylinder wall and valve damage
caused by scoring from carbon vapor and irregular
combustion.
Installing the units and an oil filter change results in

cleaner oil as lubricants retain their optimum level of
protection, enhanced by the engine running at consistent
temperature ranges from better combustion. Less burning
of parts, seals remain more intact, and cylinder
compression leakage is reduced.
Oil vapor carbon, fuel and re-burned fuel burn at 2x

efficiency from a normal levels.
The computer chip controlling mixture ratios in newer

vehicles is designed to maintain rpm needed to avoid
stalling. At higher rpms the chip maintains that same gas
to fuel ratio. If redesigned to parameters that allow for
leaner mixture, theses modification units will provide the
same power with leaner mixtures. The additional gas only
serves to pollute in excess of what is needed. The levels
that are EPA acceptable can be exceeded by this
technology.
The effective life of the engine would be increased
Less maintenance would be required.
Original torque seating would remain closer to original

specs with less engine vibration.
The technology is observed to cleans existing black

deposits from oil with only a normal filter change
schedule.
Case Studies
CASE 1
Application : DIESEL POWERED WOOD CHIPPER

Purpose : Mechanical pulverization of wood stump, used in
construction excavation for rock breaking.
Maintenance cost : One engine overhaul is normal, costing $60,000+
required during expected engine life.
Engine : Caterpillar 12 cylinder - 900 horsepower.

Use : Large tub grinder, shreds wood debris for export
RPM constant fluctuations of work load from size of debris being
grinded
causes the engine to smoke and operator to burst throttle to
maintain RPM. This occurs under normal conditions, on a thirty
seconds cycle
Engine fuel consumption rate between 27 and 37 gallons per hour.
Fuel replenished using two fuel transport tanks mounted on service
truck,
transport tanks causes service truck to near overload weight level
Test Procedure : Units were installed on engine to stabilize air
intake.
Qualitative Observations:
Operator noticed the engine producing more power

immediately
No reduction in RPM from load fluctuation when processing

large debris
Engine running smoother and quieter.
The smoke emissions reduced 50%
20% less fuel consumed during peak load high fluctuation

period- greater power using less fuel.
Owner Operator was able to remove one of the 2 fuel

transport tanks used daily points to 50% reduction of normal
fuel use daily
The O/O estimated a savings of between 40 gallons to 80

gallons of fuel per day based on 1 week test results This cost
expressed at a mean $2.30 USD / diesel gal translates roughly
to $60 to $100 per day less fuel expense or $360 to $600 a week
in additional cash flow.
Engine starts faster in cold conditions because of increased

viscosity of the cleaner oil providing less drag and guming.
Application : garbage trucks 4 Fords

2 2006 models with the 6.0 liter turbo diesel
1 2009 model using Ford 6.4 liter twin turbo diesel engine.
After installing the modification system,
operators noted an increase in power and a reduction in engine
noise.
2006 models averaged 15% reduction in fuel consumption
2009 using approximately 8% less fuel.
In stop and go use

Regeneration exhaust converter adds fuel into the exhaust to burn
collected contaminants in order to clean the exhaust system every
other day.
The vehicle smokes for several minutes during the regeneration
cycle. After installing the units, the regeneration cycle of the
exhaust no longer emits clouds of smoke
2012 Ford diesel was then outfitted by the same municipal garbage
removal service and the operator noted > 10% reduction in fuel
consumption and a performance increase
Case study Mower Tractor
Turbo charged diesel engine consumes a full tank of fuel every two
days, 37 gallons.
Uses approximately 3 quarts of oil per week and smokes a lot.

After installation of just the crankcase unit improved the engines
fuel consumption by 10%.
That fuel consumption rate was tracked for several months.
Then air modification unit was installed,
The tractor used 25% less fuel.
The operator now mows for three full days on 1 tank of fuel, and a
return trip to the shop for refueling.
Previously, without there was only enough for two days of mowing
with return trip to shop not a given.
The engine smokes less and the oil appears cleaner. Oil consumption
has reduced.
a result of cleaning carbon from rings and valves and smoother
combustion.
Over three years since the installation air and crankcase vent units
find the mechanics are impressed with the response of the 966 loader
because of its smoke reduction, easier starting and performance
improvement.
The engines maintenance requirement is reduced,
The mower tractor demonstrated fuel savings smoke reduction and
quieter noise levels.
Application CEMENT PLANT

10 mixer trucks,
two gravel trucks and
two loaders.
Gravel truck uses a Caterpillar engine and hauls gravel from the
gravel pit to the plant. 8 loads per day .
The driver uses approximately 9.25 gallons per trip.
Same driver uses only 7 gallons per trip,
after units were installed,

A savings of approximately 25% by using only 75.6 % of the 9.25
gallons.
The company decided to have technology installed on all of their
trucks.
Operators purchased units for their
personal vehicles. \
The CAT loader gravel truck has
intermittent use and variable load
characteristics so no typical fuel
consumption data was available.
Some days it will idle for hours

other days it heavily loaded
hauling gravel.
Operator noted an increase in power when climbing out of the
gravel pit when heavily loaded.
smoke observed to reduce 50%
The company ordered units for other plants, and those truck
operators ordered units for their personal vehicles.

Several other divisions are now enjoying new income streams as

a result of lower fuel expense of varying and indeterminable
amounts.
APPLICATION Sand and Gravel

aggregate delivery
four Cat loaders,
two gravel trucks,
a dump truck,
a grader,
three pickups
an excavator.
All outfitted with air, crankcase and fuel cell units.
Engines previously had open to atmosphere crankcase vents, now
enclosed and recycled back into the engines induction tubing.
972 Cat loader had been problematic . The oversized bucket caused
smoking considerably, ran too hot and used oil at an alarming rate,
2 QTS s per day.
After fitting with air, fuel and crankcase units

smoke emissions were reduced appr, 60%.
stopped using large quantities of oil. Down to 1 QT a week from 2

QTS a day.
The yearly expense savings for that machine is 468 quarts of oil per
year. What is that $1200 /year discounted from $3/quart for oil ?
Plus its an amazing reduction without any other additives at all
used.
The Cat 980 loader had 10% greater productivity according to
operator observations : faster acceleration, more torque And overall
greater work potential.
Older gravel truck with a 300 hp. Cat engine. struggled up the hills
and only maintained 20 Kms per hour in 2nd gear and smokes
significantly.
After installing units the older truck produces no visible smoke

maintain 27 Kms per hour in 3rd gear when climbing
reduced its time en route by several minutes per trip
increase in productivity.
The grader is a Cummins engine demonstrated similar performance
improvements
It has been over two years since the installation and the engines
have maintained improved levels of operation.
The Cat 972 loaders oil savings is a direct result of the units being
installed 1 QT a week instead of 10 QTS on a 5 day work week.
APPLICATION Tug Boat

This company purchased a crankcase unit, air unit, and fuel cell
For a Detroit Diesel 12 cylinder engine.
The Detroit Diesel v-12 engine
well used,
had smoke emissions,
significant blow-by emissions
fuel consumption of 15 gallons / hr
The captain was surprised at the improvement in the tugboat
acceleration. Boat was more maneuverable. noted a reduction in
visable exhaust emissions.
Engineer noticed

engine room more comfortable.
Fully enclosing the crankcase vent improved crew environment
There is no maintenance required of this enclosure unit.
(toxicity of open vented crankcase emissions make working near
running engines dangerous from fume inhalation )
Engine uses 10 gallons per hour. 5 Gallons less per hour.

Is that $10 / per hour @ $2/gal diesel fuel
x 24 hour day ? Over $240 a day in fuel savings for a vehicle
under power 24/7
or $1680 per week. (Unknown what average operational hours
are per week ).
The engine has several thousand hours of use since the installation 3
years ago and the captain and crew continue to experience these
very impressive results.
APPLICATION Saw mill

Cat loaders,

Before intalling units
frequent maintenance issues

oil consumption issues
excessive emissions
power loss,
engines with factory recycled crankcase emissions had carbon
contamination in lubricants
Although they are environmentally friendlier, recycling emissions
without a catalyst usually causes concern of excessive carbon
contamination. Engines will often start using oil because of ring
sticking.
The two loaders and a number of forklifts were fitted with air, fuel
and crankcase units.
Intial follow-up reports by mechanics seem uneventful.
Then one mechanic observed many changes over the following two
years.
The engines stopped using as much oil,
smoke emissions were reduced
engines became significantly smoother and quieter.

discovered the engine oil, on all of these machines, stayed cleaner.
it was to clean his hands and clothing of used oil when servicing
these engines. This indicates a significant reduction in partially
combusted carbon in the oil, a result of ring decontamination and
improved, cleaner combustion.
The mechanic is so impressed he has obtained catalyst units for his
own vehicle and has recommended this technology to several
companies.
APPLICATION : Commercial Fishing Boat

In November 2012 fishing boat was retrofitted with the units

The owner had been encouraged to consider enclosing the

crankcase vents of the main engine and generator because of
the severe toxicity of the engine room environment.
toxic oil vapors made breathing difficult,
formed an oily residue on everything in the engine room
The floors became dangerously slick between regular
scrubbing
air filters on the engines required dilligent attention
noise and vibration contributed environmental stress
for workers
Units were installed on the two engines

The crankcase vents enclosed
Engines ran smoother and quieter
( the owner/operator could now use the engine room as a
library)
After 2013 complete season, O/O couldnt believe how much
cleaner and more comfortable the engine room became.
The routine cleaning of floors and equipment of condensed
oil sludge was no longer necessary.
As predicted the engine oil stayed much cleaner, the engines

smoked less, and performed better.
Fuel savings were not previously well known because of many
variables
The owner/operator recommends that other fisherman
retrofit their vessels wih the units.
Case Study
APPLICATION Commercial Shrimp Boat

Fuel consumption was well known
Air, fuel and crankcase emissions catalysts were installed in
April 2013,
After install the engine produced almost zero smoke

emissions. even when cold.
The first trip realized a 15% decrease in fuel consumption
over best figures previously recorded for the vessel.
Comparing the average he was saving well over 20%.
engine ran smoother and he was impressed.
During fishing operations vessel experienced 10% fuel
savings.
Now enclosed crankcase vent system has no maintenance
requirements saving the time and effort normally required
to maintain sludge
oil stays cleaner, which again, is unheard when crankcase
vents are open
Machine Shop
To offer a valid unbiased opinion on the functional

characteristics of the technology, the owner of A MACHINE
shop, WITH significant experience in evaluating an engines
operating characteristics
with having over 30 years of experience
was introduced to the technology
after only a brief test drive of his own diesel vehicle, he was
impressed
He was able to quickly identify nearly every change to the

engines operational differences.
throttle sensitivity, acceleration characteristics, torque,

smoke, vibration, sound differences, turbo boost differences,
starting characteristics, temperature changes and engine
braking characteristics, were identified
The machine shop owner has outfitted all of his vehicles and
equipment with the technology
reported extended oil changes without any oil pressure loss
or carbon contamination.
previously difficult to start or smoked excessively are now
performing better than when they were new
diesel powered welder is quieter and no longer vibrates.
truck no longer smokes and is quieter.
forklifts no longer smoke and start immediately, even
after sitting dormant for long periods in cold weather.
In his experience he has never seen technology that can

accomplish such a vast array of improvements.
The devices are easy to install, require no maintenance and
will never wear out
He recommended this technology to everyone. As a result of

his recommendations the innovator was able to obtain cash
paying customers for the case studies presented of this
technology, adding further credibility to the evidence
presented in the case studies.
He believes that this technology should be on every engine to
eliminate emissions problems, improve work production and
significantly extend the operational life of the engine.
Tub Grinder
A 30 year old tub grinder with a 12 cylinder Cat engine

engine had two separate turbochargers, air intake systems

and crankcase vents
well worn from many years of commercial grinding
operations.
Needed overhaul
It ran hot smoked and vibrated
Open crankcase vents emitted oil laden smoke and
contaminated the air filters
Fuel consumption was not calculated because of load

differences and erratic fueling procedures.
The operator tried preserving the life of the engine by trying

not to overwork it. Tight job schedules and tough loading
conditions make this difficult, however.
2 air and crankcase vent units were installed and 1 fuel cell.
After the install the machine was put into service for several
months in remote location
Upon returning to civilization with several hundred

accumulated hours of running time, the operator had these
comments.
The engine became more responsive to load changes,
especially when worked hard.
Normally, he had to monitor the engines temperature
grinding finer material because the cutting teeth are all
participating,
as opposed to chunks of debris which are not evenly
distributed.
This type of load now seemed effortless

with the engines increased torque.
As a result, coolant and exhaust temperatures remained

normal regardless of load.
really impressed the operator because it allowed him to

focus on the work rather than temperature gauges.
engine ran much smoother and quieter.
The oil remained a golden color for considerably longer after

an oil change.
It smoked a lot less, even when the engine was cold.
The air filters remained clean of oily residue because of the

fully enclosed crankcase emissions.
comments on the relief of breathing fresh air when the toxic

crankcase blow-by emissions are no longer vented into the
atmosphere and to the operators lungs.
these toxic emissions are converted into improved engines
performance, reduced maintenance requirements and
extended operating life by reburning enhanced by crankcase
unit.
APPLICATION Excavators
Asked to improve the performance and reliability of a new

excavator with latest emission control equipment and only 150 hours
of use,
It had significant operating problems because of EGR recycling,
retarded timing and strict computer control of engine operations.
A team of engineers flew over from Japan to improve the engines
function but were unsuccessful
Company was forced to accept its operating limitations.
This new equiptment still had crankcase emissions gases vented to
atmosphere because they contaminated the EGR system
disrupting performance and engine longevity.

The oil would quickly become black with carbon sludge as a result.
The units were then installed
Greater power, better starting, smoke reduction and reduced

fuel consumption.
Maintenance of the engine easier because of the reduced
carbon contamination and reduced stress on the engine.
All operators noted the improved air quality in the cab .
Enclosing the crankcase system with added condensing
canister to ensure no condensed liquid emissions would be
recycled.
Engine now ran excellent.
Oil stays clean after 250 hours of use,
it seemed unnecessary to change.
Engine performance is improved,

Temperatures were stabilized
Operator isnt breathing in toxic oil vapors.
This machine has been working in the commercial construction

industry without any issues since the installation of the technology.
