Introduction

Etorus Fuel amd Emmisions Unit
ETORUS Fuel and Emission System

The Etorus FE (Fuel & Emissions System) is a pre-combustion, in-line fuel consumption and emissions reduction system. A Fifth generation, patented device developed over the course of two decades, the Etorus FE device has been tested by the leading independent research facilities in the U.S. and abroad including EPA, CARB and U.S. military recognized laboratories.

Unmatched by any other pre-combustion technology available today the Etorus FE is the Industry’s first comprehensively tested pre-combustion catalytic technology - Proven by the U.S. government to increase fuel efficiency. Using unique, patented technology, Etorus FE conditions fuel through a series of complementary processes that result in a more complete fuel burn in any diesel or biodiesel application:

- Creating more power using less fuel. This process also creates many complimentary features.
- Significantly reducing dangerous emissions, including soot, particulates, total hydrocarbons, volatile organics and greenhouse gases such as NOX, CO2 and CO
- Proven to reduce fuel consumption by 4-10% in well maintained engines that utilize a high grade of fuel, and up to 20% in less well maintained engines that utilize a lower grade of fuel - For heavy diesel users, these percentages can amount to millions of dollars in reduced operating costs per year as well as compliment the environment

Also, in the United States. due to these proven results the Etorus FE is an authorised Carbon Credit Generating product.

How It Works

Fuel molecules have a tendency to cluster together. At the point of combustion, the outer fuel molecules protect the inner molecules from being exposed to oxygen, causing some of the inner molecules to go unburned.  This process both reduces fuel efficiency and increases the amount of unburned fuel being blown out of the engine’s exhaust as polluting emissions.

The Etorus FE’s patented technology alters this process.  Prior to combustion, fuel passes through the Etorus FE, which is installed on the fuel line.  When fuel passes through the device, reactions occur between the fuel and the Etorus FE’s patented combination of metals and rare earth elements. These reactions separate the clustered fuel molecules so that a greater surface area is exposed to oxygen at the point of combustion.

A fitting comparison would be placing a piece of charcoal into a furnace for 30seconds. As the charcoal burns, oxygen surrounds the outside of the charcoal and cannot penetrate the inside, allowing only the outer region to burn.  Alternatively, if the samepiece of charcoal were crushed into a powder and spreadout into the furnace for 30 seconds, more of the surface of the charcoal would be exposed to oxygen and a larger percentage of the charcoal would be burned.  In very basic terms, this is what happens as fuel passes through the Etorus FE.  Clustered fuel molecules are separated so that more oxygen can cover a greater surface area of the fuel molecules at the point of combustion.

 

As more fuel is burned, more energy is created and less unburned fuel is blown out of the exhaust as emissions.  A more efficient burn results in improved fuel consumption and less fuel required to generate horsepower.  A cleaner burn results in decreased emissions, improved oil chemistry, and cleaner engine parts, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements. Installation of the device, which is non-intrusive and thus does not affect engine warranties, is an extremely simple process for which we provide extensive customer support, with installation times typically ranging from 30 to 60 minutes.

 

ETORUS FE - Working Diagram

 

Definition: Fuel & Emission system which pre-treats fuel before combustion to achieve a better burn.

Type: An in-line pre-combustion heterogeneous or contact catalyst(*) that conditions the fuel through a series of complementary processes.

Composition: Perovskites (based upon titanates), Zeolites (Molecular sieves with very high surface area), pillared clays and other proprietary metal compounds.

Processes: Reduced fuel density vapors and release of hydrogen

 

(*) Any substance that changes the rate of a reaction without itself being changed or consumed in the reaction.

 

- Fuel passes over polymeric matrix containing proprietary catalytic materials.

Picture1

 

- Tortuous Path: creating turbulent flow, which ensures very good repetitive contact with the catalytic surface, promoting development of lower fuel vapor density.

Picture2

- Generation of electrical charge, EMF occurs within the fuel from the metals within the catalytic device promoting polarization and separation of fuel droplets creating additional lowering of fuel vapor density for a better combustion and reduced soot formation.

 

Release of minute amounts of Hydrogen Gas

Picture3 Picture4

- These conditions allow for a change in the fuel composition into a different proportion of Specific Hydrocarbons, i.e aliphatics and aromatics

 

Picture5 Picture6

- All of the above conditions allow for a more complete and efficient combustion when the fuel passes into the combustion chamber.

Picture07 Picture8

- After passing over the catalyst, the proportion of aliphatics and aromatics changes into a mixture of species that is more conducive to effective combustion. This alteration occurs along with the concurrent release of Hydrogen Gas, which is another component that aids in a more effective combustion process.

Picture9 Picture10

- The Etorus FE Technology enhances the lowering of vapor fuel density leading to a better burn when molecules enter combustion chamber because of increased surface area.

 

Picture11

- Lower fuel density also occurs because an EMF charge is placed on the fuel causing some polarization of the actual fuel droplet.

Picture12

 

 

- All of the above leads to better atomization of the fuel as it enters the combustion chamber.

ETORUS FEh....coming very soon - watch this space!!!

The Etorus FEh (Fuel & Emissions Hydrogen Device) is a proprietary, safe and effective on-board, on-demand hydrogen generation technology– Complementary to the Etorus FE.

Where the Etorus FE treats fuel prior to combustion, the Etorus FEh injects hydrogen into the air mixture of an engine, which impacts the point of combustion. Through electrolysis, the Etorus FEh separates water into hydrogen and oxygen, on-demand, and injects the hydrogeninto the combustion chamber of an engine. The enriched air/fuel mixture burns more quickly, efficiently and completely, which significantly enhances thecombustion process - Hydrogen burns much faster than fuel, but it also burns at a lower temperature, which means that engines utilizingthe Etorus FEh will run cooler, cleaner, quieter and smoother while extracting more useful energy.
The Etorus FEh Works with any fossil fuel, including gasoline, diesel and biodiesel and is a completely safe and reliable process that only generates hydrogen and oxygen while the engine is running, anddoes not store any gas on-board– Unmatched by any other hydrogen-based technology available today

While the process of electrolysis has been utilized since the early 20th century, and its benefits on fuel efficiency researched and demonstrated since the mid-1970s, it has not proven to be effective enough on its own, until now. The Etorus FEh utilizes a proprietary electrolyte formula, tested and perfected over the past five years, which optimizes the ratio of pure hydrogen and fuel in an engine, allowing for a substantially improved electrolysis process making it by far the most efficient and effective technology of its kind, leading to drastic reductions in fuel consumption and emissions

The Etorus FEh is easy to install and requires virtually no maintenance– Extremely simple periodic replenishment of electrolyte solution is all that is required. The device has no moving parts, which creates a very low failure risk and the device works with any engine, including those powered by gasoline, diesel and biodiesel.

Positive Results

As the Etorus FE consistently provides exceptional benefits to our customers, the feedback we receive is extremely positive and as a result, our user base continues to grow.
Jeff Irvin, President of ITL:
“Sure, I was skeptical when I first heard about reduced fuel consumptions systems. There are a lot of snake oil salespeople out there right now. In the past 25 years, I’ve probably met every one. I’ve even wasted some time and money trying their products. But the Etorus FE really works. The proof is in the numbers.” ITL’s fuel savings through May 2007 were 10.81%.
Jeff Cornish, CEO of PTS:
“We are particularly pleased with the Etorus Pay Per Save™ Program, which allows us to immediately install the technology and realize fuel savings without any associated capital expenditure or risk, while reducing our emissions in the process,” said Jeff Cornish, the chief executive officer of Performance Transportation Services, Inc., North America's second largest transporter of new automobiles, sport utility vehicles and light trucks located in Allen Park,
MI. “We first installed the Etorus FE in 2006, and our fuel savings, which are monitored by an independent company, continue to be exceptional.”
Cameron Druyor, Equipment Manager of Rogers Group:
“I had an L330D Volvo wheel loader, which is already a pretty fuel-efficient machine, and I saw a 6% improvement. The greatest reduction, 32%, was on a Caterpillar 980C wheel loader. It’s pretty easy to do the math. There’s a 3309 Terex haul truck that went from 12.8 gallons per hour down to 10.” "First and foremost, we are interested in the health of our employees. If we get a dollar savings, that's great. We're after trying to reduce our emissions as much as possible. They (the installed devices) really do seem to help."
Steve Hansen, Vice President of Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport:
“I was skeptical at the beginning about the device and the program, but the numbers are really working out,” said Steve Hansen, vice president of Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport Inc., a Signal Hill, California trucking company with about 220 rigs in its fleet. He reported that the company’s rigs installed with the Etorus FE have been saving between 3% and 4.5% on fuel costs since January 2007. Los Angeles Business Journal “When Shraga Agam and Gil Bordoley got their hands on what they hoped would be the next big thing in fuel-saving technology, they took a decidedly unusual marketing tack: give the product away at no cost to consumers. Now, after just about a year on the market, their Encino company, Etorus, Inc., has distributed thousands of its in-line fuel catalysts to new customers.”
California Green Solutions:
“Not only does Etorus' system save fuel and emissions – but they provide a safer work environment and that translates into better bottom-line results.”
Rock Products:
“Some equipment managers are breathing easy about their rate of diesel consumption after equipping engines with a new fuel catalyst. The catalyst helps diesel fuel systems burn diesel more efficiently, decreasing consumption and emissions. And with this year’s rise in fuel prices, every drop counts.”

FAQ

What does the Etorus FE do?
The Etorus FE is an in-line fuel consumption and emissions reduction device. Inside the device, the patented technology consists of metals and rare earth elements through which fuel passes prior to combustion. A number of reactions occur simultaneously, resulting in a more complete burn of the fuel, which in turn creates more power using less fuel while reducing greenhouse gases and other harmful air emissions. The positive benefits of the Etorus FE include greater range per tank of fuel, greater power per load, increased horsepower, reduced fuel costs, reduced engine maintenance costs, extended engine life and reduced oil change frequency.

What causes black smoke and exhaust pollution?
The primary cause is unburned fuel being blown out of the exhaust. The Etorus FE provides for a more complete fuel burn, resulting in less unburned fuel and thus a reduction in black smoke and exhaust pollution.

How much black smoke and exhaust pollution will I reduce?
Up to 55%.

What effect does the Etorus FE have on emissions?
The device has been tested at EPA and CARB recognized labs and has been shown to significantly reduce harmful emissions of all types, including soot, particulates, and greenhouse gases.

How much fuel will I save?
The Etorus FE has been proven to reduce fuel consumption by up to 10% in well maintained engines that utilize a high grade of fuel, and up to 20% in less well maintained engines that utilize a lower grade of fuel.

How does the Etorus FE give an engine more power?
By conditioning the fuel to produce a more energetic mixture of fuel components, which enables the fuel to burn more completely and combust with more energy.

How does the Etorus FE protect my engine and prolong engine life?
In a typical engine, approximately 30% of the exhaust (fuel soot) from the combustion chamber is trapped in the engine's crankcase.  This contaminates the oil in the engine, and is the main cause of oil breakdown.  Oil analysis tests have proven that by using the Etorus FE, fuel soot levels are substantially reduced, thus keeping the oil cleaner, protecting the engine and prolonging engine life.

How does the Etorus FE keep my injectors cleaner?
The device breaks the fuel down into exceedingly fine mist by reducing its surface tension, which results in an improved fuel burn that works to clean the fuel line and injectors.

How long does it take for the Etorus FE to clean out my injectors?
Normally, approximately 200 hours (or 10,000 miles) of normal operation under load will significantly clean injectors; 300 hours of operation will then generally achieve the maximum clean-out benefit. After that, the device will continue to keep the injectors and fuel system constantly clean while the engine is running.

What is the Etorus FE made of?
The device is composed of a patented combination of rare earth elements and various "active" metals housed in a heavy gauge metal cylinder. Composition: Perovskites (based upon Titanates), Zeolites (Molecular sieves with very high surface area), Pillarded clays and other proprietary metal compunds. The Etorus FE DOES NOT CONTAIN Tin, Lead, Platinum, Palladium or Magnets.

How big is the Etorus FE?
The specific size employed depends on the engine. Sizes range from 10" to 16" in length and from 1.5" to 3" in diameter. Weights vary by size, with the typical device weighing roughly 3 pounds. The device comes with hydraulic fittings.

Where is the Etorus FE installed?
The device is installed on the last single fitting on the fuel line prior to the location where the fuel enters the engine block. On different engines, the installation will be in slightly different locations. We recommend the installation to be as close as possible to the point of combustion.

Why must the Etorus FE be as close as possible to the injectors?
Once fuel passes through the device, it is in a temporarily activated state, which allows it to be modified. Soon after exiting the device, this activated state is lost. Therefore, the device should be installed on the last single fitting on the fuel line prior to the location where the fuel enters the engine block.

Is the Etorus FE bi-directional?
Yes. When you install the device, you can connect the supply line at either side (flow direction does not matter).

How long does the Etorus FE take to install?
Installation is a very simple process for which Etorus provides extensive support. Installation times typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on accessibility to the point of installation and the configuration of the required fittings.

Will installing the Etorus FE void my engine warranty?
No. Installation of the Etorus FE is non-intrusive and thus does NOT affect the OEM engine warranty. In fact, Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel and International have all issued letters verifying that the use of the device does not void their warranties. (US based OEM's)

Will the Etorus FE restrict fuel flow?
No.

How many gallons per hour flow through the Etorus FE device?
Up to 600 gallons of fuel per hour with the JIC10 fitting provided. Larger diameter units can accommodate larger flows.

How long will the Etorus FE last?
The Etorus FE is constructed of heavy-gauge metal and has no moving parts. There have been installations in the field that have been in operation for over 10 years. The device comes with a 2-year limited warranty, with an optional extended warranty available.

Does the Etorus FE need to be serviced?
No. The device has no moving parts, and once it is properly installed, there is no further maintenance required. A periodic inspection of the fuel line is recommended, along with a visual inspection of the device every 90 days to ensure that it remains securely mounted and is not rubbing or vibrating against any metal edges on the engine. In addition, the fittings should be periodically checked for tightness.

Can I take the Etorus FE off of one engine and use it on another engine?
Yes.

On what engine does the Etorus FE work best?
Noteworthy improvements occur on both newer, electronically injected engines as well as older, mechanically injected engines. The most significant improvements have occurred on older, less well maintained engines utilizing a lower grade of fuel.

Does the Etorus FE work with biodiesel?
Yes. The Etorus FE is very complementary to biodiesel, actually helping to mitigate or reverse some of its negative effects (including reduced fuel efficiency, reduced horsepower, and increased NOx emissions).

Is the Etorus FE a fuel additive?
No. Additives represent an ongoing expense for their users and require human intervention, which implies that they are both labor intensive and prone to human errors that could diminish their effectiveness and even damage the engine. Further, fuel additives have been proven to pollute ground water.

Does the Etorus FE contain or utilize magnets?
No. Magnetic devices typically lack long-lasting effects on fuel efficiency, have little or no effect on NOx emissions, and require periodic replacement and thus recurring costs.
Is the Etorus FE registered with C.A.R.B (the California Air Resources Board)?
Yes. The California Air Resources Board has issued an executive order permitting the device to be installed on all California vehicles (#D394-2).

How soon will I see results from the Etorus FE?
The device will start working as soon as it is installed, but will not show maximum benefits until the engine has operated for approximately 200 hours under load (or 10,000 miles). This is because the device-treated fuel needs time to run through the fuel system's injectors in order to clean out varnishes, gum deposits and built-up carbon that have accumulated in the cylinders over time from untreated fuel. On new engines the maximum benefits will be seen after 2000 hours or 100,000 miles.
e.g Say a normal engine loses 2% of efficiency every year, by the 5th year it is down to 90% of original efficiency. If you install the Etorus FE, it will climb back to say 94-95%.  If you install Etorus FE on a new engine it will reach inefficiency of 94% after  5 years (never going down to 90%)  That is why we say it will be difficult to see the contribution in the first  1-2 years (2000 hours) in a new engine because the Etorus FE is causing the engine to deteriorate much slower. So, essentially the Etorus FE is maintaining the maximum efficency for the engine for longer.

Can I paint or polish the Etorus FE?
No. The pores in the metal housing need to be left open to breathe, or the device will not work as effectively.

Can the Etorus FE be installed vertically instead of horizontally?
It is recommended to install the device horizontally whenever possible. However, some installations may require some degree of a vertical angle, which is permissible, as long as the device is slanted in a downward angle towards the injector port.
