How Boron CLS Technology works

Fuel economy: Engine treatment

The energy diagram above shows, that only 12.6 % of the energy, is used to actually move the vehicle, in typical city driving conditions. A very large slice, almost 2/3rd is lost due to engine friction. Boron CLS Bond Technology addresses this and employs nano technology in its deployment in triboapplications that dramatically reduces friction. The super lubricity of the Boron CLS Bond technology offers the following benefits:

• Reduces friction up to 80%• Reduces friction heat 40 – 50%• Reduces wear up to 90%• Reduces maintenance costs up to 50%• Reduces emissions• Increases engine efficiency 5 – 7%• Increases fuel efficiency up to 20%• Rebuild cycles extended 2 – 3 times• Extend oil drain cycle 2+ times.

Fuel economy: Fuel additive

Popular fuel additives today, are largely detergents of various types, which provide improved fuel economy by keeping injectors clean. Boron CLS Bond goes beyond being a mere detergent, its solvency prevents buildup of varnish and other fuel and combustion deposits. The wear protection ensures extension of life of pumps, injectors and valves. Finally, the reduction of emissions means a greener, cleaner environment. Additionally, as the products are ISO 14064 compliant, documenting and registering the reduction in emissions, can result in accruing of tradeable “Carbon Credits.”


A brief summary of product benefits and deliverables for CLS Bond TechnologyPrior to conducting meaningful trials we need a quick look at the expectations from the trials

and these can be summarized by the following:

1. Reduction of emissions. • Measurable - at emission center's – Opacity for Diesel Engines

Suggest we conduct emission test before and immediately after MSET treatment.Implication: Bulk of the emissions is unborn components of combustion. Reduced emissions indicate a more complete combustion and this would generate more power and will manifest itself in improved fuel economy.

2. Fuel economy • Measurable - by compression tests on cylinders.

Suggest we conduct compression tests before and within 2 hrs of Boron MSET treatment.Implication: CLS Bond Technology employs nano technology to fill up asperities on the metallic surface and this ensures complete sealing, thus improving engine efficiency. As a direct result of complete sealing, there is more power available and reflects in improved fuel economy.

3. Extension of oil life • Measurable - by collecting used oil samples for analysis – over a 2 to 6 month

period.

Suggest we collect samples of used oil. First sample – sample of oil collected at, last oil change. Thereafter, collect samples at intervals of 1500 km, 3000 km, 4500 km (or 100 hrs, 150 hrs, 200 hrs, 250 hrs in the case of Gen sets).Track movement of properties of oil for changes in Kin. Vis. @40, Kin. Vis. @100, Flash Point, TBN, TAN, Water (moisture). Implication: Oxidation is a direct result of heat and pressure typical in any engine and all oils oxidize in use. The presence of water/moisture fuels acidity and thereby corrosion of vital components in the engine. CLS Bond technology reduces friction and frictional heat thereby retards oxidation. CLS Bond technology also utilizes moisture, available during the combustion process, to replenish itself. Separately, it boosts TBN and cushions TAN. As a direct result of this oil life can be extended, by as much as twice or more, when monitored employing Oil condition monitoring practice. This means savings in oil costs.

4. Engine longevity

• Measurable - by collecting used oil samples for analysis – over a 2 to 6 month period. Benchmark sample would be the sample collected from the oil last drained.

Suggest we collect samples of used oil. First sample (Benchmark sample) – sample of oil collected at last oil change. Thereafter, collect samples at intervals of 1500 km, 3000 km, 4500 km (or 100 hrs, 150 hrs, 200 hrs, 250 hrs in the case of Gen sets).Track movement of engine wear for metal particles, Fe, Al, Cu, Pb. Cr., and Pentane Insolubles.

Implication: Like oxidation, wear is normal in any engine. The metallic component in an engine is largely made up of Iron (Fe), Aluminum, Copper, Chromium etc.. The engine oil, while circulating round the engine, clears the metallic debris (metallic fines) from the point of wear. A wear metal analysis (of samples collected from time to time) detects these, which are normally in a few parts per million (PPM). When this data is plotted, a trend emerges, and sudden increase in buildup of different metallic debris would indicate probable wear. Machine failure can be predicted by using this Preventive maintenance practice. The super lubricity generated by CLS Bond technology ensures reduction of wear by as much as 90% and reduction of friction by 80% and frictional heat by 40 to 50%. This would indicate longevity of engine, extend engine overhaul / rebuild times 2 to 3 times, reduce downtime and cut maintenance costs drastically. Additionally, the engine would be smoother, with lower vibrations and lesser sound.

Emission protocol:An average of 5 values were considered. The average values were tabulated.

Engine treatment:On 10th Oct 2009, Boron CLS Bond product, Motor Silk Engine Treatment (MSET) was added at a ratio of 10% of Engine Oil sump of 32.0 Lt (MAN) and 28.0 Lt (Nissan Diesel). The engine was run on idle for 45 mins, to enable the Boron CLS Bond Technology to form on the cylinder walls.

Implications of an average 14.9% improvement in Fuel economy and potential for savings at Partas

The improvement in Fuel economy ranges from 9.4 to 19.9 %, with Boron Engine Treatment that increases the fuel costs a mere 0.091 Peso or 0.271%.

The Partas passenger transportation service runs mixed Fleet of 219 buses operating approx. 150,000 to 170,000 km each per year at an average fuel consumption of 2.2 km/Lt.

By the use of Boron CLS Bond Motor Silk Engine Treatment (MSET) Partas can save millions of PHP and reduce Diesel off take by more than a million Lt:

• ROI between 5.13 to 10.85 days for a Boron MSET investment of 1.53 million PHP.

• Save between 51.5 million to 109 million Peso each year.

• Save between 1.59 million to 3.367 million Lt of Diesel each year

Remarks & conclusion on Oil analysis:

The thumb rule for discarding oils (condemning limits) based on physical parameters for use in extreme conditions such as marine/ship applications are as follows:

• Viscosity: Max 25% increase or 20% decrease in KV 100 compared to fresh oil.

• Viscosity: Max 45% increase or 25% decrease in KV 40 compared to fresh oil.

• TBN: Total Base Number Max 50% depletion compared to fresh oil TBN.

• Water: Max 0.3 vol %.

• Insoluble: Max 2. w%

• Flash Point: Min 170 Deg C ( PMCC) or Min 190 deg C (COC)

Values physiochemical properties, of the sample of used oil, analyzed were within the acceptable limits, indicated above, and suitable for further use, if desired.
