Engine Control Systems
Newmarket, ON
Company Overview
Engine Control Systems (ECS), as the world's leading supplier of exhaust emission control technologies, delivers its products and services to the worldwide highway, mining, construction and industrial markets through its operations in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. ECS has increased its strength by becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Lubrizol Canada Limited, who is the recognized leader in the area of chemical additives for engine lubricants and fuels.
ECS products are installed as standard OEM components on almost every new machine that goes into underground hardrock mining applications.
In highway applications, ECS products are specified and sold through the Detroit Diesel Corporation dealer network in North America for urban bus applications.
ECS product line incorporates Diesel Catalytic Purifiers, Purimufflers, Purifilters, Stainless-steel Silencers, Jet Flow Fume Diluters, and Water Scrubbers. Standard exhaust components are also provided through newly acquired subsidiaries, Shuttleworth Exhaust Systems and Ex-Air (both now known as Engine Control Systems).
ECS introduced the leading-edge 'AZ Diesel Purifier Technology' into the worldwide mining industry. Being the new generation diesel emission control system, AZ Technology is designed to operate even at low exhaust temperatures and reduce up to 50% of the total Particulate Matter (PM) while reducing up to 95% of the Carbon Monoxide (CO) and 90% of the total Hydrocarbon emissions (HC).

AZ Diesel Purifier is designed to control both the gaseous and the particulate emissions. AZ Diesel Purifiers will reduce up to 95% of the Carbon Monoxide (CO) and also up to 90% of the engine out Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions which usually cause a disturbing odor, eye and throat irritations. Besides the gaseous emissions, the AZ diesel purifier is also capable of reducing the overall particulate emissions by 45-50% by oxidizing the Soluble Organic Fraction (SOF) of the Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). The catalyst is designed in a manner, which minimizes the oxidation of nitrous and sulfurous compounds. Another unique feature of the AZ technology is that it is capable of reducing the exhaust emissions at lower exhaust temperatures. This is very important when dealing with the new generation electronic engines that run much cooler than the traditional mechanically governed engines.
Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are designed to remove up to 95% of the total particulate (soot) emitted from a diesel engine. The particulate is simply trapped in the ceramic wall-flow type filter and then burned-off at temperatures as low as 400C. The burning process of the soot is called the 'Regeneration' of the filter. The main condition for the best performance of a particulate filter is that the overall engine-out exhaust temperatures have to be over 400C for at least 25% of the overall operating cycle of the vehicle. This will ensure that the frequent regeneration occurs and the exhaust system backpressure remains at low levels. Prior to the installation of any particulate filter, it is recommended that a temperature tracing be performed to determine whether the vehicle would meet the temperature criteria. If necessary, fuel soluble additives can be coupled with the catalyzed particulate filters to assist in the regeneration process.
Fume Diluters are used when there is a need to dilute the engine out exhaust gases. The dilution rates can be as high as 15: 1. As the exhaust gas passes through the manifold annular gap it accelerates over an aerofoil surface creating an area of low pressure. Then the ambient air is induced into the diluter to mix with the primary exhaust gas. The two gas flows mix together causing a rapid dilution and cooling that results in a jet of diluted air. Although they do not destroy any pollutant, the fume diluters are very efficient in preventing the build up of high concentrations of pollutant in the vicinity of the operator and the vehicle.
Fume diluter dilutes and cools the exhaust gas under any engine condition. Quick dilution of nitric oxide (NO) gas to concentrations less than 30 ppm by volume greatly reduces the risk of oxidation and the resultant formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
Because of the lower exhaust temperature, the risk of igniting inflammable material or increase in the ambient temperature is significantly reduced. Another particular feature of a fume diluter is that the total exhaust flow is projected as far as 50 feet away from the operating site. They require almost no maintenance and have no operating cost.
