Effective November 15, 2012, the CARB verification expansion allows the Vista to be installed on 1993 through 2010 model year engines from 2.7 to 13 liters having a power range of 100 to 450 Horsepower.
The Vista is verified as a CARB Level 3+ system, meaning it has successfully demonstrated diesel particulate matter (PM) emission reductions of greater than 85 percent while meeting the NO2 emission standard. The Vista has passed stringent performance and reliability testing and is compliant with CARB verification requirements which are also recognized by the US EPA. The verification makes the Vista eligible for regulatory and incentive programs such as the CARB Fleet Rules, EPA DERA funding and Federal CMAQ programs.
“The expansion of the Vista control group demonstrates Cleaire’s commitment to developing and improving our innovative, reliable, and cost-effective diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology for the diesel engine retrofit market,” said Gale Plummer, CEO. “While passive DPF systems are a good fit for certain applications, the Vista can be more broadly applied and is more tolerant of engines that may be emitting at higher levels than when they were new.”
“Based on a patented off-line burner, the Vista provides a very reliable means to ensure the high levels of particulate matter captured by the filter are safely regenerated. In addition to the engine group expansion including the newer EGR engines, we’ve incorporated some product refinements to improve the reliability, user friendliness, and to reduce power consumption,” said Dr. Brad Edgar, President and Chief Technical Officer. “This active design is ideally suited for diesel engines operating with very cold duty cycles and/or highly variable duty cycles.”
