Ajax Emissions
Challenges: Solved.
Reduce emissions without jeopardizing your Ajax
engine’s low maintenance and easy operation.
GE’s solutions work alone or in combination to
help engines meet local regulations in just about
any environment.
Combustion Efficiency Solutions
Ajax pre-combustion chambers greatly reduce NOx and improve
fuel economy, while the resulting smoother combustion leads to
reduced misfires and maintenance costs.
A pre-combustion chamber acts as a high energy ignition system –
igniting a fuel-rich mixture in a cavity outside of the power cylinder
and forcing it into the power cylinder while still burning. The result
is a much more complete combustion of the lean fuel mixture in the
power cylinder.
Depending on the Ajax engine model being upgraded, customers
will need the Low Emission (LE) Conversion Kit or the Ajax Screw-in
Pre-combustion Chamber.
Screw-in Pre-combustion Chamber
The screw-in pre-combustion chamber simply screws into the
existing power head through the spark plug hole – in most cases, no
modifications or new power parts are needed. Currently available
for 12" through 13¼" power cylinder bore sizes.
Features
• Water cooled, self contained water jacket
• Replaceable O-ring seals
• Fuel check valve
• Fuel orifice nozzle
• Advanced high-temperature materials
Ajax LE Conversion Kit
The LE conversion kit is a “matched set” of power-end components
and generally includes the power cylinder (15" bore only), power
piston, and power cylinder head.
An LE conversion kit can easily be installed during a scheduled
maintenance period. Ajax service representatives and distributors
can perform the work for you, or your own maintenance people
can do the conversion following our guide book. The conversion
generally requires one day per power cylinder.
Exhaust Optimization Solutions
Ajax expansion chambers and catalytic converters offer improved
emissions with exhaust optimization.
Exhaust Expansion Chambers
The Ajax exhaust expansion chamber uses exhaust pulsations to
optimize the scavenging of the power cylinders while providing
substantial increases in the mass of fresh air that is trapped inside
the cylinders. The expansion chamber can be supplied as original
equipment or can easily be retrofitted to existing installations.
This method of exhaust emissions reduction does not rely on any
moving mechanical devices nor does it require system adjustments
and maintenance to achieve the emissions reduction.
Oxidizing Catalytic Converter
The Ajax oxidizing catalytic converter is designed to meet the new
environmental guidelines for 2-stroke, lean-burn (2SLB) gas engines.
As a result of an exhaustive research and development program,
the converter is now available for new units as well as retrofit
applications. Patent pending.
• One element per power cylinder
• System of internal baffles and pipes designed to silence
exhaust and protect the catalyst element
• Catalyst elements in retainer rack
• Continuous O-ring seal
• Can be utilized on any fuel injected Ajax
The length and shape of the pipes controls the process of scavenging and
trapping fresh air in the power cylinders.
This tuned exhaust system features diverging and converging sections
of pipe.
