So, how again does your wonder valve net a better fuel economy than a stock PCV valve?
|
DynoValve does everything a PCV valve does but better... Being a electronically controlled orifice tuned to the vehicles RPMs, allows the valve to open and allow more unburned gas/unburned hydrocarbons back into the engine... Creating a new source of fuel from the old source... From what I understand.
With the DynoValve installed it allows less or almost no hydrocarbons back into the atmosphere.. or the Catalytic converter. What I was told was with the DynoValve your vehicle could pass smog even without a OEM Catalytic converter. I can imagine finding a OEM Catalytic converter for older cars can start to become a problem if you need one to pass smog.
Taking these unburned hydrocarbons (UHCs)... are the hydrocarbons emitted after petroleum is burned in an engine and allow them to fully burn away will create better emissions... Its not rocket science... you are correct. But the person who invented it is a rocket scientist... And I did look it up... Basically for 40years the PCV has remained relatively the same... You can say the DynoValve is just a better gas trap.

In 1952, Professor A. J. Haagen-Smit, of the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, postulated that unburned hydrocarbons were a primary constituent of smog, and that gasoline powered automobiles were a major source of those hydrocarbons. After some investigation by the GM Research Laboratory (led by Dr. Lloyd L. Withrow), it was discovered in 1958 that the road draft tube was a major source, about half, of the hydrocarbons coming from the automobile. GM's Cadillac Division, which had built many tanks during WWII, recognized that the simple PCV valve could be used to become the first major reduction in automotive hydrocarbon emissions. After confirming the PCV valves' effectiveness at hydrocarbon reduction, GM offered the PCV solution to the entire U.S. automobile industry, royalty free, through its trade association, the Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA). In the absence of any legislated requirement, the AMA members agreed to put it on all California cars voluntarily in 1961, with national application following one year later, in 1962.

Any fuel entering a flame will be reacted. Thus, when unburned fuel is emitted from a combustor, the emission is caused by fuel "avoiding" the flame zones. For example, in piston engines, some of the fuel-air mixture "hides" from the flame in the crevices provided by the piston ring grooves. Further, some regions of the combustion chamber may have a very weak flame, that is, they have either very fuel-lean or very fuel-rich conditions and consequently they have a low combustion temperature.

Most present-day vehicles that run on gasoline are fitted with a "three way" converter, so named because it converts the three main pollutants in automobile exhaust: an oxidising reaction converts carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and a reduction reaction converts oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water (H2O)

Yes... I drive very fast and I was averaging $20 a day in gas... With the DynoValve I was able to get to and from work... and where ever with $15. That calculates a 25% saving for me in dollar value.
Its not rocket science... So what ever name you would like to call it, the dyno kool aid converter works for me.
