Diagnostics – Analysis (Real World Example) MH 8, Cummins Diesel, Passive Transmission, regulates to engine reported temperatures on J 1939 Data indicates this cooling circuit is not functioning correctly (EMP cooling system is functioning properly & responding to high temp commands) High coolant temperatures are occurring AND fan speeds are commanded to their maximum value of 5500 rpm Conclusion: High fan speeds are unable to cool effectively Recommendation: check items related to poor radiator coolant flow, poor radiator air flow, or unexpected heat sources Some suggested checks would include: thermostat, coolant pump, coolant level, radiator, transmission torque converter, etc.
TECHNOLOGY: • Gathers engine & temperature data in real time 2150 2200 2110 • Runs data through a proprietary algorithm (J 1939) • Anticipates cooling needs 2080 EMP Software • Reduces temperature spikes 2050 • Patent pending software designed In-house • Commands EMPrecision in exact cooling needed • Lowers current consumption & fan noise 1960 1990
Step Control EMP proprietary software Allows precise control of different diameter fans or components in the system Individual fan control vs outdated ‘bank’ control Allows for faster cab warm-up times Controls heat exchanger fluid temp without over-cooling Maintains engine/transmission optimum temperatures Baffles Patented baffle design prevents fan to fan recirculation Improves engine/transmission startup in cold conditions
Predictive Control Reactive Control kph Predictive Control °C °C Temp Control Tighter temp control, reduced overshoots and undershoots during Benefits to Cooling System • Lower current consumption • Increase fan life- less spikes • Lower fan noise levels • Smart enough to learn & anticipate conditions Benefits to Engine • Less thermal cycles=less metal fatigue • Increase life of: Pistons, Rings & Cylinder liners • Stable coolant temps=Longer coolant life • Possibly increase time between engine rebuilds

Roadeo Training Module The EMP system is part of the national APTA ROADEO There are 6 fault conditions that need to be discovered for each module plus troubleshooting a “no start” on the engine. Each component is given 2 fault conditions (engine, transmission, EMP). The EMP fault conditions range from communication faults to physical failure of components and faults vary from year to year. There is special software that limits fan default speeds for noise reduction. Some faults are induced by utilizing Engineering level access on the service tool. Faults are not to be corrected at anytime. The technician uses the service tool, locates the active fault code, writes the code, locates the troubleshooting guide and writes the definition of the fault code. This is done within a 10 minute time frame for the entire module.
POWER SERIES ALTERNATORS Can be ordered with any cooling system Longer life - Extended Ultra-Life Bearings Lower Noise – Audible and Electrical Remote mount regulator improves life Regulator options Low Temperature- Runs up to 47 C cooler Efficiency highest in market Potential cost savings Compatible with smart regulators Compatible with Litton pulley Rebuildable Most widely used in transit P 450 P 535
Alternators – P 450 & P 535 Typically used for 60 ft buses or extreme conditions
Extended Life Bearings • EMP has co-developed a new extended life bearing – Power 450’s were tested on the EMP Accelerated Life Test. • • • Testing began several years ago The last generation production bearings achieve 5, 000 hours on this test. The “extended life bearings” have surpassed 12, 000 hours and are still running. – Field Testing recently completed at: • • • NYCT Phoenix St. Louis
Power 450 Improved Features • Testing has confirmed, the EMP alternator’s run cooler – A back to back test showed the EMP stator surface temperature to be 47°F cooler than others – EMP has made significant changes to the alternator air inlet system to reduce alternator temperatures. – EMP has implemented a 4” air inlet to maximize the air cooling and worked with OEMs. EMP Alternators are Electrically and Dynamically Balanced; run quieter. The EMP alternators runs smooth with very little vibration. Both the rotor and fan are dynamically balanced. Bench testing confirms the EMP alternators are very smooth and quiet. Noise testing results show a significant decrease in audible noise The ground isolated, noise suppression alternator reduced the electrical noise on the engine ground circuit by 10 X.
Alternator Maintenance Recommendation Every ~3. 5 years with new bearings
