THE PRODUCT
"One Time Metal Treatment"
|
|
Greenquest Corporation is proud to offer the Enviro-Save Metal Treatment which is a proprietary
product that imparts an ultra-low friction property to the bearing surfaces of all moving parts in engines and machinery.
The treatment becomes resident in the surface asperity.
All Enviro-Save products are thoroughly researched and technically formulated to provide the safest and most compatible
treatment for each type of component being treated. We believe that today's lubricants are sophisticated products which create an optimum
anti-friction environment within the performance limits of any separately applied medium. However, it is still possible to obtain extra
benefits in the sphere of friction reduction by changing the nature of the bearing surface. This is how one application of Enviro-Save
Metal Treatment achieves reductions in friction and wear. Oil sampling before and after treatment will show reductions in wear-metal
content, and a 50 % reduction in wear rates is common. Treated engines also show reduced sludge and carbon build-up.
Enviro-Save products are not "oil additives," which by design alter the characteristics of the lubricant (oil or
grease); and even though the engine's oil and fuel are used to transport the Enviro-Save Metal Treatment to all bearing surfaces, Enviro-Save
products have no effect on these fluids by way of altering their characteristics.
Unlike oil additives, Enviro-Save Metal Treatment requirements are based on the surface area to be treated, not the oil
system capacity. In the case of any engine, experience has shown this to be related to the cubic displacement.
REDUCED EMISSIONS
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment reduces exhaust
emissions by lowering fuel consumption, improving combustion and burning less oil.
Experience with this type of product shows that emission reductions as high as 50% in hydrocarbons and 30% in carbon
dioxide can be achieved depending on the mechanical condition of the engine before treatment.
FUEL SAVINGS
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment reduces fuel
consumption. Test results on cars treated with the Powertrain Protection Kit have shown reductions in fuel consumption of 10%, some higher;
new engines will return the lowest figures because they will still be operating near maximum cylinder efficiency. Older engines will
exhibit the highest benefit as the treatment restores lost cylinder efficiency.
Fuel savings depend on how the vehicle is driven. For example, if you continue to drive at your normal pace, you
will save fuel due to the higher mechanical efficiency of the vehicle. However, a driver who takes advantage of the improved performance of
the powertrain for faster acceleration and/or speed, will not see the same fuel savings. Such is the experience of the race driver, who
will be only too happy to use the faster acceleration.
REDUCED WEAR/LONGER LIFE
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment reduces wear.
A 50% reduction in wear rates is common, but this can vary with service hours/distance on the unit treated. Oil sampling before and after
treatment will show the reduction in wear-metal content by analysis.
(To obtain truly comparative results, it is very important to be consistent in the service hours/mileage on the sample
oil and in the method of extracting the oil sample. The best method for obtaining true, representative samples is to always take them when
the oil is hot and the engine is running; this requires a special sampling valve to be fitted in an oil pressure point, or the use of a portable
sampling pump for extracting directly from the sump via the dipstick tube).
INCREASED HORSEPOWER/PERFORMANCE
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment improves power
output from engines in two ways: 1) by reducing friction horsepower and 2) by restoring engine output through recovery of compression.
Dynamometer tests performed by race car owners after treatment confirm that an increase of 10% in horsepower is
common.
As operating time increases on engines, wear particles and dirt such as carbon, varnish and dust, accumulate on
cylinder walls, rings and ring grooves. This will eventually lead to blowby and reduced compressions.
Enviro-Save Engine Treatment has a very effective cleanser which will clean out and disperse these deposits.
As the ring grooves are cleaned and the treatment progresses, blowby is reduced, and compression restored or normalized. Balanced
compressions improve efficiency.
Enviro-Save Engine Treatment often shows its effect by an increase in idle RPM; this is due to less friction
throughout the engine, and normalized compression. However, higher idle RPM will normally only be experienced on carburetor-equipped
engines. On fuel-injected diesel and gas engines, the governor or computer controls idle speed at a fixed RPM.
LOWER OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment reduces
the heat passing into the cooling system due to lower cylinder wall friction and less fuel being
burned.
Similarly, by friction reduction it reduces the heat passing into the lubricating oil, as indicated by temperature
gauges in transmissions, gears, bearing housings and air-cooled engines.
However, in engines and machinery where the coolant and/or the lubricating oil temperature is thermostatically
controlled, it is necessary to record the temperature-rise across each system in order to assess friction heat reduction.
DRY START PROTECTION
The highest wear rates in engines occur
during cold start-up and during the first few minutes of running. In this period over 80% of wear takes place, until lubricating oil has
reached the extremities of the lubricating system. However, Enviro-Save Metal Treatment provides a resident dry lubricant on all bearing
surfaces, ensuring lubrication and protection at all times which reduces wear rates considerably.
REDUCED OIL CONSUMPTION
Enviro-Save Engine Treatment normally
reduces oil consumption, sometimes by as much as 50%. However, this benefit would not normally be felt in a previously overheated or high
wear engine where oil consumption is due to excessive clearances at piston rings, and valve seals or other mechanical damage.
Enviro-Save Engine Treatment is not a "cure-all-in-a-can."
Normal oil consumption takes place due to oil burning. This occurs mainly at the upper end of the cylinder
when oil trapped in the pore structure of the cylinder walls and around the upper piston rings and grooves is exposed to the heat from
combustion.
When the Enviro-Save Engine Treatment is established, the oil-retaining porous surface finish has become a
resin-filled structure offering a "smooth" surface with low oil retention thus presenting less oil to combustion heat.
Oil consumption is also improved by the release of sticking piston rings, achieved by the cleaning action of the
treatment.
STORAGE/CORROSION PROTECTION
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment provides
protection, beyond most lubricants, against corrosion damage on bearing surfaces caused by moisture, air or acids. It provides excellent
off-season protection where equipment is idle or stored for long periods.
EASIER STARTING
Enviro-Save Engine Treatment will enable
an engine to turn over more easily and faster. The starter will use less cranking power thus benefiting the starter motor, battery and
alternator, especially in cold climates.
SMOOTHER/QUIETER OPERATION
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment contributes
to smoother-running equipment. Reduction of friction and normalizing of compression results in the smoothing out of the mechanical motions
in machinery and reciprocating engines. This smoothing out signifies a reduction in the vibrations which can be an insidious cause of
component wear/failure.
Enviro-Save Metal Treatment reduces noise levels by reducing vibration. In industrial applications this
feature could be beneficial to the workplace environment.
EASIER GEAR SHIFTING
Enviro-Save Gear Treatment will enhance
the shifting of manual gears which are hard or sticky to operate; freedom of shifting improves with operating time, and transmissions operate
cooler and quieter.
