Matched Ratings
2007 ISL G Features Stoichiometric EGR – Uses high EGR rates in combustion process in place of excess air (Lean Burn). Oxygen free exhaust – allows for the use of a three way catalyst Three Way Catalyst Exhaust Aftertreatment – simple passive device, highly effective hydrocarbon, CO, and NOx control. – Maintenance Free Improved torque throughout operating range New Electronic Control Module – provides full monitoring and control of engine sensors, fuel system and ignition system Cummins Cooled EGR –lowers in cylinder temperature and reduces oxygen concentration Low installed weight –(1570 lb wet) Highest power to weight ratio in its class
2007 ISL G Features ISL 8.9L Block Major options shared with diesel product Viscous crankshaft vibration damper and related options Smaller frame, water cooled, wastegate turbocharger Open crankcase breather system Dual potentiometer throttle pedal Capable with 2-pin float type coolant level sensor, or AC powered 3-pin coolant sensor Engine Manufacturers Diagnostic (EMD) interface Increased flow water pump
2007 ISL G Features Single 18.7 CFM or twin 30.4 CFM air compressor with 155 ft-lb drive through torque Increased capacity front end accessory belt drive 2007 ISL G fan drive options are shared with the 2007 ISL diesel SAE No 1 and No. 2 aluminum flywheel options available. Starting motor mounted on cold side of the engine. Exhaust manifolds were redesigned to accommodate EGR system Turbo locations limited by diesel hardware availability. – High mount rear out is only option planned for launch. – Other options based on the diesel manifolds will be added when available.
2007 ISL G – Key Benefits Shared block and components with 2007 ISL diesel –Over 80% parts commonality 5% efficiency Improvement Target –Lean Burn vs. Stoich EGR combustion. 34% more clutch engagement torque –Better performance Transit 280 hp rating torque improved to 900 lb-ft (+6%) Rated speed 2200 rpm –(same as diesel)
OEM Availability Working with all traditional OEM’s on the transition from C Plus and L Plus engines. Transit and Refuse OEM’s have pre production engines for installation engineering –280, 300, 320 ratings –Follows the engineering of the ISL diesel –Similar packaging and cooling requirements 6 cylinder, cooled EGR, air to air aftercooling Commercial availability – June 1, 2007
