SwRI's ECTO-Lab expands, supports EPA Cleaner Trucks Initiative

(Southwest Research Institute) SwRI has added two test stands to its Exhaust Composition Transient Operation Laboratory -- ECTO-Lab ™ . This state-of-the-art, computer-controlled, multi-fueled burner system simulates engine exhaust conditions to conduct steady-state and transient evaluations, including the ability to rapidly " age " a wide range of emission control systems. The systems include a series of components that clean the exhaust emitted by an engine prior to releasing it through the tailpipe.
