Dear Luke,
Enclosed are the findings and test
results that you requested. I believe that the results are very good. Let
me begin by saying that after having been involved with this product and
developing the tests and procedures to determine its usefulness in the
ambulance industry, I feel that the product has significant value and we
here in Tulsa will be using the product in all of our fleet vehicles. During
one of our preliminary tests during late August we tested one of our vehicles
on what ended up being a record high temperature day. At the beginning
of the test the outside temperature was 100 F. After several interruptions
the test was completed, but several hours later during the hottest time
of the day. High of the day reached 108 F. The number that sticks out to
me on that day is the fact that despite the increase in the ambient temperature
the engine bay temp dropped seven degrees. Knowing that over the long haul
heat will severely shorten the life of an engine and the under hood components,
Let me first begin by setting up the test so that you might better understand what it was that we were testing and how we gathered the data. The test truck is a 1999 Ford F350 Super Duty, Type 1 ambulance with less than 1000 miles on it. It is powered by a 7.3 liter power stroke diesel engine and an E40D automatic transmission. The final test was run yesterday on a cloudless day 84 F. The truck was driven over a predetermined route. The “before” data was gathered, the truck was left to heat soak for 15 minutes. The MotorMax was added and the test was repeated. The data was gathered using a few different devices. The first one is the Ford link to the truck’s on board computer, the NGS tester. The second is a “Raytek” digital infrared temp gun. And the third is a PTC Minuteman Plus digital electrical system tool that provided the information on the alternator output. The following were recorded using the NGS tester; Engine oil temp, Engine bay temps, water temp, A/C duct temp, and trans fluid temp were all recorded using the Raytek temp gun. And the alternator output was recorded on the OTC machine. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely,
Scott James EMSA/Paramedics Plus Eastern Division Fleet Supervisor Tulsa: 1417 North Lansing Ave. * Tulsa, Oklahoma 74106-5906 * 918-596-3135 * FAX 918-596-3177 Oklahoma City: 1111 Classen Drive * Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73103 * 405-297-7135 * FAX 405-297-7199 |
