Since 1992, the EECL has created a legacy of developing products which improve engine efficiency and reduce harmful emissions from engines as small as 1 hp to as large as 2500 hp. Our work is primarily focused on advancing ignition system (laser, micropilot, pre-combustion chamber) and after-treatment (SCR, 3-way catalysts, NSCR, oxidation catalysts).
Research and development is currently being performed on the Cooper-Bessemer, Caterpillar and Waukesha VGF engines. The Superior and Waukesha 3521 engines have been moved to storage. They can be re-commissioned if the need arises for research on these engine models.
