See also: Cylinder DULUTH, Ga. -- AGCO AGCO Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario AGCO Anderson, Greenwood, & Company AGCO After Google Check-Out Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : AG), a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment announces multiple enhancements to its engine business, AGCO SISU POWER. AGCO SISU POWER, formerly Sisu Diesel, specializes in the design and manufacture of durable, powerful engines with industry-leading environmental performance. "Our AGCO SISU POWER business is proud to announce today important innovations in engine technology. The introduction of the E3 SCR emission systems and the seven-cylinder engine provide economical engine solutions for our customers," said Martin Richenhagen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. First to Introduce SCR Technology for Agricultural Equipment AGCO SISU POWER announced today, the introduction of AGCO SISU POWER E3 Selective Catalytic Reduction Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is a means of removing nitrogen oxides, often the most abundant and polluting component in exhaust gases, through a chemical reaction between the exhaust gases, a (reductant) additive, and a catalyst. (SCR). This after-treatment system offers an effective method for emission control The selective and controlled use of electromagnetic, acoustic, or other emitters to optimize command and control capabilities while minimizing, for operations security: a. detection by enemy sensors; b. mutual interference among friendly systems; and/or c. while significantly improving fuel economy. "Until now, emissions reduction meant a tradeoff between reduced fuel economy, increased cost and more complex components added to the engine," said Hubertus Muehlhaeuser, AGCO's Senior Vice President and General Manager Engines. "The E3 SCR emission technology solution offers improved fuel economy and the unmatched performance and reliability that have become expected from AGCO SISU POWER engines." The primary benefit of the new technology is lower operational costs for the end user. Fuel prices continue to be a large factor in increased input costs incurred by farmers globally. With this technology on new Tier III / Stage III A emission products, customers will see improvements in fuel efficiency of up to 5-10 percent over current Tier III / Stage III A emission machines. Instead of re-circulating the exhaust gasses, the E3 SCR system treats the emissions as it leaves the engine by using AdBlue[TM] injected into the exhaust stream to react with Nitrous Oxide nitrous oxide or nitrogen (I) oxide, chemical compound, N2O, a colorless gas with a sweetish taste and odor. Its density is 1.977 grams per liter at STP. It is soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and other solvents. in the catalyst and effectively convert the treated gasses into nitrogen and water. Additional reductions in particulate par·tic·u·late adj. Of or occurring in the form of fine particles. n. A particulate substance. particulate composed of separate particles. emissions will be seen compared to current Tier III designs. "Energy, Economy and Ecology are the benefits of AGCO's E3 SCR emission technology," said Mr. Muehlhaeuser. "Energy comes from optimizing the engine's performance; Economy is the improvement to the customer's bottom line; and Ecology which is doing the right thing for the environment as lower emissions are achieved." 7-Cylinder Engine in 400-500 HP Class AGCO SISU POWER also announces its new seven-cylinder 9.8 liter engine in the 400-500 hp class. Most of the parts and functions of the new seven-cylinder engine are shared with AGCO SISU POWER's six-cylinder engines. These common components provide significant benefits in terms of costs, logistics and engine performance. The extra cylinder offers 20 percent more displacement and a corresponding increase in power and torque. The new engine is being built for harvesters, tractors, container handling machines, bulldozers, aggregates and other implements. After launching the new seven-cylinder model, AGCO SISU POWER has the most complete engine range below 10 liters in the market. With the only seven-cylinder engine in the worldwide off-road market, AGCO SISU POWER once again demonstrates superior technology and innovation. AGCO is making the necessary capacity investments in its engine production facilities which will allow it to meet the growing demand for AGCO products powered by AGCO SISU POWER engines.
