BEEAs Grand Prix winner receives EEF accolade

The BEEAs-winning Racor SuperImpactor CCV from Parker has gained further recognition – this time in the shape of the EEF's Future Manufacturing Awards.

The SuperImpactor, which yesterday won in the category of green and growth, had already won both the Green Product of the Year and the Grand Prix at the British Engineering Excellence Awardsceremony held in London last October. The SuperImpactor represents a breakthrough in the battle to continually reduce engine emissions and also helps minimise environmental impact. The team has developed an emissions solution that sets the standard for high performance fit for life closed crankcase ventilation solutions. The need to offer a more efficient solution for filtration of crankcase blow by gas was the driving force behind research and development efforts. The development team set out to design a high performance innovative system, which would be a viable alternative to traditional oil driven centrifuge solutions. The SuperImpactor CCV was the result of these engineering efforts. The SuperImpactor regulates the crankcase pressure, separates the liquid/aerosol oil and returns it to the sump thus delivering open and closed crankcase solutions up to 99% efficiency. This provides a positive impact on the environment by eliminating oil mist from crankcase emissions. The SuperImpactor technology is available for medium, heavy, and industrial sized engine projects controlling blow-by gas up to 1400 litres per minute whilst maintaining crankcase pressure limits and efficiencies throughout the engine life. The cleaned gas can be closed to the intake system and high oil separation efficiency maintains good turbo and intercooler performance. Alternatively the cleaned gas can be returned to atmosphere.
