Among the efforts in this year's Truck Botoming Cycle Program was the installation and testing of an organic fluid throttle valve located at the outlet of the vapor generator. The second Test Bed Vehicle (TBV No. 2) equipped with this mechanism and advanced bottoming cycle hardware was operated over the Mack fuel economy course and resulted in a 13.2-percent fuel savings in the 1100-mile test. This fuel savings is a major accomplishment towards the program goal - a 15-percent reduction in fuel consumption. Component development has continued with testing of the vapor generator and evaluation of a soot-blowing scheme for maintaining long-term vapor generator heat transfer effectiveness. Further development of the microprocessor-based control system has emphasized the optimization of the Bottoming Cycle System performance. Other work included stability testing of Fluorinol-85 in a specially constructed fluid loop. Baseline tests at a fluid temperature of 550 F have shown no decomposition in 1600 hours of operation.
