Nano Labs Reports on BTU Test Results for Nanotech Gasoline
September 30 2013 - 1:56PM
Nano Labs Corp. (OTCQB:CTLE) is pleased to report on Exova's BTU
test results of the Company's proprietary Nanotech Gasoline (NG).
As previously reported on September 24, 2013, the Nanotech
Gasoline (NG) combines 60% commercial grade gasoline with 40%
ordinary drinking water, plus the Company's proprietary
nanotechnology.
Exova performed the ASTM D-240, the Standard Test Method for
Heat of Combustion, using a Parr Calorimeter. The heat of
combustion, as determined by this test method, is designated as one
of the chemical and physical requirements of both commercial and
military turbine fuels and aviation gasolines.
Exova reported BTU values of 35,659 kJ/kg for Nano Lab's NG,
compared to 'Regular' gasoline at 41,134 kJ/kg.
"It is expected that the Nano Gasoline, since it contains water,
would have a lower calorific value. This is reflected by the above
results: by calculations it is only about 13.3% less," states Dr.
Castano, Chief Innovations Officer of Nano Labs. "As a general
rule, the higher the calorific value, the better the mileage.
However, we must understand that here we are talking about a novel
gasoline-water emulsion, with a surprising high calorific value,
comparable to regular gasoline".
The main advantages of using emulsified fuels, instead of the
pure fuel itself, are environmental and economic. As one of the
different solutions to the problem of world pollution, emulsion
fuel technology has received close attention because it may provide
better combustion and would contribute to a reduction in emissions.
There are also great expectations that it would lead to a reduction
in fossil fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions on a global
level, eventually contributing to providing a final solution to
environmental problems, such as effluent gas. It is an established
fact that water in the emulsion fuels is shown to improve
combustion efficiency and contribute to emission reduction."
"We are very pleased with the favorable evidence the team is
building on our Nano Gasoline," states Mr. Chavarria, President of
Nano Labs. "We are continuing to run a full suite of ASTM tests
against commercial grade gasoline, creating a direct, side-by-side
comparison. Again, I stress, it is important to note that we are at
the development stage here with a disruptive technology but we are
extremely encouraged by these results. We are continuing to work
with select partners to continue testing and further our
discussions for NG's commercialization."
