Phantom Switch™ Zone Filtration

The most Cost-Effective Diesel Emission Control System available in the World

Phantom Switch Zone FiltrationPhantom Switch™ is the world's only proximity sensitive automatic diesel emission control system that requires low maintenance and solves today's immediate health problems associated with diesel engine emissions.

People in largely populated areas are particularly vulnerable to emission-related illnesses where smog is a city-wide concern.

However, not just highly congested areas leave people are risk. Fire fighters, toll collectors, construction workers, auto mechanics, school children on buses and others who operate or are near diesel powered machinery are likely to breathe in hazardous air bourne particulates.

Diesel engines burn cleaner as engine speed increases and subsequent soot load decreases. But lower speeds and resulting higher loading is common in populated areas where, as it happens, most of us live and work. These two facts influence the design of all Smoke Blotter® emission control systems.

How Smoke Blotter® Phantom Switch™ System Operates

Radio signals automatically activates filtration mode when the vehicle enters a 100 meter radius of the Smog Free Zone, and continues to filter emissions until the vehicle drives out of range. This supplements or eliminates engine idle restrictions.

  • Filtration occurs any time vehicle is within 100 meter range of Transponder (at first station, trauma center, school yard, repair shop, etc.)
  • Not just on engine startup. Not when backing up. Not limited to 100 seconds (or less).
  • Filtration in any gear forward or in reverse. Or engine idling. For indefinite amount of time.

Below is an illustration of the Phantom Switch™ filtration stages:

Phantom Switch Filtration

Stage One - Vehicle is dispatched on Mission

    • Engine operates normally
    • No "Jake Brake" Effect
    • Full Horsepower
    • No Loss Mileage
    • Outside range of RF Transponder
    • 25% Emission Reduction with DOC
Emission Reduction

Stage Two - Vehicle approaches "Smog Free Zone"
(Schoolyard, Trauma Centers, Fire Departments, Municipal Complex, Industries, etc.)

    • Filtration activates in range of RF Transponder (within 100 Meters)
    • Continuous Filtration as long as vehicle remains in Smog Free Zone
    • Fully automatic filtration, switches off when out of range of RF Transponder
    • Works idling or in motion
    • 99% Emission Reduction

The Phantom Switch™ design allows longer usage of filter by capturing soot only when when these vehicles are in sensitive areas. We utilize Cordierite AirCor™ Diesel Particulate Filters which many experts claim are the best in the business. They are highly effective in trapping particles and gases, however, they are also expensive. The Phantom Switch™ can greatly prolong the life of a filter by only providing filtration during necessary times.
