Northern Lights Exhibits at 2013 Miami Boat Show, USA

Northern Lights, an industry leader in marine power generation, propulsion and HVACR, will feature its unique Diesel Exhaust Cleaning System (DECS) at the 2013 Progressive® Insurance Miami International Boat Show, February 14‐18 at the Miami Beach Convention Center (booth P100).

Based on DCL International’s MARINE‐X™ system, DECS removes soot and particulate matter as it is emitted from the diesel engine. The air and water quality on and around the vessel is vastly improved, offering a clean, enjoyable environment for everyone onboard.

When equipped with DECS, exhaust gas is routed through a catalytically coated ceramic filter, trapping soot and particulates. Unlike other exhaust cleaning systems, DECS uses a passive regeneration process which does not require additional equipment, controls or regeneration time. The Northern Lights generator set functions normally, while particulate matter is continually burned off using the heat emitted by the engine’s own exhaust.

The DECS unique filtration process reduces carbon monoxide by up to 98% and diesel hydrocarbons by up to 95%. At a conservatively rated exhaust gas temperature of 300° C (572° F), the soot burns away and transforms into harmless CO2. It is CARB Level 3 verified and NO2 compliant.

The DECS modular steel housing and removable elements are designed to thrive in the unforgiving marine environment. DECS is engineered to be application specific and its polished stainless steel exterior maintains a low‐ service temperature with a high polish to complement any engine room. The state of the art monitoring system records critical engine information. DECS meets or exceeds the sound attenuation standard of marine engine mufflers, as well as all classification society requirements.

“DCL International’s emissions control technology has been proven to be effective on a global scale. Northern Lights is the global leader in marine power generation and propulsion. Together, DECS will provide an ideal solution for the new generation of yachts that will be managing exhaust systems using safer, more practical and reliable technology,” said Northern Lights Director of Marketing Colin Puckett.
