The SmartCarb":

The American Performance Technologies' "SmartCarb"" carburetor is the first product in it's "Green Performance Power" product line. This is a line of products that not only deliver outstanding emissions reductions but also deliver improved fuel economy and increased performance - a real "win-win".

The SmartCarb" is a simple single circuit design that delivers unprecedented fuel economy, ultra-lower emissions, increased performance, and automatic altitude compensation. It is the embodiment of an ingenious design resulting from over 40 years of industry experience, design improvement, and extensive testing. Recent testing at the 2011 Pikes Peak proved it - Click HERE to see some video on the event.

Recent testing at the APT labs with our SmartCarb mounted to one of the best selling 49 state generators today showed that not only would this generator run ~2.2 hours longer, due to the improved fuel consumption of the SmartCarb, but it would be a 50 state C.A.R.B. eligible unit emitting ~44% less CO and ~17% less HC and run with less vibration (details below). With recent crackdowns by the U.S. EPA, who is assessing large fines and confiscating shipments of off shore manufactured power equipment and powersports vehicle with improper or no emissions certifications, using our SmartCarb" is really a low risk and cost-effective alternative.

Best in Class Performance and Fuel Economy:

The SmartCarb" delivers more horsepower and torque than competing products. Due to superior atomization (or otherwise known as the decomposition of long-chain hydra-carbons) the SmartCarb" produces, it allows the use of untapped and unlocked energy utilized in the combustion process. In addition, the SmartCarb's single circuit design allows for increased throttle response and performance enjoyed throughout the engine's entire power band.

While conventional wisdom would suggest increased horsepower should typically result in lower fuel economy, the SmartCarb" actually achieves a significant improvement in fuel economy while delivering increased power.

A Greener Fuel System:

Manufacturers and governments are seeking green solutions to their carbon footprints. The reduction of emissions in internal combustion engines, at the lowest costs in investment, is accomplished by unlocking more of the potential energy in the liquid fuel. The SmartCarb" addresses this goal with a simple proposition: improving fuel atomization (reducing the size of fuel particulates) results in reduction of emissions as well as performance and fuel economy increases. The SmartCarb" system simply allows for a more complete burn of the fuel.

Why It Works:

The SmartCarb" is a simple single circuit fuel system comprised of multiple patented features. The SmartCarb" works by hammering fuel with air velocity at supersonic speeds breaking down the fuel particles into 8 to 12 micron particulate size. Comparatively, fuel injection typically atomizes fuel to 18 to 22 micron particulate size.
Fuel injection development has peaked in terms of atomization or emulsification of fuel leaving the more expensive and complicated Direct Fuel Injection technology as the only solution for improved fuel economy, emissions and performance.
Similar to fuel injection systems, the SmartCarb" is able to feed a consistent air-to-fuel ratio to the engine through out the entire power band.
The SmartCarb" permits engines to exceed U.S. emission standards and even meet and exceed the more stringent, current European Union standards (Euro 3) as well as future standards for years to come.
The SmartCarb(TM) delivers all of these advantages and sells at a fraction of the cost of these very expensive, multi-complex-part, sophisticated direct fuel injection systems.

- NON-OPTIMIZED POWERSPORTS OVERSIZED (20mm vs. required 16mm) SmartCarb" on the Brand XXXX 49 state Model XXXXX Portable Generator - 8kW cont./10kW peak in the APT Test labs:
  - -> Genset would run 2 hours longer with SmartCarb" @ normal 1/2 load
    -16% better fuel efficiency at 80% load
    -24% better fuel efficiency at ½ load going from 10hr total run time to 12.2 hr run time
    -24% better fuel efficiency at 20% load
  - -> This current 49 state generator would be C.A.R.B. approved without requiring the more expensive muffler, due to lower emissions enabled by SmartCarb"
    -Lower CO average at 5 test points by 44%
    -Lower HC average at 5 test points by 17%
  - -> Smoother power and less vibration
