COMPRESSI ON SYSTEMS

FLEXIBLE FUEL HEADER

This simple design just makes good sense and saves money. By providing easy access, our new
exible fuel header lets you maintain fuel valves, and even replace them, in a matter of minutes,
rather than hours. As an added benet, the system relieves much of the assembly stress from the
gas injection valves.

Exciting New Ajax Engineering Evolutions
ELECTRONIC GOVERNING SYSTEM
Ajax engineering comes through in another big way with our Integrated Governor Throttle Body,
now standard equipment. The IGTB provides excellent speed stability and quick response to load
changes. The governor measures engine speed with a magnetic pickup and automatically adjusts
fuel gas header pressure as required to maintain desired speed. The IGTB offers the features of
simplicity without the requirement for on-site tuning.
OXIDIZING CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Many have tried, but only Ajax delivers a highly successful, eld-proven catalytic converter to meet
the new environmental guidelines for two-stroke low-emission gas engines. Designed to alleviate the
potential worries of oil contamination and pressure spikes, this new product improvement virtually
eliminates CO and VOC emissions and greatly reduces formaldehyde emissions. Add this to our
patented expansion chamber, and its possible to achieve any combination of these benets, including
reduced NOx and/or increased site horsepower ratings.
TUNED EXHAUST EXPANSION CHAMBER
Because ever-tightening environmental requirements pose such difcult, constant challenges,
our goal is to help you comply without giving up performance. Our patented exhaust expansion
chamber provides perfect proof. Its ingenious design allows you to recover up to 50% BHP
derating, reduce NOx by 60%, or both, depending on your needs. Even better, there are no moving
parts, no computers and no air-fuel ratio controllers, and no maintenance is required.
LUBE SYSTEM
For even better reliability, weve made a sophisticated divider block system standard issue for our
power and compressor cylinders across the line. A solid-state ow monitor provides automatic
low- and no-ow shutdown to prevent damage to the engine in the case of pump failure. With
fewer moving parts, less tubing and only a few pumps required, the system is a model of user-
friendly efciency.

COMPRESSI ON SYSTEMS
Simplicity reigns supreme with Ajax integral technology.
And improvements are made with one very critical
parameter in mind never compromise the strength and
simplicity of the original design. That explains why our
integral engine-compressors simply last longer, cost
less to maintain and come standard with features that
meet all the BACT emissions requirements. They also con-
sistently maintain an impressive 98% or better availability.
For a life cycle that can easily span 50 years or more, all
thats required of you is an annual oil change and very few
special tools; as proof, our very rst two DPC models,
built in 1958, are still running strong.
