How Does FPC Work?
A. All combustion engines convert BTU’s (British Thermal Units) into torque. This is accomplished by breaking carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds and forming carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds. The net result of this is the heat (BTU’s) available for conversion into torque. This is an exothermic reaction. This reaction is inefficient and results in the creation of byproducts such as carbon monoxide (CO), soot (C) and hydrocarbons (HC). However, all three of these exhaust impurities have a residual energy value. These are unutilized impurities that are exploited by FPC, thus yielding an increase in engine power and reduction in engine emissions.
