Estimated Casualties: None
Description: On April 10, 1861, Brig. Gen. Beauregard, in command of the provisional Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina, demanded the surrender of the Union garrison of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Garrison commander Anderson refused. On April 12, Confederate batteries opened fire on the fort, which was unable to reply effectively. At 2:30 p.m., April 13, Major Anderson surrendered Fort Sumter, evacuating the garrison on the following day. The bombardment of Fort Sumter was the opening engagement of the American Civil War. Although there were no casualties during the bombardment, one Union artillerist was killed and three wounded (one mortally) when a cannon exploded prematurely when firing a salute during the evacuation.
Result(s): Confederate victory
CWSAC Reference #: SC002

Henry Benham to James Island where they entrenched at Grimball's Landing near the southern flank of the Confederate defenses. On June 16, contrary to Hunter's orders, Benham launched an unsuccessful frontal assault against Fort Lamar at Secessionville. Because Benham was said to have disobeyed orders, Hunter relieved him of command. (To read an account of this battle, click here. This link will take you to an online essay by Richard Cote.

On June 21, troops of the 55th Pennsylvania landed from the gunboat Crusader and transport Planter near Simmon's Bluff on Wadmelaw Sound, surprising and burning an encampment of the 16th South Carolina Infantry. The Confederates scattered, and the Federals returned to their ships. Despite this minor victory, the Federals abandoned their raid on the railroad. Although a bloodless raid, this engagement typified scores of similar encounters that occurred along the South Carolina coastline.

On April 7, the South Atlantic Squadron under Rear Admiral S.F. Du Pont bombarded Fort Sumter, having little impact on the Confederate defenses of Charleston Harbor. Although several of Hunter's units had embarked on transports, the infantry were not landed, and the joint operation was abandoned. The ironclad Monitor warships Keokuk, Weehawken, Passaic, Montauk, Patapsco, New Ironsides, Catskill, Nantucket, and Nahant participated in the bombardment. Keokuk, struck more than 90 times by the accurate Confederate fire, sunk the next day.

Strong's troops advanced, capturing several batteries, to within range of Confederate Fort Wagner. At dawn, July 11, Strong attacked the fort. Soldiers of the 7th Connecticut reached the parapet but, unsupported, were thrown back.

Estimated Casualties: Total unknown (US unknown; CS 18)
Description: To divert Confederate reinforcements from a renewed attack on Fort Wagner, Gen. Gillmore designed two feints. An amphibious force ascended Stono River to threaten the Charleston & Savannah Railroad bridge. A second force, consisting of Terry's division, landed on James Island on July 8. Terry demonstrated against the Confederate defenses. On July 16, the Confederates attacked Terry's camp at Grimball's Landing. Because of incomplete reconnaissance of the difficult, marshy ground, the disorganized Confederate attack was soon aborted. Their mission accomplished, Federal troops withdrew from the island on July 17.

Other Names: Second Assault, Morris Island
Preservation Priority: IV.2 (Class B)

At dusk July 18, Gillmore launched an attack spearheaded by the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, a black regiment. The unit's colonel, Robert Gould Shaw, was killed. Members of the brigade scaled the parapet but after brutal hand-to-hand combat were driven out with heavy casualties. The Federals resorted to siege operations to reduce the fort. This was the fourth time in the war that black troops played a crucial combat role, proving to skeptics that they would fight bravely if only given the chance.

the best tex mex12/31/2010
One of the best! This is one of the best Mexican food restaurants I've been to. I would highly recommend you try , but everything that I've tried on the menu has been a home run!""?
steak great...BUT....10/23/2008
4 of us went here before a preseason Mavs game. We order the Fajita Platter and hoped that we could share it, between two of us at $22 for the PLATTER. When we got the bill we were each charged a Split fee of $6 just for sharing. No second set up of guac and sour cream or anything, just a split fee. We didn't even get a second plate. Nowhere is it even mentioned that there will be this fee. There isn't one on Forest!! After that, we got our bills and noticed the fee. I tipped $5.50 on my $25 ticket, and then in a rush, couldn't find my "eaters" copy of my receipt to fill in. In a hurry they all grabbed their receipts and we headed out. 2 days later the charge cleared with a slightly higher charge of $8.50 for tip. I have contacted them and yet to hear anything back. I don't have a copy of my receipt, and I don't want a refund. I just want to make them aware that someone on their staff is stealing from some people at this restaurant. I would hope for higher morals and customer service in such a high end location. I have another friend who was over tipped about 3 weeks ago at the same location before a stars game. We thought it might be a fluke, but now it seems way to coincidental.
Very good Lunch spot. I would...01/31/2008
Very good Lunch spot. I would go back here. Food is great, service fast, priced just right and the wait staff does not hover over you every 5 mininutes, but seem to be there when you need them.

Just to chime in, I use thirty years also. Most of those in our database had large families, with the first child at about 22 (mother's age) and the last at about 43.
The fathers' ages are somewhat older still, especially if it was a second marriage.
If I had to make a wild guess, I would say it is more like an average of 35 (father's age).

I for one and I have mentioned on this list before, would support your 30
years per generation
Langleys over the last 25 generations average out at 33.1 and that includes
the fact that over half of them were eldest sons!
One guy back 1300 married for the second or third time and produced two sons
at the age of 50 +.
The figure of 25 assumes that men started producing at the age of 18 and
stopped or had died by 32.
Whereas if men were fathering sons from the age of 18 to 42 and I cant think
that impossible even 4,000 years ago, then you come up with your figure of

text: Valerie's a special kind of girl and she's getting plenty of press worldwide, especially in the high tech trade publications and websites.You see, Valerie (no last name) is the world's first robot receptionist with a personality, according to inventors at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.Hailed as the University's newest staff member, Valerie does all the things a typical receptionist does gives directions, answers the phone and a whole lot more.She's so life-like that women's rights groups are lashing out at her inventors. They charge that the robot, whose face appears on a computer monitor, is a blonde bimbo. They also resent the fact that Valerie, who answers questions put to her on a keyboard, spends too much time in idle phone chatter and has a life ambition to become a lounge singer."Actually," said a graduate student who helped in Valerie's two-year development, "We gave her an underdog character. She's struggling to make it in a world of humans."Probably the reason she has such a unique personality is because the drama department helped write some of the programs. While Valerie generally has a charming personality, she's also known to get a bit testy toward the end of the day, after she's answered the same questions dozens of times.But she's a socially skilled robot with the potential to become an important part of business life. Developers want to incorporate a musical cabaret for her, despite the fact that she has a really terrible singing voice.Highly expressive, Valerie is known to be something of a gossip and isn't shy about criticizing her supervisors.Her station is in a booth at the entrance to a computer science hall. She can detect motion and greets visitors as they approach. Mostly, she gives visitors directions and offers frequent weather reports.Similar robots have been developed in England and Japan, but Valerie is the only one who's dating a vacuum sweeper, a Volkswagen and a Dell computer at the same time. I told you she's a bimbo. Check her out at www.robotreceptionist.com.(E-mail me at email@example.com or visit my Web site at www.geocities.com/jerry7068.)

Because It Is My Blood
Work details
Because It Is My Blood by Gabrielle Zevin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Should every book become a series? NO!
In the case of the Birthright series by Gabrielle Zevin, we are talking about a trilogy. A trilogy that should have never been more than a single story or duology at most.
There is a really interesting premise to this series that is dystopian (yr 2080's) with traces of The Godfather. Living in the time that we are, it is easy to buy into a story where things like chocolate are illegal. While the government claims that the numerous laws are for society's own good, it is really about lining someone's pockets. Anya's family have been chocolatiers for a number of years, and when chocolate became illegal, the family turned to organized crime.
The setup is all done in book one, All These Things I've Done, in which we learn a lot of strange, but imaginable laws are in effect. I really enjoyed the first book, but there were a few slow parts that should have ended up on the cutting room floor...
Which brings me to the the second book, Because It Is My Blood. This book hardly need exist at all. It is almost entirely slow paced filler. The romance is dull, little happens, what does happen circles back around so it turns out to be nothing at all, and there is pages upon pages of Anya working in the cocoa fields. At some point I just kind of figured that the author researched the hell out of growing cocoa beans and got overzealous in sharing the things that she learned. *snooze
I have heard that the third and final book, In the Age of Love and Chocolate, delivers a good ending to the trilogy, but it still leaves me wondering why this couldn't have been a duology, maybe even a single book, although the jury is still out on that one, since I haven't read the final book.
If you read and enjoyed the first book and still have not continued with the series, it is safe to say that you can skip this book and move on to the third. Really.
In 2083, seventeen-year-old Anya Balanchine seeks a way to make Balanchine Chocolate legitimate, and although a trip to Mexico gives her new insights and ideas, escaping her mobster family's legacy of violence may prove impossible.
The second book to All These Things I've Done in the Birthright series. I loved this book. It is better than the first book, but I still gave them both the same five star rating for being one of the best series I've read to date.
Anya is growing to be one amazing and strong young woman who is no longer letting the world get in her way. Instead, she's putting her foot down and making choices that will have you cheer her on.
Wow! I am so in love with this series! This book was even better than the first! The story took a GREAT twist! I am so glad I have the third and final book because I don't want to wait to finish this series! Gabrielle Zevin has an amazing mind and is a pure genius! I have a new favorite author!

"Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in."- Michael Corleone, The Godfather
Since her release from Liberty Children's Facility, Anya Balanchine is determined to follow the straight and narrow. Unfortunately, her criminal record is making it hard for her to do that. No high school wants her with a gun possession charge on her rap sheet. Plus, all the people in her life have moved on: Natty has skipped two grades at Holy Trinity, Scarlet and Gable seem closer than ever, and even Win is in a new relationship.But when old friends return demanding that certain debts be paid, Anya is thrown right back into the criminal world that she had been determined to escape. It's a journey that will take her across the ocean and straight into the heart of the birthplace of chocolate where her resolve--and her heart--will be tested as never before.

I know a lot of readers who really want a Nespresso machine but who also feel that they are pretty expensive at the stores. Well if you are OK with refurbished machines, you may not know that Nespresso maintains its own eBay storefront for refurbished Nespresso machines. The most common ones are the Essenza, Le Cube, Romeo and the D90 units.
I have been watching them for some time, and the prices can really be very low; $75 for a Nespresso machine is pretty amazing. The ones that I see feature a "6 month Advanced Exchange Warranty. That means that if the product should need service within the warranty period, Nespresso will send out a a temporary replacement unit while service is being completed. This not only gives you peace of mind but also a working Nespresso machine while yours is away."

Posts Tagged 'heat pump unit'
A heat pump is a vital addition to every home especially during the winter season. Choosing the type of this equipment that meets your needs and preferences is essential in order to get the best out it, and browsing and getting prior knowledge from Heatpumpadviser through heat pump reviews will help you do just that.
If you are having doubts about whether this machine is a necessity or an unnecessary accessory, take note of the number of reviews for different brands that are posted online. That should show you just how much people are relying on these devices to give them warmth and comfort at home.
If you know how an air conditioner works, then it will be easy for you to understand just how heat pumps work. In fact, this machine can actually function as an air conditioner as well with just a little flick of the switch. They work best in places with moderate climates, making it unnecessary to install separate systems for heating and air conditioning. Plus, if you choose the right kind of device to fit into your home through either personal recommendations or reading reviews, you can also save a lot on utility bills.
Choosing what type of unit is right for your area is an integral part of buying one. Make sure you have enough information on different types from online reviews. This knowledge is important because some of these machines may be limited to just the cooling function and installing the wrong one in your house or your office may end up causing you more in energy costs.
The size of your house or your establishment will also be an important factor in choosing the best unit to install in it. In order to do this right, reading reviews of heat pumps may not be enough, especially if you are looking to buy this type of device for your business establishment. Choosing the right device for your home may perhaps be easy enough. But if you want to be accurate in determining the size of the device you will need for your business, hire a professional to perform the heat lost or heat gain assessment for your establishment.
The amount of heat an establishment needs can be influenced by different factors like air-tightness, insulation, solar access, wind exposure, and even the size of the basement. A proper unit for an establishment is one that should be able to meet the area's heating demand by 70% to 90% of heat loss. Installing smaller heating equipment in different areas of the building, especially if the establishment is large and needs more than six tons of heat capacity, is a more efficient choice than having a single, central heating system.
Before you go out of your way and impulsively buy a unit just because you feel your home needs it, take a minute to go online and browse through the different options that are available for you and learn from consumer heat pump reviews just how usefully efficient (or not) each one is.

ATLANTIC CITY - Cheryl and Gary Colclough of Nottingham, England, spent part of their vacation earlier this month here as spectators on the new Roaring '20s Trolley Tour, hearing the colorful history and stories of that time.
The Colcloughs watch "Boardwalk Empire" on the Sky Atlantic television channel, which has been pushing the HBO series, Gary Colclough said. Because of "Boardwalk Empire," Cheryl Colclough wanted to see the resort. Her husband had been here previously. They spent half their vacation in this country in Philadelphia and the other half here.
"I have an interest in knowing about everything. I was interested in Atlantic City history," said Gary Colclough, who spent one of his evenings with his wife of five years eating at the historic Knife and Fork Inn here, which was originally established in 1912.
The city is both benefiting and taking advantage of the fact HBO created "Boardwalk Empire," a critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning show set in the city's 1920s past. This is happening even though there are some barriers to the city fully capitalizing on the series, specifically, the series not being filmed here and some of the landmarks from that time no longer exist.
"There is still equity in the 'Boardwalk Empire' show that makes a compelling case for us to continue the marketing," said Jeff Vasser, executive director of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. "We don't know for the second season where they are going to go with it, so there could be new opportunities for us. They could make, for example, the Steel Pier the focal point of something next year and that would give us a new opportunity at something fresh."
In alignment with the start of the second season of "Boardwalk Empire" tonight, the ACCVA website - www.atlanticcitynj.com - has been completely redone with a 1920s theme. There is a link to find out more about historic Atlantic City and a link to Atlantic City Free Public Library Website, which has its own Atlantic City Experience section.
For the three months that "Boardwalk Empire" aired last year, traffic to the ACCVA website increased 15 percent each month over 2009.
While it's hard to independently verify how much of an impact "Boardwalk Empire" is having on Atlantic City, those hoping to capitalize on the HBO series say it has helped their business.
Nucky's Way and the Roaring '20s - two themed trolley tours - are still doing well, Vasser said.
The creation of "Boardwalk Empire" was a huge help in deciding to establish the Roaring '20s Trolley Tour, which started in June, said Stephanie Schwartz, charter and convention sales manager for the Great American Trolley Company in Cape May.
"It was so close to home that it was almost like a no-brainer that we needed to run this tour. In terms of people reserving, a lot of people have read the Nelson Johnson book (which inspired the series) or have seen the show," said Schwartz, who added the tour has been attracting locals and vacationers. Interest is so high, the tour will continue through the fall, she said.
The rebranding of Resorts Casino Hotel with a 1920s motif started months after last September's debut of "Boardwalk Empire," even though Resorts Chief Executive Officer Dennis Gomes said the idea of a Prohibition-era theme came to him before the show premiered.
"The first place everybody thinks of when the 'Boardwalk Empire' thing is going is basically us because of our '20s theme," said Gomes. "We're a part of the time period and the things that they talk about in 'Boardwalk Empire,' so we're historically a perfect match for it."
Gomes considers the casino's adoption of a 1920s theme since December a success. For the first six months of this year, Resorts has suffered an operating loss of more than $11 million, more than any other casino in the city.
Resorts, formerly Chalfonte-Haddon Hall, is one 1920s-era landmark still intact, said Heather Halpin Perez, library archivist for the Atlantic City Free Public Library. The city is also home to businesses, churches, restaurants, piers and public buildings that were part of the city's jazz-age fabric.
"If someone were to visit Atlantic City today, they would see a variety of places that were around in the 1920s. Not all of them look the same as they did in the 1920s, but the building and structures are still here," Halpin Perez said.
Among the places and attractions shown during season one of "Boardwalk Empire" that still can be seen today include Fralinger's salt water taffy, the Boardwalk and rolling chairs, said Vicki Gold Levi, an Atlantic City historian and author.
Fans can also view a 108-foot long replica of the Boardwalk stores seen on the HBO series. The display was erected in July in front of the West Hall of Boardwalk Hall, near Florida Avenue. The project was the brainchild of radio host and Press of Atlantic City columnist Pinky Kravitz.
Dennis Mason, the 5th Ward councilman, wanted to create another place visitors could come and see.
Mason was unsuccessful last year in getting an ordinance passed changing the name of the beach block Belmont Avenue to Nucky's Way in an attempt to capitalize on the publicity created by "Boardwalk Empire," which is based on the life of the late Enoch "Nucky" Johnson.
"I wanted to monopolize on all the press the show was getting," Mason said.
Even though Mason failed last year, he hasn't given up on the idea for a sign for Johnson. He convinced the Ritz Condominiums, which used to be the Ritz-Carlton where Johnson lived, to allow for an old-time, black and white street sign that reads "Nucky's Way," two inches off city property, right by the condos' driveway. All he needs is sponsorship to pay for the sign and a brass plaque.
"It's going to be done. One way or another, it's going to be done," Mason said.

Rihanna paired the versatile kicks with every type of outfit—from a pair of Levi's destroyed denim shorts to a fuchsia Helmut Lang high-slit dress and an oversized The Monster Tour T-shirt featuring a photo of herself. Her trio of looks perfectly illustrate why Rihanna is our favorite style chameleon. The 2014 MTV VMA nominee can swap sky-high stilettos for retro sneakers, pair them with a gown, and still look utterly stylish.

Jayhawks remain undefeated
The numbers are staggering.
74.7 — points per game for the Jeannette Jayhawks though seven games in 2012 — first in WPIAL Class-AA, and fourth overall in the WPIAL.
44.4 — points per game allowed by the Jayhawks during their 7-0 start — fifth in Class-AA.
30.3 — average margin of victory for the Jayhawks in 2012 — best in the WPIAL.
Of the three, the number that pleases Jeannette head coach Adrian Batts the most is, predictably, 44.4. Batts knew his team would score, but never imagined they would defend this well.
"We've talked about winning a title," said Batts. "We know it's going to take great defense, and we have been defending very well in the half-court."
It goes further than the half-court for Jeannette, though. Their commitment to tenacious defense has created an almost absurd number of turnovers and resulted in remarkably high numbers in transition points.
"We had 20 fast-break points against Springdale (an 80-50 road win last Thursday), and 28 against Greensburg Salem (a 76-38 win last Thursday)," said Batts. "You almost never see numbers like that in high school games."
Besides Springdale and Greensburg Salem, Jeannette also beat Riverview at home last Tuesday, 68-29. The Jayhawks are one of three Section-3 teams to start the season 7-0 (3-0 in section play). Greensburg Central Catholic and Serra Catholic share the top spot in the section with Jeannette.
Duke Brown scored a season-high 39 points against Springdale, but Batts said his team's strength offensively all season has been their balanced scoring.
"We continue to have four or five guys every night in double digits," said Batts. "We had seven varsity guys come back this year, and four of those have been in my system for four years, so they know the system and the terminology."
Their familiarity with Batts' offensive and defensive philosophies manifest in Jeannette's player's high basketball IQ's and in-game decision-making, and has resulted in dominance through seven games.
Jeannette will come out of the holiday break and holiday tournament at Gateway High School with an important Section-3 test next Friday against Serra Catholic.
WPIAL Class-AA,
Section 3
Jeannette (3-0) (7-0)
Serra Catholic (2-0) (7-0)
Riverview (1-2) (2-4)
Shady Side (1-2) (2-4)
Springdale (0-2) (1-5)
South Allegheny (0-3) (2-5)

(CNSNews.com) – Lloyd's List, a London-based newspaper for the international shipping industry that has been in continuous publication since 1734, recently announced that it will go completely digital on December 20th.
A customer survey in June showed that only 2 percent of the newspaper's readers were relying exclusively on the 279-year-old print edition. More than 97 percent said they preferred to get their business information online.
The paper was founded by Edward Lloyd, who had been posting ship arrival and departure times on the wall of his 18th century London coffee shop.
"Lloyd's List first started in 1734 as a notice pinned to the wall of a coffee shop in London offering customers trusted shipping news and information," editor Richard Meade said in a statement.
"That aim has not changed, but the technology has and our customers are now accessing the industry's most sophisticated intelligence source in any coffee shop, anywhere in the world 24 hours a day," he said.
Lloyd's List's print edition is only the latest casualty of the digital age.
"Newspaper Death Watch" maintains a list of metropolitan dailies in the U.S. that have closed since 2007. Many more have switched to a hybrid print/online model.
Hundreds of the nation's remaining 1,382 daily newspapers, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post, have also erected "pay walls" in an attempt to recover lost profits from dwindling print advertising.

Jim Donaldson, Project Manager
Mr. Donaldson is a project manager and anchors Tofel Construction's Phoenix operations. He brings over 25 years of experience in the construction industry, with 10 years most recently in the multi-family segment.
Mr. Donaldson previously had 14 years experience as a carpenter foreman, including framing and finish work, prior to becoming a superintendent. He originally started his trade in Iron Mountain, Michigan, before moving to Arizona for 10 years. Mr. Donaldson then returned to Michigan and obtained a general contractor's license where he spent 2 years building custom homes.
Eventually the warm weather brought him back to Arizona where he started working as an assistant superintendent for a company building multifamily housing projects.
In 2000, Mr. Donaldson joined Tofel Construction (then TA-Wallick Construction LLC) as an assistant superintendent. Proving his talents on a couple of projects, he was promoted to superintendent. After four years with Tofel, he went on to another company where he built market-rate multifamily projects for five more years. During those years, he aggressively extended his educational background in the areas of composition, business, and computer operations.
Tofel Construction re-hired Mr. Donaldson as a project manager in 2009. His high sense of integrity, work ethic, and construction and management experience makes him a valuable element in the success of Tofel Construction.

Municipal Bond Defaults Unlikely
Writing for The New York Times, Iris J. Lav argues that state and local borrowing is far less susceptible to annual budgetary concerns because it is, by its nature, long term.
"[T]his fear of an imminent bond crisis reflects a profound misunderstanding of the differences between the short- and long-term challenges facing state and local governments, and what these governments can do to address them. Indeed, such talk hurts those governments in the long run by undermining investor confidence and raising their borrowing costs.
Municipal bond default is actually quite rare: no state has defaulted on a bond since the Depression, and only four cities or counties have defaulted on a guaranteed bond in the last 40 years. A few minor bond defaults do occur each year, usually on debt issued by quasi-governmental entities for projects that didn't pan out, like sewers for housing developments that never were occupied."

Diesel-powered Equipment in Metal and Nonmetal Mines
Actions or Tasks Addressing Implementation Management
"Mention of any company name or product does not constitute endorsement by
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health."
I do not know whether there is a site champion for DPF selection, installation and maintenance at this mine or in my company.
The Compliance Assistant suggests that you ask your supervisor or other management personnel if there is a person who has been designated to coordinate the implementation of DPFs at your mine. If no one has been selected, then check here for an explanation why it is a good practice to have a site champion.
You have indicated that there is no designated site champion for DPFs at your mine.
Read the reason it is important to have a site champion for implementation of diesel particulate filter technology. Then discuss with your management the need for them to consider selecting a person to oversee and coordinate the selection and installation of DPFs at the mine by assembling a team with key personnel from ventilation, industrial hygiene, engine maintenance, vehicle maintenance, production, and operators.
Actions or Tasks on the Engine
I do not know whether the engine is a 2- or 4-stroke engine.
Try the following to determine the stroke of the engine:
- Ask the maintenance department or mechanic,
- Get the engine make and model and call
- Engine manufacturer, supplier, or rebuild shop
Yes, the engine is a 2-stroke engine.
The exhaust from 2-stroke engines contains lubrication (crankcase) oil and generally emits PM at high rates compared to modern 4-stroke engines. Both of these characteristics adversely affect the selection and operating characteristics of a DPF. For active regenerating DPF systems, the size/capacity of the DPF will be larger than a DPF for an equivalent 4-stroke engine. Additionally, the lubrication oil contains metals which is the dominant source of ash that accumulates in the DPF. Because the ash cannot be burned off by simple thermal regeneration and because of the large oil component in the exhaust of a 2-stroke engine, the ash builds up more quickly than with 4-stroke engines. A DPF on a 2-stroke will require more frequent cleaning to remove the ash than if it were on a 4-stroke engine.
Because of these effects on the DPF, and because the 2-stroke engine is an older technology, the Compliance Assistant urges you to consider replacing the 2-stroke engine with a modern (electronically controlled) 4-stroke engine of equivalent power, or retire the vehicle from service.
Yes, the engine is burning oil.
When the target engine burns oil, you need to correct this problem.
- Make repairs to the engine (e.g., replace the rings, rebuild the engine) and confirm that the engine no longer consumes oil;
- Replace the engine with a rebuilt engine and confirm that this engine does not consume oil;
- Replace the engine with a new engine, preferably a newer technology engine that has lower PM emissions. The MSHA M/NM rule has specific requirements on introducing engines to your underground mine, §57.5067. Contact your equipment manufacturer for a list of MSHA or EPA certified engines that will fit your equipment.
DO NOT INSTALL DPF's ON ENGINES THAT BURN OIL, ARE OVERFUELED, OR ARE IN GENERALLY POOR CONDITION.
I don't know whether target engine burns oil.
Records of the crankcase oil consumption of this target engine should have been kept. Check with the maintenance person responsible. If there are no records, instruct maintenance to start keeping records because you need to know this information and it is important.
I don't know what the exhaust CO concentration of my target engine is.
You need to know the engine CO emissions of this engine.
- Check the maintenance records. If CO records are maintained, the data should be there.
- If there is no CO emission record for the target engine, then you should take steps to obtain exhaust CO concentrations. Since this is so important, you should invest in an exhaust measurement instrument or combustion analyzer. The better instruments measure Oxygen (and compute the Carbon Dioxide concentration), Carbon Monoxide, Nitric Oxide (NO), and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). Some provide software that makes measurement and recording of data easy. Some instruments can obtain the Bacharach smoke number which can be used for assessing the filtration quality of the DPF on an ongoing basis after installation. A partial list of combustion analyzers is presented below.
You should also investigate instituting an emissions based maintenance program.
O2, (CO2), CO, NO, NO2, smoke number
Model 400
True Spot
Smoke number only
[ Go Back (within this window) ]
Actions for high CO emissions
I know what the target engine exhaust CO concentration is, but I don't know whether the level is acceptable.
- If a record of the CO for this specific engine has been kept, then the exhaust CO is acceptable if it is within the historical variations of the CO for that specific engine.
- If you have no CO baseline or CO records for this specific engine,
- contact MSHA A&CC email@example.com at 304-547-2064 or the engine manufacture to obtain the CO levels that are acceptable for your engine. MSHA may have a list of these on its web site,
- Institute an emissions based maintenance program for this engine and purchase appropriate exhaust measurement instrumentation as described here.
- [
- Yes, the target engine has high CO exhaust concentrations; I need to reduce them.
- The causes for elevated CO emissions can be the following:
- Air intake restrictions such as a clogged air intake filter; check or replace it with a clean filter.
- Overfueling of the engine, that is, the fuel rack is set too high for the altitude of operation. Have an engine mechanic qualified on the target engine check fuel rack setting and adjust if necessary for altitude according to the engine manufacturer's guidelines. Take this opportunity to reduce the fuel setting to reduce engine horsepower and significantly reduce DPM emissions if the target equipment does not need or use the full horsepower of the engine. You can save fuel, reduce tire wear (tire slippage), and reduce DPM and CO emissions by reducing the fueling rate (derating) the engine.
- Low compression or worn engine. Have the engine serviced and rebuilt if necessary.
- Improperly set timing. Have the engine serviced.
- Establish and emissions based maintenance program.
- MNM DPF Selection Actions or Tasks
- The following section presents the tasks which must be accomplished to ensure proper selection of a Diesel Particulate Filter which best suits the target equipment and its operational situation. Acquire Exhaust Temperature Traces
- I have decided that I may want to get temperature traces for the target vehicle myself.
Below are the steps for getting exhaust temperature traces. Also, MSHA or NIOSH can assist you in equipment selection and its use.
- Obtain the necessary temperature logging equipment (example). The items include the following:
- Locate a spot for the temperature probe on the existing exhaust pipe at the point where the DPF would probably be attached. Contact MSHA, firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-547-2064 before installing a probe on a part 36 permissible machine.
- Make a 1/2" diameter hole in the wall of the exhaust pipe and weld a 1/2" NPT coupling to accept the 1/2" male adapter for the temperature probe;
- Insert thermocouple probe so that the tip of the probe is at the center of the pipe. Snug fittings;
- Locate a safe and cool place on the vehicle for the logger and fasten it securely;
- Using connectors and the thermocouple wire, make an extension from probe to logger taking care to wire the connectors correctly to the colored wires; or skip this step and use a purchased extension;
- Connect one end of the thermocouple extension to the thermocouple and the other end to the logger;
- When you are ready to collect data (start of the shift), activate the logger.
- At end of the shift, download the data to a laptop or desktop PC according to the logger instructions;
- When convenient, examine the data to ensure logger and thermocouple are working;
- Collect the data for several shifts; if different shifts involve quite different tasks, then ensure that the different shifts are profiled several times. For example if a loader loads trucks from the muck one shift and does clean up on another shift, both shifts need to be profiled several times. If the equipment performs a variety of tasks over a single shift, and every shift is somewhat similar, then profile this shift several times. The objective is to profile the shift that produces the lowest exhaust temperatures.
- For each different type of shift logged, describe the tasks performed. These descriptions will be of help to characterize the temperature profile for possible application to other equipment and will be part of the temperature profile information you will provide to the DPF suppliers for DPF selection.
- A photo of the temperature data logging instrument on a vehicle. Click on picture to enlarge.
Self-contained battery-powered temperature logger for Type K thermocouple. The logger should be able to log a temperature every 15 to 30 seconds for a full shift (about 3000 data points for a 12-hr shift logging every 15 seconds). A cigarette pack sized logger is available that can log over 8000 points for a little over $200 and includes software.
Stainless steel thermocouple type K temperature probe, 1/8 inch or larger diameter and of length long enough to reach to the center of the exhaust pipe from an female NPT port in wall of the exhaust pipe. These cost about $30.
NPT to compression fitting adapter to hold thermocouple;
Type K thermocouple wire, type K connectors male and female to make an extension of the thermocouple leads, or purchase (about $15) a fabricated extension, tie wraps, etc.
Laptop or desktop PC with software for downloading data from logger.

- Note: Make sure the software included with the logger is version 6. Version 5 will not run on Windows 2000 or NT. Version 5 runs on Windows 98.
- You have decided to contact a DPF supplier or consultant to obtain exhaust temperatures. Here are some things to consider.
- Be aware that not all DPF suppliers or manufacturers offer both active and passive DPFs. There may be consequences if the temperature profiles do not result in a recommendation of a product offered by the DPF supplier or manufacturer.
- Make certain (negotiate an agreement) that you own the temperature data that is obtained by the DPF supplier or contractor providing the exhaust temperature logging service. If there is a fee, ask whether the fee includes an analysis of the temperature profile and what that analysis provides (it should provide the critical information on exhaust temperatures and duty cycles that allow selection of the proper DPF.
- Make certain that temperature traces are obtained for all full-shift scenarios that the equipment experiences. Temperature trace data should be obtained for each of these possible scenarios several times.
- For every shift for which temperature traces are obtained, describe the activities of the equipment in general terms for your records and to provide to the supplier along with the logged data.
- If the DPF supplier cannot come to your mine to set up the temperature profiling instrumentation, he may offer to lend you or sell you the equipment for you to install to acquire the temperature yourself. If this is the case, you might want to consider buying the parts recommended in "I want to take the temperatures myself" response to the question.
- Exhaust Temperature Trace Analysis Procedure
- Note that many DPF suppliers will want your raw exhaust temperature data for their own analysis, so you are not required to do this analysis. However, when you are faced with reassigning the equipment to a different type of work, and it is using a passive DPF, you will have to reassess the exhaust temperatures. You can use your analysis of the present data as a baseline for comparing the effects on exhaust temperature from the equipment reassignment.
- You have decided to analyze the exhaust temperature traces yourself. Below is an outline of one way to obtain an estimate of the critical temperature governing the possibility of using a passive regenerating DPF on the target equipment. The method below was designed to operate on data produced by the data logger mentioned in the equipment kit.
- Download the data
- If you remove the data logger from the equipment, stop the data logger prior to disconnecting the thermocouple. If the logger remains on the equipment, stop it from logging, but do not shut it off.
- Start the software, remove the protective cap over the data jack, and then connect the cable from the PC to logger.
- Assuming that you have tested all of this and everything is set correctly, select "Download." You will have an opportunity to set the current time to the correct local time. This is important as all the data on the logger is referenced to this time setting.
- Downloading the data starts when time is set.
- Optionally select, "Function" and set to "Deg C."
- Save the data as a *.txt file using something to identify the equipment and date in the name.
- Shut off the data logger to clear memory and restart if appropriate.
- Importing data into a spreadsheet
- Import or otherwise put the logged data for one shift into spreadsheet software, for example, Microsoft Excel®. The logger used as an example, saves the data as *.txt file. Using the File | Open in Excel, navigate to the folder containing the temperature *.txt data file; change the Files of Type: to "Text Files" so the data file becomes visible. Highlight the data file, and accept all the defaults by clicking on "Next" several times and then "Finish" as explained in the directions in the logger software manual.
- Save the file as an *.xls file.
- Clean up the data
- Below is only one way to use Excel to analyze the data to arrive at the critical temperature and depends on having data analysis add-in available. If you need assistance, contact NIOSH or MSHA-A&CC, or check here to download a spreadsheet that performs the temperature analysis from time and temperature data copied into the proper columns.
- Insert a new worksheet by right clicking on the sheet's tab, and selecting "Insert." Highlight and copy the time and data column by highlighting the two cells of numeric data appearing in column A and B, then keying Shift+Ctrl+END to highlight the entire data set. Follow with a CTRL+C. Move to the second cell in column A in the new sheet, and typing CTRL+V to paste in the data.
- Highlight the column designation "B" in the new sheet, right click and select "Format cells," select "Time," and select "13:30:55," as the format.
- Label the data columns with "Time," and "Deg C" (or "Deg F.")
- Change the font of the column titles to italic using the "I" button in the tool bar to provide Excel with a means to differentiate the headings from the numerical data.
- With cell A2 highlighted, select Data | Sort from the menu, then check "Header row" if not checked, and select to sort by "Deg C" (or "Deg F"). Choose "Ascending" Select "Okay" to sort. The data is sorted so that the lower temperatures at the top.
- Highlight each entire row with a temperature less than 100 deg C or 200 deg F.(Highlight the first sheet row number then hold shift down while using the down arrow to highlight every row until the temperature has increased to 150° C (300° F). Delete these rows of data using a right click of the mouse and selecting "Delete." Save this file.
- Re-sort the data using "Time" as the sort column to place the data back into chronological order. You have just removed "engine-off" data from the set. The exhaust temperature that represents the engine-off condition is approximate and assumed to be below the exhaust temperature at idle.
- Data Analysis
- Steps 1 - 9 calculates a 3-minute moving average. You can skip these steps but need to change the reference to column C in step 10 to column B.
- Examine the data time and count the number of rows used for the time to advance by 3 minutes using the data where the time is seen to advance in regular increments. Don't start counting with the initial time, but start several minutes into the log where the numbers in the "Time" column (A) are sequential. Note the row numbers where 8:35:33 and 8:38:33 appear, for example. The difference of these row numbers is the number of data points to be averaged for a 3 minute average. Note this number.
- Use End key plus down arrow key to go to the last row of data and also note the spreadsheet row number.
- Go to Tool | Data Analysis and choose "Moving Average" by scrolling down past "Histogram" in the list.
- For the input range enter $B$2:$B$nnnn where "nnnn" is the true last row number for your data.
- For the "Interval," enter the number of rows you determined in step 1 that represent 3 minutes of data in your log.
- For the output range select the top of the next column $C$2; it really doesn't matter as long as the column is empty.
- Check the box to produce a chart.
- Select OK to execute the moving average. Note the first few data points generated contain "#NA."
- Right click inside the chart area but outside the graph, select "Location" and select "As a new sheet" and name the sheet "MovAve3" for 3 minute moving average.
- Go back to Sheet 2 with the data and go to Tools | Data Analysis and select "Histogram." Choose the Average data that you just generated in column C, as the input range. It is best to manually type in the range by noting the starting row of the first number where the "#NA" stops and the last row: $C15:$Cnnnn for example, where nnnn is the last row of your data ($B15:$Bnnn if you skipped steps 1-9).
- Select a location for the histogram data to the right of the current data. Leave room for more averages if you want to do them.
- Leave the Bin range blank. Check "Cumulative Frequency" and "Chart" check boxes. Click on "Okay" to execute.
- Go to the new chart, and as before right click inside the chart but outside the plot area and select "Location" and move the chart to new sheet.
- Examine column labeled "Frequency" and find the percentage that is close to 70%. Keeping in the same row, move two columns to the left and note the "Bin" temperature. You have now located the critical temperature, the temperature the exhaust exceeds 30% of the time. Make note of this temperature which will be denoted as T30%.
- You will be submitting exhaust temperature traces to a DPF supplier or consultant for analysis.
- Here is a list of what you need to do.
- Provide a description of the equipment, make and model.
- Provide photos and dimensional drawings of the area surrounding the engine.
- Provide the engine make, model, date of manufacturer, hours since last rebuild, and CO emissions. The engine should not be consuming oil.
- Assemble the electronic data logs of the exhaust temperatures. On paper or in a computer document, try to describe the different types of work that each shift represents (if the shifts are different) and the work tasks within a shift. Reference these descriptions to the specific data logs.
- Ask the DPF supplier or consultant what other information they may need. They may ask for the following information (for mobile equipment):
- Ask for the results of the analysis.
Whether there is an hour or two of idle time between shifts.
Whether the vehicle is or can be parked in the same place between shifts.
Whether there is a source of electric power near the parking place or whether a regular parking place can be arranged where there is power available.
The ventilation rate where the vehicle spends the majority of its working time. There may be several different rates if the vehicle is used differently on different shifts.
Current CO, NO, and NO2 levels in the typical working areas.
Whether ventilation rates can be increased from those stated above.
Where and when fueling for this vehicle is done underground.
Whether it is possible or there is a willingness to support the exchange of DPFs for the vehicle every shift.
- Installation and Operation Considerations for Passive DPFs
- General considerations for installation of a passive DPF.
- Mount the DPF as close to the exhaust manifold of the engine as possible.
- Insulate the exhaust system between the exhaust manifold after the turbocharger and past the DPF. Contact the filter manufacturer before insulating the filter housing.
- Exhaust back pressure monitoring with an alarm, as the bare minimum, must be installed with a passive DPF. The preferred installation would include a logger with a wrapping memory with sufficient capacity for several shifts of data of the 30-second averages of both exhaust back pressure and exhaust temperature. The preferred installation also provides a direct readout of back pressure and/or visual indicators (green-yellow-red colored LED bar graph) to provide both ample indication and ample warning of abnormal increase in back pressure. In case of a regeneration problem, the data from the logger could be downloaded and examined to learn the events (engine conditions) that may have caused lack of DPF regeneration.
- At the regularly scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) (every 250 engine operating hours) the engine emissions upstream and downstream of the DPF should be checked for CO and . Smoke Number These measurements should be a part of an Emissions Based Maintenance program. Any increase in CO upstream of the DPF or smoke number downstream of the DPF would be indicative of a change in engine condition and a leak or crack in the DPF, respectively. A partial list of combustion analyzers was presented above.
- The normal exhaust back pressure will increase slowly owing to the accumulating ash. In due time (1000 hours more or less), the DPF should be removed and cleaned of ash by following the manufacturer's recommended procedure.
- Specific installation considerations for DPFs using fuel borne catalysts
- The installation of the DPF itself is straightforward and should follow the general installation considerations (above) for passive DPFs. However the requirement for a fuel borne catalyst (FBC) introduces added considerations:
- Upon a new "green" installation, the DPF (and engine) must be first run with a heavy dose of FBC to coat all the engine and exhaust components with the catalyst. The DPF supplier's instructions should be followed rigorously.
- The FBC must be in the fuel in adequate concentrations at all times. Moderate overdosing is not a problem but is wasteful. A system must be established that ensures the presence of the FBC in the fuel. Some of the options are the following:
- Because of the use of the FBC and the desirability of not releasing it into the workplace, it is important to monitor the filtration status of the DPF on a regular basis. The use of the smoke number is highly recommended at regularly scheduled maintenance. The purchase of a combustion smoke tester or combustion analyzer with built in smoke number testing provisions is recommended. A partial list was presented above.
On-board auto dosing system which senses the fuel added during fueling and meters in the proper amount of FBC
Separate fueling storage and distribution system for the equipment requiring a FBC. A mechanism must be established that prevents fueling any equipment with the improper fuel, e.g., special nozzles that mate with the fuel tank.
Manual dosing by noting the fuel taken on during refueling and filling a vessel to the appropriate mark with the FBC and adding it to the tank
- Heavily catalyzed DPFs have been found to convert significant portions of engine-out NO (compliance level of 25 ppm) to NO2 (compliance level of 5 ppm). Not only is the compliance level of NO2 5 times lower than that of NO, the health effects of NO2 are more serious. As a result, it is necessary to monitor the workplace continually for NO2 preferably using a direct-reading hand held instrument.
- Should the NO2 levels be unacceptable, then ventilation must be increased. Should that not be possible or fail to reduce the NO2 concentrations to acceptable levels, the catalyzed DPF system must be abandoned in favor of an active DPF system.
- Refer to MSHA PIB P02-04 regarding issues with NO2 emissions with heavily Pt-catalyzed DPFs.
- Installation and Operation Considerations for Active DPFs
- General considerations for installation and operation of an active DPF.
- Unless the exhaust temperature is borderline for the DPF (for example, the DPF is a base-metal catalyzed system that just does not quite passively regenerate), the active DPF can be mounted anywhere that is convenient. The exhaust pipe between the engine and the DPF does not need to be insulated. There may be a preferred mounting orientation to the DPF that must be considered.
- The DPFs are sized to store soot for the full shift or operational period between regenerations. As a result, they are larger than the comparable passive DPFs for the same engine.
- All DPF system installations require an exhaust back pressure monitor and alarm with multiple indicator lights representing good, marginal, and unsafe exhaust back pressure levels. Back pressure monitoring is needed because as the ash builds up during use, a regenerated DPF will start the shift at progressively higher exhaust back pressure leaving less capacity for soot loading. At some point, the back pressure alarm will start coming on near the end of the shift because of this lack of capacity for soot. The DPF will have to be cleaned of the ash, unless the regeneration station does this as part of the regeneration process. The point here is that a full shift of operation is to be expected before the "red" back pressure light comes on; this is the design criteria used by the DPF manufacturers. The other point is that the system is probably sized with an over capacity to account for a reasonable amount of ash buildup; however, the capacity of the DPF may not be suitable to collect soot for two full shifts. The function of the alarm light is to prevent engine and DPF damage from extending the operation beyond the capacity of the DPF and the acceptable engine back pressure.

- After installation, at the routinely scheduled preventative maintenance (every 250 operating hours), measure and record CO and smoke number downstream of the DPF.
- Help on Active DPF Installations
- Installation and Operational Help for Active DPFs with off-board regeneration (DPF exchanging or swapping)
- The following are some important installation and operational criteria for off-board regenerating DPF systems:
- Engine horsepower should be less than about 150 otherwise the size of a single DPF makes it unwieldy for one person to handle.
- Larger engines may be accommodated if multiple DPFs are used so that one DPF can be removed by one person.
- Locate the DPF (it can be anywhere as long as the exhaust can be piped to it) on the equipment to provide easy access and handling by a person. Active DPFs may be larger than comparable passive DPFs for this equipment/engine since active DPFs must store the soot for a full shift's operation without creating unacceptably high exhaust back pressures. There may be a preferred orientation of the DPF. Check with the supplier.
- Work with the DPF supplier to ensure that the connection between the exhaust system and DPF uses a quick and gasket-free couplings. Mating flanges that use a tapered "tongue and groove" to ensure against leaks are available. They can be securely held together with lever-type band clamps.
- For equipment not operating for a full shift, DPF regeneration schedule may be reduced to less frequent than once per shift. However, it is important that the DPF exchange be performed on a naturally occurring schedule, such as every shift, daily, or weekly rather than every other day or shift. Waiting until the red light (high back pressure) goes on is not good practice, since it may come on mid-shift when DPF swap out is not possible. Thus the "wait until needed" approach is not an option.
- The DPFs must be protected during transport between the regeneration station and the equipment. If the DPF is transported by vehicle, protection must be provided to prevent physical damage to the exposed filter media, and from shock and vibration. Consider building a protective container dedicated to the transport of the DPF.
- If transportation of the DPFs from surface to underground seems to pose logistical problems and risks of damage to the filter, consider locating the regeneration facilities underground in a convenient location to the vehicles using the DPF. Such a location might be in an area of the underground shop, or near the cage, etc, where there is electric power, some ventilation, and is free of combustibles.
- Ensure that the regeneration station has built-in safety features such as fail-safe over-temperature protection of the heating coils (e.g., a fusible link) and a closed-loop temperature controller on the heater.
- This (as with all) DPF installation requires an exhaust back pressure monitor and alarm with multiple indicator lights representing good, marginal, and unsafe exhaust back pressure levels. See General Installation Considerations.
- For equipment that is or can be parked at a designated and fixed location between shifts you need to do the following:
- Roaming equipment, not parked in any set location between shifts, poses more challenging logistics. We offer some things to consider:
- The logistics of ensuring the availability of timely DPF exchange for those vehicles that operate and take on fuel on different levels or locations poses quite a challenge for off-board regeneration DPF systems. On-board regenerating DPF systems should be considered for these cases.
Devise a materials handling system to ensure that a fresh DPF is available to the equipment at the start of every shift or when needed. It is advisable to devise such a system in advance of actually deciding on using the off-board regenerating DPF. Mock up the scenario and run through it.
Consider locating the regeneration station/facility near to the parking area of the equipment. MSHA has developed best practices guide for underground regeneration of DPFs.
Consider locating the DPF regenerating station or facility underground at a location convenient to the transportation system used underground.
If the equipment operator uses some personal transportation vehicle to get to the equipment with the DPF, consider devising a DPF container on that vehicle and having the equipment operator take a fresh DPF to the vehicle and exchanging it himself. Since the operator will not return before the end of the shift, the DPF set for this equipment would have to include another DPF (total of three). The DPF swap has to be able to be easily done by one person in this case.
As above, but the equipment operator is driven to the equipment using the DPF, then there are two people to perform DPF swapping. Also there possibly is a means to get the removed DPF back to the regenerating station for regeneration before the next shift.
One could consider swapping out the DPF during equipment fueling. This would involve removing of a hot DPF. It would also require that the replacement DPF be at the fueling area (or on the fueling truck) without fail. This in turn would depend upon someone to ensure that this happens. With several vehicles using DPFs and fueling from the same central location, this may be practical.
Mock up the logistics first. Run through the scenarios using a token such as a block of wood to represent the DPFs.
- Installation and Operational Help for Active DPFs with On-board Controllers
- The following are some important installation and operational criteria for on-board regenerating DPF systems:
- The DPF can be located anywhere on the equipment that is convenient and to which the engine exhaust can be piped. The active DPFs may be larger than comparable passive DPFs for this equipment/engine since active DPFs must store the soot for a full shift's operation without creating unacceptably high exhaust back pressures. There may be a preferred orientation of the DPF. Check with the supplier.
- Provide the DPF supplier with photos and dimensional drawings or whatever is asked for in order to facilitate the location of both the DPF and the regeneration controller on the equipment. The DPF supplier should see the equipment first hand. Expect or insist on an on-site visit.
- In locating the DPF on the vehicle, take into consideration that the surface of the DPF may get much hotter during regeneration than during operation of the equipment. Keep combustible materials away from the DPF or insulate it. Consult with the DPF supplier on this matter.
- Until you are familiar with the installation of this type of DPF, enlist the assistance of the DPF supplier in the installation of the system.
- Make certain that the electric heater coils of the regeneration system have a fail-safe over-temperature protection (high temperature fusible link) and a closed-loop temperature controller.
- Mount the temperature controller and combustion air pump in a protected area away from engine or DPF heat.
- This (as with all) DPF installation requires an exhaust back pressure monitor and alarm with multiple indicator lights representing good, marginal, and unsafe exhaust back pressure levels. See General Installation Considerations.
- Make sure that the electrical supply and connections to the vehicle meet the applicable codes and regulations.
- Make sure that the electrical supply has sufficient capacity. If you need to upgrade it, take into account that there may be additional pieces of equipment needing power for DPF regeneration at this location.
- Operational considerations:
The equipment must have sufficient off-duty time daily or between shifts for the regeneration of the DPF. Depending on DPF manufacturer, filter size, and filter media, regeneration times can be as short as 1 hour or as long as 8 hours. Thus as a minimum the equipment must have a downtime of more than 1 hour per day or per shift.
The equipment must be brought to a source of electric power capable of supporting the regeneration system. Discuss the power requirements with the DPF supplier.
Prepare the parking/regeneration area so that there is some flow of ventilation air to remove the combustion gases (CO and CO2) from the DPF during regeneration. Some DPF manufacturers offer an oxidation catalyst after the DPF that reduces CO and hydrocarbons both during regeneration and operation.

- This (as with all) DPF installation requires an exhaust back pressure monitor and alarm with multiple indicator lights representing good, marginal, and unsafe exhaust back pressure levels. See General Installation Considerations.
- Locate the regeneration controller in a physically protected area and convenient to the area where the equipment is to be parked during regeneration. Make sure electrical connections meet applicable codes and regulations both from the mains to the controller and from the controller to the regeneration heater on the equipment.
- Make sure that the electrical feed to the regeneration area has sufficient capacity. If you need to upgrade it, take into account that there may be additional pieces of equipment needing power for DPF regeneration at this location.
- Operational considerations:
The equipment must have sufficient idle time daily or between shifts for the regeneration of the DPF. Depending on DPF manufacturer, filter size, and filter media, regeneration times can be as short as 1 hour or as long as 8 hours. Thus as a minimum the equipment must have a downtime of more than 1 hour per day/shift.
The equipment must be brought to the location of the regeneration controller for its DPF. This requires the equipment to return to the same location at the end of every shift. If that is not possible, then multiple regeneration controllers have to be purchased for this equipment and located at the places where the equipment will be parking at the end of the shift. You must adjust equipment deployment and operation to ensure regeneration every shift.
Prepare the parking/regeneration area so that there is some flow of ventilation air to remove the combustion gases (CO and CO2) from the DPF during regeneration. Some DPF manufacturers offer an oxidation catalyst after the DPF that reduces CO and hydrocarbons both during regeneration and operation.

Karawrote a review of Burton Gloria Pant - Women's on February 16, 2015
Quality Pant
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fit: True to size
This is a great pant. The fabric is really nice and the details are on point. I had tried on the Skyline Pant earlier in the season and found that my normal size was just a tad too small, so after that experience and reading some of the reviews on here, I sized these up (as they are slim fit, like the Skyline pant). When I tried them on, they were pretty loose. Not super loose, but I think they are a little more forgiving than some of Burton's other slim fit selections.
I was able to size down and it worked out well for me! I would say these are true to size.

Israel is redrawing the route of a barrier going up in the West Bank to cut out most of its controversial loops around Jewish settlements on occupied land, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz said.
It said the new route would be presented to US officials due in Israel this week to hear a plan by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to separate from the Palestinians. Sharon is widely expected to cement the plan in an upcoming trip to Washington.
Haaretz did not specify how the West Bank barrier would be revised, but quoted Sharon's chief of staff Dov Weisglass saying he believed the final route would be 600 kilometres long, 100 km less than the version proposed in 2002.
That route approximated Israel's 1967 boundary with the West Bank but also cut deep into occupied land to enclose settlement blocs, drawing land-grab charges from the Palestinians. Israel calls the barrier a security precaution against suicide bombers.
Sharon, long the settlers' champion, shocked Israel by proposing last week to dismantle 17 of 21 Gaza settlements and several in the West Bank in a unilateral plan to separate from the Palestinians should a US-backed peace "road map" fail.
Sharon proposed to move some of the 7,500 Gaza settlers to Jewish enclaves remaining in the West Bank. A Sharon adviser said visiting US deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley and National Security Council senior director Elliott Abrams were expected to study the proposal this week.
Sharon's go-it-alone plan would leave Palestinians with less land than they want for a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, captured in the 1967 Middle East War. Most of the international community sees the settlements as illegal. Israel disputes this.
Israel refers to the possible Gaza evacuations, like the West Bank barrier, as part of a "security line" against a more than three-year-old Palestinian uprising. Officials deny Palestinian charges Israel is putting down a de facto border.
