CRC Industries, Inc. announced the issuance of
US Patent No.10,267,227 for its CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner.
The patented technology includes systems for the reduction or elimination of
intake valve deposits in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and related
methods, including the delivery device, conduit and actuator.
CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner is an aerosol product that cleans
GDI intake valves when applied through the engine’s air intake or throttle body
and delivered directly to the back of the valves. As vehicle manufacturers
began shifting to GDI technology, CRC was at the forefront in addressing the
unique performance issues caused by carbon deposit buildup on GDI intake
valves, such as hard starts, rough idle, poor acceleration, reduced fuel
economy, excess emissions and power loss.
CRC has a rich history of innovation, driven by
a core focus on identifying unmet needs in the marketplace and providing
differentiated solutions for its customer partners and end users. CRC was
first-to-market with many industry-leading products, such as CRC Brakleen brake
parts cleaner and CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner.
“We continually strive to innovate by developing new solutions to maintenance
issues and addressing the needs of our customers both now and for the future.
It’s critical to be forward-thinking and stay ahead of technological advances,”
stated Adam Selisker, global VP of research and development for CRC. “The
number of vehicles with GDI engines in the US is expected to exceed 80 million
by 2021. Our proprietary technology provides a better service alternative to
maintain GDI engines for both repair shops and vehicle owners, while also
making the job manageable for the skilled DIYer.”
Prior to the invention of CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner,
cleaning GDI intake valves was a costly, labor-intensive process, requiring
engine disassembly to remove the valves for manual cleaning or walnut-shell
blasting. With the new CRC GDI valve cleaner, the service can be performed up
to 75% faster than previous methods and without engine teardown, freeing up
valuable bay time for shops and saving hundreds of dollars for consumers.
