ACE (Accelerated Cost Efficiency) Initiative

1. Design and validation of modified hospital grade silencer as an alternative to critical grade silencer for KTA19G9 engine

(HHP) which will reduce the acoustic enclosure material by testing it as per ESW0042 in correspondence with Cummins

Exhaust, Daman and GOEM-Sudhir, Powerica and Jakson

2. Dual Source Development: Validation of Cooling system by performing de-aeration, drawdown and performance tests on

Radiator with Aluminium core as per ESW0013 for 6CTAA8.3G1(C-200 KVA) engine and developed alternate sources

(BANCO, FAIR) for radiator.
