Parker Flux Wave Cell does not reduce the effectiveness of any required motor vehicle pollution control device. The ARB, in exercising technical judgement, is aware of no basis on which Parker Flux Wave Cell will provide either a decrease in emissions or an increase in fuel economy.

_2 * The ARB has not determined what effect use of Parker Flux Wave Cell may have on any warranty, either expressed or implied, by the manufacturer or a motor vehicle on which the device is installed. Parker Flux Wave Cell is not a certified motor vehicle pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 43644. 10.

. EVALUATION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: Parker Fuel Cell Distributors, LLC. Name of Device: Parker Flux Wave Cell Background: Parker Fuel Cell Distributors, LLC. of 15730 N. Pima, Suite D4—332, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85260, has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for the Parker Flux Wave Cell designed for 2001 and older model—year diesel powered vehicles. Recommendation: Grant exemption to Parker Fuel Cell Distributors, LLC. as requested and issue _ Executive Order D—519. Device Description: Parker Fuel Cell Distributors, LLC.‘s Parker Flux Wave Cell is specifically designed for installation on 2001 and older model—year diesel powered vehicles. The installation of the device requires the cutting of the fuel line, after the fuel filters, for installation. The Parker Flux Wave Cell is intended to increase the vehicle‘s efficiency and power output by modifying the molecular structure of the diesel fuel prior to combustion. Discussion/Basis for the Recommendation: Parker Fuel Cell Distributors LLC. claims that when the Parker Flux Wave Cell is installed, it introduces the fuel to flux wave fields. This allows the hydrocarbon fuel to be attracted to oxygen, allowing the fuel to burn more efficiently. It is the staff‘s opinion that the technical principles underlying the stated function of the device are not capable of producing any effects on emissions and fuel economy. The ARB did not perform any emissions or fuel economy tests to substantiate the claims made by the manufacturer. No adjustments such as timing, EGR, fuel metering are included in the installation instructions. The ARB has exempted similar devices in the past, exemptions were granted based on comparative Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedures, fuel economy testing, and an engineering evaluation. Because of the previous exemptions issued to similar devices with the same operating principle and the fact that qualifying for an exemption is based on not adversely affecting exhaust emissions, the staff recommends that Parker Fuel Cell Distributors, LLC. be granted an exemption as requested.
