ArenaRed's Focus

ArenaRed’s focus is the global energy transition and to make any combustion engine completely appropriate for renewable fuels from renewable sources by developing, designing, outsourcing and delivering flexible engine management systems based on combustion pressure sensing.
Therefore ArenaRed has developed her own Combustion Pressure Based Control (CPBC) microchip and Fiber Optical Combustion Pressure Sensor. With this ArenaRed is able to serve all markets with combustion engines, saving 100% fossil CO2, delivering more power and even more efficiency.

Besides the ArenaRed team we hire highly specialized companies in order to design and produce our products. This enables ArenaRed to develop several new products in parallel.

ArenaRed is Spanish for Silicon Network and it refers to the ArenaRed CPBC Chip with 8 billion electronic super highways inside. An arena can be seen as a playing field. ArenaRed is in the middle of the alternative fuels playing field, every fuel becomes possible and RED stands for the EU Renewable Energy Directive, which is one of our main objectives.

ArenaRed is financed by Dolderman, the Dutch Government and Mr. Paul Nooijen.

ArenaRed’s Delivery Package:

  • electronic control unit with ar-cpbc-chip
  • combustion pressure sensor (cps), automotive, fiber optical
  • fuel injectors, with integrated tip cooling, double wall leak detection, integrated cps
  • with rcci 1% diesel is injected 100% before Top Dead Centre resulting in ignition in the gas stage instead of ignition in the flued stage like today diesel only.
  • rcci results in 10%+ better fuel economy than diesel only
  • tier iv final, stage-v and euro-6D without scr urea
  • cheaper production of entire engine due to the possibility to allow lower tolerances of compression ratio and injectors
  • enabling bio based economy; all fuels become possible, like hydrogen, biogas, methanol and ethanol.
  • fuels in random mix from 1 tank

ArenaRed Designs, Sources Out And Delivers:

  • ar-ecu with injector drivers, obd, canbus
  • chip for combustion pressure based control
  • fiber optical combustion pressure sensor (cps)
  • diesel injector with integrated cps
  • double wall gas safe maritime class approved gas injector
  • total solutions

Dolderman Caterpillar

DOCAT 3500AR
RCCI

RCCI Diesel To Bio-/E Fuel

diesel to hydrogen, biogas, methanol and or ethanol conversions

running fuels like 99% (e-)hydrogen, (bio)gas, (e-)methanol, ethanol, (bio)lpg and gasoline. 1% (bio or e-)diesel is needed for ignition. docat stands for dolderman caterpillar, 3500 stands for the type of caterpillar engine, deliverable between 200kw and 3.500kw, ar stands for arenared.

dolderman is the first customer of arenared. Dolderman is over 95 years active in the european inland marine navigation market and is official dealer of the leading engine manufacturer caterpillar. besides caterpillar dolderman is also dealer of hatz and john deere.

dolderman has applied the arenared system onto the inland waterway ship, oil tanker mts argonon from deen shipping. the mts argonon is the first field application with the arenared technology and is also the first field rcci application in the world. meaning the mts argonon is the first rcci engine in the world running in the field or running in commercial use as a commercial product that can be ordered today.

arenared has developed and sources out under the responsibility of arenared’s production of the 3500 rcci conversion retrofit kit.

arenared and dolderman have put a focus on safety first. this has resulted in an ultra-safe, smart software, double wall gas injectors with leak detection package. the system is entirely overviewed, found and approved to be safe by Lloyds register.

specs of the docat 3500ar rcci package

  • 10 % higher fuel efficiency than diesel only
  • stage-v compliant engine-out emissions, no scr (urea) needed
  • 99 % hydrogen, biogas, methanol, ethanol, gasoline and or lpg
  • 100 % diesel still possible
  • retrofit rcci port fuel and or rcci single point, depending on customer demands
  • rcci combustion strategy
  • less noise than gas engine
  • longer engine life
  • no spark plugs
  • no calibration costs
  • optimization throughout the entire lifetime
  • 100.000 hr. expected cylinder piston lifetime for inland navigation
  • more robust by cylinder-, engine monitoring

 

Mercedes Sprinter

(BIOS GROEP)
2.2L 4cyl. or 3L 6cyl. Mercedes Diesel Engine

RCCI Diesel to BIO-/E Fuel

diesel to hydrogen, biogas, methanol and or ethanol conversions

running fuels like 99% (e-)hydrogen, (bio)gas, (e-)methanol, ethanol, (bio)lpg and gasoline.
1% (bio or e-)diesel is needed for ignition.

The first ever shown RCCI application on the road is expected in months. This will be a euro-6d approved Mercedes Sprinter bus running on ethanol from the existing diesel tank.

specs of the rcci sprinter conversion kit

  • 10% higher fuel efficiency than diesel only
  • euro-6d. no scr (urea) needed
  • 99% hydrogen, biogas, methanol, ethanol, gasoline and or lpg as possible fuels
  • 100% diesel operation still possible
  • retrofit rcci, rcci combustion strategy
  • less noise than gas engine
  • longer engine life due to smoother combustion and cylinder monitoring
  • no spark plugs
  • no calibration costs
  • optimization throughout the entire lifetime
  • 1.000.000 km expected engine life

arenared has a winning ‘well to wheel’ solution for all participants. as well environmentally as economical.

environmentally

  • a rcci engine creates less noise than a gas engine
  • in combination with a small battery, zero noise during the last mile while using breaking energy
  • zero fossil co2 possible
  • the air from the exhaust contains 5.000.000 times less fines than the air that goes in
  • nox nitrogen 2 times lower than euro-6d without the use of scr (urea)

economically

  • the availability by nature of advanced ethanol (not from food) is 200 x the entire global consumption of fossil fuels, gas, oil and coal together
  • advanced ethanol is until 2050, 2 up to 10 times less expensive than e-fuels
  • electrification of a sprinter bus cost 20 times more than the arenared package from an investment point of view
  • an electrified sprinter bus that is allowed to drive with a small drivers license has an action radius of max 120 km, an arenared rcci retrofit has an action radius of 3.000 km if desired
  • charging large numbers of electric vehicles within the next 10 years is a non-addressed non solved challenge
  • a significant cut in maintenance cost with arenared is expected

possible applications from which transporters could benefit

  • local power and heat generation based on the caterpillar 3500
  • trucks on rcci
  • (sprinter) buses on rcci
