The Department of Export Promotion (DEP) in collaboration with the Furniture Industry Club, the Federation of Thai Industries, and the Thai Furniture Industries Association, is organizing the Thailand International Furniture Fair 2010 (TIFF 2010), under the concept of “Living A Green Life”. This event gives business operators a chance to both exhibit their latest furniture designs and seek business partnerships. TIFF 2010 will take place during March 10th-14th, at IMPACT, Thailand.
Mrs. Srirat Rastapana, DEP Director-General, stated that, “The global concerns about climate change have driven designers around the world to originate a new concept of furniture design in order to help raise public awareness on global warming. Such a concept has become a new trend in furniture design. To capitalize on this opportunity, the DEP has planned to arrange this year’s TIFF event under the concept of “Living A Green Life”, which is in compliance with the rising global trend.
“The event will be divided into two parts. During the first three days, March 10th-12th, the event is open exclusively for trade negotiations, while in the last two days, March 13th-14th, it is open for public retailing. Apart from being a spectacular, all-inclusive showcase of Thailand’s very best furniture production capacity and design, TIFF 2010 promises to be a great platform for leading Thai furniture manufacturers, entrepreneurs, designers and operators of related businesses including spare parts, machinery and interior decor materials, to meet with potential buyers and counterparts from overseas. It’s a great chance for virtually everybody in the furniture industry to seek alliance and reach common success.” added Mrs. Srirat.
Mrs. Srirat further noted that, “TIFF 2010 is anticipated to be the most comprehensive furniture exposition ever staged in Thailand. This expectation is to encompass the various aspects of the event including the number of participating exhibitors; revolutionary furniture designs; and, the trade and business opportunities it will present to international visitors and exhibitors themselves. In addition, TIFF 2010 will pave the way for professional Thai designers to demonstrate their capabilities to the world, through collections of unique furniture designs or furniture items made from innovative, eco-friendly materials. The event is expected to welcome more than 33,000 international visitors from Japan, USA, EU, India, Middle East, Africa, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore.

RAINBOW CNG AND THE FLY II DDF SYSTEM
Over the past year, Rainbow CNG has been assiduously testing a DDF system that would enable to optimize the performance of Diesel engines without invasion.
Our engineer, Mr. Attilio Guidetti, has been instrumental in developing the electronics with which this system can run.
The Diesel Dual fuel System allows an amount of gas to be injected into the engine through the air intake manifold. This improves the rate at which the engine burns fuel, and this translates into a better performance and/or a saving of fuel.
The DDF can be used with either CNG or LPG gas. Using the CNG gas obviously has a better environmental impact.
Starting in February 2009, Rainbow CNG together with Rainbow Fuel Energy Solutions Inc. first tested the system on some of the Jeepneys crowding the streets of Metro Manila. The Jeepneys with Isuzu C240 engine were found to be running 30% smoother and with noticeably improved engine performance. The production of black engine exhaust smoke was significantly reduced.
The testing has continued over a variety of vehicles in Thailand, from pick ups to cars to minivans. The system was tested successfully on Mercedes MD140 2.9 Vip Van finding that the range of fuel saving with CNG went from 45 % to 48%. and pick up Mitsubishi Strada 2.8 D, finding that the range of fuel saving with LPG went from 30 % to 35%.
Together with Engine Expert Enterprise of Malaysia, a successful test was also carried out on a truck Nissan lorry CD45, 20 ton, finding that the overall saving on Diesel consumption was of more than 40%.
THE CONVERTED NISSAN LORRY ON ROAD TEST
The great advantage of the DDF system is that it allows the vehicle operator the flexibility of using two fuels, can gain both economically and environmentally from this and can revert completely to diesel, which is a bonus in terms of the resale value of the vehicle.
The above graph depicts the flexibility of the system. The configuration can be easily adapted to the customer’s needs and driving style. The customer can decide at which level of RPM he wishes to inject gas into the system and get increased power or savings.
The second graph shows the increase of the torque and consequently the increase in power of the diesel engine in gas configuration.
