For diesel particulate filters, individual channels are open at one end and plugged at the other, creating a checkerboard face design. Exhaust enters the open (inlet) channels, flows down toward the blocked, or plugged channel ending at the other side. The pressure forces...
This is important because when diesel engines are operating at low RPMs, more soot is generated. That can fill up the diesel particulate filter (DPF) which has been installed on diesel engines since 2008. This can require a regen or running at full operating temperature for some time/distance...
The Diesel Particular Filter should look after itself, but it may get blocked up if you do lots of short journeys. How to prevent a clogged DPF A weekly run up the motorway should stop it from blocking. If it does get overloaded, a warning light will come on the dashboard. ...
Diesel high-pressure EGR valvesdivers high-flow exhaust gas with soot as it enters the diesel particulate filter. The gas is then transferred to the inlet manifold via a pipe or internal drillings. Diesel low-pressure EGR valvesdivert the harmful gas after passing through the particulate filter....
Diesel particulate filter The exact appearance of this light can vary, but it usually has a series of circles arranged in a rectangle to resemble an exhaust, and some add three semicircles designed to look like a cloud. The particulate filter on diesel-engined cars can become clogged and caus...
A recent study has found that 1,800 cars failed their MOT due to their DPF filter being removed. This is illegal and leads to excess soot entering the air. But what can you do to avoid costly repair bills and how can MotorEasy help?
Every diesel engine needs a FICM. This crucial component controls virtually every aspect of the infection process, including the timing and pressure of the fuel. Learn more about this essential part and how it keeps your engine running at peak efficiency. What Does the FICM Do? The FICM contro...
“More maintenance is required on a diesel with the DEF fluid that needs to be added to the truck about every 2,000 to 3,000 miles,” said Brian Tabel, executive director of marketing for Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “The diesel particulate filter (DPF) also needs to be serviced ...
Air filters used in vehicles are the engine air filters, cabin air filters, car exhaust filters, and diesel particulate filters (DPF). Baghouse filters are pollution control equipment that removes particulates and pollutants in flue gases from process equipment before releasing them into the atmospher...
“The advantage of a battery APU: It’s less maintenance, you’re not changing oil, and you don’t have the diesel engine to maintain. Where there are California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements, you also don’t have to worry about diesel particulate filter and the additional cost ...
