STRUCTURE OF THE DPF
The DPF consists of silicon carbide (SIC) and is coated with a precious metal. They are designed to
reduce emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and collect particulate matter from
engine exhaust to minimize soot removal into the air. Soot particles accumulate in the channels of
the coated diesel filter and are burned off at regular intervals (“regeneration”) to prevent the filter
from becoming clogged.
Excessive soot in the filter reduces engine performance and cracks the filter during regeneration.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminates to indicate a malfunction in the DPF. If such a
situation arises, an authorized service center should be consulted for immediate resolution of the
problem. During regeneration, additional fuel is injected through multiple booster injections to
increase exhaust gas temperature. The DPF temperature rises to approx. 600 °C and the soot residue
is oxidized or burned with carbon dioxide.
Partex Particle Filter Cleaning
It is a consumer grade chemical additive designed to clean and rejuvenate the clogged diesel
particulate filter (DPF) of diesel engines, thereby reducing particulate emissions.
It is a consumer grade chemical additive designed to clean and rejuvenate the clogged diesel
particulate filter (DPF) of diesel engines, thereby reducing particulate emissions.
Characteristics:
- Reduces soot formation during the combustion process
- Easy to clean and refresh without removing the clogged DPF filter
- Provides complete combustion of soot particles
- Prevents maintenance costs during the manual regeneration process of a clogged DPF
Ensures ideal combustion and thus reduces fuel consumption. It performs particularly well in
vehicles in city traffic.
- It is compatible with the built-in regeneration system in vehicles.
- It gives very quick results.
