DPFs are commonly found across most diesel engines today. Since initial development, DPF technology has come a long way to offer better functionality in engines. With different equipment categories and engine variants, there are some basic differences across DPF varieties used in light, medium and heavy duty as well as off-highway, highway, agriculture, PowerGen and forestry equipment. However, despite these differences in vehicle type, the functionality of the DPFs remains the same. The DPF filter is an expensive component that plays an integral role in the overall health of your engine. With time, your DPF can become clogged and cause problems if it is not addressed quickly. Some issues that you may see occur are with with fuel...
There is only one proven method for thoroughly cleaning every cell in the DPF to like-new condition. Ultrasonic DPF cleaning restores all the components to OE specifications, ensuring better fuel economy and maximum use from every DPF filter. The DPF Company cleaning system lowers costs by extending the useful life of every filter and including a hassle-free, industry-leading one-year performance guarantee to each operator. Our proprietary cleaning method uses high-frequency sound waves at millions of impulses per second. These impulses cause micro-miniature bubbles to break down soot and ash. Our specially formulated solution catches the contaminants and keeps them from sticking back to the cell walls, carrying all contaminants away from each cell. The DPF Company’s superior DPF...
Understanding Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs): What They Are and Why Your Vehicle Needs One DPF stands for diesel particulate filter, and as the name suggests, it stops tiny diesel particles (otherwise known as soot) that are emitted from your vehicle’s exhaust. If certain precautions are not adhered to, the way DPF’s work can create problems. What is a DPF Filter? Diesel engines burn fuel a lot differently than gas engines. Soot is created as a result of the combustion process. This ultra-fine, nearly invisible material can cause serious environmental issues, it’s the DPF’s job to catch and destroy them before this happens. DPF’s were standardized in 2009, but some vehicles had this technology before then. ...
Cleaning Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an important part of keeping heavy trucks on the road and running smoothly. The DPF is designed to remove soot an diesel particulate matter from a truck’s exhaust. The ash left behind in the filter builds up and eventually reduces it’s effectiveness. For this reason, filter cleaning is required. Here are 5 tips to follow that will guarantee your DPF is always doing it’s job: Most heavy-duty DPF’s need cleaning every 200,000 to 250,000 miles. Properly cleaning a DPF will extend the life of the filter, keep the engine running smoothly and minimize the risk of future breakdowns. A DPF must be operating at 100% to be effective. If your...
