Rypos DPFs pass CARB compliance test
The CARB certification shows Rypos’ active diesel particulate filters go beyond normal EPA emissions standards.
Considerations for reconditioned diesel particulate filters
“Reconditioned”, baked or cleaned diesel particulate filters (DPF) units offer short term financial benefit. In terms of functionality, the overall cost to the customer is much higher. In reality these processes can deactivate the original catalyst and stress the DPF substrate to an even greater extent during normal active regen cycling. Reconditioned units present an
Diesel particulate filter fleet maintenance options and risk assessment
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) problems will cause an engine to lose power, have a lower fuel economy, cause poor throttle responses and can make a truck’s engine harder to start. These issues can limit engine performance and prevent the truck from moving. When trucks are not in service neither is your business. DPF preventative maintenance
Benefits the customer can expect with Durafit DPFs
As demands for cleaner emissions increase, the designers of diesel aftertreatment systems continue to focus on ways to improve the performance of those systems to remove more particulate matter, and improve the overall efficiency of the filtration installed on the vehicle. Improvements targeted included enhancement of the coating on the substrate to improve chemical reactions
DPF failures and common causes
The truck’s DPF removes diesel soot from the exhaust emissions of a diesel engine, and like any other filter, it slowly gets clogged up with the soot that it traps and if not serviced when required most likely fails. What are the a few key common causes of DPF failure? High Idle Times. High idle
Durafit DPF features and benefits
Manufactured in Hobart, Ind., Durafit is the only vertically integrated DPF manufacturer in the aftermarket. What does that mean? We control the technology, manufacturing process and product performance; Durafit utilizes our own coating designs; state of the art coating process; steel processing; and canning and wielding capabilities. The Durafit DPF features: OEM grade substrate; Advanced catalysts
The Importance of Validation in the DPF Cleaning and Restoration Process
Recently we heard an individual refer to a DPF as a sealed trash can. At Ceramex, we can identify with that definition since it is impossible to see how full it is. As a result, the tendency is to keep pumping ash into them until they will not take any more. Unfortunately, when the trash
Volvo Trucks details new maintenance intervals
Volvo Trucks in North America extended its recommended maintenance intervals for diesel engine oil and diesel particulate filters on all model year 2011 and newer Volvo trucks equipped with Volvo’s D11, D13 or D16 engines. For engine oil and filters, the new recommended maintenance intervals add 10,000 miles to the previous life of an oil change
