how does a Diesel Particle Filter work in a car engine? Isn’t it pointless if it dumps the “particles” anyway?
In: Engineering
A DPF captures particulates and soot. When the system determines it’s full, the computer will trigger a regeneration. The regeneration increases the temperatures, and burns the soot and hydrocarbons into ash. Eventually the filter will get too full of ash, and then it will need to be removed and cleaned or replaced.
