Reduce Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) At Source What does it mean when your exhaust emits black diesel smoke? Basically, the black smoke from a diesel engine indicates a problem. The likely result is that the life of the engine may be shortened and or cause...
Understanding Diesel Particulate Filters Definition Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are devices that physically capture diesel particulates to prevent their release into the atmosphere. Diesel particulate filter materials have been developed that...
Understanding Diesel Emissions (Part 2) Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM), perhaps the most characteristic of diesel emissions, is responsible for the black smoke/soot traditionally associated with diesel-powered vehicles. The diesel particulate matter emission is...
Understanding Diesel Emissions (Part 1) Diesel engines, like other internal combustion engines, convert chemical energy contained in the fuel into mechanical power. Diesel fuel is a mixture of hydrocarbons which — during an ideal combustion process— would produce...
