What is Diesel Particulate Filter?

A diesel particulate filter is treated as an exhaust after-treatment system that functions by trapping harmful exhaust emission particles like soot, ash, and other small particles. This system is self-capable for cleaning exhaust emission particles with active and passive regeneration methods. 

The passive regeneration process automatically happens when a truck runs at a steady speed (usually at 70mph) on the highway for at least 45 minutes. Due to driving at a constant speed, the exhaust's heat is generated and burns off the soot particles. ​
In the active regeneration process, the system automatically activates the process of injecting post-combustion fuel to increase the temperature of the exhaust system when the amount of accumulated exhaust emission particles reaches a particular level.  This process can happen even if the truck is not running long enough to activate the passive regeneration.
​
However, if the system is unable to clean the clogged DPF, it will notify you through a warning light on the dashboard. In such cases, it is important to consider DPF cleaning from any experienced heavy equipment service provider like Heavy Equipment Repair Services Reno as a part of diesel truck exhaust repair.

Why is DPF Cleaning Essential?

There is no doubt the exhaust after-treatment system constantly collects the fatal exhaust emissions produced due to the combustion in internal combustion engines.  These harmful exhaust emissions accumulate in the diesel particulate filter over time. So it is important to remove these exhaust emissions by cleaning and servicing the filter regularly.
​
It is recommended that truck owners should consider DPF cleaning once a year or every 50,000-mile run. Instead, the overall performance of your truck can be affected due to the clogged DPF. Besides that, it can create problems for truck owners in case they are considering warranty claims.
