Note: This is the third in a series that looks at the diesel particulate filter and maintenance best practices that an impact its lifecycle. The first installment, "Diesel coolant heaters boost DPF ...

Hailing it as a “major breakthrough” in emissions-era engine oils, Chevron announced that its new Delo 600 ADF heavy duty engine oil drastically reduces the rate of diesel particulate (DPF) clogging ...

The diesel engine has undergone a significant evolution over the past two decades. Most of these changes were designed to reduce emissions and air pollution, but once early generation emission goals ...

Every little bit of efficiency a fleet can squeeze out of engines can go a long way in maintaining a healthy profit margin. Even for fleets that spec the latest in aero kits, low rolling resistant ...

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an important part of modern diesel vehicles that many people don’t understand. The DPF’s main job is to catch harmful soot and ash from the exhaust stream before ...

How DPFs trap soot and ash to reduce emissions. How regular maintenance acn prevent DPF failure and costly replacements. Signs of DPF issues that should prompt immediate attention. How proper oil and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT The use of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) in conjunction with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is now a well-established ...

Low pressure Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) can be used along with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems to reduce NOx emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines. Normally the use of EGR decreases ...

Increasingly stringent diesel engine exhaust emissions regulations have, over the past 20 years, reduced output of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 95% and particulate emissions by 90% in heavy trucks. These ...

The reputation of diesel-engined cars suffered irreversible damage thanks to the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal, even though many diesel cars have proven to be far more efficient than their ...
