Customisable DPFs

for heavy-duty engines, heavy vehicles and mining equipments

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) have emerged as an integral part of the emission control systems for heavy-duty engines and vehicles. Designed to capture diesel particulates, these filters are customizable, accommodating the varying requirements of different heavy-duty engines.

Their adaptability stems from advanced engineering practices that consider different factors such as engine size, vehicle function, and the expected particulate emission levels.

Benefits of Upgrading DPF

Flowtech DPFs are expertly crafted using the finest materials, including options like aluminized or stainless steel. 

Improved Air Quality: DPFs have a crucial role in reducing the amount of harmful diesel particulates released into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to improved air quality.

Compliance with Emission Standards: With a DPF in place, heavy vehicles and mining equipment can meet strict emission regulations, facilitating compliance and avoiding potential fines or penalties.

Health Protection: By limiting the release of hazardous particulates, DPFs protect the health of individuals operating vehicles or machinery, as well as the general public.

Prolonged Equipment Life: The ability of DPFs to resist thermal stress and regenerate effectively can extend the life and functionality of the engine, offering an economical benefit over time.

Understanding DPF

 

If you’re in the automotive, excavation, generator, pump or mining industries, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial component of your equipment.

This DPF is designed specifically for diesel engines to filter out harmful pollutants from exhaust gases, helping your vehicles meet the stringent global standards for emissions.

The DPF is not only important for the health of your engine and maintaining its peak performance, but it also plays a pivotal role in reducing the environmental impact of your operations.

How DPFs Work

 

Diesel engines emit harmful particles when their fuel is burnt, and DPFs work by trapping these particles, which are commonly known as diesel particulate matter (DPM).

The DPF contains a ceramic honeycomb filter that acts as a sieve, catching the particulate matter suspended in the exhaust gases and preventing it from being released into the atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system is a technology developed to reduce the amount of particulate matter emitted especially from diesel engines. The DPF works by trapping soot produced during combustion in an exhaust filter, which then reduces pollutants released into the atmosphere. It is now widely used in many modern diesel vehicles as part of tighter automotive emissions regulations, especially in Australia.

The DPF system works by capturing soot from exhaust gases which are produced during the combustion process.

It then filters out these particles before releasing the exhaust gas into the atmosphere. This reduces emissions released into the environment and makes it safer for people to work in or near areas where diesel-powered equipment is being used. Here is a good example of custom DPF we’ve designed.

  1. Reduced Emissions: The DPF system significantly reduces the amount of harmful particulates released into the atmosphere, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
  2. Compliance with Regulations: With stringent emissions regulations in place, particularly in Australia, the DPF system helps diesel vehicles and equipment meet these standards.
  3. Improved Public Health: By minimizing the release of potentially harmful soot and particles, the DPF system also contributes to improved public health.
  4. Enhanced Engine Performance: A DPF system can actually enhance the performance of a diesel engine by maintaining a cleaner combustion process.
  5. Cost Savings: Given that non-compliance with emissions regulations can result in hefty fines, using a DPF system can result in significant long-term cost savings.

It is recommended that the DPF system should be inspected at least once a year, and any necessary maintenance or cleaning should take place if needed. If the filter becomes blocked, this can cause increased exhaust emissions and engine damage which could lead to costly repairs.

The cost of a DPF system can vary depending on the vehicle or equipment’s make and model.

It also depends on factors such as the choice of material, whether it’s 304 or 316 stainless steel, and whether you need a standalone filter or a combination filter that includes a catalyst and DPF in one. For a more detailed quote, feel free to reach out to our DPF Specialist at 1300 885 089.
