What is the DPF Filter?

 

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
Diesel particulate filters comprise of a ceramic compact material of a cellular structure with small channels.

How does the diesel filter work?
As the exhaust gas enters the special filter’s chambers, it is blocked by the caps placed on this upper and lower end. With no way out, it moves towards the porous ceramic walls that withhold the diesel particles, making the emissions friendlier (even compared to gasoline engines) to our health and the environment. Furthermore, due to the heat developed, the particles are burnt and are subsequently emitted as carbon dioxide (CO2).

Long-term
The ceramic surfaces hold metallic substances, which are gradually changing into ashes that block the pores of the filter walls. Thus the exhaust is  blocked, obstructing the normal flow of gas, with a direct impact on the engine’s proper function.

Cleaning
We are the first and possibly unique in Greece engaged in cleaning filter soot.
