Do you remember these days?
![Page 3: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is a DPF?
• Emission control device to trap particulate matter
• Designed to oxidize soot
• Required by EPA on 2007 engines
• High temperature ceramic material designed to operate at about 750° F or 400° C
• 5000 to 7000 dead end holes approximately 3/64” square x 12” deep
![Page 4: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• The Particular Matter (PM) filter removes soot particles from the exhaust by passing the exhaust gases, primarily C02, through a ceramic wall flow filter
How Does It Work?
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
Diesel Particulate Filter
![Page 5: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Soot particles (particulate matter – PM) are trapped on or in the
ceramic filter wall

Diesel Exhaust
•Soot – unburned fuel & oil
•Ash – metals & minerals
![Page 7: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Soot – Removed by Regeneration
• Overloading of fuels or oils
• Loads quickly do to unfavorable operating conditions
Causes:
Low operating temperatures
Engine malfunctions
Worn-out engines
![Page 8: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What Is Ash? • Ash is material left after all carbon is oxidized
Primary constituents
Remains of oil & additives
Engine wear metals
Mineral compounds
Ash will remain permanently in the filter until cleaned
Hardened ash plugs
![Page 9: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ash – Must be cleaned out
• Loads Lineal Over Time
• Will not burn or regenerate
• Eventually destroys the DPF
Ash Accretion on Cell Wall

![Page 11: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Two Current Thought Processes on Cleaning
• Reactive – Deal with problem when the DPF clogs
up and truck is stranded on the side of the road
• Preventative – DPF needs regular service that
prevents down time and increases engine efficiency
![Page 12: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Manufacturer Recommendations
• Cummins
Recommends Cleaning every 300K (4500 hrs)
• International
Recommends Cleaning every 250K
• Paccar
Recommends Cleaning every 200K (6000 hrs)
• Caterpillar
Recommends Cleaning every 150-250K (4500 hrs)
• Detroit Diesel (DD15)
Recommends Cleaning every 300K (9000 hrs)

Value of a Fleet’s DPF Investment
• Assumptions: 500 DPF-equipped trucks & average replacement cost of $3000 per DPF
($3000 x 500 = $1,500,000)
At Risk = $1,500,000 million
![Page 14: DPF Maintenance De-Mystified · What is a DPF? • Emission control device to trap particulate matter • Designed to oxidize soot • Required by EPA on 2007 engines …](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5af8c8907f8b9a5f588d33e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why Clean DPFs?
• Extend life of DPF
• High replacement cost between $3000 and $8000
• Higher chance of failure over 200K miles
• Increased Fuel Economy – 3-4%
• More power
• Resale Value Secondary Market

Visual Inspection
• Inspection based on established criteria
Identify good and bad cores prior to cleaning process
• Examples of acceptable filters:
1. Soot on inlet
2. Clean on outlet
3. Stain on outlet
4. Bent flanges
5. Scrapes on ceramic
