Diesel Pro is pleased to announce we are an official distributor for the complete range of PowerEdge DPF and DOC’s.
Key Benefits of the PowerEdge DPF/DOC line include:
- 3-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty
- Necessary Gaskets and Seals are Included
- Genuine OEM Substrates
- Stainless steel canister resists corrosion better than OE components
- Designed and manufactured in the USA
- More time in passive re-gen, even compared with OEM, saves fuel
- Brand New, No Core Return required
What is a DPF? DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter and have been commonly installed in on-highway and off-highway applications beginning in the mid 2000’s. The DPF filter is design to prevent soot (also known as unburnt fuel) from exiting the exhaust stream into the atmosphere
- Why do they fail?
- Soot Buildup/Clogging
- Incomplete Regeneration
- Oil Ash buildup
- Improper maintenance including use of the incorrect engine oil
- Mechanical damage such as cracks or holes in the substrate
What is a DOC? DOC stands for Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. It’s an emissions control device used in diesel engines to reduce harmful pollutants in the exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere. The main function of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst is to oxidize (chemically convert) certain pollutants present in the exhaust stream into less harmful substances.
Here’s how a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst typically works:
- Oxidation: The catalyst contains materials such as platinum, palladium, or other transition metals supported on a ceramic or metallic substrate. These catalyst materials facilitate chemical reactions that convert harmful pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) through oxidation reactions.
- Temperature Sensitivity: The effectiveness of a DOC is influenced by temperature. It requires a certain temperature threshold to operate efficiently. For this reason, most diesel vehicles equipped with DOCs also have systems in place to raise the exhaust gas temperature when necessary to ensure proper catalyst function.
- Particulate Matter: While the primary function of a DOC is to reduce CO and HC emissions, it can also have some limited effect on reducing particulate matter (PM), although its main role in PM reduction is often less significant compared to other emissions control devices like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs).
