Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are devices that are installed in an engine's exhaust system in order to filter particulate matter that exists in diesel fuel exhaust gas. DPFs can be used in non-road machines and automobiles. Efficiency of filters vary according to which filter medias are used and other factors such as type of regeneration.

DPFs require "regeneration" which is the process of "burning off" the accumulated particulate matter (or PM) that has collected in the filter.

How did diesel engine manufacturers comply with regulations aimed at reducing diesel engine emissions by 90 percent?

manufacturers were adding particulate filters as standard components of the diesel engine. The filters were designed to act as barriers, preventing the diesel emissions from being released into the air.

What is the difference between particulate filter and other oil filters?

All oil filters are particulate filters. They filter "particles" from the oil. How well they do it is another matter. Stick with a name brand filter and you'll be fine.

What gases do diesel engines emit?

Diesel engines primarily emit nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC). NOx contributes to smog and acid rain, while particulate matter can have serious health effects. Additionally, diesel engines produce less CO2 compared to gasoline engines, but they still contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Emission controls, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel particulate filters (DPF), are often used to reduce these harmful emissions.


What is the name for the bits of ash and dust put into the air by certain kinds of diesel engines?

The name for the bits of ash and dust put into the air by certain kinds of diesel engines is "particulate matter." These particles are small in size and can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Particulate matter emissions from diesel engines can be reduced through the use of filters and other emission control technologies.
