Abstract

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have been used in heavy-duty engine applications for nearly three decades. Recently, DPFs have also been used in off-road vehicles due to needs to reduce air pollution. Ceramic DPFs are characterized by light-weight, low pressure-drop, rapid regeneration, and excellent chemical resistance at high temperature. This article focuses on the development of a new ceramic DPF composed of Nano-materials for tractor engines. Functional tests showed that the filters absorb almost 10–20% of the pollutant gases of the engine. DPFs made from these new materials do not show cracking or melting under uncontrolled regeneration.
