Research on the Impact of DPF Resistance Characteristics on Diesel Performance

Abstract

Fixing Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in diesel is an effective measure to solve the particulate emissions. As PM is accumulated in DPF constantly, it will increase diesel exhaust resistance and affect diesel performance. Through building the exhaust resistance test rig and diesel test bench, the thesis studies the effects of particulate matter loading in DPF on diesel exhaust resistance and diesel performance. The results show that it is the most effective to conduct silicon carbide filter’s thermal regeneration when particulate matter loading is 8g/L.
