DPF FILTER: FUNCTION, CLEANING OR REMOVAL

The DPF filter rarely breaks down but should be regularly maintained. Cleaning or changing a DPF filter is quite an expensive undertaking in our conditions, so vehicle owners sometimes choose to remove it. To give you full information on the purpose of the DPF filter and the consequences of removing it, we have prepared this brief information. You can also check our Car parts. There are several ways to exclude a defective DPF filter from use on the vehicle. In most cases, the filter needs to be physically removed. By doing so, you are currently solving part of the problem, but at the same time, you are creating the potential for a far greater number of new problems, which could ultimately damage your car permanently. Think carefully before deciding to remove the DPF FILTER! DPF FILTER NEEDS YOUR CAR! Reasons why a DPF filter is needed for your car The function of the DPF filter is to prevent particulate matter from the exhaust from entering the atmosphere. These particles are the largest air pollutant, so all developed countries have introduced stringent standards to reduce their release into the atmosphere. Removing the filters loses any EURO standard. Even though you have purchased the latest generation car, if you destroy the DPF filter, your car will be treated as a non-EURO standard vehicle during any testing, which is vehicles manufactured before July 1992. It is forbidden to operate and trade cars that do not have DPF filter in EU countries. Under existing EU rules, it is impossible to register a car that has been physically destroyed by a DPF filter. One of the protection measures is the ban on the trade of such cars. Take a look at the DPF FILTERS on offer It is expected that our exhaust regulations will soon be adapted to European Union law. This means that if you want to drive an older generation vehicle, you will have to pay more for the registration fee. New vehicles that have a DPF filter will not be able to register if the filter is not operational. Destroying filters is not good because you also need to change the software on your vehicle. If you uninstall the DPF filter from your vehicle, you must also change all the software that controls the on-board engine operation. This means that software for cars that do not have a particulate filter is installed on your car's computer, and such cars ceased production in 2008. Once you destroy the "no-back" filter. However, once you remove the filter and are not satisfied with it, all you have to do is buy a new filter. Vehicle owners should avoid this scenario at all costs because the price of the new filter is very high. Why are DPF filters introduced in developed countries? As early as the early 1980s, a regulation was introduced in the United States that most working machines must have a particulate filter. Previously, it has been observed that soot particles generated by the combustion of diesel engines have a very harmful environmental impact. Research has found that the graphite soot structure is very dangerous for humans. The particle size of only 1 to 5 µm can adversely affect the respiratory system. Standards have been set stipulating that the concentration of soot in the air 5 nanograms / m3 is a zone of industrial air pollution, and in cases where the concentration is greater than 50 nanograms / m3 it is considered catastrophic for air. Since motor vehicles are one of the largest pollutants in the environment, standards have been introduced to prescribe how much one vehicle can release soot into the atmosphere. Year after year, these norms are being tightened. Thus, the European Union has introduced regulations on the emission of certain particulate matter for most types of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, tractors, trains, similar machines, and barges, but these restrictions do not apply to offshore vessels and aircraft.
