Problematic DPFs - what do you need to know?

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are a mandatory component of modern diesel engines. They are designed to reduce emissions of harmful soot particles, but often become a source of problems for drivers. As a result of use, DPFs become clogged, which leads to:

• A decrease in engine power,
• Increased fuel consumption,
• The need to frequently burn out the filter,
• Costly service visits.

What does the DPF cleaning process look like?

In order to restore the efficiency of a clogged DPF, it is necessary to clean it in specialised cleaners. This process requires the filter to be disassembled and often cut apart and re-welded. An alternative is to burn out the DPF in an oven, which also involves immobilising the vehicle for several days. The cost of such regeneration can reach up to several hundred PLN.

An effective alternative - catalytic converter inserts instead of DPFs

Instead of investing in the costly cleaning and regeneration of DPFs, it is worth considering their complete replacement with catalytic converter inserts. This is the solution we offer at KAT-EKO, allowing you to:

• A permanent solution to the problem of a clogged DPF,
• No need for frequent cleaning,
• Efficient exhaust gas cleaning,
• Adequate pressure for the sensors, so there is often no need to interfere with the engine controller.

How it works?

A catalytic converter cartridge is a specially designed component that effectively filters the exhaust gas, yet does not tend to clog up like a traditional DPF. We offer a variety of cartridge sizes and EURO emission standards to suit almost any car model.

In addition, a properly sized catalytic converter insert generates the correct pressure in the exhaust system, which means that pressure sensors in most cases do not report an error. As a result, in many cars there is no need to modify the engine controller.

Summary - why replace the DPF with a catalytic converter insert?

• Lower costs - no need for frequent cleaning and regeneration of the DPF,
• Trouble-free operation - the catalytic converter cartridge does not clog,
• Adapted to exhaust emission standards - various cartridge variants to choose from,
• No interference with the control unit - in many cases the engine computer does not need to be modified,
• Correct operation of pressure sensors - a properly selected catalytic converter cartridge generates the correct pressure, preventing errors.
