Filters Mann+Hummel fight emissions of particulates in diesel engines

The design of the element, with its tapered filter channels, and the selection of the material used SMF-AR and CRT filters provide considerable advantages over other commercially available diesel particulate filters. The ability to hold particles is approximately 2.5 times greater than conventional systems, using elements of ceramics. In addition, it is easy to clean and maintain and lasts for the life of the machine.

This filtering technology offers ideal conditions for mounting filters in the future in all the diesel engines used in commercial vehicles, machines for fixed, both top teams and conversion of used machinery construction and machinery.

Filters for particles of the company stand out by their 99 percent of filter effectiveness. They have longer life and working with long cleaning intervals. They involve low cleaning and maintenance costs, as well as an active or passive regeneration. They are suitable for a wide range of temperature of the exhaust gases and have an excellent entry and passage through the filter and a low backpressure in the exhaust gases. In addition, these recyclable steel filters have a self-supporting modular design and an easy adaptation to different spaces of installation.

In recent years, the robust and economic nature of the diesel engine has increased its popularity as a traction unit. Currently, diesel engines are the standard choice for mobile machinery used in construction and agriculture sector. However, despite the most modern technology of engines, particulate emissions are still a problem for the diesel engine. Scientific research indicates that the engines without diesel particulate filter are a danger to health.

Diesel engines are an invaluable contribution in achieving environmental protection objectives. Unlike gasoline engines, approximately 20 per cent less carbon dioxide they produce due to its low fuel consumption. However, for many years it has become evident that the particles of soot generated by diesel engines contribute to environmental pollution and are a risk to the health. The European Directive 97/68/EC for engines installed in non-road mobile machinery requires a value of 0.025 g/kWh for the emissions of particulates of diesel engines.

Today, Swiss legislation already requires the installation of a filter on each machine to build. To obtain the values of emission, the signature Mann+Hummel recommends using a diesel particulate filter.
