Are you looking for DPF Cleaning in Wolverhampton?
DPF, which stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, is a device specially designed for diesel engines. It collects and filters the harmful gases released by the engine while generating power to run the vehicle. It usually regenerates itself to burn the soot etc., but during this process of regeneration, there is always a bit of residual soot left behind, which accumulates over time and can jeopardise the DPF after a certain period by clogging it.
Our experts recommend cleaning the DPF every 75,000-100,000 miles or depending on how often you use the vehicle in a year. So, if you are seeking professional help for DPF cleaning Wolverhampton, Mazcare Ltd. is your go-to destination. Our trained and experienced technicians here use the latest tools and technology to achieve optimum results.
How does a DPF work?
In simple terms, DPF collects and stores the harmful exhaust soot until the engine provides it with a high enough temperature to burn the soot and convert it into a rather harmless ash.
If the automatic regeneration stops, you should take your vehicle to our experts as soon as possible. They will carry out one of the two DPF cleaning methods, depending on the extend of the blockage:
Passive Regeneration
Passive regeneration means the engine must reach a temperature of 300-350?. To achieve this temperature and initiate passive regeneration, it is required to either drive the car for a longer distance or increase the speed on the motorway. Once the required temperature levels are achieved, a chemical reaction takes place in the DPF to burn off the stored soot.
Active Regeneration
During this process, extra fuel is injected into the DPF so that the temperature can be raised to burn off the soot.
