Diesel Particulate Filter Technology

Until recently, the complexity of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system has hindered its commercial success. Stringent regulations of diesel emissions has lead to advancements in this technology, therefore mainstreaming the use of DPFs in light- and heavy-duty diesel filtration applications.

This book covers the latest and most important research in DPF systems, focusing mainly on the advancements of the last five years (2002-2006). Editor Timothy V. Johnson selected the top 29 SAE papers covering the most significant research in this technology.

This reference includes an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and technical papers focusing on seven main sections.
