Round Cordierite Honeycomb Ceramic Diesel Particulate Filter

Diesel Particulate Filter Substrates and filters are key components of the emissions control system, which lives in the engine compartment and underneath trucks and cars, connecting the engine to the exhaust pipe.  When an engine burns fuel, diesel, or gasoline, its exhaust carries harmful byproducts like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulates.     As exhaust moves through the system, it passes through Corning’s substrates and filters -- this is where the magic happens.

 

Dpf Diesel Particulate Filter Diesel-powered vehicles use substrates to remediate gaseous pollutants and filters to remove particulate pollutants.  Current gasoline-powered vehicles only use substrates to remediate gaseous pollutants, though future regulations will require particulate filters for gasoline exhaust, too.

 

Universal ceramic DPF filter Filters and substrates are created from high-temperature, low-expansion materials, which can withstand scorching temperatures and rapid temperature changes. They are made using an extrusion process to create thousands of parallel channels with porous walls, which eventually anchor catalysts.  The extruded bodies are fired at high temperatures and then cut to a finished size.
