Real-World Comparison of Diesel Vehicle Emissions Before and After CDPF Installation

2025-07-13
Latest company news about Real-World Comparison of Diesel Vehicle Emissions Before and After CDPF Installation

Field test data clearly demonstrates that installing a CDPF (Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter) on diesel vehicles leads to significant improvements in emission performance. Major reductions are observed in particulate matter (PM), smoke opacity, and visible black smoke (Ringelmann scale).

Test Overview:

  • Vehicle: Euro IV light-duty diesel truck

  • Test Methods: Free acceleration + static opacity test

  • CDPF Specs: 400 CPSI, silicon carbide substrate, low-temp catalytic coating

  • Regeneration: Combined passive and active modes

  • Condition: Both cold-start and warm engine tests were conducted

Key Results Comparison:

Analysis:

  1. After CDPF installation, emissions remained low under both cold and hot engine conditions.

  2. The low-temperature catalyst and passive regeneration ensured stable soot oxidation.

  3. Black smoke and odor were virtually eliminated; emissions inspection passed smoothly.

  4. No adverse effects such as excessive backpressure or reduced engine power were observed.

Conclusion: High-efficiency CDPFs provide excellent emission reduction results for diesel vehicles, making them ideal for use in environmentally regulated areas like city logistics and construction zones.
