What does the particulate filter regeneration process look like?
During the regeneration process, the DPF Master Flash device forces water and air at high pressure into the interior of the particulate filter. The forces acting on the water particles cause a turbulent motion, in which the fluid particles move along colliding, often circular, trajectories. These produce a back-and-forth movement, causing them to collide and mix.
The next phenomenon that occurs during cleaning is cavitation, that is, the sudden change of the liquid’s state from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase as a result of the pressure difference. Thanks to these processes, the liquid passes smoothly through the narrow, clogged channels of the filter and removes all impurities, even those embedded in the micropores of the rough surface.
Unlike incineration in an induction furnace or immersing the filter in aggressive chemicals, only the hydrodynamic method guarantees a completely clean filter without damaging its ceramic structure: the very high temperatures of the induction furnace damage the filter monolith, and the ceramic likewise does not withstand well the direct action of aggressive chemicals.
To increase cleaning efficiency, we use the active cleaning product DPF Cleaner Extra Power, which, thanks to its unique formula, softens deposits of soot, ash, dust and other harmful substances, binding to the dirt particles and making them easier to remove.
