Right... When the vehicle goes through regen it disperses this anyway and all in one location. At least with the old diesels the smog was scattered little bits everywhere instead of all at one time and all in one place.
@@damianbigelow9511 Nope, that is definitely air. at the first part of the clip a few seconds in you can see the debris drifting sideways from the airstream. Also, if it was water it would be dripping down the back and sides of it. (edit) At the very start of the loop you can also see he has an air hose and nozzle.
Maybe you are ignorant You must know its function and mechanism of operation I mean, you should know the actual interaction there and you will find that this method is not as polluted as you think
99.9% of those particles have still been caught and are burned off cleanly during regular DPF regenerations on the vehicle. What you are seeing here is the 0.1% that is ash accumulation from oil, fuel, engine wear etc that couldn’t be burnt off during the regen cycles.
@@Adam_Rosenberg91 I know exactly what it is, please see the “🤣” to indicate my comment was lighthearted and mostly a jibe at people that don’t have a clue.
I was so close to opening my own DPF cleaning shop here in California. After getting prices and all that, I called around to see how I would have to handle the soot residue after I cleaned them. To my shock, no company was set up to collect it. I called EPA and other sources, and they could not find anything. I said, "Well, do I just throw it away in the trash?" I ended up not proceeding and just went full mobile heavy duty repairs. I have a friend who opened one up. I'm going to ask him what he does with the soot.
No don’t change it bruh. Less money spent more money earned. If it the government or an agency make it your mission to screw them in any way possible. And make it so they can’t do jack to u after. Don’t embolden them to make news rules. They will make it harder and more expensive for u.
This filter is shot anyway. The black stuff flying out is the soot, obviously, but the lighter stuff is the particles that the actual filter is made out of. So essentially, he’s blowing air so hard that it’s destroying the filter.
The black stuff is soot. The white stuff is ASH. ASH is what clogs the filters long term and comes mostly from burning motor oil. The ash can't be burned out like the soot can be, so there's no way to clean it out beyond physical intervention.
@@btwbrand Motor oil is made from hydrocarbons... hydrogen->burns into water and carbon->burns into CO2 if conditions of burning are bad then it can burn to toxic CO or leave this soot->unoxidised coal... So what is the white stuff again? What kind os substance is this "ASH" made off? I expect it to be made out of atoms of metals...
Bialy_1 Its the additives of the motor oil that are used to raise its ph level to counter sulfuric acid that is created from burning sulfur in the fuel. These additives leave solids behind after combustion that cannot be removed easily from the filter.
For all the people in the comments who seem to think this has something to do with CO2. You cannot really reduce CO2, it is inherent into the burning of fuel. The ideal burning of fuel would produce water and CO2. Mixing RME into diesel lowers it slightly. DPF is to limit the amount of particulates that for diesel engines are very small and hence deposit very deep into your lungs. So it traps them and periodically burns them off. I think most shops that clean them rinse them in some fluid rather than blowing it out with air like this. There are other types of emissions from burning diesel esp NOx that is reduced by Urea addition. The solution to reduce CO2 would be a source of diesel that is not fossil.
Commercial cleaners use hi psi air to blow them out in a enclosed cabinet to collect the dust. If that isn't enough they have to bake it in an oven then re-clean it in the cabinet. All the particulate must be disposed of properly to protect the environment. We tried steam cleaning them but the EPA made us collect all the water and dispose of it. Got expensive quick.

@@hotrodchevy4524 but I bought a used car and it was like that from the beginning, I have no idea how to even check it ;] edit: and here is possiblites so that the casing remains intact.
Забота о экологии она такая.... Фикция короче... Есть ещё лучше системы, скопить сажу (чтоб пройти тесты на экологию) а потом производить прожиг фильтра впрыскивая в него топливо... Что происходит на выхлопе думаю объяснять не нужно
Could have prepared a dust bag before blowing it, I mean, just like that all the fine particles filtered before they were released in the air have just been blown into the air 🤣. But still it was nice for the sake of showing how much crap came out of the filter.
@@rotorblade9508 well that changes everything, I thought it was sprayed with an air hose, didn’t realize it was water, if that’s the case I take back what I said about going into the air.
When I was watching the video, thought as you my friend, I think that emissions safety things are all lie 😅 For cleaning you spent money, for protecting you also spent money, for changing guess what, you spent money 😅
@@statisticsspeakforitself4205 with high pressure water in a sealed container so you can dispose of the contaminants correctly, mr smartass that's how it's done, not by blowing all the filtered stuff back where it shouldn't be 😂
guys you miss the point its supposed to contain soot while you drive in town so people wont brethe it in... when cleaning here it will settle down in ONE spot then probably rained upon and will mix with the earth eventually. Way less people breathe it in in this case only two people the cameraman and the one who cleans😂
@@em4703 oh yeah forgot about them good point. I’m guilty of washing my filter too but they are so expensive and most people don’t wash them so it’s not a big problem
@@jonytube probably 🤷♂️ ..the issue is dpf’s are required by law so not running them isn’t an option. I agree dpf as a whole probably does more harm then good compared to a properly tuned clean running modern diesel, don’t forget about all the plastic def jugs that never get recycled. We usually burn or bury them on the job sites. But the liberal gov knows better. Lots of truck owners do exactly the same things all across the US. Maybe we’ll get a new species of sea life, a soot shark? Maybe a diesel dolphin, who knows.
@@extremerc76 diesel dolphin is a good one lol but I totally get where you come from, here in Europe we go thru the same. Albeit the motoring paradigm being very different as most cars on the roads are powered by small diesel engines, which doesn't make sense if you travel short distances, as most Europoors do. Case in point, my mum bought a new car a few years back and I flat out told her to just get a gasoline powered one. None of that DPF etc bullshit and it returns very decent MPG figures considering its power. All in all, the measures were implemented half-assedly and it's a bureaucratic mess.
В том что сажа (углерод) сгорает (углекислый газ) на фильтре. И становится газом. То что тут вымыли- это сотая доля процента от того что он почистил за свою жизнь
Funktioniert top. Auch beim 3.0tdi audi vw. Hab meinen auch selber gespült. Erst Druckluft rückwärts das Asche und Ruß raus ist, dann mit Wasser schön gespült, spüli , kurz einziehen lassen und nochmal von beiden Seiten gespült. Solange bis nix mehr groß kommt. Ab aufn Gasgrill zum trocken und mit dem heisluftfön seitlich 600 Grad rein geblasen bis er trocken war. Differenzdruck 0 nach Einbau . Läuft nun wieder seit 20tkm ohne Probleme. Regeneriert wieder wie er soll, top.
@@kokkuri1475 was glaubst was die beim Filter reinigen in den Firmen machen? Nix anderes. Die scheinen muss raus und leider muss ich dich enttäuschen der Filter tut genau das was er soll. Er hält den Ruß weiterhin im Filter, regeneriert wie er soll und ändert auch seinen beladungszustannt. Nach 100tkm und tüv mit asu bestanden, läuft der Filter wie vorher. Die Filter sind nur wegen der Asche zu und Wasser macht dem Filter rein garnichts. Sonst müsste jeder kat oder rußpartikelfilter im Winter mit kondenswasserbildung im kalten Auspuff kaputt gehen.
Это не фильтр в привычном понимании, на нем частицы сажи не скапливаются, а догорают до безопасного состояния, тем самым снижая уровень СО2 мыть его вообще не обязательно (а таким давлением и нежелательно, ячейки поломать можно)
@@w54ivan слышь, чмо обиженное, он эту сажу на асфальт обычный смывает, потом она высыхает и в виде пыли в воздухе летает. Ты если дурачок от рождения, лучше не сиди в интернете и не печатай свои высеры трольские
The thing is, that if water is able to pass through the filter it wasn't needed to remove it at all. Properly functionimg engine should be able to cope with that.
@@snaXaminator Bro you can clean your dpf filter even if you are stationary, just rev the shit out of your car when it's been running for 15 minutes - just take fev minutes of high rev, but even better is - put it in N while driving or just push the clutch and rev it up - and you can do it while driving at 45 mph or at 80kmh in aread of the city where speed limit allows - it is worth it to take your car for an aggressive spin once in a while
I'm surprised that works so well with the staggered holes in the honeycomb. That literally works just as good as the expensive machine we bought lol I guess it does contain everything though😂
Это не фильтр, это катализатор. Он не должен задерживать в себе частицы. Не сгоревшие в двигателе вещества при контакте с платиной например, находящейся тонким слоем на поверхности катализатора, догорает не оставляя вредных примесей, так что очищать поверхность платины для контакта с выхлопными газами улучшает работу катализатора.
Having a DPF makes perfect sense. And for all those "it's getting on the atmosphere anyways", well... No. There's a huge difference between hot and cold air. Spraying cold air will keep these particles from entering the atmosphere (air density, remember?). All the resulting "solid soot" can be easily broomed off or washed away.
So many ppl here got no clue how this device works. So here. The exhaust contains black particles called soot. They get trapped in this filter. Then the filter actively burns them and they turn to ash. Ash is thousands of times smaller than soot. Ash gets kept inside the filter forever. The gaseous byproducts of soot burning get released past the dpf. When the ash content gets too high, the filter can't heat up enough to burn the black soot. Then the soot builds up, like you saw here, and the engine can't run properly. So then you must blow that last portion of unburned soot and the accumulated ash. Then the filter will be able to work again for a while. Efficiency will be lower, but it will work.
The soot doesn't become ash. It gets burned in the DPF becoming CO2 and H20. The ash comes from fuel contamination and consumed oil. If someone has a DPF full of ash, I'd wager a bet they're consuming oil, too.
@gutzb4ll Yeah, I'm wondering that. I'm not confident that's what it is, tho. But the pressure and flow of the air hose is crazy excessive compared to engine operation.
So eventually the black diesel smoke particals are finally released in the Atmosphere after collecting it through DPF. So what's the point of DPF then?
Normally the black thing which is harmfull for you is burned out automatically and burned amounts of soot are much higher than what can be observed here. Dpf is really important for all of us.
The black soot never stays in the air it settles to the ground. That dpf system is pure shit and the cost to maintain it is a joke thousands of dollars most of the time around 10k plus to replace the garbage
i do dpf cleaning professionally and this is how not to do it. blast cabinet with a fine filter to catch all of the particles so its not sent out in the environment which is what the filter is made for!!!
I'm curious of the method you use to clean them. I work for a CAT dealer, and I was told that once they are full they go in the trash and that's it. Most of the people I've seen "clean" them end up destroying it like this guy.
@@Tracert-mc1hu we have 3 levels of cleaning bronze silver and gold. brons is just a basic blow out and bake silver is blow out flush bake then followed by a final blow out. silver gets it about 95% clean and for gold its the same as silver except you get a ultrasonic rinse along with 2 flushes witch gets it about 99% clean, all of this is done with environment safety in mind. we have blast cabinets with huge filters to catch any and all particles that come out of the filter. any dpf can be cleaned. i had a cat dpf doc scr from a little skid steer. i drill a small hole big enough to fit a inspection camera in and proceed to cut at the factory welds to clean up the filters then re weld them back together following my guide marks to make sure its aligned. dealership will always throw them out or tell you to replace as they lose buisness if you just get it cleaned.
@@montrealgaragelesentreprisesdp That's interesting. I'm surprised my dealership doesn't offer that, because they have facilities for chroming and rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, along with an entire reconditioning shop for engines, transmissions, and pumps. I would think they could make a killing off of "rebuilt" DPFs. But I'm just a lowly mechanic.
@@Tracert-mc1hu its a big investment upfront for the equiptment needed to do everything. a regular cleaning will run around 300$ CAD where as a new dpf will run anywhere from $1000-$6000. we do alot of repairs also for bungs and flanges to cracks and holes in the casing.
@@montrealgaragelesentreprisesdp Yeah, I guess that would make sense. Also with it being a dealer, they would need to warranty all work they do as well.
Just hollow it out and weld it back up. That's what people do here in the UK. Diesels are tested for cat emissions but not DPF. The DPF is visual inspection only, so know one knows if it's empty lol
это не фильтр а катализатор, и то что он выдувает - не пыль, а сгоревшее топливо с маслом. так что он не особо то и загрязняет. а вот то что он скорее всего выбил кратер с другой стороны катализатора, это он не покажет
people in comments don't seem to understand the bad stuff has already been reacted with, the precious metals inside react with them and change them into biproducts which aren't harmful.
Purple power you won’t have to go through all that. Use it straight. Cleans it immediately don’t have the shake it let it set overnight 15 minutes it’s done.
For those that think this is bad for the environment, it's not because the catalytic converter transforms and neutralizes toxic gases and turns them into less harmful gases altering them chemically
for those dum*asses that upvoted your comment, this NOT a catalytic converter, is a DPF filter, and yes is very bad for the environment and people breathing next to it!
