Removal and re-fitting service also available
As with any filter, they ‘filter’ or trap particles, in this case harmful diesel exhaust soot particles, so they have to be emptied regularly to maintain performance.
The DPF needs to be cleaned regularly, through a process called regeneration, either active, passive or forced regeneration, the accumulated soot is burnt off at high temperature (around 600°c) to leave only a residue of ash, effectively renewing or regenerating the filter, ready to take on more pollution from the engine.
Every vehicle type & engine combination can have differing reasons as to why the filter blocks.
The rate of particulates generated by the engine, the quality of the fuel, quality of the or oil, driving style, even the location of the DPF in the exhaust system can all contribute to the filter blocking or not regenerating fully.
We offer DPF Cleaning Bristol and the surrounding areas can rely on to be thorough and safe. The DPF filter can either be removed and delivered to us, or we can remove, and re-fit once cleaned (additional costs will apply if you wish us to remove the DPF from the vehicle Enquire by telephone).
The DPF filter will be submerged in a chemical bath for at least 12 hours, this allows the chemical to breakdown the carbon deposits. Once drained of chemicals the DPF will undergo high pressure water flushing at 80 degrees c, once complete high-pressure air will then be blasted through the filter forcing more carbon to be removed, this flushing process will be repeated several times until carbon ceases exit the DPF. Finally, the DPF will undergo drying which can reach temperatures tempretures up to 600 degrees c.
Our success rate using this process is around 98% successful which is why we’re the company to go to for DPF Cleaning Bristol.
If we are unable to clean your DPF we will only charge a small nominal fee to cover the chemicals used.
