What is the difference between a flow-through diesel particulate filter and a wall-flow diesel particulate filter?
MINE-X® Flow-Through Filter (FTF): The FTF is constructed of alternating layers of corrugated metal foil and sintered metal fibres. The FTF is a non-blocking filter that allows some of the exhaust stream to exit the device unfiltered. Typical conversion efficiency of diesel particulate matter (soot) for the FTF ranges from 30-70%, depending on the engine duty cycle, and averages 50%. The DCL MINE-X® FTF has been extensively tested and has been verified/certified in several European countries for retrofit of older diesel vehicles. The FTF is mechanically extremely robust and provides low back-pressure even under worst case, low duty cycle, operating conditions. The FTF is a passively regenerating device, meaning it is installed in the exhaust system and works continuously without the need for external soot regeneration devices such as heating elements, burners, etc… MINE-X SOOTFILTER Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): The DPF is a two stage device with the first stage a metal pre-filter
