Diesel Particulate Filters By ICS Work More Effectively

Industrial Ceramic Solutions (ICS) has been participating in developing products for diesel particulate filters (DPF) since 1990.
• The US Department of Energy has invested over $2 million in ICS DPF product development.
• ICS's pleated ceramic fiber DPF cartridge is available for lease or other arrangements to qualified automotive suppliers.
• The Company is now developing an active microwave-regenerated DPF for Auxiliary Power Units, Truck Refrigeration Units, and Hybrid-Diesel Vehicles.
• Other fuel injection/DOC regeneration techniques which burn gasoline result in a 2% to 4% fuel penalty.
• Microwave regeneration as provided by ICS has been shown to have a 0.1% fuel penalty, and requires none of the catalyst cost for an added DOC device.
• The schematic shows the simplicity of the Microwave-Regenerated DPF.
