Does the 2019 Tayron have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The 2019 Tayron is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's exhaust system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Diesel engine pollution mainly comes from three sources—particulate emissions, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Among these, particulate emissions (soot) are mostly composed of tiny particles of carbon or carbon compounds (smaller than 4-20μm). How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals like platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon soot particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon soot particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the 2019 Tayron has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
