Does the Shadow Leopard have a particulate filter?
2 Answers
Shadow Leopard does not have a particulate filter. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Application technology of the particulate filter: The particulate filter utilizes advanced electronic control systems, catalytic coatings, and fuel-additive catalysts. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then released.
As someone who pays close attention to automotive technical details, I've driven the Emgrand model and noticed that almost all gasoline-powered versions compliant with China's National VI emission standards are equipped with a particulate filter. This is primarily to meet stringent emission regulations by capturing microscopic particles in the exhaust. Over time, it's important to perform regular regeneration procedures, such as driving at high speeds to burn off the accumulated particles, preventing blockages that could affect engine performance or increase fuel consumption. Overall, this device is environmentally beneficial and quite reasonably designed. Maintaining good driving habits makes it easy to upkeep.
