Where is the diesel particulate filter located on the Mercedes-Benz GL350?

Mercedes-Benz GL350 diesel particulate filter is located in the center of the engine. Definition of diesel particulate filter: Particulates in diesel engine exhaust (mainly carbon particles - the main component of black smoke) are a prominent issue in diesel engine emissions. For the treatment of particulate matter in automotive diesel engine exhaust, the filtration method is primarily used. The filter element of the particulate filter is made of porous ceramic, which has high filtration efficiency. The exhaust gas passes through the porous ceramic filter element into the exhaust pipe, while the particulates are retained on the filter element. Function of diesel particulate filter: Diesel particulate filters are divided into active regeneration and passive regeneration based on their working principle. Passive regeneration means that as long as specific temperature and pressure conditions are met, the collected particulates will be processed. Active regeneration refers to when the vehicle cannot meet specific reaction conditions, the system needs to actively create conditions to process the particulates. In the emission system of the locomotive, by using emery to block, the emission of particulates is stopped. Data shows that this measure can reduce pollutant emissions by up to 80%.
