Inside the combustion chamber, Particulate Matter (PM) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) have conflicting chemical factors. A high combustion temperature leads to economic fuel consumption and low particulate (PM) levels, BUT it generates a high rate of Nox production. No Diesel Engine currently can be designed to meet both PM and NOx emission standards without the use of an exhaust treatment system. In either situation, an exhaust aftertreatment system is needed to reduce the levels of pollutants down to the required limits. Thanks to the ATS system, engineers can develop engines with extremely low fuel consumption while still meeting the emission targets.

As the emission legislation becomes more and more severe, it is fundamental that the engine is developed together with its ATS system. FPT develops specific solutions, according to the characteristics and the mission profile each FPT engine has been designed for. Every component of the ATS system has been developed, tested and validated to outstand the most severe conditions and ensure optimal performance and longevity in any working condition of your FPT engine.

After a certain amount of suit is built up into the filter, it can be difficult for the gases to exit, and the engine performance can be affected. Make sure to perform a full regenerating cycle when requested. Make sure that your urea tank is filled with certified DEF / AdBlue® additive only. Other fluids, not compliant with DEF specifications, may damage the system and could cause serious damage to your machine. Furthermore, exhaust emissions would no longer meet legal standards.
