Truck EGR & DPF Service in Phoenix, AZ

What is the EGR System?

The EGR system, short for Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, is crafted to minimize Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. NOx stands as a primary pollutant responsible for phenomena like smog and acid rain. By redirecting a segment of the exhaust gases back into the engine cylinders, the EGR system diminishes the oxygen concentration (oxygen dilution) and minimizes peak combustion temperatures.

Common Concerns with the EGR System

Similar to other components, the EGR system can exhibit issues due to natural wear or the build-up of impurities. Unattended issues can result in compromised fuel economy, diminished performance, or significant engine harm. Typical problems involve:

• EGR valve malfunction or hindrance in opening/closing effectively.
• Obstructions in the EGR cooler or conduits.
• EGR sensors or controllers not functioning as intended.

What is the DPF?

The DPF is a cornerstone in contemporary diesel engines, devised to trap and accumulate soot particulates generated during combustion. If set free into our surroundings, these particulates can pose serious health risks to humans and adversely impact the environment.

DPF Regeneration: Over its life, the DPF may become laden with soot. To counter this, the filter experiences a phenomenon termed regeneration. This comes in two primary modes:

• Passive Regeneration: This happens organically when exhaust temperatures hit adequate highs, often during sustained highway commutes.
• Active Regeneration: Should passive regeneration not burn enough in specific driving scenarios or excess soot clogs the DPF, the engine management system will proactively commence an active regeneration by augmenting the exhaust temperature.

Hiccups in the regeneration cycle or a faulty DPF can cause dwindled engine output and escalated fuel usage.
