Sic Diesel Particulate Filter Used to Remove Pm and Soot From The Exhaust Gas, Diesel Engine, Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide diesel particulate filter cores also look like catalytic converter cores that have had alternate channels plugged - again the plugs force the exhaust gas flow through the wall and the particulate collects on the inlet face.
*Excellent capturing performance
*Small exhaust back pressure
*Nice corrosion resistance to oil, ash, and engine scouring
*Excellent heat resistance and  thermal shock resistance.
*Lower thermal expansion

A diesel particulate filter removes particulate matter from diesel exhaust by physical filtration. The common type is a ceramic (cordierite or silicon carbide) honeycomb substrate. The structure like an emissions catalyst substrate with the channels blocked at alternate ends. The exhaust gasses must therefore flow through the walls between the channels and the particulate matter is deposited on the walls.

Other filter types are available, using sintered metal plates, foamed metal structures, fibre mats and other materials as the filtration medium.
