Are you planning on replacing your old filter with the Volvo D16 filter?

There are various diesel particulate filters (DPF) that you can find in the market today. This is why it has become a real challenge to find that one ideal filter that can fit right through your diesel vehicles and provide you with a great horsepower performance.

Luckily here at At DPFParts, we make sure that we stock the best line of DPF filters to ensure you great performance while hitting the road. We assess your diesel vehicles to be able to find an ideal filter that suits your vehicle’s needs.

Some of the best DPF filters we have are our Redline’s DPF Volvo series: D11, D13, and D16. Not only that we make sure to give you the best, but we also partner with the best DPF services, our sister company, DCARB USA, to ensure the best customer services for you. 

However, today let’s talk about Volvo DPF technology and how it’s ideal for your diesel vehicles.

Diesel-driven cars are equipped with a particulate filter, which results in more efficient emission control.

The particles in the exhaust gases are collected in the filter during normal driving. So-called “regeneration” is started in order to burn away the particles and empty the filter. This requires the engine to have reached normal operating temperature.

Regeneration of the particulate filter is automatic and normally takes 10-20 minutes. It may take a little longer at a low average speed. Fuel consumption, by then, may increase slightly during regeneration.

Regeneration System in Cold Weather

If the car is frequently driven short distances in cold weather then the engine does not reach normal operating temperature. This means that regeneration of the diesel particulate filter does not take place and the filter is not emptied.

When the filter has become approx. 80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangle illuminates, and the message means your Particulate filter is full.

You can start the regeneration of the filter by driving the car until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. We prefer you to perform this on a main road or motorway. The car should then be driven for approximately 20 minutes more.

One of our best selling DPFs is from Volvo. The Volvo DPF engine family consists of three engines: D11, D13, and D16. The VOLVO engines meet the very stringent new emissions standards which apply to all heavy-duty diesel engines built after January 1, 2010, for on-highway trucks.

Key Features of the VOLVO DPF engines:

• Improved Fuel Economy
• Extended Oil Drain Intervals
• Improved Cooling Capacity
• Low Maintenance Catalyzed Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
• Enhanced Engine Brake Performance
• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

The most popular is the Volvo D16 DPF filter.  Here are a few things you should know about it and why it has become a perfect choice.

If you are considering of getting a brand new DPF filter as a perfect solution for Volvo vehicles, then Volvo D16 DPF  is definitely the full support tuning you will need. Especially for working mack trucks, this DPF is exactly the horsepower engine you will need.  

With that, here are a few benefits you can get from this DPF filter:

The Volvo D16 DPF Technology

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system has been developed to act in combination with ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel to reduce particulate emissions to meet the requirement. The Exhaust After-Treatment System (EATS) includes all the engine and exhaust emissions control components that are required to meet the stringent US 2010 standard.

The DPF system reduces the unwanted elements to a more acceptable level defined in the regulations. There are multiple methods of reducing these emissions. VOLVO has selected to use a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) with a catalyzed diesel particulate filter. The other uses a diesel particulate filter of a different kind without a DOC and in its place uses a combustion chamber to heat the exhaust mixture thus causing active regeneration

The VOLVO systems chemically alter soot by high heat into a harmless gas that passes out through the stack pipe. At these high temperatures, the process is relatively rapid (10–12 minutes). Eventually, the filter must be removed to permit clearing away of the ash with special equipment.

VOLVO offers a compact DPF unit with a muffler. The compact unit attaches to the right frame rail, under the cab. The DPF-muffler has integrated heat insulation that covers most areas of the muffler. 

The DPF mufflers are un-insulated at the V-clamp body connections, inlet, and outlet pipes. Volvo’s main Solution for diesel vehicles for 2010 are the following:

• Ultra High-Pressure Fuel Injection to reduce the soot
• DPF after-treatment for Near-Zero Soot
• A little less EGR than 2007 to knock down the NOx
• SCR after-treatment for Near-Zero NOx

At DPF Parts, our products are guaranteed authentic and manufactured straight from our partners. As the leading dealers in DPF parts, we ensure that all our services are tailored to making sure our clients get all the necessary assessments before providing them with their auto parts.
