Catalytic Converters - Diesel
Diesel engines offer better fuel economy, long-term durability and lower gas
emissions than gasoline engines. Nevertheless, diesel emissions are an important
topic for catalyst development. Sales growth of diesel cars has raised concern
on the possible health effects from the ultra-fine particulates in diesel
emissions. All new diesel-engined cars sold in Europe are now fitted with
oxidation catalysts.
Diesel Oxidation Catalysts lower particulate mass
by up to 50%, by destruction of the organic fraction of the particulate, as well
as making significant reductions in CO, HC and the characteristic diesel odour.
However, the number of particles is unchanged and issues associated with the
effects of ultra-fine particulates remain unresolved.
Ecoflex® products
are currently used with DOCs have proven to be an excellent choice for those
systems.
