The advances that have resulted in the record yields and disease and drought resistance you enjoy on your farm today come at the expense of complexity. Similarly, efforts to reduce diesel emissions take many systems and service procedures to understand. In a profit-sensitive industry such as agriculture, it is critical that you do not allow emission controls to cause costly downtime or failure. Depending on the application, hp and year of construction, modern diesel engines bear little resemblance to the past due to the integration of exhaust gas reduction devices. These systems are identified by acronyms such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), dpf emulator (Diesel Particulate Filter) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). Egr dpf , SCR, DOC AND DPF STATEMENTS EGR is an engine design feature that introduces inert exhaust gases into the combustion chamber to act as filler. This reduces the pressure and heat of combustion to reduce nitrogen oxide (NO...

Private cars, taxis, and public transport have their uses. However, if you want the utmost comfort and privacy, chauffeur services are a great choice. To get the most out of your experience, you need to choose the right chauffeur service and use it properly. Choosing the right chauffeur service is made easier thanks to the internet.

These pages also usually have customer testimonials and/or links to external websites where you can check out independent testimonials. You can also search for them separately. vehicle Assuming you are hiring a chauffeur service in the UK , rest assured t...

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been standard on diesel engines for more than a decade and helps in reducing the harmful emissions that these types of engines create. Like a catalytic converter, the DPF is part of the exhaust system and contains some sort of a substrate material. However, that is where the similarities end. Rather than burning off excess hydrocarbons as the catalytic converter does with the exhaust stream of a gasoline engine, the DPF is set up to store the soot and ash created by a diesel-fueled engine. The DPF will store this soot and ash to later burn them off during a regeneration cycle.  There are three different types of regeneration cycles that are commonly used to clean out most DPF systems – active, passive and forced. Each type of regeneration cycle needs its own specific set of conditions to occur. How they occur and the convenience of their occurrence correlates inversely with how well they clean out the DPF.  You could compare these regener...

Millions of drivers in the UK are putting off having their car serviced because they are worried about unexpected bills to fix problems. That’s the finding of a new survey by the RAC, which revealed that 47 per cent of UK drivers worry about being landed with an unexpected bill following a vehicle service, and that these worries are enough for 24 per cent to put off booking a service altogether. This equates to some 3.8 million drivers in the UK, the breakdown organisation revealed. It also suggests that there could be millions of cars on the country’s roads that are not in the best condition. Lauren French, RAC MOT Assist product manager, commented: “The best advice to any driver is to keep on dpf filter removal work – the quicker problems are identified, often the cheaper they are to remedy.” In addition to regular service, you may also want to spend money on  car tuning in Manchester , to ensure your motor is always running at its most efficient. The RAC research also found...

Drivers will always want to get the best out of their cars that they can and often this means looking into   smart car remapping   and similar to ensure that it is running at optimum level – but what exactly is remapping and how could you and your vehicle benefit? Here are some common questions and answers on this particular topic. What exactly is remapping ? You may well hear remapping referred to as ECU tuning – when the settings on the engine control unit in the car are altered to improve vehicle performance. Drivers are able to customize how the engine works, allowing them to change the output of their car to suit their personal preferences. What does remapping do? Vehicles typically see an increase in power after remapping and you may also find that your car feels a lot faster immediately after tuning has taken place, as well. The engine of your car may also become more responsive, so you could find yourself changing gear less often. How does it work? You can change the d...
