Diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology is in the forefront of
California's Diesel Risk Reduction Program. Diesel Emission Control
Strategies (DECS) has been verified by ARB to effectively reduce
diesel emissions from diesel-fueled internal combustion engines by
at least 85%. This course discusses diesel emissions and
health effects; DPF theory, operation, construction, and application;
as well as regulations requiring particulate filters. Topics include:
diesel oxidation catalysts, continually regenerating traps,
selective catalyst reduction/continually regenerating traps,
in addition to passive, active, online and offline regenerating
strategies. (This course does not include a detailed hands-on maintenance
component. If you are interested in attending a class that does
have a detailed hands-on component, please visit the
California
Council on Diesel Engine Technology (CCDET) website for more
information and schedule. There is a fee to attend CCDET courses.)
The class schedule is periodically updated; please
check back for additional dates and locations. If you are interested
in hosting this course, please contact the course coordinator. |
