Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a DPD or Diesel Particulate Diffuser?
A. As the name suggests, the Diesel Particulate Diffuser minimises the amount of PM (Particulate matter) a truck emits via the exhaust.
The DPD, which is located midway along the truck's exhaust, combines an oxidation catalyst to clean nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, and a ceramic filter that traps PM.
DPD FAQs
Q. How frequently should manual regeneration be performed?
A. The number of manual regenerations required will vary depending on conditions. In Isuzu in-house testing, based on stop/start metro delivery applications (severe conditions for automatic DPD regeneration), manual regeneration was required perhaps once per month.
Q. Can manual regeneration be performed at any time?
A. No, the Engine Control Unit will not permit a manual regeneration unless the pressure differential is sufficient to justify it.
Q. Can the truck be moved or turned off when manual regeneration is in progress?
A. Yes, however manual regeneration will need to be performed again once the truck has been moved or restarted. To move or turn off the truck, simply press the DPD button (it will start flashing again), then the truck can be moved or turned off.
Q. Can I alter my exhaust on my DPD fitted vehicle?
A. No you can not alter or remove any components on the DPD exhaust system as it works on pressure differential supplying information to the vehicle ECU. Any changes will cause a system.
