MBE 900 ENGINE 2007 OPERATOR'S GUIDE

AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM

In order to meet current emissions
regulations, the traditional muf

fl

er has

been replaced by a new Aftertreatment
Device (ATD). This device consists of
a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and
a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Together these two components burn
off collected particulate matter in a
process called “regeneration.” The

key to successful regeneration is high
exhaust temperature for an extended
period of time. Without adequate
temperatures for regeneration, the

fi

lter will continue to trap particulates

and eventually plug. In order to avoid
plugging, Detroit Diesel has designed
an actively regenerated Aftertreatment
System (ATS). See Figure 25.
