Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS) components

The Volvo 9700 US/CAN bus has an exhaust
gasses aftertreatment system which complies
with the environment emissions regulation
EPA 17.
The Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS)
complies with the emissions regulation EPA
17 have the following main components:
1 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
2 Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) dosing
valve.
3 Catalytic converter.
In normal operation, the catalyst surface
can reach high temperatures around by 662°
F (350° C) so you have to take extreme
precautions to avoid a burn, if for any reason
its required an inspection in nearest catalyst
or DPF areas specially when the engine
is in operation or just getting to a certain
destination.
Inspection of the Exhaust Aftertreatment
System (EATS) components to detect a
W0100283
possible failure and fixed by authorized
technicians as soon as possible. Its also
important to check in the catalyst or in the
DPF surfaces does not have substance traces
that may be potentially flammable and may be
cause fire due to the high system temperatures
during normal operation.
New stringent standards for exhaust
emissions control begin with the US 2017
engine model year. The Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) system has been developed
to act in combination with ultra low sulfur
diesel (ULSD) fuel to reduce particulate
emissions to meet the requirement. The
Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS)
includes all the engine and exhaust emissions
control components that are required to meet
the stringent EPA 17 standard.
