DPF.
Table 2.1 – Guidelines for DPF Installation
For turbocharged engines, install the DPF as close as
possible to the turbo outlet.
For naturally aspirated engines, install the DPF as close as
possible to the exhaust manifold.
The DPF should be mounted horizontally to reduce wear on
the filter. If horizontal mounting is not possible, contact
DCL before mounting the DPF vertically.
Mount the DPF according to the flow direction sticker
provided next to the nameplate. The manner in which the
filter is designed negates the ability to reverse the direction
of flow through the filter when reinstalling after removal
using the provided clamps.
Ensure the DPF does not support the weight of the exhaust
pipe or any other exhaust system components.
Mount the DPF so that it is isolated from external loads.
For some applications, DCL may recommend the
installation of heat insulation around the DPF.
See separate instruction for installation of the DCL Exhaust
Pressure Monitor/Logger.
