What is the Emission System?
The emission system in your vehicle plays a pivotal role in reducing the pollutants released into the environment. It controls the emission of gases and vapors from the combustion process and minimizes their impact on the air quality. A well-functioning emission system ensures your vehicle runs efficiently, meets emission regulations, and supports the environment.
Components of the Emission System
For Duramax and Powerstroke Engines
- EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve: Recirculates a portion of the exhaust gas back to the engine's combustion chamber, reducing NOx emissions.
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Captures soot and particulate matter from the exhaust, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere.
- SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction): Uses DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to convert NOx into nitrogen and water vapor.
- Oxygen Sensors: Monitor the level of oxygen in the exhaust and adjust fuel injection accordingly to optimize combustion and reduce emissions.
California's Emissions Standards
California leads the nation with some of the strictest emissions standards, enforced by the California Air Resource Board (CARB). These regulations aim to significantly reduce vehicular pollution and improve air quality. Compliance with these standards not only contributes to a healthier environment but also ensures your vehicle meets legal requirements for operation in the state.
