Diesel engine parts for post-treatment of diesel engine gas exhaust

In summary, the conversation is about finding parts made of stainless steel 304 for the post-treatment of diesel engine gas. The suggested solution is to try Google searches and also reach out to specific individuals who may have knowledge on the topic. The parts in question may be flexible gaskets or spark arrestors made with braided wire to catch carbon particles and prevent fires.

TL;DR Summary
Try to find parts from post-treatment of diesel engine gas
Hi folks,

Any idea about what is it?
I am required to find parts like these items which are made of stainless steel 304 and used on the post-treatment of diesel engine gas.

They look like flexible gaskets. But, my best guess is that it is a spark arrestor. When a diesel engine is working too hard, strands of carbon blown out through the exhaust, are hot enough to re-ignite when they reach the air and start fires in dry vegetation.
The braided wire would work like a HEPA filter to catch large particles. They would be held in the wire tangle until excess oxygen is available to burn the carbon, so the filter is self cleaning.

Braided wire works as a flame trap in gasoline vehicles because the wire cools the flame front.

1. What is the purpose of post-treatment for diesel engine gas exhaust?

The purpose of post-treatment for diesel engine gas exhaust is to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust gases. This is necessary to meet environmental regulations and improve air quality.

2. What are the common types of post-treatment systems for diesel engines?

The most common types of post-treatment systems for diesel engines include diesel particulate filters (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC). These systems use different methods to reduce emissions of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants.

3. How do diesel engine parts for post-treatment work?

Diesel engine parts for post-treatment work by capturing and converting harmful emissions into less harmful substances. For example, a DPF traps particulate matter and then burns it off, while an SCR system uses a catalyst to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water.

4. What are the benefits of using post-treatment systems for diesel engines?

The benefits of using post-treatment systems for diesel engines include reducing harmful emissions, improving air quality, and meeting environmental regulations. These systems also help to increase fuel efficiency and extend the lifespan of the engine by reducing wear and tear caused by pollutants.

5. How often do diesel engine parts for post-treatment need to be replaced?

The lifespan of diesel engine parts for post-treatment can vary depending on the type of system and the operating conditions of the engine. Generally, these parts should be inspected and replaced as needed to ensure proper functioning and compliance with emissions standards.
