Without filter
With filter
The Pirelli Feelpure system combines the particulate filter
(also known as FAP or DPF) with a regeneration technology
based on the use of a specific catalysing additive (called CAM
FBC). This is the most widespread and reliable technology available
today.
Feelpure is comprised by three components:
1. a particulate filter in porous silicon carbide (SiC), fitted in a
stainless steel can inside the muffler;
2. an additive to be added to ordinary fuel, which permits complete
combustion of the carbonaceous particulate previously
trapped by the filter (regeneration process);
3. a control unit that monitors the entire system, which detects
counterpressure at the exhaust and the exceeding of alarm
thresholds. It doses the additive to be added to the fuel on
vehicles with this feature.
Recent tests, conducted by Eni Tecnologie Laboratories, the European
Commission Joint Research Centre in Ispra and the University
of Biel under the VERT programme, have shown reductions of
over 90% in mass particulate and 99% in finer particulate, over 90%
in carbon monoxide and up to 69% of unburned hydrocarbons.
Certifications and recognition
Pirelli operates in compliance with the most rigorous standards
imposed by various countries to limit harmful emissions
and has received the most rigorous certifications at the
international level. In Italy, Pirelli Eco Technology was the first
to win approval, pursuant to Transport Ministry Decree no. 39 of
25 January 2008, for particulate filters for light and heavy duty
commercial vehicles.
