FAP Particle Filter Introduced on the 607 in 2000 in a world debut, the FAP particle filter is a system that has become a worldwide standard. It is now fitted to all Australian Peugeot HDi passenger cars as well as to the Expert Professional.
FAP reduces particle emissions to a quantity that is almost impossible to measure. In fact, tests have shown that the FAP particle filter removes more than 99.9% of the fine particles before they could escape into the environment.
How FAP works Phase 1: filtering
This first phase involves catching the soot particles in a porous, silicon carbide filter. Phase 2: elimination of particles
The second step, eliminating the soot particles, takes place in the regeneration phase. This periodic operation (after several hundred kilometres) is automatic and transparent to the driver. It simply consists in burning the soot particles that have accumulated in the filter, at a very temperature. |
