you are right in that the DPF was intended to hold all the soot generated in urban environments and spew it out into the countryside, where apparently it doesn't matter so much...

Giving the 2nd ~Turbo a good blow in fact helps to blow out the ash in the DPF, only the soot is burnt off during Passive or Active Regeneration. If the DPF temperature is above 250C Passive Regeneration will burn off most of any soot produced.

its possible you could be happily Regenerating, burning off all your soot, but slowly accumulating ash.

That's the first time I've heard a claim that ash can be blown out of a DPF. One reason not to exercise the 2nd turbo is it adds to the ash load every time you use it ( if it's not had the drain mod).

The egr cooler is designed to cool normal exhaust gas temperature but it's unlikely going to be able to reduce the highly raised EGT to the same level at regen. The regen process doesn't spew out soot as it's burnt Wink so it 'spews' out the product of that combustion process and anyway emissions from diesel engines (particulates and NOX) are almost solely a problem in urban environments as far as air quality is concerned due to the traffic density and proximity to more people so you are right it doesn't matter so much in the countryside. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Hahaha, that doesn't explain anything, it's a theory from 1983 and a patent of some snake-oil from 2011 - neither of which are in current use.

Too lazy to even google it? Rolling with laughter here is just 1 mention. https://www.crdperformance.com/dpf-introduction/dpf-regeneration/

The Regeneration Process
Regeneration is the term used to describe cleaning of the DPF. During this process the ‘wet and sooty’ particulate matter is subjected to further combustion inside the DPF itself. Surface temperatures inside the DPF can exceed 600 Degrees Celsius, at which point the soot turns into a hot white ash. Some of this ash is blown out of the exhaust whilst some is retained inside the core of the DPF. There are 3 methods diesel particulate filters can be regenerated: Passively, actively or forced.

Well I learned something new Bow down Bow down
Tried to not be lazy and did a quick search for myself but really there is not much out there repeating this and nothing that indicates any ash being blown out other than during the regeneration cycle when the ash is fine and has not started to form into larger particles ( it’s a fascinating subject)
BTW - that article also mentions some data (600deg C) not in current use Rolling with laughter 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

It simply explains the basic chemical process inside a DPF for regeneration and is the same basic science I remember being taught way back at school. If that was ‘theory’ and snake oil can you update me with the current science for carbon combustion / DPF regeneration i.e what does it now produce (sorry ‘spew’) if it’s not CO2 and at what temperature does this happen? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Yes 600 deg c is the temp you need to burn carbon cleanly as referenced by many articles. My comment you are quoting was in reference to Phoenix who seems to think it’s out dated or snake oil ( hint - the meaning is in th Rolling with laughter that followed)

Your thoughts being that driving gently to not stress the drivetrain on a 150k mile car is bad ? Or is it the more frequent oil changes? Or avoiding short urban trips and only putting on motorway miles ? - or have I missed something? Embarassed 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Surely the parts of the drivetrain are designed for such use. If they break then mend them.

And if I wanted to prolong it's life and not have to spend money on or worry about replacing drivetrain parts ? Also the L322 feels just right wafting gently along. I'm not talking about driving like a slow road nuisance either as it gets up to speed very briskly without needing the 2nd turbo. Surly this is the very essence of the L322 - effortlessness progress in any situation Thumbs Up 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
