Stationary Regeneration Safety
Before beginning a stationary regen operation there are several safety precautions
to be aware of:
Do not do a stationary regeneration in a poorly ventilated location.
There is the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Be sure that there are no flammables near the exhaust pipes to avoid
fires.
Do not touch the exhaust pipes during stationary regen to avoid injury.
Be sure there are no people close to the exhaust pipes.
After stationary regeneration starts, white smoke may be discharged
from the exhaust pipe. This is not a fault, but steam discharged when the
exhaust temperature is low. As the exhaust temperature increases, the
white smoke should disappear.
Stationary regen may not operate while the engine is cold. Start it after
the engine has warmed to normal operating temperature, 140° F (60° C)
or above.
The exhaust gas has a different odor from that of a conventional diesel
engine. This is not a fault. The different odor is generated because the
exhaust gas is purified by the catalyst integrated in the DPF.
Other Stationary Regeneration Topics
Besides the safety concerns listed above, the operator must also be aware of these
additional stationary regen topics:
Extended duration of engine idling will rapidly increase soot levels
in the DPF, requiring more frequent regen operations.
It is not a good practice to keep the DPF switch depressed in the
CANCEL position for extended periods of time, as this could reduce the
standby-time allowed prior to some of the regen modes.
It is advised to not perform any additional machine functions during the
stationary regen.
The operator does not have to be in the operator’s seat during the sta-
tionary or reset regen modes.
Inadvertent pressing of the DPF regen switch does not harm the DPF
system, since the DPF will not execute a regen request until all the
requirements in the operating procedures are met.
The stationary regen procedure consumes approximately 1 gal. (3,8 L)
of diesel fuel.
