Clean Emission
Module (CEM)
The CEM comprises of two main components in a
single unit, t
he Diesel Oxidation Catalyst DOC and
the Diesel Particulate Filter DPF. The function of the
CEM is to ensure that the engine exhaust meets
the required
emissions regulation for the country of
operation.
Theenginee
xhaust is connected by a flexible pipe to
the CEM. The exhaust gases pass through the DOC
in order to remove contaminants, carbon monoxide,
and hydroca
rbons. The exhaust gases then enter the
DPF where any particulate matter soot and ash will
be trapped.
The CEM uses a passive regeneration process to
ensure that normal operation of the engine removes
the soot. T
he soot is removed at an equal rate of
which the soot is captured. The ash remains in the
DPF and must be removed at an engine overhaul.
Engine Service Life
Engine efficiency and maximum utilization of engine
performance depend on the adherence to proper
operati
on and maintenance recommendations. In
addition, use recommended fuels, coolants, and
lubricants. Use the Operation and Maintenance
Manual a
s a guide for required engine maintenance.
Expected engine life is generally predicted by the
averag
e power that is demanded. The average power
that is demanded is based on fuel consumption of
the engine over a period of time. Reduced hours of
opera
tion at full throttle and/or operating at reduced
throttle settings result in a lower average power
demand. Reduced hours of operation will increase
the le
ngth of operating time before an engine
overhaul is required. For more information, refer to
the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Overhaul
Cons
iderations” topic (Maintenance Section).

rmarket P roducts and Perkins
Engines
Perkins does not warrant the quality or performance
of non-Perkins fluids and filters.
When auxiliary devices, accessories, or consumables
(filters, additives, catalysts,) which are made by other
man

Perkins warranty is not affected simply because of
such use.
However, failures that result from the installation
or use of other manufacturers devices,
ac
