Abstract

To limit the adverse health effects to human beings due to the sub-micrometer particles emitted from the diesel engine exhaust, various after treatment devices have been developed. Number of researches have been done to improve the efficiency and to reduce the cost of the filters used to trap these diesel particulate matters. In this paper glass fiber filters have been used to trap the particulate matters. This attempt to use glass fiber as a filter is mainly to reduce the cost of the filter and to find a better alternative for trapping diesel particulates.
