Thermo King's diesel particulate filter (DPF) for its TriPac Hybrid Auxiliary Idle Reduction and Temperature Management System has been approved for use by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Thermo King's TriPac DPF Gains CARB Approval
The DPF is designed to meet TriPac APU emissions requirements required by CARB for APUs running in California that are attached to class 8 tractors with 2007 or newer engines.

Regeneration, the process of burning off particulate matter trapped in the filter element, takes place during normal driving hours with no disruption to the driver during rest periods. Plus, extended APU runtime between regenerations assures minimal driver involvement.

The TriPac DPF does not reduce fuel economy, will not place extra strain on the APU, or alter scheduled maintenance intervals. The filter also reduces engine noise, making TriPac system quieter.

The DPF has nine different mounting options, based on vehicle considerations, enabling easy installation on most modern tractors despite the trend of less available frame rail space. It is also designed for minimal maintenance, which reduces costs and downtime.

The DPF is now available as an aftermarket or original equipment option to support both current and new customers and is backed by the Thermo King Dealer Network.
