Tackling exhaust fumes with KC filters
KC Business Services Ltd has highlighted the advantages of its EHC exhaust filtration systems range, in light of the potential dangers posed by engine emissions particularly when vehicles are operated indoors or in confined spaces.
“An often-overlooked fact is that modern diesel vehicles emit more of the very small toxic exhaust particles,” said KC Business Services.
“This is due to more accurate combustion and pre-installed ceramic particulate filters that trap larger particles around PM 10 in size.
“The most dangerous particles are between PM 0.20- PM 0.40 in size as they contain the absolute most carcinogenic toxins, but also because they penetrate deeper and get stuck in our lung tissue.
“Diesel and petrol engine emissions include the following elements in varying proportions: carbon (soot), water (H2O), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), oxides of sulphur such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, various hydrocarbons (HC) [and] polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
“These elements are reduced with modern technology, but this technology is generally only working correctly when the engine is at running temperature; with the engine cold the emissions are greater. This is where the use of temporary filters come into their own as they work from startup.
“Thanks to the technology developed at EHC, over 99 per cent of the hazardous particles all the way down to PM0.12 can be contained before entering the workspace. This makes it possible to work with large machines and vehicles even in an indoor environment.”
The company can provide filtration options for all engine sizes, either as a permanent feature or for temporary fitment.
