Particulate Sensor
Cummins®

The Particulate Sensor (Part Number: 5461554RX) manufactured by Cummins is a component designed to measure the particulate matter (PM) emissions from the exhaust system of a commercial truck. It is an important part of the engine's emission control system, specifically used in diesel engines equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The Particulate Sensor works by monitoring the level of soot particles present in the exhaust gases. It utilizes advanced technology to detect and measure the concentration of these microscopic particles emitted from the combustion process. This data is then used by the engine control unit (ECU) to ensure optimal performance and compliance with emissions regulations. By constantly monitoring the particulate levels, the Particulate Sensor plays a crucial role in the truck's emissions control strategy. It helps to determine when the DPF needs to go through a regeneration process, where accumulated soot is burned off to prevent clogging. Additionally, it assists in maintaining the overall efficiency of the exhaust system and minimizing the environmental impact of the vehicle. Overall, the Particulate Sensor (Part Number: 5461554RX) manufactured by Cummins is an essential component that enables proper monitoring and control of particulate emissions in commercial trucks equipped with a DPF.
