All right, so how does DEF work exactly in a diesel exhaust system?
7:17
So DEF is essentially a part of a complete system.
7:22
So if you think about the diesel engine, the exhaust system, it's one component of that process.
7:28
So you have the engine that's creating heat, creating exhaust, and that could go through multiple pieces of the system.
7:35
So that exhaust may go through an EGR, may go through a diesel oxidation catalyst, which is basically going to Think of that similarly to a catalytic converter in a passenger car gasoline vehicle.
7:48
There's also a component that's the diesel particulate filter.
7:52
And then you start where the DEF comes into play.
10:38
Can you tell us about what those are and what they mean to end users?
