HOT STUFF – Proventia CHILI™ M & L
Electrically regenerated filter for light-duty work machines
Want to keep your machines up and running without extra downtimes? The self-maintaining CHILI™ is the best solution for your emission control.
CHILI™ is a brand-new product for light to medium duty machines and vehicles like forklifts, mini excavators, street sweepers and vans. CHILI™ is an electrically regenerated filter using electricity to raise the filter temperature to the optimal level for regeneration. CHILI™ is a perfect solution for the limited spaces and low exhaust temperatures of small diesel machines and vehicles.

On-board regeneration - no downtimesIncluding an onboard regeneration system, CHILI™ cleans itself during the driving by heating the filter elements electrically. This means no time-wasting downtimes for cleaning the emission system in workshops. CHILI™ is at its best in diesel engines up to 130 kW. |

Operation principle
The intelligent CHILI™ offers a unique reliability based on several sintered metal filter elements and self-maintenance: when a filter needs regeneration, exhaust gases pass through other filters. The filter itself serves as a resistive heater that draws the power needed for regeneration from the machine's electrical system. The filter is regenerated during the driving. CHILI™ adapts the regeneration to the operation routines, not only time-based but continuously measuring the back pressure and only initiating the regeneration when necessary. At the same time, CHILI™ gains high PM reduction rates cost-efficiently.

| Step 1: Exhaust gas goes through all 3 filter elements. | Step 2: First element regenerates. Exhaust gas goes through second and third filter elements. | Step 3: Second element regenerates. Exhaust gas goes through first and third filter elements. | Step 4: Third element regenerates. Exhaust gas goes through first and second filter elements. |
