In a diesel particulate trap, a filter (4), which is formed with a three-dimensional mesh-like structure porus body (fig. 13) made of a heat resistant metal or metal unwoven cloth, is placed in a case (1) containing therein a trap connected to an exhaust of a diesel engine. The filter surfaces of the filter are parallel to the direction of a flow of exhaust gas. The pore diameter, thickness, a material packing density or a mass diameter of the filter is varied in the lengthwise of the filter. With this unique structure, the flow velocity of the exhaust gas passing through the filter (4) is uniform over the entire length of the filter. Therefore the particulate collecting or trapping efficiency is improved. Further, the filter, when bearing catalyst thereon, has an additional function to remove poisonous gas components from the exhaust gas. |
