Abstract
Diesel cars employ a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce the discharge of fine dust. However, cases of fires caused by DPFs have been reported in diesel cars. In this study, I examined the regulation of exhaust gas and exhaust gas recirculation in diesel cars. Then, I analyzed cases of car fires caused by DPFs, their characteristics, car fire factors related to DPFs and preventive measures, and their consideration in investigations of the causes of fires. Finally, regarding car fire investigations, this study proposed a process of proving that fires are caused by DPFs.
