Ward Diesel’s No Smoke System

No Smoke is an apparatus-mounted, direct-source capture system that works automatically and also meets and exceeds OSHA, NIOSH and NFPA standards for firehouse air quality.

No Smoke’s electronic control module automatically engages the diverter unit, which directs the diesel exhaust from the vehicle’s exhaust system into the No Smoke system, where the diesel particulates are trapped in the ceramic filter.

For up to 99 seconds, enough time for the vehicle to exit the bay, only filtered, soot-free exhaust is released into the air, eliminating all risk of diesel soot inhalation and contamination. No Smoke also kicks into action when the driver backs into the bay.
In addition, an optional manual override switch allows the driver to activate the No Smoke system as needed, offering added protection during pump checks in the firehouse, emergency room stops, on-scene pump operations and at community events.

The new No Smoke 2 high-performance substrate with proprietary wash coat removes gaseous matter on 2007 model engines and beyond. www.warddiesel.com
