Step-by-Step Guide to RECD Kits Fitting for Vehicles in India
With growing environmental concerns and stricter emission norms, Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD Kits) have become essential for reducing vehicle pollution in India. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and compliance with regulations.
- Vehicle Assessment: Before fitting an RECD kit, inspect the vehicles engine type, fuel system, and exhaust condition to determine compatibility and select the most suitable kit.
- Choose the Right RECD Kit: Select a kit designed for the vehicles make, model and emission requirements. Different kits are available for diesel, petrol, and commercial vehicles.
- Prepare the Vehicle: Clean the exhaust system, check for leaks, and ensure the engine is in good working condition. Proper preparation ensures efficient kit installation and operation.
- Position the RECD Kit Components: Locate where the filter, catalytic converter, or SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) components will be installed in the exhaust system for maximum efficiency.
- Install the RECD Kit: Securely attach all components using the manufacturer-provided brackets, clamps, and fittings. Ensure there are no loose connections or misaligned parts.
- Connect Electrical and Sensor Systems: For advanced kits with sensors or electronic controls, properly wire the system to the vehicles ECU to ensure accurate monitoring and functionality.
- Test the Installation: Start the engine and check for leaks, unusual noises, or warning signals. Ensure the RECD kit is functioning properly and reducing emissions effectively.
