Abstract
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) canister for an exhaust gas aftertreatment module is disclosed. The DPF canister may include a canister housing having an inlet flange and an outlet flange attached at opposite ends, and a canister sealing flange installed there between. The outlet flange may have a greater outer diameter than the inlet flange, and the canister sealing flange may have a greater outer diameter than the inlet and outlet flanges. A DPF receptacle may include a cylindrical receptacle housing with a receptacle sealing flange attached at one end and having a receptacle sealing flange inner diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the inlet flange, but less than the outer diameters of the outlet flange and the canister sealing flange so that the DPF canister can only be installed with the inlet flange inserted through the receptacle sealing flange.
