Problems solved by technology

While it is possible to determine the pressure differential within the exhaust system, adding a pressure sensor to the exhaust system increases the cost of the system
Also, the pressure sensor is not as durable as other types of sensors in the exhaust system

Abstract

A method for determining soot mass oxidized during a particulate filter oxidation procedure is disclosed. In one example, soot mass is determined via an Arrhenius equation. The approach may provide cost savings and reliability improvements as compared to other ways of determining soot mass.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining the mass of soot stored in a particulate filter. 【Background technique】 [0002] Carbonaceous soot may be a secondary product of some combustion processes. For example, some diesel engines may produce carbonaceous soot during periods of high engine load. More recently, gasoline engines have incorporated direct fuel injection into the engine cylinders to improve engine performance and fuel economy. However, injecting fuel directly into the engine cylinders also increases the likelihood of gasoline engines producing carbonaceous soot. Therefore, some manufacturers consider installing particulate filters in the exhaust system of gasoline engines. [0003] The particulate filter retains carbonaceous soot, but over time, the accumulated soot in the particulate filter can reduce the flow of exhaust gas through the exhaust system. Therefore, engine back pressure may increase, thereby reducing engine effi...
