The invention discloses a
diesel particulate filter (DPF) carbon accumulation
estimation method. The difference between total pressure before a DPF and total pressure after the DPF is detected by a
pressure difference sensor, the total flow resistance of the DPF is obtained according to the difference between the total pressure before the DPF and the total pressure after the DPF and
exhaust gas volume flow, the flow resistance generated by the
residual carbon of the DPF is obtained according to ash content
mass and the
exhaust gas volume flow, white carrier flow resistance and the flow resistance generated by the
residual carbon subtracted from the total flow resistance gives flow resistance generated by accumulated carbon, and according to the flow resistance generated by the accumulated carbon and the
exhaust gas volume flow, carbon accumulation can be obtained; the ash content
mass is obtained by integrating exhaust gas
mass flow and the rotational speed of an engine. The carbon accumulation increment
estimation method put forward by the invention can work out the increment of carbon accumulation on the basis of current total flow resistance, current ash content mass and current exhaust gas volume flow, and then obtains current carbon accumulation. The precision of the DPF carbon accumulation
estimation obtained by the method disclosed by the invention is higher, moreover, parameters, the physical meaning of which is unclear, in conventional
estimation methods are prevented from being used, the estimation process is quicker and more accurate, and thereby the accuracy of DPF regeneration opportunity judgment is greatly increased.
