Abstract
Methods for evaluating a soot quantity accumulated in a selective catalytic reduction wash-coated particulate filter (SCRF) of an exhaust gas treatment system are provided, and include injecting reductant proximate the SCRF, determining one or more mapping values, computing a correction value of a soot quantity using a map correlating the one or more mapping values, detecting an apparent soot burning operating temperature, and correcting an estimated value of the soot quantity using the correction value in order to obtain an evaluated value of the soot quantity. The one or more mapping values can include a reductant injection quantity value, a NOx quantity value, a temperature value, and a mass flow value of an exhaust gas. The apparent soot burning operating temperature can comprise a temperature at which a ΔP across the SCRF improperly implies an actual soot burning. Further provided are apparatuses for performing the disclosed methods.
