Abstract
Estimating soot comprises connecting exhaust pipe to engine, exhaust pipe has diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter. Fuel injector is connected to exhaust pipe upstream from diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter. Delta exhaust pressure sensor measures difference in exhaust pressure at inlet and outlet to diesel particulate filter. Controller is connected to fuel injector and to delta exhaust pressure sensor. Controller determines when to conduct active regeneration of diesel particulate filter based on estimated amount of soot accumulated therein. Controller, in first regeneration mode, causes fuel injector to inject fuel at first rate into exhaust stream, and re-evaluates soot accumulated within diesel particulate filter under increased volumetric flow of exhaust stream. Controller, in second regeneration mode, causes fuel injector to inject fuel at second rate, larger than first rate, into exhaust stream to combust soot trapped in diesel particulate filter.
