A FILTER REGENERATING APPARATUS FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An apparatus for regenerating a filter provided to scavenge particulate which is included in exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a heating room accommodating the filter, a heat-combusting device for heat-combusting the particulate scavenged by the filter, a microwave generating device for generating a microwave to be supplied to the heating room, a slit provided in a wall of the heating room, a microwave detecting device for detecting the energy level of the microwave coupled through the slit, and a control section for controlling the heat-combusting device.
