Method of preventing damage to GPF in vehicle adopted to CDA

摘要

A method of preventing damage to a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) of a vehicle adapted to Cylinder De-activation (CDA) may include monitoring GPF pressure difference that measures a pressure difference of the GPF and determines an accumulation amount of soot in the GPF in accordance with the measured pressure difference of GPF; comparing pressure difference that compares the measured pressure difference of the GPF with a predetermined reproduction pressure difference; calculating GPF temperature that calculates a temperature in the GPF in accordance with each one of CDA modes, based on the accumulation amount of soot and an average oxygen concentration of an exhaust gas for the each one of the CDA modes; and setting CDA mode that determines a number of cylinders available for an CDA operation based on the calculated temperature and a predetermined temperature established for preventing the GPF from a damage.

1. A method of preventing damage to a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) of a vehicle adapted to Cylinder De-activation (CDA), the method comprising:
a step of monitoring GPF pressure difference that measures a pressure difference of the GPF and determines an accumulation amount of soot in the GPF in accordance with the measured pressure difference of GPF; a step of comparing pressure difference that compares the measured pressure difference of the GPF with a predetermined reproduction pressure difference; a step of calculating GPF temperature that calculates a temperature in the GPF in accordance with each one of CDA modes, based on the accumulation amount of soot and an average oxygen concentration of an exhaust gas for the each one of the CDA modes; and a step of setting CDA mode that determines a number of cylinders available for an CDA operation based on the calculated temperature and a predetermined temperature established for preventing the GPF from a damage, a step of starting GPF reproduction that starts a reproduction of the GPF after the step of setting CDA mode; a step of determining overrun entry that determines whether the vehicle has entered an overrun condition while the GPF is reproduced; a step of determining completion of GPF reproduction that compares the pressure difference in the GPF with the reproduction finish pressure difference if the vehicle has not entered the overrun condition; and a step of finishing GPF reproduction that finishes the reproduction of the GPF when the pressure difference in the GPF is lower than the reproduction finish pressure difference in the step of determining completion of GPF reproduction.
