<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately estimate the deposition amount of particulate on a particulate filter from pressures across the filter even if ash is deposited thereon. <P>SOLUTION: A pressure loss factor k for coping with the reducing change of a filter effective capacity and an amount of pressure differenceΔP<SB>ASH</SB>due to the deposition of ash are obtained based on the estimated value of the deposited amount of ash based on a travel distance. A pressure differenceΔP<SB>total</SB>across the filter is also detected, and the amount of pressure differenceΔP<SB>PM</SB>due to the deposition of particulate is calculated by the following expression.ΔP<SB>PM</SB>=ΔP<SB>total</SB>/k-ΔP<SB>ASH</SB>. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
