Regeneration control system for a diesel engine exhaust particulate filter.

摘要

An apparatus for igniting the particulates trapped in a particulate filter (14) used with a diesel engine (10) supplied with fuel containing an agent for reducing the ignition temperature of the particulates said apparatus monitoring physical operating parameters of the engine (10) and filter (14) and igniting said particulates when a predetermined concentration of particulates at which the particulates will undergo self-sustained combustion has accumulated in the filter (14).
