Abstract: A method and a system are described for a compression release brake in an engine comprising an exhaust manifold connected to a turbine provided with a variable turbine geometry wherein said turbine is further connected to a back pressure valve for controlling the pressure drop over said turbine wherein the method comprises the steps of: controlling said back pressure valve on the basis of a measured engine speed and a desired braking power; calculating a desired exhaust manifold gas pressure on the basis of said measured engine speed and said desired braking power; and, controlling said variable turbine geometry such that the difference between a measured exhaust manifold gas pressure and said calculated desired exhaust manifold gas pressure is minimized.

Abstract: A method for operating a filter includes forcibly passing a stream of a fluid through a filter wall of the filter from a raw gas side to a clean gas side of the filter so as to separate out particles and particle constituents from the stream, wherein the particles and particle constituents are collected on the raw gas side and performing a regeneration process on the filter during operation of the filter. The regeneration process includes removing particles and particle constituents from the raw gas side of the filter and moving the removed particle constituents to a receiving device disposed on the raw gas side. Alternatively, the filter walls includes a plurality of channels on the raw gas side, each channel closed by a closure wall configured to be partially opened to enable the disposing of the particle constituents.
