  • Computer algorithm to estimate particulate filter regeneration rates
    Patent number: 7031827
    Abstract: A system and method is described for determining degradation of a diesel particulate filter in an engine exhaust system. The method uses information indicative of a regeneration rate, such as regeneration duration. From this, it is possible to determine when particulate filter operation has degraded.
