  • Trapped soot estimator
    Patent number: 9353659
    Abstract: A diesel engine (10) has an exhaust system (16) containing a diesel particulate filter (18) for trapping soot passing through the exhaust system as the engine operates. A trapped soot estimator (30) estimates soot trapped in the diesel particular filter by repeatedly executing an algorithm that calculates a data value for total soot trapped using Kalman filter processing (48) whose gain is controlled by at least one engine operating parameter.
    Type: Grant
