  • Patent number: 8256210
    Abstract: One embodiment is a system including a controller operable to control fuel injection events. The system is operable in a base mode, and at least one of a deNOx mode, a deSOx mode, and a deSoot mode. The base mode includes a pilot injection pulse, a main injection pulse, a post injection pulse, and a second post injection pulse. The deNOx mode includes a pilot injection pulse, a main injection pulse, and a post injection pulse. The deSOx mode includes a pilot injection pulse, a main injection pulse, a post injection pulse, a second post injection pulse, and a third post injection pulse. The deSoot mode includes a pilot injection pulse, a main injection pulse, a post injection pulse, a second post injection pulse, and a third post injection pulse. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the following description and drawings.

  • Patent number: 7836687
    Abstract: One embodiment is a method including maintaining a count based upon an engine operating condition, determining a soot level based upon a characteristic of a diesel particulate filter, and requesting deSoot based upon the count meeting or exceeding a threshold, or the soot level meeting or exceeding a threshold, or both. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the following description and drawings.

  • Publication number: 20060260299
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling soot regeneration in a catalyst soot filter (“CSF”) of an exhaust system for a diesel engine by measuring the inlet temperature of a diesel oxidation catalyst (“DOC”) coupled to the CSF, determining a target light off temperature for the DOC, injecting a first fuel amount into a cylinder of the engine to cause the DOC inlet temperature to approach the target light off temperature, measuring the CSF inlet temperature and pressure across the CSF, determining a target CSF inlet temperature for regeneration, injecting a second fuel amount for combustion in the DOC to cause the CSF inlet temperature to approach the target CSF inlet temperature.
