    Abstract: A method of controlling a particulate filter of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. A regeneration cycle of the particulate filter is initiated. During the regeneration, a value of an exhaust gas temperature at an outlet of the particulate filter is determined and a value of a residual soot quantity stored into the particulate filter is estimated on the basis of the measured value of the exhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the particulate filter. The regeneration cycle may be started and stopped based on the estimated residual soot quantity.

    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for a vehicle and method of operating the EGR system. The EGR system includes an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold; an aftertreatment device downstream of the internal combustion engine; an EGR valve downstream of the aftertreatment device; a main compressor; an electric compressor downstream of the main compressor; a low pressure (LP) loop coupled between the aftertreatment device and the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine; and an electronic control unit configured to operate the electric compressor depending on one or more operating parameters. The internal combustion engine uses exhaust from the LP loop without receiving exhaust from a high pressure (HP) loop.

    Abstract: A engine exhaust system includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) configured to receive the engine exhaust gases, a first electric heater coupled to the DOC, and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device in fluid communication with the DOC. The engine exhaust system further includes a second electric heater coupled to the DOC, a power switch controller in electronic communication with the first electric heater and the second electric heater, and a single power source electrically coupled to the power switch controller, the first electric heater, and the second electric heater. The power switch controller includes a switch to control a power distribution between the first electric heater and the second electric heater as a function of time.
