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: An emissions control system for a motor vehicle including an internal combustion engine includes a lean NOx trap (LNT) device including an LNT inlet and an LNT outlet, and a LNT sensor arranged at the LNT inlet. The LNT sensor is operable to detect a temperature of exhaust gases passing into the LNT device. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) member is fluidically connected to the LNT device. The SCR device includes an SCR inlet and an SCR outlet. An SCR sensor is mounted to the SCR. The SCR sensor is operable to detect a temperature of the SCR. A LNT regeneration control system including a LNT regeneration controller is operatively connected to the LNT sensor and the SCR sensor. The LNT regeneration control system is operable to activate the LNT regeneration controller based on inputs from the LNT sensor and the SCR sensor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning up a particulate filter of an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine is operated to regenerate the particulate filter measuring. During the regeneration, a value of an engine speed is determined. A temperature of the particulate filter is controlled, if the measured value of the engine speed is smaller than or equal to a predetermined threshold value thereof. The particulate filter temperature is controlled by boosting the internal combustion engine and supplying the internal combustion engine with an amount of recirculated exhaust gases.

Abstract: Methods for evaluating a soot quantity accumulated in a selective catalytic reduction wash-coated particulate filter (SCRF) of an exhaust gas treatment system are provided, and include injecting reductant proximate the SCRF, determining one or more mapping values, computing a correction value of a soot quantity using a map correlating the one or more mapping values, detecting an apparent soot burning operating temperature, and correcting an estimated value of the soot quantity using the correction value in order to obtain an evaluated value of the soot quantity. The one or more mapping values can include a reductant injection quantity value, a NOx quantity value, a temperature value, and a mass flow value of an exhaust gas. The apparent soot burning operating temperature can comprise a temperature at which a ΔP across the SCRF improperly implies an actual soot burning. Further provided are apparatuses for performing the disclosed methods.
