Abstract

A control system that controls regeneration of a particulate filter is provided. The system generally includes a fuel control module that controls injection of fuel into exhaust that passes through the particulate filter. A regeneration module controls current to the particulate filter to initiate regeneration after the fuel has been injected into the exhaust.

Electrically heated particulate filter diagnostic systems and methods

Patent Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]

A system that diagnoses regeneration of an electrically heated particulate filter is provided. The system generally includes a grid module that diagnoses a fault of the grid based on at least one of a current signal and a voltage signal. A diagnostic module at least one of sets a fault status and generates a warning signal based on the fault of the grid.

Electrically heated particulate filter propagation support methods and systems

Patent Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]; Ament, Frank [Troy, MI]

A control system that controls regeneration of a particulate filter is provided. The system generally includes a regeneration module that controls current to the particulate filter to initiate combustion of particulate matter in the particulate filter. A propagation module estimates a propagation status of the combustion of the particulate matter based on a combustion temperature. A temperature adjustment module controls the combustion temperature by selectively increasing a temperature of exhaust that passes through the particulate filter.

Electrically heated particulate filter regeneration methods and systems for hybrid vehicles

Patent Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]; Paratore, Jr., Michael J. (Howell, MI)

A control system for controlling regeneration of a particulate filter for a hybrid vehicle is provided. The system generally includes a regeneration module that controls current to the particulate filter to initiate regeneration. An engine control module controls operation of an engine of the hybrid vehicle based on the control of the current to the particulate filter.

Low exhaust temperature electrically heated particulate matter filter system

Patent Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]; Paratore, Jr., Michael J. (Howell, MI); Bhatia, Garima [Bangalore, IN]

A system includes a particulate matter (PM) filter, a sensor, a heating element, and a control module. The PM filter includes with an upstream end that receives exhaust gas, a downstream end and multiple zones. The sensor detects a temperature of the exhaust gas. The control module controls current to the heating element to convection heat one of the zones and initiate a regeneration process. The control module selectively increases current to the heating element relative to a reference regeneration current level when the temperature is less than a predetermined temperature.

Ash reduction system using electrically heated particulate matter filter

Patent Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]; Paratore, Jr., Michael J; He, Yongsheng [Sterling Heights, MI]

A control system for reducing ash comprises a temperature estimator module that estimates a temperature of an electrically heated particulate matter (PM) filter. A temperature and position estimator module estimates a position and temperature of an oxidation wave within the electrically heated PM filter. An ash reduction control module adjusts at least one of exhaust flow, fuel and oxygen levels in the electrically heated PM filter to adjust a position of the oxidation wave within the electrically heated PM filter based on the oxidation wave temperature and position.
