摘要： A method and apparatus for maintaining a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is provided. A pressure drop across the DPF is measured and an initial estimate of soot loading in the DPF is provided to a recursive filter. Using the recursive filter, the initial estimate of soot loading is updated in view of the measured pressure drop to provide an updated estimate of soot loading in the DPF. Active regeneration of the DPF is triggered when an earliest one of at least one triggering condition occurs, the updated estimate of soot loading reaching a predetermined value being one of the at least one triggering condition.

摘要： A method for controlling emissions during low-load diesel engine operation is provided. The engine includes at least one piston movable in a cylinder between a top dead center and a bottom dead center position, a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder, and a variable geometry turbine through which exhaust from the engine is adapted to flow. According to the method, the engine is operated at low load, NOx emissions are measured at an exhaust of the engine, and a variable geometry turbine inlet opening size is controlled responsive to NOx emissions measurements so that NOx emission levels are controlled.
