    Abstract: A method for monitoring particulate filter disposed in an exhaust aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine includes determining, via a differential pressure sensor, a pressure differential across the particulate filter, and determining an initial parameter associated with soot loading on the particulate filter based upon the pressure differential. A first adjustment to the soot loading is determined based upon a passive regeneration effect, a second adjustment to the soot loading is determined based upon an off-engine temperature effect, and a third adjustment to the soot loading is determined based upon occurrence of an interrupted regeneration event. A final parameter associated with soot loading on the particulate filter is determined based upon the initial parameter and the first, second and third adjustments.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a valve for directing an exhaust gas stream through an exhaust duct having an after treatment device and a bypass duct in an exhaust system of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving first sensor signals from a first sensor coupled downstream from the exhaust after treatment device, and processing the first sensor signals to determine a first temperature of an outlet exhaust gas stream. The method includes determining a bypass command based on whether the first temperature exceeds a first pre-defined threshold for the outlet exhaust gas stream. The method also includes outputting a control signal based on the determining of the bypass command to a valve coupled to the bypass duct and the exhaust pipe upstream of the after treatment device to move the valve between a first state and a second state.

    Abstract: An aftertreatment system includes a first pipe section in fluid communication with an exhaust manifold on an internal combustion engine. A first aftertreatment device includes a housing and a porous substrate having substrate walls defining a plurality of flow channels including first channels obstructed at a first end of the substrate and second channels obstructed at a second end of the substrate opposite the first end. The first and second channels are interleaved and internal pore surfaces in the porous substrate form a plurality of internal pores. A passive NOx adsorption catalyst is deposited on the substrate walls and internal pore surfaces such that the mean porosity of the porous substrate is not greater than a particulate matter secondary grain size. A second aftertreatment device having an inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet of the first aftertreatment device.
