Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A machine includes an internal combustion engine, and an exhaust particulate filter system coupled therewith having an exhaust particulate filter for trapping particulates in exhaust from the internal combustion engine. A control system for the exhaust particulate filter includes a sensing mechanism such as an RF soot sensor and a data processor coupled with the sensing mechanism and configured to output a moisture compensation signal responsive to a pattern of inputs from the sensing mechanism indicative of moisture within the exhaust particulate filter, for controlling regeneration thereof.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An exhaust particulate filter system for an internal combustion engine comprising: an exhaust particulate filter including a housing, and a filter medium positioned within the housing for trapping particulates in exhaust from the internal combustion engine; and a regeneration control system for the exhaust particulate filter, including a sensing mechanism and a data processor coupled with the sensing mechanism, the data processor being configured to output…
