Abstract

The goals of this research are to understand the regeneration characteristics in diesel particulate filter(DPF) using the cerium additive and throttling. The effects of throttling duration and spring tension of throttling valve were studied. Measurements were made on a 6 cylinder direct injection diesel engine and included pressure drop, filter inlet temperature, oxygen concentrations, and torque. The major conclusions of this work include; (i) the pressure drop is increased with increase of the engine load and the engine speed; (ii) the inlet temperature of the filter is reached $350^{\circ}C$ with certain engine operating condition which leads to sufficient temperature to regenerate with additive; and (iii) oxygen concentrations in the filter and engine torque during throttling operation are decreased by 2 percent and 36 percent, respectively, which are not critical about regeneration and vehicle operation.
