System and method for regenerating a particulate filter for a direct injection engine

A method for regenerating a particulate filter is disclosed. In one example, oxygen is pumped from the intake system of a direct injection turobocharged gasoline engine to the exhaust system by a compressor. The oxygen is introduced to a particulate filter at a location upstream from the particulate filter. In this way, regeneration of a particulate filter may be accomplished without disturbing the chemistry of a three-way catalyst located in the exhaust system upstream of the particulate filter.

Each hole of a conventional multi-hole nozzle is replaced by two smaller, closely spaced holes in a two-hole-per-cluster configuration. The holes within a cluster are configured one above the other, in two horizontal planes or rows, spaced a distance apart from one another. The distance “d” between the nozzle holes in the cluster configuration, the clustered plume angle “α”, which is the angular separation between the centerlines of the nozzle holes, as well as the included spray angle “β”, are optimized through computational fluid dynamics and combustion modeling so that an optimal compromise can be found between liquid penetration, spray penetration and air entrainment, whereby to minimize soot emissions.

A separate igniter fuel injection system is described for use with diesel engines operating on tar based slurry fuel with a common rail slurry fuel injection system. The igniter fuel is injected prior to injection of the slurry fuel, during each engine compression stroke, so that the ignition and burning of the igniter fuel will supply hot gases for the evaporation and thermal cracking needed to ignite the tar fuel portions of the slurry. This separate igniter fuel injection system can also be used for cold startup of a diesel engine operated on tar based slurry fuels.
