Embodiment Construction
[0035] figure 1 Technical fields in which the present invention can be applied are shown. A gasoline-operated internal combustion engine 10 is supplied with combustion air via an air supply system 11 and discharges exhaust gases via an exhaust gas duct 14 . Arranged in the exhaust gas duct 14 downstream of the internal combustion engine 10 is a three-way catalytic converter 13 , after which a particle filter 16 is arranged in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. The temperature of the exhaust gas is determined upstream of the particulate filter 16 with a first temperature sensor 15 and downstream of the particulate filter 16 with a second temperature sensor 17 . The first temperature sensor 15 and the second temperature sensor 17 are connected to the control unit 12 in which their signals are evaluated in order thereby to monitor the presence and function of the particle filter 16 . In another specific embodiment, the temperature of the exhaust gas upstream of the particle...
