Problems solved by technology

As an example, extended operation of the engine with substantial spark retard from the MBT for exhaust heating purposes may result in increased variations in cylinder indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), which may reduce combustion stability and trigger misfire monitor

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for particulate filter regeneration. Methods and systems are provided for adjusting engine compression ratio (CR) and spark timing to attain particulate filter (PF) regeneration temperature. In one example, a method may include, in response to PF load reaching a threshold and PF temperature being lower than the PF regeneration temperature, lowering theCR and then selectively adjusting spark timing based on an estimated residual gas fraction (RGF) at the lower CR.

Description

technical field [0001] The present description generally relates to methods and systems for adjusting engine compression ratio and spark timing to achieve particulate filter regeneration temperatures. Background technique [0002] Engine combustion using gasoline fuel can generate particulate matter (PM), such as soot and aerosols, which can be emitted into the atmosphere. For emissions compliance, a particulate filter (PF) may be included in the engine exhaust to filter out exhaust PM before releasing the exhaust to the atmosphere. Such devices may be periodically or timely regenerated during engine operation to reduce the amount of trapped particulate matter. Regeneration is typically accomplished by raising the temperature of the PF to a predetermined level for a sustained period of time while flowing exhaust gas of a defined composition through the PF to combust or oxidize trapped particulate matter. [0003] Various methods are provided for regenerating PM in response...
