Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobiles, and more particularly, to a control method and device for regeneration of a particulate filter and a readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to reduce the chemical reaction activation energy of HC (hydrocarbon), CO (carbon monoxide), SOF (soluble organic matter) and the like in the exhaust gas of an automobile engine, a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is provided in the vehicle.

[0003] The DPF mainly filters and traps the particulates in the engine exhaust gas through diffusion, deposition and impact mechanisms. When the exhaust gas flows through the filter, the particulates are trapped in the filter core of the filter body, and the remaining relatively clean exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere.

[0004] The wall-flow honeycomb ceramic filter is currently more commonly used, and a noble metal catalyst (such as Pt, etc.) is coated on the honeycomb ceramic carrier, so that the HC, CO and SOF and the like in the engine exhaust gas can be oxidized at a relatively low temperature and ultimately converted into CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) in the presence of oxygen in the exhaust gas.

[0005] The exhaust particulates of the engine mainly include two components: unburned soot and ash, wherein the particulate emission material is mostly composed of tiny particles of carbon and carbide.

[0006] As the working time increases, the particulates accumulated on the DPF increase, which not only affects the filtering effect of the DPF, but also increases the exhaust back pressure, thereby affecting the scavenging and combustion of the engine, resulting in reduced power output and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, DPF regeneration is performed to remove the deposited particulates and restore the filtering performance of the DPF.

[0007] Currently, there are two main ways to determine the carbon load of the DPF. One is to calculate the pressure difference carbon load based on the pressure difference of the DPF and the exhaust gas volume flow rate of the DPF, and the other is to calculate according to a model, including a primary emission model, a passive regeneration model and an active regeneration model, to obtain the model carbon load by real-time integration. The larger of the pressure difference carbon load and the model carbon load is taken as the current carbon load of the DPF, and regeneration is performed according to the current carbon load of the DPF.

[0008] However, due to the design defects of the two determination methods, it is impossible to ensure that the calculated values are accurate, which leads to the fact that the current carbon load determined according to the above two methods cannot be guaranteed to be accurate, and therefore the safety of the DPF device during the subsequent DPF regeneration process according to the current carbon load cannot be guaranteed.

[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0057] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a particulate filter regeneration control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to a vehicle control module, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0058] Step S101: receiving a regeneration trigger request, the regeneration trigger request is generated based on a model carbon load determined according to a preset model and a differential pressure carbon load determined according to a preset differential pressure determination rule;

[0059] The vehicle control module can be a functional module with a control particulate matter trap (DPF) regeneration function, or a functional module integrated with the above function and other functions, and the application does not limit the specific functional module for executing the method.

[0060] The preset model includes an original emission model, a passive regeneration model, and an active regeneration model. The carbon load of the DPF is obtained by real-time integration using the preset model, and the carbon load is referred to as a model carbon load.

[0061] The preset differential pressure determination rule is used to determine the carbon load according to the real-time differential pressure of the DPF and the real-time exhaust volume flow of the DPF, and the carbon load is referred to as a differential pressure carbon load.

[0062] In a specific implementation, a corresponding relationship table of differential pressure, volume flow, and carbon load can be preset, and the corresponding carbon load can be obtained by looking up the table according to the real-time differential pressure and the real-time exhaust volume flow.

[0063] Specifically, the larger one of the differential pressure carbon load and the model carbon load is selected as the current carbon load of the DPF. If the current carbon load is greater than the upper limit of the carbon load, it is preliminarily determined that regeneration is needed, and a regeneration request is generated.

[0064] The regeneration request is used to control the output of a parking regeneration prompt signal in the vehicle. For example, the parking regeneration prompt light in the vehicle control panel is controlled to turn on.

[0065] Correspondingly, the vehicle driver sees the parking regeneration prompt light turn on, presses the parking regeneration button, and generates the regeneration trigger request.

[0066] The regeneration trigger request can also be directly generated by the regeneration request when the current carbon load is greater than the upper limit of the carbon load.

[0067] Step S102: Determine whether the model carbon load and the differential pressure carbon load meet the credible condition.

[0068] When the original emission amount in the exhaust gas emitted by the engine changes, the original emission amount in the preset model is fixed, and the preset model cannot identify the change of the original emission, which may cause errors in the model carbon load determined by the preset model when the original emission changes.

[0069] Since the preset differential pressure rule is used to calculate the carbon load according to the real-time differential pressure of the DPF and the real-time exhaust volume flow of the DPF, when the exhaust volume flow is low, the real-time differential pressure of the DPF may not be accurately monitored, which may cause errors in the calculation of the differential pressure carbon load.

[0070] Therefore, due to the above possible calculation errors, the model carbon load and the differential pressure carbon load may be unreliable.

[0071] If the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load are determined to be reliable, steps S103-S104 are executed; if not, steps S105-S106 are executed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the reliability of the carbon load determined by the two methods can be determined according to the deviation between the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load. Figure 3 The process of determining the reliability of the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load is described in detail.

[0073] Step S103: If the reliable condition is met, the current carbon load is determined according to the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load.

[0074] If the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load meet the reliable condition, the values representing their reliability are determined, and one of them is selected as the regeneration parameter.

[0075] The value of the larger one of the pressure differential carbon load and the model carbon load is selected as the current carbon load, and the current carbon load is used as the regeneration parameter.

[0076] Step S104: The particulate filter is regenerated according to the current carbon load.

[0077] The current carbon load of the DPF is determined in the foregoing steps, and the current carbon load is used as the regeneration parameter to control the regeneration process of the DPF.

[0078] The regeneration process can be in the form of active regeneration.

[0079] The particulate matter contained in the engine exhaust generally includes soot (smoke) and ash (dust), and soot refers to the part that can be burned by regeneration, and ash refers to the non-combustible component.

[0080] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the particulate filter DPF is shown in the figure, and the arrow indicates the direction of gas flow. The wall-flow honeycomb ceramic filter is used in the schematic diagram, and the particulate in the exhaust gas is trapped in the filter core 201 of the filter when the exhaust gas flows through the DPF, and the remaining exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere. The thickness of the arrow in the figure represents the amount of particulate matter carried therein, and the exhaust gas contains the most particulate matter, and the particulate matter in the gas is reduced after filtration by the filter.

[0081] The active regeneration is to use external energy to increase the temperature in the DPF, so that the particulate matter is ignited and burned. When the pressure difference sensor detects that the back pressure before and after the DPF is too large, it is considered that the carbon accumulation amount that the DPF can bear has been reached. At this time, through external energy, diesel is injected through the engine post-injection or the seventh oil injection nozzle, for example, diesel is injected before the DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, oxidation catalyst) and burned, so that the temperature in the DPF is increased to a certain temperature, and the deposited particulate matter soot is oxidized and burned to achieve the purpose of regeneration. The DPF temperature rises to above 550°C to make the trapped particles burn and restore the trapping capacity of the DPF.

[0082] The regeneration mode of the DPF has two modes: active regeneration and passive regeneration.

[0083] The passive regeneration is that in a certain temperature range, NO2 in the exhaust gas has strong oxidation ability to the trapped particles, so NO2 can be used as an oxidizing agent to remove the particulate matter in the particulate filter and generate CO2, and NO2 is reduced to NO (nitric oxide), thereby achieving the purpose of removing the particulate matter. Passive regeneration does not require additional fuel, so the more times the passive regeneration is performed in the life cycle of the DPF, the longer the active regeneration period needs to be performed, and the less fuel the aftertreatment system consumes, thereby improving the overall fuel consumption of the engine.

[0084] Step S105: If the trusted condition is not met, determine the target carbon load when the vehicle is stably running at the preset speed;

[0085] If the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load do not meet the trusted condition, it means that at least one of them is not trusted, and the carbon load of the DPF needs to be determined again.

[0086] In some implementations, the engine of the vehicle is first increased from the initial speed to the preset speed, and then the engine exhaust pressure difference and the volume flow at the preset speed are determined to determine the target carbon load, and subsequently Figure 4 The process of determining the target carbon load is described in detail.

[0087] The preset speed is a higher speed relative to the idle speed of the engine at idle speed.

[0088] The volume flow of the exhaust gas of the engine at the preset speed is high, which eliminates the problem that the DPF pressure difference cannot be accurately monitored.

[0089] In addition, the vehicle is stably running, which can ensure that the original exhaust flow of the engine is stable, and eliminate the problem that the model carbon load determined by the preset model is incorrect due to changes in the original exhaust flow.

[0090] Idle speed is a working condition of a vehicle, which refers to the engine running in neutral gear. The idle speed of the engine is generally a low speed.

[0091] The target carbon load of the engine exhaust is determined based on the stable operation of the vehicle at a preset speed. The target carbon load is the actual situation of the accumulated particulate matter on the DPF.

[0092] Step S106: Controlling the regeneration of the particulate filter according to the target carbon load.

[0093] The target carbon load is used as a regeneration parameter to control the regeneration process of the DPF.

[0094] The mode of the regeneration process can be determined according to the specific value of the target carbon load. Subsequently Figure 5 The process of controlling the regeneration of the particulate filter according to the target carbon load is described in detail.

[0095] In this embodiment, the model carbon load determined according to the preset model and the pressure difference carbon load determined according to the preset pressure difference determination rule generate a regeneration trigger request. After receiving the regeneration trigger request, it is determined whether the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load are reliable. If they are reliable, the current carbon load of the DPF is determined according to the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load, and the regeneration of the DPF is controlled according to the current carbon load. If they are not reliable, the target carbon load of the vehicle when it is stably operated at a preset speed is determined, and the regeneration of the DPF is controlled according to the target carbon load. After receiving the regeneration trigger request, it is determined whether the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load are reliable. If they are reliable, the target carbon load is determined according to the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load that generate the regeneration trigger request, and the regeneration process of the DPF is performed. If they are not reliable, the target carbon load of the DPF is determined again, which is a reliable value. The regeneration process of the DPF is performed according to the reliable target carbon load, which ensures that the carbon load for the regeneration process of the DPF is reliable and ensures the safety of the DPF equipment during the regeneration process of the DPF.

[0096] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the process of determining whether the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load meet the reliable condition provided by the embodiments of the present application, which includes the following steps:

[0097] Step S301: Determining the difference between the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load.

[0098] To determine whether the model carbon load and the pressure difference carbon load are reliable, the difference between the two can be used as a basis for judgment.

[0099] If the two carbon loading calculation methods are correct, the calculation results will not differ much. Therefore, in this embodiment, the difference between the model carbon loading and the pressure difference carbon loading is used to determine whether the two are credible.

[0100] Among them, if either the model carbon loading or the pressure difference carbon loading value is unreliable, it will lead to a large difference between the two.

[0101] Step S302: determining whether the difference is within a preset difference range;

[0102] The preset difference range is a valid difference range between the pressure difference carbon load determined by the pressure difference calculation rule and the model carbon load determined by the preset model for the same DPF usage scenario.

[0103] The difference range may be [-a, +a], and a may be any rational number.

[0104] For example, if a is 1g (gram), the corresponding difference range is [-1g, 1g], that is, -1g≤(model carbon loading-pressure differential carbon loading)≤1g. If the model carbon loading is 4g and the pressure differential carbon loading is 2g, the difference between the two is 2g, which is not within the preset difference range, and the two are unreliable; if the model carbon loading is 2g and the pressure differential carbon loading is 3g, the difference between the two is -1g, which is within the preset difference range, and the two are credible.

[0105] Step S303: If the difference is within a preset difference range, it is determined that the model carbon loading and the pressure difference carbon loading meet a credibility condition;

[0106] Step S304: If the difference is not within the preset difference range, it is determined that the model carbon loading and the pressure difference carbon loading do not meet the credibility condition.

[0107] Here, it is determined whether the difference between the aforementioned determined model carbon loading and the pressure differential carbon loading is within the preset difference range. If the difference is within the preset difference range, it is determined that the model carbon loading and the pressure differential carbon loading meet the credibility condition; otherwise, the credibility condition is not met.

[0108] In this embodiment, the difference between the model carbon load for generating the regeneration trigger request and the pressure differential carbon load is determined; if the difference is within the preset difference range, it is determined that the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load meet the credibility condition; if the difference is not within the preset difference range, it is determined that the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load do not meet the credibility condition. It is only necessary to determine whether the difference between the model carbon load for generating the regeneration trigger request and the pressure differential carbon load is within the preset difference range to determine whether the model carbon load and the pressure differential carbon load are credible. The judgment process can be achieved through simple calculation and comparison.

[0109] Figure 4is a flow chart of a process for determining a target carbon load of a vehicle when the vehicle is stably running at a preset rotating speed, provided by an embodiment of the present application, and includes the following steps:

[0110] Step S401: increasing the rotating speed of the engine of the vehicle from an initial rotating speed to a preset rotating speed, the preset rotating speed being greater than the initial rotating speed;

[0111] Wherein, when it is necessary to re-determine the carbon load of the DFP, in order to exclude the problem that the pressure difference of the DPF cannot be accurately monitored due to the low exhaust gas volume flow, the rotating speed of the engine of the vehicle is increased from the initial rotating speed to the preset rotating speed.

[0112] Wherein, the initial rotating speed can be an idle rotating speed, and the regeneration trigger request is received when the vehicle is idling.

[0113] Wherein, the preset rotating speed can be a higher rotating speed, which is higher than the initial rotating speed.

[0114] For example, the initial rotating speed is 700 r / min, and the preset rotating speed is 1000 r / min.

[0115] Of course, the above-mentioned initial rotating speed value and preset rotating speed value are only for example, and do not limit the values of the initial rotating speed and the preset rotating speed in the present application.

[0116] Step S402: based on the fact that the running condition of the vehicle meets the stable running condition, calculating the average pressure difference and the average volume flow of the exhaust gas of the engine within a preset time period;

[0117] Wherein, the way of determining the target carbon load in the embodiment is to determine the pressure difference carbon load of the engine of the vehicle at the preset rotating speed.

[0118] Wherein, when the running condition of the vehicle meets the stable running condition at the preset rotating speed, the average pressure difference and the average volume flow of the exhaust gas of the engine within a preset time period are calculated.

[0119] Specifically, based on the fact that the running condition of the vehicle meets the stable running condition, the pressure difference value and the volume flow value of the exhaust gas of the engine are triggered to be calculated; and according to the calculated pressure difference value and volume flow value of the exhaust gas of the engine, the average pressure difference and the average volume flow within the preset time period are determined.

[0120] Wherein, the pressure difference and the volume flow of the exhaust gas of the engine within a preset time period can be calculated and averaged to obtain the average pressure difference and the average volume flow after the running condition of the vehicle meets the stable running condition.

[0121] Wherein, the stable running condition at least includes:

[0122] The rotating speed of the engine is within a preset rotating speed range;

[0123] The engine fuel injection amount is in a preset fuel injection amount range;

[0124] The engine exhaust gas volume flow rate value is greater than a preset volume flow rate value and has a change rate less than a preset change rate.

[0125] The preset rotation speed range includes the preset rotation speed and floats a range above and below the preset rotation speed.

[0126] For example, the preset rotation speed is 1000 r / min, and the preset rotation speed range can be [900 r / min, 1100 r / min].

[0127] For example, the preset fuel injection amount range is 1.0-1.5 mg / s (milligrams / second).

[0128] The engine exhaust gas volume flow rate can be detected by a flow sensor.

[0129] The differential pressure and the volume flow rate of the engine exhaust gas are detected after the rotation speed of the engine is increased to the preset rotation speed for a period of time, and it is determined that the engine operation meets the stable operation condition.

[0130] For example, if the engine operation meets the stable operation condition within 30 seconds after the rotation speed of the engine is increased to the preset rotation speed, the differential pressure of the engine exhaust gas detected by the differential pressure sensor and the volume flow rate of the engine exhaust gas detected by the flow sensor are taken as the values of the statistical average differential pressure and the average volume flow rate.

[0131] Of course, the preset rotation speed value and the preset rotation speed range, the preset fuel injection amount range, the volume flow rate value, and the preset change rate are only for example, and the application does not limit the values thereof.

[0132] In a specific implementation, the stable operation condition can further include that the vehicle has no other related faults during operation.

[0133] The related faults can be faults of a differential pressure sensor for monitoring the differential pressure of the engine exhaust gas, faults of a flow sensor for the volume flow rate of the engine exhaust gas, and various faults related to determining the differential pressure carbon load, which are not limited in the application.

[0134] Step S403: determining a target carbon load according to the average differential pressure and the average volume flow rate.

[0135] There is a preset corresponding relationship table of differential pressure, volume flow rate, and carbon load.

[0136] Specifically, the target carbon load is obtained by looking up the table according to the average differential pressure and the average volume flow rate.

[0137] If the engine speed is increased to the preset speed and the vehicle operating condition does not meet the stable operating condition, i.e., a problem occurs, the step of calculating the average pressure difference and the average volume flow of the engine exhaust gas in the preset time period is not performed, and the problem is manually excluded. After the problem is excluded, the above process is performed again.

[0138] In the implementation, after the target carbon load is determined according to the average pressure difference and the average volume flow, the timer for calculating the engine exhaust gas in the preset time period is cleared, to prepare for the next calculation.

[0139] Moreover, after the calculation is completed, the engine speed is reduced to the initial speed to reduce the power consumption of the engine.

[0140] In the embodiment, the engine speed of the vehicle is increased from the initial speed to the preset speed to exclude the problem that the DPF pressure difference cannot be accurately monitored due to the low volume flow of the exhaust gas. Based on the fact that the vehicle operating condition meets the stable operating condition, the average pressure difference and the average volume flow of the engine exhaust gas in the preset time period are calculated, the target carbon load is determined according to the average pressure difference and the average volume flow, and the vehicle is stably operated at a high speed, which ensures that the pressure difference and the volume flow of the engine exhaust gas are stable. Moreover, the average pressure difference and the average volume flow of the engine exhaust gas in the preset time period are calculated, which further ensures the accuracy of the values of the pressure difference and the volume flow, and the accuracy of the subsequently determined target carbon load is high.

[0141] Figure 5 The figure is a flowchart of a process of controlling the regeneration of the particulate matter trap according to the target carbon load provided in the embodiment, including the following steps.

[0142] Step S501: determining a target regeneration temperature corresponding to the target carbon load.

[0143] In the implementation, the regeneration process is to burn off the soot in the DPF through regeneration combustion, which increases the temperature of the regeneration process. However, the temperature that the DPF device can withstand is fixed. Therefore, different regeneration temperatures are set for different carbon loads, to use the corresponding regeneration temperature to protect the safety of the DPF device.

[0144] Specifically, the different carbon loads can correspond to different regeneration temperatures, and the higher the carbon load, the lower the corresponding regeneration temperature.

[0145] Specifically, the target regeneration temperature corresponding to the target carbon load is determined according to a preset correspondence relationship, which represents the correspondence relationship between the carbon load and the regeneration temperature.

[0146] After the target carbon load is determined, the corresponding target regeneration temperature is found in the preset correspondence relationship.

[0147] For example, the carbon loading is 7g / L (grams per liter), and the corresponding target regeneration temperature is 400℃ (degrees Celsius), the carbon loading is 6g / L, and the corresponding target regeneration temperature is 450℃; the carbon loading is 4g / L, and the corresponding target regeneration temperature is 500℃.

[0148] In a specific implementation, the target carbon loading and the corresponding adjustment temperature are used, the standard regeneration temperature is added to the adjustment temperature to obtain the target regeneration temperature.

[0149] For example, the carbon loading is 7g / L, and the corresponding adjustment temperature is -100℃ (degrees Celsius); the carbon loading is 6g / L, and the corresponding adjustment temperature is -50℃; and the carbon loading is 4g / L, and the corresponding adjustment temperature is 0℃. The standard regeneration temperature is 500℃, and the adjustment temperature is added to the standard regeneration temperature to obtain the target regeneration temperature.

[0150] Step S502: Regeneration of the particulate filter is controlled according to the target regeneration temperature.

[0151] The corresponding regeneration temperature is determined according to the target regeneration temperature, and the regeneration of the DPF is controlled according to the regeneration temperature.

[0152] The higher the carbon loading, the higher the temperature of the DPF during regeneration, and a lower temperature is used for regeneration; the lower the carbon loading, the higher the temperature used for regeneration, to ensure the safety of the DPF device and prevent it from being burned out.

[0153] The temperature of active regeneration is above 500℃, and the temperature of passive regeneration is generally 250℃ to 450℃.

[0154] Correspondingly, if the determined target regeneration temperature is above 500℃, the active regeneration mode is used, and if the regeneration temperature is below 500℃, the passive regeneration mode is used.

[0155] In a specific implementation, the duration of the regeneration process is preset, and the regeneration process is performed according to the preset duration.

[0156] In a specific implementation, if the duration of the regeneration process is not set, the model carbon loading and the pressure difference carbon loading can be continuously detected during the regeneration process, and steps S102 to S106 in the method are executed until the carbon loading is less than the set lower limit of the carbon loading, and the regeneration process is stopped. Figure 1

[0157] In this embodiment, the target carbon loading is first determined, the target regeneration temperature corresponding to the target carbon loading is determined, and then the regeneration of the particulate filter is controlled according to the target regeneration temperature. Different regeneration temperatures are determined according to different target carbon loadings, so that the DPF is controlled to regenerate according to different regeneration temperatures, and the safety of the DPF device during the regeneration process is ensured.

[0158] ​Figure 6 is another flow chart of a method for controlling regeneration of a particulate filter according to an embodiment of the present application, comprising the following steps:

[0159] Step S601: determining whether the target carbon loading is greater than a preset upper limit of carbon loading.

[0160] The preset upper limit of carbon loading is an upper limit of carbon loading that can be regenerated by passive regeneration.

[0161] If the carbon loading of the DPF is too high, even if passive regeneration with a lower temperature is used, the temperature of the DPF will be too high during regeneration due to soot combustion, which will affect the safety of the DPF.

[0162] Therefore, after the target carbon loading is determined, it is further determined whether the target carbon loading is greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading. If the target carbon loading is not greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, step S603 is executed. If the target carbon loading is greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, step S602 is executed.

[0163] Step S602: if the target carbon loading is greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, a prompt information is generated, which is used to prompt manual treatment of the particulate filter.

[0164] If the carbon loading is too high, even if passive regeneration is used, the DPF will be burned due to too high temperature of the DPF during regeneration due to soot combustion. Therefore, when the target carbon loading is too high and greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, the regeneration process is not executed.

[0165] When it is determined that the target carbon loading is greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, a prompt information is generated to prompt the driver of the vehicle to manually treat the DPF.

[0166] Correspondingly, the driver or the maintenance personnel manually removes carbon from the DPF to reduce the carbon loading of the DPF.

[0167] Step S603: if the target carbon loading is not greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, the target carbon loading is triggered as a regeneration parameter to control the regeneration of the particulate filter.

[0168] If the target carbon loading is not greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, the DPF can be treated by regeneration, and the subsequent process of controlling the regeneration of the particulate filter according to the target carbon loading as a regeneration parameter is executed.

[0169] In the embodiment, the method further includes: determining whether the target carbon loading is greater than a preset upper limit of carbon loading; if the target carbon loading is greater than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, generating a prompt information, the prompt information being used to prompt manual processing of the particulate filter; and if the target carbon loading is less than the preset upper limit of carbon loading, triggering the target carbon loading as a regeneration parameter to control the particulate filter regeneration step, so as to ensure the safety of the DPF in the carbon removal process of the DPF.
