ABSTRACT:
A diesel exhaust cleaner and regeneration system with indexing particulate trap for use with a diesel engine, as on a city bus, includes a housing means having a cylindrical intermediate housing, an exhaust inlet means at one end and an exhaust outlet at its opposite end with a shaft operatively journaled in the intermediate housing for rotation about the axis thereof and having one end thereof extending outboard of said exhaust inlet means to permit exterior rotation thereof. A cylindrical trap housing means is fixed to the shaft whereby it is sealingly and rotatably supported in the intermediate housing, the trap housing means including a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart filter supports located concentrically around the shaft with a particulate filter operatively supported in each of the filter supports. A fuel burner means is operatively fixed to the exhaust inlet means with the outlet end of the burner means located in operative axial alignment with one of the filters. A releasable detent means is operatively associated with the intermediate housing and with the trap housing means to permit rotative indexing of the particulate filters sequentially into operative alignment with the fuel burner means upon rotative movement of the shaft so that all of the filters can be sequentially regenerated.
