ABSTRACT:
A method of removing solid particulate matter from the exhaust of a diesel engine, which comprises passing the engine's exhaust flow through at least a part of filter means to trap solid particulate matter contained initially in the exhaust, thereby to remove said matter from said exhaust flow, interrupting the exhaust flow through at least said part of the filter means, at a time when the preceding period of exhaust flow therethrough is of sufficiently brief duration that the trapped particulate matter has not become resistant to subsequent combustion in the engine, during said interruption backflushing at least said part of the filter means thereby to dislodge from the filter means, and entrain, said solid particulate matter for the purpose of removing it from the filter means, and transporting said dislodged solid particulate matter to the intake of said engine so that said matter can be combusted in the engine; and apparatus for accomplishing same.
