ABSTRACT:
An emission control system for reducing particulates from exhaust gases from a diesel engine includes dual catalyzed diesel particulate filters in joint communication with the exhaust stream and a pair of heater elements each associated with one of the filters, through which exhaust gas is transmitted and uniformly heated. According to predetermined alternating heating sequence, the exhaust gas stream through first one of the pair of filters and then through the other is heated. The differing pressure differentials across the filters, determined by the heating sequence, effectively shift the major portion of the flow of exhaust gas between the filters, so that over the alternating heating sequence the heat generated by the heating elements is sufficient to clean the filters, without the requirement for any auxiliary source of combustion air or any mechanical switching means.
