ABSTRACT:
A particulate trap has a housing with an inlet and an outlet. The particulate trap also has a plurality of filters disposed within the housing in parallel relation. The particulate trap further has at least one electrode disposed within the housing and configured to impart a charge to particulates entrained within an exhaust flow as the particulates pass near the at least one electrode.
