Particle filter

Role

The particle filter traps carbon particles as the exhaust gases pass through

Description

"a": carbon particles

"b": cerine

"c": filtered exhaust gases

"d": porous ceramic walls

"e": stainless steel casing

"f": thermal insulator

The particle filter is a porous structure of silicon carbide including channels arranged so as to force the exhaust gases to pass through the walls

Components retained in the particle filter

  • Carbon particles
  • Cerine
  • Deposits from the engine oil and engine wear

Essentially consisting of carbon and hydrocarbons, these particles on the particle filter burn in the presence of oxygen at a temperature of 550°C (natural regeneration or with the assistance of post injection)

Cerine is an inorganic material which does not burn and is retained in the particle filter in the form of a solid deposit

The accumulation of particles whilst the engine is operating leads to the progressive clogging up of the particle filter

WarningThe particle filter must be replaced or cleaned every 80 000 km (in order to remove components retained in the filter). refer to chapter: maintenance

Location

The particle filter is incorporated into the exhaust pipe (downstream of the catalytic converter)

Catalytic converter

Role

The catalytic converter is used to increase the temperature of the exhaust gases, through post combustion of the unburned hydrocarbons (HC) from post injection

Description

Composition of an oxidation catalytic converter

  • A stainless steel casing
  • A thermic insulator
  • A ceramic honeycomb core impregnated with precious metals

Location

The catalytic converter is located between the decoupler and the particle filter

Exhaust gas temperature sensor (upstream of the catalytic converter) (1344)

Role

The temperature sensor informs the injection ECU of the temperature of the exhaust gases (upstream of the catalytic converter)

Description

The sensor consists of a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) resistor

The more the temperature increases, the more its resistance value is reduced

Electrical special features

Allocation of channels of connector

  • Terminal 1: 5 Volts
  • Terminal 2: earth

Resistance at 100 °C = 96 000 ohms

Resistance at 450 °C = 762 ohms

WarningThe electrical information provided by the upstream temperature sensor is transmitted directly to the injection ECU

Location

The temperature sensor is located upstream of the catalytic converter

The temperature sensor is screwed onto a base plate

WarningObserve the tightening torque

Exhaust gas temperature sensor (downstream of the catalytic converter) (1343)

Role

The temperature sensor informs the injection ECU of the temperature of the exhaust gases (downstream of the catalytic converter)

Description

The downstream temperature sensor is identical to the upstream temperature sensor

Electrical special features

WarningThe electrical information provided by the downstream temperature sensor is transmitted by wire to the additive ECU and sent to the injection ECU on the multiplexed networks

Location

The temperature sensor is located between the catalytic converter and the particle filter

Differential pressure sensor (1341)

Role

The sensor permanently measures the pressure difference of the exhaust gases between the inlet and the outlet of the particle filter to determine the condition of the filter (clogging or deterioration problems of the filter)

Description

"g": HI: particle filter upstream information input (diameter 4,32 mm)

"h": REF: particle filter downstream information input (diameter 4,32 mm)

"j": white marking

"k": electrical connector

"l": diaphragm

The sensor consists of the following components

  • Electronics to amplify the signal
  • A sealed membrane

The membrane is subject to the following pressures

  • The inlet pressure of the particle filter (upstream)
  • The outlet pressure of the particle filter (downstream)

The sensor provides a voltage proportional to the differential pressure measured by the membrane (delta P = P upstream - P downstream)

WarningDo not invert the upstream and downstream information pipes (the filtration system will not work). management of the particle filter depends on this information

Electrical special features

Allocation of channels of connector

  • Terminal 1: pressure information (0,5 to 5 volts)
  • Terminal 2: earth
  • Terminal 3: 5 volts supply

Voltage supplied for a differential pressure of 0 bar: + 0,5 Volts (engine off)

Voltage supplied for a differential pressure of 0,9 bar: + 4,1 Volts (particle filter clogged)

Location

"j": white marking

The sensor (9) is located on the bulkhead (according to vehicle)

Air temperature sensor (1310)

The air temperature sensor informs the ECU of the temperature of the air admitted

WarningThe air temperature sensor is incorporated in the air flow sensor

The role of the injection ECU in terms of the information received: to regulate the inlet air temperature (control of the inlet air heater throttle electrovalve)

NoteWhen a fault is present on the air temperature sensor (1310), the ECU uses a replacement value of 50°C

NoteThe external air temperature sensor (6415) located on the door mirror is used by the ECU to perform coherence tests. the external air sensor is controlled by the front right hand door station (9050)

Water-to-air heat exchanger (inlet air heating)

Role

The water/air heat exchanger heats the air let into the cylinders (during the particle filter regeneration assistance phase)

Heating the inlet air allows the combustion temperature required to regenerate the particle filter to be increased

Description

The air/air heat exchanger which cools the air let into the cylinders, is shaped around a water/air exchanger, which heats the inlet air

Location

(15) water-to-air heat exchanger (inlet air heating)

(74) air/air heat exchanger

The water/air heat exchanger (15) is located near to the front air/air heat exchanger (74)

Inlet air heater throttle

Description

WarningThe inlet air heater throttle is closed when it is not controlled pneumatically

Location

The throttle housing is located at the inlet to the inlet manifold

Throttle housing control electrovalve (inlet air heating) (1285)

Role

The electrovalve controls the opening of the inlet air heater throttle

Description

The electrovalve is identical to the following electrovalves

  • Turbocharging pressure regulation solenoid valve
  • Exhaust gas recycling solenoid valve (EGR)
  • Throttle housing control electrovalve (EGR)

"m": "user" outlet

"n": pressure drop inlet for the vacuum pump

"p": white marking

"q": atmospheric pressure inlet

The solenoid control is an OCR (Opening Cyclical Ratio) type control

The proportional electrovalve controlled by an OCR voltage is connected to the following components

  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Vacuum supplied by the vacuum pump

The pressure supplied by the electrovalve is included between the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum pump vacuum

The electrovalve connects the vacuum pump and the heater throttle

Operating phases with particle filter regeneration assistance

  • Engine at low load and mid-load: the inlet air heater throttle is open (controlled)
  • Engine full load: the inlet air heater throttle is closed (not controlled) (in moderate atmosphere)

NoteOutside the regeneration assistance operating phase the inlet air heater throttle can be controlled (engine cold, moderate ambient temperature)

Electrical special features

Control: injection ECU (earth)

Variable voltage control (OCR)

  • Full supply (maximum OCR) = maximum vacuum
  • No supply (minimum OCR) = no vacuum (atmospheric pressure)

NoteOCR: opening cyclic ratio

Location

(17) inlet air heater throttle control electrovalve

The electrovalve is located in the engine compartment

Throttle housing control electrovalve (EGR) (1263)

Role

The electrovalve controls the closing of the throttle housing (EGR)

Description

WarningThe throttle housing is open when it is not controlled pneumatically

Operating phases with particle filter regeneration assistance

  • Engine at low load: the throttle housing is closed (controlled) (**) (depending on external temperature)
  • Engine at mid-load and full load: the throttle housing is open (not controlled)

(**) the engine only lets in heated air

Built-in systems interface (BSI1)

Role

The BSI is used to perform the following operations

  • To transmit information from the fuel additive ECU to the injection ECU
  • To transmit information from the injection ECU to the fuel additive ECU
  • To inform the driver of the condition of the pollutant particle filtration system
  • To reinitialise the system after a maintenance operation
