Systems and methods for diesel particulate filter regeneration using air from vehicle compressed air

Abstract

Systems and methods for diesel particulate filter regeneration for a transport climate control system are provided. The diesel particulate filter regeneration system for the transport climate control system includes a prime mover having an ON state and an OFF state, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) disposed downstream from the prime mover, an airflow control device upstream from the DPF, an air source configured to provide air to the DPF via the airflow control device, and a controller. The air source is configured to supply air to air components of a vehicle. When the prime mover is in the OFF state, the controller is configured to control the airflow control device to supply air from the air source to the DPF for diesel particulate filter regeneration.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
