Diesel oxidation deposit mitigation

A system for mitigating a buildup of particulate matter on a diesel aftertreatment system, the system comprising:

• a system monitor configured to track activity for prime mover-activated components of a diesel-fueled system that includes a transport unit prime mover and a transport climate control system (TCCS);
• a prime mover exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor configured to monitor exhaust gas temperature for the diesel-fueled system;
• and
• a controller configured to automatically mitigate buildup of particulate matter on a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) based on input from at least one of the system monitor or the EGT sensor.

A non-volatile computer-readable medium storing executable instructions therein that, when executed, cause a controller in a diesel-fueled system that includes a transport unit prime mover and a transport climate control system (TCCS) to perform operations that comprise:

• determining an occurrence of a start condition for implementation of a mitigation protocol for dissipating a buildup of particulate matter on a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC);
• implementing a mitigation protocol that includes increasing prime mover exhaust gas temperature (EGT) to at least a threshold level;
• determining an occurrence of a termination condition for the mitigation protocol;
• and
• terminating at least one process used for the implementing of the mitigation protocol.
