OVERVIEW AND OPERATION PROCESS

1. OVERVIEW

As the solution for environmental regulations and PM Particla Material) of diesel engine, the low
emission vehicle is getting popular. This vehicle is equipped with an extra filter to collect the
soot and burn it again so that the amount of PM in the exhaust gas passed through the DOC
(Diesel Oxydation Catalyst) is reduced. The CDPF (Catalyst & Diesel Particulate Filter) is an
integrated filter including DOC (Diesel Oxydation Catalyst) and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

3. MAJOR CHANGES
The CDPF system is only installed to the D27DT engine, and the major changes comparing to
the previous D27DT engine is as follows:

CDPF (Catalyst & Diesel Particulate Filter) and Sensors

Engine ECU
The engine ECU has been revised since
terminals have been added for front/rear
temperature sensors.
Its version is 3.2, but it is not compatible
with ECU without CDPF.

Fuel Common Rail and Fuel Rail
(Between Common Rail and Injector)
The I.D and O.D of fuel rail has changed from
2.4 mm/6.0 mm to 3.0 mm/6.35 mm. Also, the
damping orifice is installed to prevent the fuel
pulsation occured by fuel pressure.

4. OPERATION PROCESS
1) Combustion Temperature and Procedures
As the soot is filtered in the CDPF, it is burnt and removed, and the CDPF is returned to the
initial state to collect the soot. Therefore, the burning procedures in the CDPF can be called as
recycling.
The CDPF assembly is integrated with DOC (at front side) and DPF (at rear side).
The DPF burns the soot with high-temperature exhaust gas (over 600°C). The rear
exhaust gas temperature sensor monitors the temperature of DPF section. If this temperature is
below the regeneration temperature, the ECU increases the post injection period to increase
the fuel injection amount, and consequently to increase the exhaust gas temperature.

cardiagn.com
Normally, when the vehicle is driven for 600 ~ 1,200 km, the enough amount of soot to be
burnt is filtered and accumulated in the CDPF. The ECU increase the amount of post
injection to increase the tempeature of exhaust gas up to 600°C so that the soot is
burnt. The soot is burnt for 15 ~ 20 minutes.

2) Sytem Composition for Soot Combustion

When the engine is running in low load range, the temperature of exhaust gas is decreased as
the amount of fuel supplied is decreased. To burnt the soot filtered in the CDPF, the control
system should be installed to check the operating range and increase the temperature of
exhaust gas by controlling the amount of fuel supplied and and intake air.
Two temperature sensors and one differential pressure sensor monitor the CDPF's operating
range. According to theses sensors' information, the throttle flap decreases the intake air
entered to the throttle body. Also, the fuel injection pattern is added to increase the temperature
of exhaust gas for soot combustion.
There are two fuel injection patterns (pilot injection and main injection). As the CDPF is
installed, the post injection pattern is added.

3) Post Injection and Air Mass Control

cardiagn.com
When the differential pressure sensor detects the pressure difference between the front and the
rear side of CDPF, the sensor sends signal indicating the soot is acumulated and the post
injection is performed to raise the temperature of exhaust gas. The amount of fuel injected is
determined according to the temperature of exhaust gas detected by the rear temperature
sensor. If the temperature is below 600°C, the amount of fuel injected is increased to
raise the temperature. If the temperature is over 600°C, the amount of fuel injected is
decreased or not controlled.
When the engine is running in low load range, the amount of post injection and the amount of
intake air are controlled.
It is to raise the temperature by increasing the amount of fuel while decreasing the amount of
intake air.

4) Throttle Body for Different Engines

The throttle body is not installed in the D27DT engine (general), but is installed in the following
engines:

1) D27DT (EU IV) engine

2) D27DTP (POWER UP) engine
3) D27DTP (POWER UP) engine + CDPF

Both engines are equipeed with the throttle body, but its appearance and the related control
system are differ.

5) Operating Procedures of CDPF

The most efficient and practical technology for now is adopted to the diesel particulate filter
(DPF).
This system collects the soot from the diesel engine to the filter and burns the soot so that over
than 95% of soot can be removed from the exhaust gas. However, the durability and the cost of
additional system remain as problems.
Firstly, the exhaust gas is passed through the DOC and its temperature is increased as it is
oxidized. The ECU detects the temperature change with two temperature sensors. The CO, HC
and partial particulate material are removed from the exhaust gas (this procedures are the
sames as the ones for the conventional DOC and no sensor is required).
After the exhaust gas is passed through the DOC and oxidized, most of the harmful material is
removed from the exhaust gas. However, to meet the environmental regulations in the future,
the soot is filtered and burnt again in DPF to decrease the particulate material further.

cardiagn.com
The filtered soot is burned whenever the vehicle is driven for 600 ~ 1200 km. The driving
distance can be differed depending on the vehicle's driving conditions. The soot is burnt for
15 ~ 20 minutes.

6) CDPF Over Load (Notice of Beginning CPF Regeneration Mode

- P1430)
1. The CDPF system enters the regeneration mode when the mileage is around 600 ~ 1,200
km, depending on the driving condition and driving habits. At this moment, the ECU
performs the CDPF regeneration process; however, the driver may not notice anything
because there is no engine warning or other signals indicating such process.
The control logic in the regeneration process is to increase the exhaust gas temperature by
increasing the fuel injection during post injection process and controlling the intake air
amount(throttle body), and no significant change can be noticed in the vehicle condition.
2. The engine CHECK lamp flashes but there is no decrease in engine torque.
3. The engine CHECK lamp flashes to inform the driver when there is an over load due to soot
accumulation because the regeneration temperature cannot be reached due to low speed,
even though CDPF regeneration is in process.
4. The CDPF regeneration process must be completed by driving for 15-20 minutes at a speed

cardiagn.com
higher than 80 km/h to solve this problem.
5. The engine CHECK lamp flashes when CDPF is over loaded; therefore, 4) above must be
performed in this case.

7) CDPF's Excessive Soot Accumulation (P0432)

1. When the vehicle is driven at a low speed (5-10 km/h) for a long time or long distance, the
soot over accumulates inside the CDPF and the combustion temperature cannot be reached
even by performing the soot combustion process. In this case, this DTC is generated.
2. This is more serious situation than the CDPF over load condition. Therefore, the engine
power is decreased to protect the system and the engine CHECK lamp is turned on.
3. Blow the soot between the engine and the exhaust system several times and clear the DTC
to solve this problem. If the same DTC is generated again, check the system according to
the DTC description related to the differential pressure sensor.
* This DTC is actually generated mostly due to the related system malfunction, such as
differential pressure sensor malfunction.
