(22) Electronic Control Module (ECM) Clean Emissions Module Basics
The clean emissions module contains a number of mechanical and electronic components that aid in reducing the various exhaust emissions emitted from the engine.The two major functions of the clean emissions module are:
Oxidize Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbon emissions through the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and trap particulate matter emissions (soot) in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Clean the trapped particulate matter emissions from the DPF using a process called Regeneration.The Clean Emissions Module (CEM) contains the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD). The ARD is used to regenerate, or clean, the soot from the DPF. The ARD is made up of a fuel, air, and electrical subsystems. Regeneration is a process which uses diesel fuel and boost air from the turbocharger to create a high temperature flame. The heat from that high temperature flame is introduced to the inlet of the DPF.In order to regenerate the DPF at the right time, the engine ECM must know how much soot is in the DPF. Measurement of soot is accomplished through the following means:
Delta pressure measurement across the DPF
Calculated model based on developed engine out soot measurementsThe information gathered from these three inputs is then converted into a percentage of soot output that is viewable through electronic soot level gauges. These gauges can be found in the various operator displays used with Cat Industrial Engines. The soot level may be displayed as a graphical bar, or as an actual percentage. Soot level can also be viewed through Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).Soot Level Outputs
The soot level percentage that is generated by the engine ECM is used in determining:
When to activate the DPF lamp
When to activate the action lamp (for high soot load events)
When to activate the action alarm (for high soot load events) (if equipped)
When to activate the forced engine low idle strategy
When to activate the forced engine shutdown strategy
Regeneration lockout
When a manual regeneration is allowed
When a low speed regeneration is allowed
When a high speed regeneration is allowedDPF Lamp - The DPF lamp will be illuminated at an 80 percent soot level.Action Lamp - The action lamp will be illuminated at a 100 percent soot level. The DPF lamp will remain on with the action lamp. Action Alarm - The action alarm will be activated at a 116 percent soot level.Forced low idle strategy - The forced low idle strategy will be activated after the soot level has been at 116 percent for 5 minutes. At this time, the engine will automatically drop to the programmed low idle speed. The only method to unlock the low
