Abstract
An exhaust purification system includes: a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) provided on an exhaust path of an engine; an upstream diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a downstream DPF that are provided on the exhaust path at positions downstream of the DOC to collect particulate matter contained in exhaust gas; electrodes that detect a capacitance of the upstream DPF; a particulate matter accumulation estimating unit that estimates at least an amount of particulate matter accumulated in the downstream DPF on the basis of the capacitance received from the electrodes; and a forced regeneration control unit that injects fuels into the DOC and performs forced regeneration that burns and removes at least the particulate matter accumulated in the downstream DPF when the estimated amount of particulate matter from the particulate matter accumulation estimating unit surpasses a predetermined amount.
