Abstract

A method for regenerating a filtering device is disclosed. The method may include creating a flow of exhaust with a power source and providing air to a combustion device configured to heat the flow of exhaust. The method may also include determining if a parameter is above a threshold. The parameter may be indicative of an amount of air provided to the combustion device. The method may further include modifying an operating condition of the power source if the parameter is above the threshold, where modifying the operating condition affects the parameter.
