Abstract
An engine system includes an electronically controlled compression ignition engine configured to burn diesel fuel to produce an exhaust with a temperature and NOx to soot ratio. An aftertreatment system is fluidly connected to the engine and includes a diesel oxidation catalyst, a reductant supply, and a diesel particulate filter coated with a NOx reduction catalyst but not the diesel oxidation catalyst. A soot load density in the diesel particulate filter is stabilized by oxidizing soot at about a same rate as the compression ignition engine is supplying soot to the aftertreatment system without active regeneration. A NOx reduction reaction is catalyzed by the NOx reduction catalyst on the diesel particulate filter.
