1.1. System description
DiNLOG
is a complete, standalone solution for monitoring the status of the diesel particles and diesel
particulate filter. Its function is achieved through continuous measurement, display and logging of
exhaust gas temperature, back pressure, engine speed (rpm) and NOx / O
2
(optionally).
The values received from the sensors are evaluated and compared with preconfigured settings to
determine whether user intervention or maintenance is needed. For example, if the back pressure values
become too high (indicating that the filter is clogged) or too low (indicating that the filter is damaged), the
system will both alert the user with a visual and audible alarm and save the event in the logger memory.
Alarms generated by an event, together with the visual indications, remain active until the source (e.g.,
measured value) returns to normal levels. Audible notifications are switched off after the alarm is
acknowledged by the user.
The driver can observe the system operation by checking if the exhaust system temperature is within
optimal values for filter operation. If a back-pressure alarm is generated, the driver can raise the
temperature of the exhaust gases by increasing the engine speed and therefore can initiate the system
cleaning. When the back pressure is within the normal values again, visual warning will be turned off.
Additionally, the monitoring system can be connected to the PC software for online data monitoring, data
examination or system programming.
