Thermometrics Acusolve Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Soot Sensor uses radio frequency technology to accurately monitor the amount of built-up soot in the DPF, giving real-time closed loop control of the DPF regeneration process and soot loading data. The optimization and decrease of DPF regeneration cycles are made possible by accurate assessment of the soot load. For both active and passive regeneration systems, this subsequently enables increased fuel efficiency and longer filter life.
The engine system may malfunction, causing exhaust emissions to exceed the standard levels of the controlled emissions, if emissions control systems and engine control devices fail. In order to take the right precautions to notify the vehicle operator, it is necessary to continuously check the operational state of all key control devices.
This article examines a soot sensor that is being worked on for on-board diagnostics to track down a failing diesel particulate filter. A resistive soot sensor was chosen for the on-board diagnostics application by original equipment manufacturers due to its commercial viability in terms of functionality and price. In exhaust gas, the sensor collects soot particles on the sensing element.
The cumulative sensor’s architecture, functionality, and signal processing methods are all detailed. The post-diesel particulate filter soot concentration is monitored over 100 times and averaged to ensure measurement accuracy because the sensor signal contains disturbances and fluctuations.
This allows for the detection of diesel particulate filter failures. This article discusses the present state of continuously developing continuous soot sensors, including an electrostatic sensor, an electrical charging sensor, and a radio frequency-based sensor, in addition to the resistive soot sensor.
Prior to their deployment to production cars, there are significant packaging and cost challenges with these sensors that need to be addressed.
The Global Soot sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of soot sensors for air quality monitoring. This trend has been driven by the need to understand the impacts of air pollution on human health, as well as the desire to improve air quality in urban areas.
By monitoring the presence of soot particles in the air, governments and other organizations can identify areas of high pollution and take appropriate action.
Another recent trend in soot sensor technology is the development of miniature sensors. These sensors are much smaller than traditional sensors, making them easier to install and operate in a variety of settings. Miniature sensors are also becoming more affordable, so they can be used in more widespread applications.
The development of advanced data processing algorithms is another key trend in soot sensor technology. These algorithms allow for the analysis of large amounts of data in a matter of seconds, providing valuable insights into air pollution levels. This technology can also be used to detect and track changes in air quality over time.
Finally, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to be applied to soot sensors. AI-enabled sensors can be used to automatically detect and classify soot particles in the air, allowing for more accurate and timely measurements. This technology could be used to monitor air pollution in real-time, providing an invaluable tool for air quality management.
