Bien entendu différents modes de réalisation de ces moyens de dépollution peuvent être envisagés comme cela est bien connu dans l'état de la technique (filtre à particules, filtre à particules catalysé, piège à NOx, filtre à particules imprégné d'une fonction piège à NOx, catalyseur d'oxydation ou SCR, etc.).Of course, various embodiments of these depollution means can be envisaged as is well known in the state of the art (particulate filter, catalyzed particle filter, NOx trap, particulate filter impregnated with a trap function to NOx, oxidation catalyst or SCR, etc.).
Selon l'invention, ce système comporte des moyens de détermination de la puissance thermique apportée par les gaz d'échappement en amont du filtre à particules 1 pendant la phase de régénération de celui-ci et des moyens de comparaison de cette puissance à des valeurs de seuil pour déterminer une régénération échouée, partielle ou totale du filtre à particules.According to the invention, this system comprises means for determining the thermal power provided by the exhaust gases upstream of the particulate filter 1 during the regeneration phase thereof and means for comparing this power with values threshold for determining a failed, partial or total regeneration of the particulate filter.

Ces moyens présentent également n'importe quelle structure appropriée.These means also have any suitable structure.
Le fonctionnement de ce système est illustré sur la figure 2. Celui-ci débute par une étape 10 d'acquisition des informations de débit des gaz dans la ligne d'échappement et de température de ceux-ci en amont du filtre à particules. Puis lors d'une étape 11 , le calculateur 4 est adapté pour calculer la capacité thermique des gaz d'échappement, cp, selon la relation :The operation of this system is illustrated in FIG. 2.

Enfin, lors des étapes 14 et 15 respectivement, cette puissance thermique moyenne est comparée aux valeurs de seuil haute et basse respectivement pour permettre au calculateur si cette puissance thermique moyenne est supérieure à la valeur de seuil haute, de délivrer une information de régénération totale du filtre à particules, si la puissance thermique moyenne est inférieure à la valeur de seuil basse, de délivrer une information de régénération échouée du filtre à particules et dans les autres cas, de délivrer une information de régénération partielle de ce filtre à particules.Finally, during steps 14 and 15 respectively, this average thermal power is compared with the high and low threshold values respectively to allow the computer if this average thermal power is greater than the high threshold value, to deliver a total regeneration information of the particle filter, if the average thermal power is lower than the low threshold value, to deliver a failed regeneration information of the particulate filter and in other cases, to provide partial regeneration information of the particulate filter.

Système selon la revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que les moyens (4) de comparaison sont adaptés pour comparer la puissance thermique moyenne (Pth m0y) à une valeur de seuil basse prédéterminée (Sb) et à une valeur de seuil haute prédéterminée (Sh) pour évaluer une régénération échouée si la puissance thermique moyenne est inférieure à la valeur de seuil basse, une régénération totale si la puissance thermique est supérieure à la valeur de seuil haute et une régénération partielle dans les autres cas.4. System according to claim 3, characterized in that the means (4) of comparison are adapted to compare the thermal power averaging (P t h m0 y) to a predetermined low threshold value (Sb) and a predetermined high threshold value (Sh) to evaluate a failed regeneration if the average thermal power is lower than the low threshold value, a regeneration total if the thermal power is higher than the high threshold value and a partial regeneration in the other cases.
5. Système selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que la puissance thermique apportée est calculée entre l'enclenchement d'une demande d'aide à la régénération plus une période de temps prédéterminée et l'arrêt de cette demande d'aide plus la période de temps prédéterminée.5. System according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the thermal power supplied is calculated between the engagement of a request for assistance with the regeneration plus a predetermined period of time and the termination of this request for help more the predetermined period of time.
6. Système selon la revendication 5, caractérisé en ce que la période de temps est calibrable. 6. System according to claim 5, characterized in that the period of time is calibrated.
