摘要

The particle filter has filter surface and filter volume with characteristic values for engine performance and engine capacity. The particle filter is a honeycomb filter with multiple mutually locked channels and is made from a ceramic material. The ceramic material has cordierite, aluminum titanate, alumina, titanium dioxide and silicon carbide. The filter is formed from a metal foam, a sintered metal or a ceramic foam. An independent claim is also included for a method of dimensioning a particle filter.
