Abstract: Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is one of the most effective particulate reduction components in diesel engine aftertreatment systems. However, prolonged utilization of a DPF might result in a deterioration in performance or even failure, such as ash-clogging, melting, breakage, and catalyst deactivation. It is crucial to conduct research on DPF performance degradation across a series of partially failed conditions. In this study, the morphology and chemical composition of the ash in the DPF samples were characterized. The effects of degree-varying clogging and unplugged-breakage failure on exhaust characteristics as well as DPF temperature, filtration and pressure drop characteristics were investigated. Finally, the sensitivity differences between DPF performance parameters and failure index parameters were examined using a canonical correlation analysis (CCA). When four factors were considered, the ash loading index and breakage index had the greatest impact on DPF temperature difference and filtration efficiency, while the exhaust mass flow rate had the greatest impact on pressure drop. Besides, the influence of the DPF inlet temperature on the pressure drop, filtration efficiency, and temperature difference was not significant. These findings contribute to the prediction of DPF performance in partially failed conditions and the development of DPF failure diagnosis methods.
