Abstract: The invention is based on the fundamental principle of measuring the pressure upstream of the diesel particle filter (3) or the pressure based on the flue gas volume upstream of said diesel particle filter (3) after regeneration of the filter. This  flue gas pressure variable  measured immediately after regeneration is a measure for the ash mass deposited in the diesel particle filter (3). The  total flow resistance  and the flow resistance caused by the ash mass can be used to calculate for the next regeneration the flow resistance caused by the soot or the soot amount.
