Abstract:
The present invention relates to a particle filter and a method for operating a particle filter. The particle filter includes at least one filter portion forming an open filter system and also a heatable particle collecting element which is arranged adjacently to this filter portion and comprises a material having temperature-dependent electrical resistance. The method for operating the particle filter includes heating the particle collecting element and measuring the electrical resistance of the particle collecting element to determine whether to regenerate the particle filter.
