Summary:A power system, including a multi-cylinder air breathing, fuel consuming diesel engine having a manifold with a common inlet for distributing combustion air to a plurality of cylinders. A valve is positioned in the intake manifold to at least restrict air flow to a group of the cylinders of the engine less than the total number of cylinders so as to increase the load and increase the temperature of exhaust gas for facilitating regeneration of a particulate filter.
