Opening the hood, the heat radiation is massive.
I have no idea what type of system your vehicle uses, however if regens are taking that long I would want to believe there is something wrong. Often times they use a delta pressure sensor to determine soot loading. If the pressure sensor has gone bad, it may be the cause of your frequent/extended regens.
