Summary
Introduction
Most 2010 heavy duty systems include: DOC + CSF + SCRs + ASC NOx reduction with emission control has been introduced
With proposed future regulations for GHG control and more emphasis on improved fuel economy, future engines will be designed with higher engine out NOx
Therefore, these future engines will require emission control systems with much higher NOx conversion capability
Additional NOx control across the DPF is being considered as one means of improving overall system NOx reduction capability
Objectives
Evaluate SCR coated DPFs in US 2010 configuration to understand NOx conversion capabilities of such systems
Test under Steady state Test under Transient cycles
Determine how SCR-DPF system can support higher NOx reduction for higher engine out NOx
Evaluate how filter regeneration is affected by introducing SCR coating on the DPF

Passive Regeneration
Test Protocol
SCR-DPF loaded up to 3g/l of soot
Speed A and DOC inlet temperature 400°C was chosen to evaluate passive regeneration. Filters were regenerated for 30 min.
Passive Regeneration during FTP cycle with urea injection (30hrs).
Following regeneration, filters were weighed while still hot at around 180°C
SCR-DPF was regenerated with EGR off
SCR-DPF passive regeneration capability was studied with urea injection (ANR=1.0)

Engine Out NOx (g/hp-hr) 5.5-5.8
NO2/NOx (%) DOC Out (Aged DOC)

Summary
SCR coated DPF systems are being designed to provide improved NOx reduction in future emission control systems
Transient results indicate that optimized SCR-DPF system provides high NOx conversion using same or smaller package volume as compared to 2010 system
SCR-DPF shows promising passive regeneration with higher engine out NOx during steady state
Passive regeneration was achieved during transient cycle under the conditions chosen for this study
These results suggest that SCR coated DPF can significantly help in meeting emissions with future higher NOx engines and thus assist in meeting higher fuel economy targets
