Thermodynamic Challenges
Heat up during cold start
low temperature condition
Start of AdBlue Injection
AdBlue-Decomposition
NH3/ NOx Uniformity
SCR “Light-Off”
SCR Conversion
Limitation SCR Kinetic
Limitation of NH3/ NOx
Limitation NH3 storage
Challenges and demands for SCR- Emission control technologies across various applications
Duty Cycle goals with lowestbsf and lowest coolingrequirements
Fundamental Steps for AdBlue Decompositionand Technology for System Optimization
1. Step: evaporation of Water: {(NH2)2CO •7H2O}fl {(NH2)2CO}fl + 7 H2O
2. Step: thermolysis of Urea: {(NH2)2CO}fl HNCO + NH3
3. Step: hydrolysis of isocyanic acid: HNCO + H2O CO2 + NH3
steps from AdBlue towards Ammonia:
Adblue® droplet penetration on surface evaporation & thermolysis1. + 2. reaction steps
AdBlue droplet interaction on surface
Emitec-Technology for Optimization:
� Optimize Hydrolysis: Usage of Hydrolysis Catalyst / Mixer
� Optimize NH3 – Distribution: Optimization of Mixing pipe and mixing design
