The Supply Module draws the AdBlue/DEF out of the
tank with a diaphragm pump and compresses it to
the system pressure of 9 bar required for atomization.
This pressure is precisely maintained via the speed
of the electric drive motor. The Dosing Module doses
and atomizes the required quantity of AdBlue/DEF.
Control of the dosing and heating strategy, as well as
for on-board diagnosis, is carried out by the Dosing
Control Unit (DCU) or alternatively a software module
in the Engine Control Unit. Depending on several input
signals (e.g. NOx emission, engine load) the dosing
strategy calculates the required dosing quantity and
converts this into a pulse-width-modulated signal for
the Dosing Module. The system has a closed control
loop.
AdBlue/DEF freezes at -11°C. Therefore the system is
emptied at engine switchoff and heated before restart
to protect it from frost damages. Dosing is started only
when the system is ice-free.
Outlook
Future Denoxtronic development will have many
focuses including optimization of the spray, increased
robustness when the system freezes and optimization
for off-highway-specific applications. Another develop-
ment target is qualifying the Denoxtronic so it can
contribute to fulfilling future emission standards in
marine applications.
