 What is SCR ?

SCR - “Selective Catalytic Reduction”

NOx reduction is achieved using SCR catalysts with the reductant

ammonia

SCR technology has been used in stationary applications since the

1970s for NOx reduction

SCR relies on complex chemical, mechanical and electrical systems to

obtain high NOx conversion efficiencies.

 What is Urea ?

NOxCare (Urea) is a high-purity 32.5 % (by weight)

aqueous urea solution

Hot urea melt is drawn directly from the plant and diluted
with demineralised water

To secure high-quality NOx Care in accordance with the

DIN V 70 070 standard, production is batch-wise

 Urea Dosing Pump UDS
 The Urea Dosing Pump is designed to deliver a flow of urea according to the
message in form of a CAN telegram sent by the engine ECM.

The Urea Dosing System is using the air supplied by the system to bring the
dosed volume of urea to the injection nozzle.

The UDS is having a built in heating devise that allow the system to operate
with outside temperature lower than –40C
Urea freezes @ - 11 degr C

The UDS is integrating its self-diagnostic procedure, the UDS is informing the
system about its status by sending OBD telegrams via the J1939 CAN link.

The UDS can accommodate both 12 VDC & 24 VDC supply voltage.

BMC TRAINING CENTER

 UDS Performance

The digital electronic doser control makes the Urea Dosing

System extremely fast to achieve the desired flow.

The suction flow is pulsated with a max peak flow about 25

litres/hours what ever the dosing demand is.

The suction flow pulse frequency increases with the dosing

volume.

intelligent pump, dosing urea to the
nozzle for injection, controlled via the

 NOx Sensor monitor

Component Location:
The aftertreatment outlet NOx sensor location can vary depending on engine
application. It is usually located in the exhaust system at the outlet of the aftertreatment
catalyst.

BMC TRAINING CENTER

 Description

The aftertreatment outlet nitrogen oxides (NOx) sensor is a smart device and
receives commands from the engine

Electronic control module (ECM) via the J1939 datalink. The aftertreatment
outlet NOx sensor performs its own Internal diagnostics and reports
malfunctions back to the primary ECM using the J1939 datalink.

The NOx sensor is permanently attached to the NOx control module. They are
serviced as single component and can not be replaced individually.

The aftertreatment outlet NOx sensor is used to measure the outlet NOx
emissions from the engine.

 System Principle.
The SCR system operates on the principle of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
The SCR system converts the Nitrogen Oxides produced by the engine (exhaust) into
Nitrogen and Water.

Liquid urea is injected upstream of a catalyst in the exhaust system using a very
accurate dosing pump.

The amount of urea injected by the pump is controlled by the engine ECM.

Under normal operation the Dosing pump has three control Phases:

1. Priming
2. Dosing
3. Purging.

BMC TRAINING CENTER

 System Priming
Key on engine not running dosing pump in parking situation!

Every time the Engine is RUNNING the dosing pump will go into the PRIMING phase.

Urea solution is circulated through the pump and back to the tank purging air
from the system.

If the PRIMING phase is successful you will hear the Doser Motor operate at 100%
for 30 seconds, an air solenoid will operate at the end of this phase.

If the PRIMING phase is not successful first time, the air solenoid will de-energize and
the motor will run at 100% for another 30 seconds.

This sequence can be repeated up to 20 times before ERROR 1682 SCR Pump State
Control Doser Error is displayed.

BMC TRAINING CENTER

 System Priming.

1: Dosing pump Operates 100% - 30 sec. Purching air from system

2: Air solenoid Operates only @ end of priming phase
BMC TRAINING CENTER
 System Dosing
At the end of the PRIMING phase the Air Solenoid Valve opens and the pump motor
stops. The pump is now ready to DOSE. The DOSING phase is controlled by the
engine ECM depending on the NOx produced by the engine and the exhaust
temperature.

The pump will not start dosing Urea unless both exhaust temperature sensors
reach 200 degrees, however air will be continuously dosed through the
Dosing Pump, Injector Supply line & Injector while the engine is running.

In the DOSING phase air regulated to 4 bar continuously passes and through the air
solenoid to the injector.

The air has two functions:

1. Acts as a transport media for the urea
2. Prevents the injection nozzle from becoming blocked.

 System Purging.
When the Key Switch is turned to the OFF position the system enters the PURGING
phase.

Compressed air flows through the injector and the pump. The air removes any urea
droplets from the system that could otherwise block the pump valves or the injection
nozzle.

The phase lasts for 30 seconds then the system switches off.
Purging is performed with every key off cycle.

If a SCR system Fault becomes active, then the SCR system will switch off, but first
purge the system with air to clean the system from Urea.
