Abstract: In this paper, the Urea-SCR system is first introduced; then change of the urea solution concentration under different temperatures with time lapsing is given. Meanwhile, conditions for the urea crystallization are analyzed and SCR converter adaptability is tested under high sulfur environment on engine test bench. As the efficiency of NOx conversion is not significantly reduced after aging and the activity of the catalyst is very little damaged by dense sulfur content in fuel, SCR catalyst is able to adapt to the application of high-sulfur-contained fuel environment in our country.

Abstract: In order to fulfill future emission standards for middle and heavy-duty vehicles like state Ⅳ and Ⅴ, advanced measures on exhaust gas and engine functionality are required. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is the unique technology currently which can improve the emission and reduce fuel consumption simultaneously. Firstly the reductants and its chemical reactions, SCR system configurations and its working principle and urea dosing control strategy are introduced. Then tests are conducted on a diesel engine with SCR system at bench. The results of ESC cycle show that NO_x emission is decreased by more than 67% with the open-loop control strategy. Additionally, the urea and fuel consumption and ammonia leakage have been compared and analyzed respectively, the experiment data indicates that the urea water solution consumption ratio is only 5.7% of fuel for this SCR system, while its average ammonia slip is below 5 ppm.
