wrong liquid in adblue - misfuel advice

The AdBlue^®/DEF, which is used on diesel powered vehicles in order to clean the exhaust gases with SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction), has some special characteristics which have to be considered.

The fluid crystallizes when in contact with air and causes corrosion when in contact with some common metals and other materials. For a correct function of the SCR technology it is important that the chemical is not contaminated, and in order to prevent that refilling is done in the wrong tank the refilling inlet has been designed and standardised according to ISO standards

• Prevents the risk for spillLess risk for spills and corrosion.
• Only AdBlue^®/DEF can be refilled in the tankPrevents wrong fluid to be filled in the AdBlue^®/DEF tank, which could cause serious damage to the SCR system
• Can be retrofitted
  The equipment can be retrofitted on existing vehicles

Iveco announces Euro VI engine line up with no EGR

Iveco and Fiat Powertrains have announced a Euro VI engine line which meets the emissions standards without using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). Instead the new engine range relies on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to meet NOx limits.
Fiat Powertrains' (FTP) new SCR technology will be introduced onto the new Cursor and Tector engine ranges for heavy-duty trucks and buses.
Alfredo Altavilla, Iveco Chief Executive Officer, said: "The technology that reduces fuel consumption and additional operating costs to their minimum is the correct technical choice. FPT Industrial's 'SCR Only' exhaust after-treatment fulfils this important need.
"It is clear that Euro VI vehicles will be more expensive; technology has a price and a value. We will introduce suitably equipped vehicles when our customers ask us to do so."
The new technology includes the following features, according to FTP:
• Optimised fluid-dynamics modelling of exhaust gas and AdBlue injection on SCR catalysts.• Feed forward control logic to enable precise AdBlue dosing in order to abate incoming sensed NOx emissions.
• Ammonia and NOx sensor technology for extremely accurate exhaust gas sensing, enabling adaptive AdBlue dosing to compensate for any ageing of the SCR catalyst.
• Insulated tube turbulence mixer technology to allow a homogeneous urea hydrolysis and distribution in the exhaust gas stream by introducing a swirling motion.
Euro VI emissions norms will apply to heavy-duty vehicles from the from 1st January 2014
