Due to the 2010 EPA regulation changes, Hino has adopted SCR technology to comply with the new standards for emissions. We hope the following information will be useful in understanding how this technology works.
What is DEF? DEF is an abbreviation for "Diesel Exhaust Fluid", a solution made from 67.5% purified water and 32.5 percent automotive-grade urea that serves as a carrying agent for the ammonia needed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. When DEF is injected into the engine exhaust gas, downstream of the DPF, it will be rapidly hydrolyzed producing the oxidizing ammonia needed by the SCR catalyst to complete NOx emissions reductions.
What is EGR? EGR is an abbreviation for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, which lowers combustion temperature and decreases NOx by re-circulating exhaust gas back into the engine. This technology has been adopted by both gasoline and diesel powered vehicles to meet increasingly stringent emission levels.
What is a DPF? Diesel Particulate Filter. A device which physically captures diesel particulates preventing their discharge from the tailpipe. Collected particulates need to be removed from the filter, usually by continuous or periodic oxidation in a process called "regeneration".
What is SCR? SCR is an abbreviation for Selective Catalytic Reduction, a general term for aftertreatment equipment which promotes a chemical reaction by using a catalyst for eliminating or detoxifying particular chemical ingredients. To meet the EPA2010 regulation, the vehicle out NOx level will be extremely close to zero (0.2 Grams per brake horsepower). By mixing the NOx with the ammonia contained in urea, it will be separated into harmless water and nitrogen. It is an extremely effective, dependable, efficient and economical selection. SCR has already been adopted in Europe and Japan for truck and mobile vehicle applications, so it only makes sense to be used as a solution for EPA2010. Almost every U.S. diesel engine manufacturer plans to adopt SCR technology, further proving its reliability.
Will Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) have any influence on the oil change intervals required to properly maintain my engine? SCR uses a flow through aftertreatment device downstream from the DPF, so it does not put any excess load on engine itself and therefore will not change the required engine oil change interval.
How much DEF does Hino expect the engine will use? Our testing results show that the 6 cylinder medium duty engine will use a range of 1-2% DEF for each gallon of fuel consumed. The exact percentage will vary based on the duty cycle of the vehicle.
