Emission Control Components

Diesel exhaust fluid heater for the selective catalytic reduction system

Emission control devices inject Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) periodically into the exhaust, to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust into nitrogen and water, to reduce emissions.

How Selective Catalytic Reduction System Works

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) uses basic chemistry and a simple process to reduce nitrogen oxides, or NOx, emissions, into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

DEF is a fluid that is injected periodically into the exhaust of the SCR system to convert NOx in the exhaust into nitrogen and water, reducing NOx levels to almost zero. It is an organic, non-toxic compound, made of 32.5% urea and 67.5% purified water.

Though harmless to humans, DEF is a highly corrosive fluid to most rubber and metals and requires specially formulated rubber compounds and stainless steel couplings for optimal handling.

When the vehicle runs out of DEF, the speed is automatically reduced and limited to 50 MPH in order to limit the NOx emission. Further escalation, including engine No Start, may occur if issue is not fixed.
