systems are mandatory. With our Denoxtronic for

commercial vehicles, we introduced such a system to
the market as long ago as 2004. It was a great success
and in 2008 won the Eco Globe environment prize
in the category of supplier innovation. Series production of the third generation Denoxtronic 2.2 started
in late 2009 for several customers.

into ammonia required for the further reaction. In the
second step, inside the SCR catalytic converter, the
ammonia reduces the exhaust-gas nitrogen oxides into
harmless water and nitrogen. The electronic control
can be integrated into the engine control unit (ECU)

the heavy- and medium-duty segment. Today, it is
also successfully used in off-highway applications.

for on-board diagnosis, is carried out by the Dosing

Control Unit (DCU) or alternatively a software module
in the Engine Control Unit. Depending on several input
signals (e.g. NOx emission, engine load) the dosing
strategy calculates the required dosing quantity and
converts this into a pulse-width-modulated signal for
the Dosing Module. The system has a closed control
loop.
AdBlue/DEF freezes at -11C. Therefore the system is
emptied at engine switchoff and heated before restart
to protect it from frost damages. Dosing is started only
when the system is ice-free.
Outlook
Future Denoxtronic development will have many
focuses including optimization of the spray, increased

for off-highway-specific applications. Another development target is qualifying the Denoxtronic so it can
contribute to fulfilling future emission standards in
marine applications.
