For many years Hydraulik-Ring develops dosing systems and components for exhaust aftertreatment systems functioning according to the SCR-principle. The components made by Hydraulik- Ring have been used successfully in series production for many years. The requirements dosing systems must meet as to installation size, precise dosing and cost are constantly increasing. With Hilite / Hydraulik-Ring you have a partner who offers optimal solutions for your application requirements.
d series supplier for the Automotive Industry Emission standards Road traffic has a substantial part in global climate change. Especially heavy duty vehicles cause over 50% of the particulate and NOx emission. Particularly Diesel engines emit eight to ten times more NOx than gasoline engi- nes although in the average they are 10-25% less thursty and thus emit less CO 2 (-11%). This positive effect is anulled by the emission of particulate matter (soot) and NOx. In past years legislation has reacted with increasingly stricter emission standards especially for diesel powered vehicles.? Abbrevitations in this brochure: SCR g/bhp-hr g/kwh HC NOx PM AdBlue EGR DPF = Selective catalytic reduction = Grams per brake horsepower-hour = Grams per kilowatt hour = Hydrocarbon = Oxides of nitrogen = Particulate matter = 32,5% aqueous urea water solution = Exhaust gas recirculation = Diesel particulate filter
The innovative, global development partner an Trade-off Measures which can be taken within the engine had to reduce fuel consumption and particulate matter, but at the same time the amount of NOx increases. Starting with Euro 5 we can only get Diesel engines clean by exhaust aftertreatment. During the aftertreatment particulate matter and NOx are reduced. Wege um die entsprechenden Emissionsgrenzwerte zu erreichen If in the opposite case NOx emission is reduced by measures inside the engine, e.g. EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) which lowers the combustion temparature the amount of particulate matter and fuel consumption increase. The SCR-system solves this trade-off by reducing fuel consumption inspite of reduction of PM and NOx. Chemical Processes in the SCR-System In the SCR-process (Selective catalytic reduction) ammonia reacts, in a special catalyst at a certain temperature with the NOx in the exhaust fumes. Since pure ammonia is a dangerous substance, we inject in the SCR-process a 32.5 % aqueous solution (Ad- Blue ) into the exhaust tract before it enters the SCR-catalyst. Ammonia is released by means of a hydrolytic reaction and can react with the NOx in the SCR-catalyst. Hydrolysis is the splitting of a chemical compound by reaction with water. In this split one hydrogen atom goes to one split-off piece and the remaining hydroxyl group goes to the other piece. The quantity of the injected urea depends on the NOx emission of the engine and thus on the current engine speed and torque. Therefor it is indispensable to control the injection process exactly.
d series supplier for the Automotive Industry SCR-Components Gen1- Air-Assisted In the dosing system of the first generation a pump transfers AdBlue to the dosing unit. There depending of temperature and pressure the AdBlue is dosed by an injection valve into a tube in which it is transported by an accelerated air stream as an aerosol to the injection nozzle in the exhaust gas. The system is abt for contolled concepts, above all for vehicles with compressed air equipment.

The innovative, global development partner an SCR-Components Gen 2 - Liquid Only Dosing systems of the second generation work without compressed air. Their special feature is the exact dosing into the exhaust stream by means of a predefined spray behaviour. This allows the system to work still more precisely in closed loop systems. Leagal requirements increase, package sizes cannot grow any bigger (Tank, Ad- Blue tank, aggregates, catalysts, particle filters etc.). This means, that construction space is getting smaller, the distance for the hydrolytic process is getting shorter and its form is changing etc. Hilite is in the position to consider all these factors and to adopt the system to individual conditions and requirements. Supply unit Dosing unit Spray of the Dosing System Gen 2 Spray process initial phase Spraying phase Spray process final phase Exact spray (Drop sizes < 27 µm) is decisive for the hydrolysis (further evaporation and splitting into ammonia and CO 2 ), so that the ammonia can react in the catalyst. Finest spray allows excellent conversion rates (amount of the NOx reduction), but also the exact quantity is important since otherwise the conversion rates deteriorate and the ammonia slip becomes too big.
d series supplier for the Automotive Industry Simulation Simulation tools help to optimize systems and to apply them virtually. Thus we can e.g. determine both the optimal point of injection and the optimal injection angle.
