Why is the truck not consuming urea?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a heavy-duty truck might not be consuming urea: 1. Nozzle clogging: The most common cause of nozzle clogging is the use of substandard urea solution, which contains impurities that can block the nozzle. 2. Exhaust treatment system: There is an integrated chip control between the engine and the urea tank that determines how much urea solution needs to be injected based on the engine's power output. If the nozzle is clogged and cannot spray urea, it will result in a decrease in engine power. Below is more information about urea: 1. Urea: Urea is the common name; its formal name is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Other names include vehicle urea, automotive urea, and vehicle environmental urea. 2. Technology: Urea is a consumable required in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. SCR technology was developed by engine manufacturers to meet the requirements of environmental regulations. 3. Ammonia: Under normal circumstances, urea is harmless to the human body. However, urea decomposes into ammonia at high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to ammonia may lead to symptoms such as skin pigmentation or ulcers.
