Self Study Program 622 – Second generation Audi clean diesel

VAG SSP 622. This Self Study Programme describes the design and function of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system adapted for the use of AdBlue reducing agent.

Reducing the nitrous oxide content (NOx) in exhaust emissions is a global challenge facing automobile manufacturers, who are required to meet the new statutory limits set by the Euro 6 standard and equivalent international regulations on exhaust emission limits.

A modern “Selective Catalytic Reduction” (SCR) emission control system utilises the chemical synthesis product of urea (AdBlue) to reduce NOx emissions. In SCR systems, AdBlue reacts with the NOx  emissions to produce water vapour and nitrogen. NOx is short for nitrous oxide gases; they occur during the combustion process in diesel engines and are reduced by means of SCR  technology. ”

AdBlue is manufactured by a solution of a chemical called urea (also called carbamide) in water. Urea is a synthetic product which usually is made from natural gas and used in fertilizers, plastics and cosmetics. AdBlue is not made from recycled agricultural products. For exhaust gas aftertreatment in the AdBlue SCR system, the exhaust system requires additional components such as the heated catalyst1), the water-cooled metering valve, the diesel particulate filter with integrated DeNOx catalytic converter and the ammonia blocking catalytic converter.

AdBlue is a registered trademark of Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA).

Learning objectives of this self study programme:

Once you have completed this Self Study Programme you will be able to answer the following questions:

Installed in a limited number of models only.

  • What is the function of the heated catalyst?
  • Which new sensors are integrated in the reduction system?
  • Why does the exhaust gas temperature have to be relatively high?
  • What is the function of the ammonia blocking catalytic converter?
